    I doubt they'll do anything like that. Krastorio 2 offers some endgame production features , but I don't know of any mods that add something like 20x20 miners. Krastorio 2

    The Astronomy Thread

    My bet is that we'll be creating some massive space telescopes that can fit on a Starship and yeet them up. No extra construction from multiple-launches required. The JWST's diameter is 6.5 meters, it looks like the Very Large Telescope is 8.2 meters. It probably won't be that hard to beat...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I bet we're going to yeet the biggest telescopes of all time into space in the next ~20 years. Like, multi-satellite telescopes with fairly large fields of view that are built to detect and track small, cold objects in our solar system.

    Bingo, thanks! I wrongly assumed those different filters were OR operations, which would be dumb now that I'm thinking about it more.

    Dwarf Fortress

    all right so I'm trying to set up a fairly basic production of high-value goods. I don't know if this makes sense from a metagaming perspective and I don't really even care. I'm trying to make steel, copper, silver etc amulets and then encrust them with high value gems, hoping the end result...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    That's one thing I liked about the Expanse. It takes place in a similar time period as Starfield, a few hundred years after colonization. In that time an entirely new culture of vulnerable people evolved with their own dialect, issues and history. It presents a more interesting and realistic...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Of all the reasons I'm interested in integration of LLMs like ChatGPT in games, I think being able to tell NPCs to get fucked is pretty high up there.

    Too many WoW versions? Introducing Federation Services

    Why stop there? Make it multi-game. I'd love to bring my Dragonborn from Baldur's Gate 3 into World of Warcraft!

    Everquest 3 - 2028?

    An MMO built around the concept of a party RPGs would be interesting, if a bit of a limited market. You could focus on different levels of control: * Controlling each character individually, aka alt-tab boxing * Relying on /follow type mechanics and using something like key broadcasting...

    I think the most valuable parts of EQ's lore have to do with memorable zones, NPCs, items and quests. yep

    There's only four companions with depth. Sam, Andreja, Sarah and Barret.

    Everquest 3 - 2028?

    Probably not. From now till 2028 I think you'll see more and more Skyrim mods and a few proofs of concept doing LLM->Content stuff. The hard part is generating content in a usable format and integrating it. https://gamerant.com/skyrim-quests-chatgpt-ai/

    My city gets a huge chunk of its revenue from property taxes, most of which are primary living properties. How would you want them to replace those funds?

    Investing General Discussion

    Thanks for posting that, it's something I've been wondering for a while. After saving for what feels like my entire life I bought my first house a few years ago. It's something like 3100sqft with a full finished basement. 3.5 baths. Backs up to a wooded area. Even four years later it still...

    I'd only be interested in another The Office if it was produced in a non-western country. Like South Korea or Nigeria.

    Everquest 3 - 2028?

    I've played all the Dark Souls and Elden Ring but I don't really know what this means. I can imagine an MMO where... * Players leave a corpse on death with XP / gold / whatever they can recover * Players can feasibly clear the game at level 1 if their skill is high enough, while increasing in...

    I think it just goes back to the difficulty of writing Voltron content in a book that starts with cripple fights. Every long-lived progression fantasy series is going to have to deal with the same thing and either you just make equal power levels cancel each other out (Or you just ignore the...

    I tried to find a list of racial slurs used by dwarves in different fantasy settings and all I could find is articles telling me that racism against dwarves is wrong.

    Dwarf Fortress

    I kind of enjoy how this game doesn't have an apparent tech tree to climb. "What workshop do you want to build??? There are 50 choices!!! Great, we can build that Armorsmith. You can't do shit with it, are you a sky-loving moron??"

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    It's the classic problem of open RPGs where you want to have these massive structures, but don't want to have the massive expanse of farmlands to support it. I wouldn't have had a problem if they did it Mass Effect 1 style and just said, "Akila is fucking huge. Here's 4 zones you can go to to...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    What's funny is one of the loading screens says something like, "If you're in a system with an outpost farming HE-3, you'll have extended range on your spaceship!" like that's a perk of a system that might or might not be in the game.

    Nah fuck the ground vehicles. Those would be Mako-levels of fun on some planets but terrible on most planets. There's a ship mechanic in the game, use it, idc how silly or unperformant it is.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I don't even really want seamless planet/ground flight. I'd rather have fast travel. What I do want is a mechanic where you can buzz around the surface at something like 5x+ runspeed, and be able to land in arbitrary locations. I'm hoping in a couple of years or so there will be: Ground flight...
