Joss Whedon and Zack Snyder have such different styles that I don't think Joss could ever have put together a decent movie based on Snyder's leftovers. Most of Whedon's stuff has been pretty decent, he just wasn't the right director to take over JL. Of course he is heavily responsible for...

Still on my first game. I was way down the bottom of the power meter for a long time as I was focussed primarily on science and economy and had almost zero fleet. Was prepared to build one if someone became aggressive but it never happened. When I ran out of room to expand into I declared war on...

If you're dumb enough to do personal stuff like play games on your company computer you deserve any grief that comes your way anyway. I still remember the time a decade + ago, I was helping an employee try to find the photos from his camera he had imported and couldn't find. I ran a search for...

Just picked this game up, looks great so far. My first map, I have two close neighbours who are both 'fanatical purifiers' which I guess means it's going to get violent pretty quickly.

Of those nominated: I've seen pieces of a woman and promising young woman which were both very good. I've seen the Eurovision movie which was bad but had it's moments. I've seen mulan which was awful. I saw the first 20 minutes of borat 2 and then turned it off.

100%, from the tiny tidbit of info we have so far this looks like the beautiful offspring spawned of warframe and HZD.

I'd never been to a sports entertainment/wrestling match live before. Went to one a few weeks ago in the local league for my small city. Was only a tiny crowd, less than 100 but they were rowdy. More than half children. It was a great show.. there were two young girls, must have been about 9 and...

Agreed, the combat in satisfactory was one thing I didn't like about that game. Quite a number of times I died to random monsters while out exploring far from home, then had to find my way all the way back to my death point to pick up all the stuff I was carring.. very irritating.

The developers of DSP have said they're planning to add enemies to it. Whether that just means creatures you fight on planets, or enemy civilizations you compete against I'm not sure.

So if I buy FF7R in the playstation store then it will automatically upgrade to the PS5 version once that becomes available or do I need to wait until June and buy the Intergrade package?

Sails leave the swarm and join a sphere if there are enough frame segments.

That sounds torturous and would use way more materials than doing it using railguns. Props I guess though.

Just caught this.. Mesmerising is the right word. Beautiful movie.

That is pretty impressive. You must be plowing through the research. I'm down to 15% materials consumed by miners by researching at 90p/m. How are you keeping up the energized graphite supply? 300 refineries running x-ray cracking?

That kind of design only works for low output factories though because the 30/s limit of a single conveyor is a strong limitation. Very clever and works well for what he's using it for, although I don't get why he's wasting space and materials stockpiling conveyor/sorter/assembler mk1/2. Once...

I have places where ILS fail in that they are shipping so much stuff that they can't charge power fast enough to keep all the ships in the air. For those I just have multiple parallel shipping routes.

Just read Gideon the Ninth. Wonderful book, one of the most fun and original novels I've read in years.

Thought that was Cad Bane at 0:53 but on further review it's not, bummer. Anyway, looks good!

Always run your construction lines along the parallels/latitude lines.

I haven't used any mods. There are definitely qol improvements to be had. The thing I need the most is better logistics management. I have so many logistics towers moving things around across many planets. When something in the supply chain fails it can take me ages to figure out where the...

If you've got the same number of matrix labs for each colour the higher end one will be the bottleneck assuming you have all of the subcomponents available. The higher level cubes take longer to build. For subcomponents, plane filters would be the biggest bottleneck most likely as they take by...

Tried watching this.. really boring, couldn't get halfway through. Not my kind of movie.

Glad I saw this thread before watching The Kid Detective review. Watched the movie, then watched the review. Recommend both!

I had never seen this show before.. Watched all 2 and a bit seasons of it in the last few weeks. Great show, most of the characters are likeable. Officer Smitty is the best obviously. Season 3 has definitely taken a heavy turn into recent cultural issues as everyone has noticed. I don't have...

Finally finished building my first sphere. Took 80860 rockets, and approximately 12 times as many sails. Interesting to note that it doesn't affect the effectiveness of solar panels on planets outside the sphere. Wonder if they will change that in future patches.

I've got 1 black hole, 1 neutron star, 1 0 type, 1 blue giant.. 0 type is by far the best so far in terms of resource quantity.. the black hole and neutron star only have 1 planet each. I don't think luminosity really matters. Yes you'll get more power, but the sphere I built in my starting...

No water or oil, but impressive nonetheless.

That is a lot of resources.. looks like I need to explore more then! Near my home system I found a planet that has 20mil stalagmite.. it's an ocean world though, 99% water coverage.. Does that system have a lot of planets or just huge mineral deposits on the planets it does have? I haven't...

Has anyone done enough exploring to be able to tell if further away stars tend to have more resources? Just exploring the ones near my home system some of them have outrageously high quantities of resources, like 30mil stone, 20mil fire ice, 25 mil of all of the common metals etc. I have all of...

Don't overlook the power requirements of the launch silos. You'll need 3 silos per mk3 assembler building rockets to keep them launching non stop, and each silo uses 18MW. It's easier to start slow and ramp up because once you've got the a bit of the sphere built you can scale up ray receivers...

It's a builder game and feels very similar to other builder games. Fixing the constant supply chain problems is part of the game and I enjoy it, but if you didn't like factorio or satisfactory then this one wouldn't be for you either. This game has a lot more whack-a-mole than other builders...

Ready, aim, FIRE!

Some of the visualss in this game are just great.. Watching from space as my rocket production facility on 58 Corvi II is firing rockets and railguns non stop at my sphere, it looks like two space stations having a battle.

Feed your accumulators through an energy exchanger so you can automate Orbital Harvesters.. you can fit around 40 on each gas giant for a free and unlimited hydrogen, deuterium and fire ice supply!

That sounds nice.. Problem with blueprints is the non consistant tile layout on planets.. many templates would only work close to the equator.. I'm curious if they are going to do something with lava.. maybe a renewable source of stone in the future.

The first thing I did when I got white cubes was research 4 levels of mech energy so I can warp to further away stars and work for longer on one charge.

But I still have so much to do!

You can build any subsection of sphere, so you could just build a ring if you want. I've got 12 rocket launch silos going non stop now.. still going to take a long time to build the sphere.. need to scale up some more. You can see all of the rocket delivering construction materials in the...

I have my manufacturing spread evenly across 3 planets in my home system so I didn't need to tear anything down. I've got my sphere & sail production & launch system built on my silicon planet with heaps of space for expansion. Main issue is power now since you need so many launchers and...

It wouldn't surprise me if there isn't enough materials to build a sphere around every star.. dyson sphere takes a hell of a lot of mats to build. I just started building my first one.. had to substantially increase my titanium alloy production.. Luckily I already tapped into a sulfuric ocean in...
