    Basically. I can send pics of the receiving side, but it's basically a lander, a signal transmitter, some constant cominbators with a handful of each entity type I'll need (and a ton of rocket parts, elevator cables, meteor defense items), and then storage chests for each item.

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    Yeah the combination of "Oh I'll save 40% if I buy today" along with, "Not sure if I want to play Space Marine but I do want them to make more games like this" makes up a huge % of those people who don't even install the game. Personally I almost never purchase until I am imminently going to play.

    VP in RoS is one of my favorite all time grouping zones. I wish they'd have a zone at the end of every expansion that was basically a recycled old-world zone with a bunch of tough ass mobs intended for strong groups that dropped some unique stuff with the intent that people would go through it...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    Could see it going either way. I don't know anything about how Supergiant games works, but I can only imagine during development a bunch of designers got around to pick out a bunch of characters, then sketch up a bunch of different versions of them. If some artist makes a bunch of sketches for...

    Not a fan of the art style of hearth lady, but whatever. Whenever I see vitiligo or fat models mixed in I figure part of it is that artists get bored drawing the same shit.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Let's not kid ourselves, a BG3 expansion where the level cap was raised to 20 and the quality was as good as BG3 would be fun AF. I played multiple heavily modded BG1->BG2->ToB runs and by the end my Fighter/Mage/Thief was an absolute ridiculous level 40 monster fighting other absolutely...

    This conversion is so high volume it's basically iridite -> iron/copper/heavy oil alchemy that impacts your need for iron/copper/oil.

    @Tholan Note that my railway network hasn't been truly stressed because my realized SPM production has always been way lower than what my factories can produce. And most factories are only active intermittently as I am moving through the tech tree. I've almost finished the tech tree and when I...

    I'll probably end up with an outpost for every core fragment product except iron, copper, rare earth metals (from Krastorio2) and coal. Then a couple for asteroid belts, 1 for asteroid fields and another for sun orbit for my energy glaive farm.

    In my case, almost all my trains are 1-1 (1 engine, 1 cargo). I have some areas where I use 1-4-1 (1 engine, 4 cargo, 1 engine). Initially I had most things at 1-4-1, and it worked fine but for most items the volume being transported is so low that it's not justified. If you have multiple cargo...

    Here's my scrap processing on Nauvis. When material research is going this place gets buuusy. Looking at it now I'm not sure why I built it on Nauvis instead of Nauvis Orbit, since I believe scrap is less dense than the materials it turns into. I think this base was my first time creating a...

    I loved two boxing my cle/enc and tag-teaming mobs with a one-two stunlock punch to get my debuffs off. I disliked mezzing my charm because then the few second interruption from charm dropping turned into a much longer affair.

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    This definitely moved the game from day 1 to "wait a few months and see". I don't blindly boycott based on who makes the game, but WH40k and Space Marines in particular definitely need to be written by someone who can unapologetically and unironically embrace a violent male fantasy. Don't bother...

    Rebuilt my nauvis research base. Don't mind the huge yellow storehouses, they are just holding glut and will be depleted as the factory produces stuff. This uses the "box of chocolates" approach I've been using in addition to the compressed requester train stations. I wish there was a way to...

    Halfway through Ripple system book 2. The gameplay mechanics, land ownership and ship combat really reminds me of Archeage. That reminds me, Ascend Online #5 will be out on May 7th. I briefly talked with the author and asked him about EQ since the book references it, and he said he was heavily...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Probably best to look at admittance to hospitals by breed. Death from a dog usually requires extraordinary circumstances, and reported bites is too large a net. If my neighbor has a loud, aggressive chihuahua they don't keep control of that nips my kid I'm not going to let it slide and that's a...

    I started the Arcosphere Balancing phase of Space Exploration last night. That's another part of the mod I've been looking forward to for a while and it's not disappointing at all. The first attempt I blindly made worked "OK" but not great. I'm reading a bit more about it and it's way deeper...

    Unlucky meteors can happen on planets with biter meteors too, which repopulated the biters on my planet after I completely wiped them out. I relaxed my pollution so as soon as they landed they multiplied like crazy until I caught them.

    Largely out, yes. But not totally out. I think people leveling personas build up merc task / mission routes or whatever. Also note that you also need to regrind the AAs for a persona, even the general ones.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    The amount of XP the achivements give is fixed, such that if you did the ToV quests early (at like 100 or something) you'd get multiple levels. When I've powerleveled alts I've done them ASAP and you cruise up pretty high. I'd say if you're leveling normally, just do the content when it becomes...

    Yes. It's super duper hot (5000C). It'll finish its interstellar journey with like, 40k out of 50k steam left. I have this little factory that emits a beam on the top into the receiver on the bottom, which turns the heat into 5000C steam that is sent via train to different parts of my Nauvis...

    My Cryonite moon was one of the most reliable factories and the last of the new resources to adopt core mining. It just chunked along indefinitely, providing sand and cryonite to the solar system with only the rare need to find another mine. I rehauled it using the same kind of style as before...

    Yeah, it feels like all the builders suffer from the same scaling issue where in the endgame you're still drawing lines of roads and shit. A game where you start off being the local leader of some shithole village with like 10 people in it and have to literally farm cabbage yourself at first...

    I went to my Vitamelange planet and rebuilt the factories.
