this was a fun level

>>558965907>DSPNo. I think I've played enough chink slop for a lifetime or two.I'm seriously considering going back to Minecraft. Is GTNH the go-to /egg/'s modpack?

>>558966057DSP is the rare good chinese game, I wouldn't discount it that quickly>I'm seriously considering going back to Minecraft. Is GTNH the go-to /egg/'s modpack?I think e2e (small) or dj2 (big) are better, but gtnh is the most ambitious.
>>558966843>dj2I gave it a cursory look. And that one got Thaumcraft.I'm in.
what took you guys so long to make the thread?
>>558967363I used up the opportunity to pull an harmless prank on you guys.
>>558967419that wasn't very nice
Praised be projects such as PolyMCAnd fuck Microsoft.'nuff said.
>>558967943We have belts and automation macguffin'. We're part of the family.
>>558969140>free2pee momorpguatchas are adding factorioid elements nowHow long until Warframe adds this shit and Ced rises from the dead?
>>558965704stealth linux thread
>>558970393Yes of course! It's a linux thread!Haha.Nothing Gaga gugu related.Haha.
Killed first behemoth bitter, disapontibg, I thought he would be stronger.
>>558970559I'm afraid the combat mechanics in Factorio are kind of an afterthought.It's just a silly little ressource sink.
>First time Aquilo>knew already it wasn't like other planets, needed stuff on the ship>didn't know the ship couldn't survive in orbit, because of low solar energy>now I have to wait a slow death for my ship, which by the way didn't bring everything as it was a first time AquiloWTF?
>>558970692Bruh... Your nuclear powerplant?Your quality accumulators and/or solar panels?
>>558970640what about asteroids
>>558970692you should have check the factorypedia
>>558970640what is an afterthought
>>558969594>Warframe adds factorioid elements>it's 3 missions with a mix of Hijack and Defection objectives>conveyors that only work while you're nearby, powered by shields>sub-objectives that get attacked by dedicated saboteur groups>each destroyed sub-objective needs to be repaired, otherwise mission progress slows down>breaking all 4 of them stops progression>repair packs rarely drop from the enemies>central hub needs protecting too>hub getting rekt is instant mission failureThat'll be 10e63 plat, plus forma.I'm genuinely scared what they'd do if they ever get it into their drunk canuck head to do it for a quick beer money grab.Thank fuck Steverino is now out of the picture, that bald cunt is liable to do anything on a fucking whim.Grineer factory aesthetic goes hard, however. Corpus is close behind, but in a less grimey and more "perfectionist modern design" way.
>>558971206Everything about the biters, asteroids, and the weapon system in general.It's been designed to be optional, low in computational usage, and as frictionless for the player as possible.
>>558971063Just do your physical damage researches before taking off, and you'll do just fine.
>>558970559>>558970640How would (You) improve factorio's combat then
>>558970640Is early game combat supposed to be driving in circles around a spawner for five minutes while I unload bullets from my car's machine gun?
This is terrible. HOW?!
>>558974421yeah
>>558974421no you walk up and blow them up with grenadesor you place down 30 turrets and put a tiny amount of ammo in all of themit is still pretty retarded and basically just a boring chorethen you set up walls and flamethrowers and never worry about them again
anons, let's say i have an item that takes 2 ingredients. if i put one ingredient that is normal, and one that is rare, how is the result quality calculated? does it take the lowest quality (normal), or is there some sort of weight applied? i
>>558974421You could also use bots, or grenades, to speed up the process.Later on, with the tank, just running over the nests is an option too.
>>558974546What's the issue here, sweaty?
>>558976390That setup barely gives a trickle of epic tungsten
>>558975903you can't mix quality inputs
>kidney machineWe're so back.Can you believe my AAA game is now at the level of pre-alpha factorio?!
>>558976812thanks, so it'll get treated as if every input was normal then?
Hey guys how was the stream?
no fucking way we are waiting 66+ days for 1 fucking subzone, what the fuck is this dogshit story rythmn
>>558977120We have sewage liquid now.This is earth-shattering. /s
>>558977120(also, loli playable characters)>>558977151With a bit of luck, they'll speed up that rythm.There's only one banner on that release. Which might hint at another content patch two week after this one.Or not...
>>558977398well yvonne banner last till 12 march and we arent getting shit till 29 of march, so even if its 2 banners, it doesnt mean we are getting an update right after, also, talking about this, almost 20 days of literally no banner, what the fuck are they even thinking
>>558976859no, if you set the recipe to uncommon you need uncommon inputs
>>558976608well yeah, that's not how you should do it
>>558977669I think they mixed up Rossi's date.She'll start right after Yvonne. And end right before Tang2
>>558977736okay, but i mean that in a roulette sense. i don't know, maybe i understand this wrong:>put down building, set it to recipe X>fill it with quality modules>with only normal ingredients, chance of rare item is Y%>with one normal, and one rare ingredient, chance of rare item is ???%that's what i mean
>>558977894it says ''available march 29 2026 at 12pm'' and for tang says available after [story name update] release at 29 march 2026 at 11:59 am''doesnt make much sense this implies that both are available with 1 min of difference between each other
>>558977894they didn't mix up the date you just can't read esl-kunand it is tangtang then rossi>>558978159if the recipe is set to normal you can only use normal inputsif the recipe is set to uncommon you can only use uncommon inputsyou can never use mixed quality inputs
>>558978417okay thanks anon, appreciate it
>>558976823>>558977223Seems okay to me.They have to start slow. It's the gacha audience they are trying to string along here, after all...And they hinted at another batch of AIC-related feature in the next update, anyway.What I'm really curious about is how that new crap pans out in the open-ish world.I hope it's not just gonna end up as a few consumable items...The sewage thingy is clearly not meant to be a useful item, just a byproduct waste which needs to be neutralized.So I guess the kidney machine will be the only one to provide with something useful.(?)
>>558978417>>558978410Oh okay. I got it :Tang-Tang : from the update release (circa 13 March) until the 29th.Rossi : from the 29th until ?? (whatever date the 1.2 release)Makes sense now.
>>558978417why would they word it like that tho, its dumb and confusing
>>558974546put some lamps on the ground nigga
>>558979302it isn't confusing at all and the "start-end" format they used is incredibly common for intervals
>>558979737>uses the word available>1st banner implies the end date but not the start date, but the 2nd banner implies the start date but not the end date>isnt confusing
>subterranean liquid ductNAOOOOOW!!!! YOU MANIACS. YOU BLEW IT UP. DAMN YOU. GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL.I wanted to turn the map into an industrial hellscape.I cannot condone those... elvish... contraptions.
>>558965704
>>558981464Your miserable general stayed dead for roughly 10 hours.Take better care of it, next time.
>>558982158Your concept of care is warped. Your ideals fall apart with a stiff breeze. Your joke falls flat. Only you remain, and that joke wasn't fun in the first place.
>>558982380m'kay...
I fucking hate /g/
>>558983203The advertisment & soft propaganda board?It is terrible, yes. Fucking chinkshills everywhere.
i really liked this one
well it works, but the naphtha output is not high enough for me
>>558984417
>Try to restart a Minecraft world>can't get into it>exit>Try out DSP>can't get into it>exit>masturbate>still no motivationowari da?
nah you're just fucking retarded but that was easy enough to spot by how you blogpost about your life in the engineering thread and use buzzwords
>>558990903Really cool .webm
>>558990573Your peers are playing Roblox.
>>558991915I know you are right.But I'm too much of a coward to admit it to myself.I think I'll just restart DSP, and pretend to be happy.
>>558992449Cease the sadposting or be banished to VRChat.
>>558965704Man i wish I had three days off to build in stormworks working 77 hours this week
>>558970869I'm supposed to make a nuclear powerplant just to go to Aquilo? Honest question. It wouldn't be self sustainable then.>Your quality accumulators and/or solar panelsI suppose I could add accumulators, yes. God, I so do not like the quality thing.
>>558996382>It wouldn't be self sustainable then.So? It can just swing by Nauvis to pick up a rocket of nuclear fuel whenever it's low
oh no
>>559002321wrong thread?
>>559002381Exapunks is right there in the OP
>>559002479Oh, I've never played it, didn't know that was exapunks.
>>558970640It's not an afterthought, it's not the focus of the game, biters are meant to be a pressure to be put onto the player, and eventually solved and automated.
>>558970640Biters compliment industry in a very well managed and thoughtful manner. The more you pollute and expand, the more they hit back. It's not a resource sink, it's a stress test for your factory to make sure you don't get bored just building for the sake of building. I never had problems with biters overall.
>>558990573I diagnose burnout, and prescribe a month of chore simulatorsConsume Star Trucker and Wurm, with sporadic roguelike deckbuilder of your choice
>>558983203Every board I visit has an unwanted /g/ schizophrenic export that for some reason has taken an interest in camping out in the threads I want to post in. /ic/? /g/-schizos/vg/? /g/-schizos/vst/? /g/-schizos/a/? you'll never guess, it's /g/-schizosthe entire site having to adapt to some weird spyware called spur due to proxy spammers? /g/-schizosit truly is the cultural victory board when it comes to spreading the mentally ill, or dare I say, a FACTORY
>>559003671Uh? Thanks doctor? (Do you even have any diploma?)Guess I'll pirate Star Trucker now.
>>558983905Maybe you'll get some interaction on the thread if you let us know what's going on in those gifs. I don't understand what's happening.
>>559005219unfortunately the gif generator doesn't include the code being executed so it's impossible to understanda real oversight from zach
I've been enjoying Satisfactory quite a bit.
>>558984729>power generation incorporated into refineryis it ever worth it? Usually by the time you need lots of naphtha you don't need to flare "waste" products any more
anything interesting to be found in the next fest?this one looks like a svg, havent gotten around to playing it yethttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3904850this one looks visually like a mix between foundry and DSP?https://store.steampowered.com/app/2779120this one seems similarhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3427850anyone found something interesting? it seems a lot of devs want to make factory clicker/idle games now
>>558990903>mixed 1-3, 2-1, 1-3-1 trainsNice forced spaget, Dosh.
>>559009963>Steam slop fest>tons of demos that aren't even worth the effort to look at>the actual good games have "coming soon" or "TBA" as their release dates>when they do come out they release in a barebones state, missing basic QoL games 30 years ago had, and will sit in EA for 5+ years and any and all critism is met with "bro it's EA let them cook"Don't even bother with that shit anymore.
>>559009626it would be worth it if i could keep my refinery running at all times
>>559009541>putting coal power in the turbofuel craterreally anon?
Mmmmm, biter jelly.
>>559012182I'm still new to the game, there's plenty of space for oil which I will set up eventually. Power was more critical and that seemed like a good spot for it.
>>559009963i haven't looked yethonestly it takes too long to go through the list and all of it is aiand even if I download mulitple demos i don't get to half of themand people pull the demo afterwards so I can't even do it laterkinda over the whole thingi played modulus 2 nextfests ago and it was ok, but I didn't like the ui/ux for some of the building and I didn't think it had sauceseemed more to focus on the weekly puzzle 3 histogram leaderboard than factory gameplay
>>558966057gtnh is shit actuallygo play a different greg pack like nomi CEU or some other derivativeit will still be plugging in ae2 recipe cards for three hundred hours
>>558974421use the shotgun for nests once the first set of biters and worms are cleared out
>>559010206not himyou need to stop fellating the man
>>558981464phos is trying her hardest don't yell at her (it will get everyone she knows killed)
>>559013342can I offer you an egg in these trying times
>>559013779I'm not comfortable eating that specific egg.
> Playing Pyanodon's> Getting into proper power generation> Scoff initially at biomass power> By sheer freak accident notice that 1 kicalk converts to 70, (SEVENTY!!) biomass> "Double-Uu-Tee-Fucking-Eff !!"> Run the numbers> Pic relatedHoly shit. 492 MW of 'forever power' at what is probably a footprint equivalent to getting raw coal into coke.Nice.
>>558977852How about NOW bitch?
>>559016060it's better if you do it with foundries
>>558996382Yes? Space science is how you unlock Kovarex. That's the devs hinting that you should be using nuclear in space. If you hate quality then solar is even worse because of how much room it takes.
>>559016058they have nerfed biomass power i think four times in a row now?it's still the best option everywhere beyond, i want to say logi science? by like an order of magnitude. whenever you get kicalk 2or you can just do it off wood and have it be very slightly worse but even less demanding
>>559009963>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3904850>Mirroring not supportedPass. That killed starbase for me.
>>559016058You know what also converts to biomass that you literally void as a byproductblood
>>559018849i feel like by the time biomass really kicks into bullshit nonsense mode you wanna turn your overflow blood into urea
>>559019410While that's true, that's only by py2.There's also a point to be made for meat -> cyanic (is it meat to cyanic acid? I forget.), where meat is your second biggest common export as wellpersonally I like getting both the moondrop and the waterless moss >>550225150 to do a silly thing for ridiculous amounts of power, but wood/kicalk work too. It's crazy just how much they tried no nerf biomass, but all the other options suck balls.
>>559016058interesting, you need 33 kicalk plantations to get 32 biomass15 moss per second made out of water and farts recycles into twice as muchMy main issue in this case though would be the ups overhead of having 180 moss farms with 180 mechanical inserters for every 15 moss per second
>>558983905It's true by the way. They're all clones.
>>559022827if only someone would clone mootpicrelated (last main campaign level) took me forever
BEANS
>>559010206Don't give me too much credit, that webm was one of the inspirations for my current run.
>>559009541so you're telling me that you find the experience to be quite satisfactory?
i have entered the death spiral
>>559038817Bro thought he could skimp on maintenance
>>559038970my diggers are not filling the smelters fast enough
>>559041295what the fuckyou can't call them that
>>559043175i say what i want, digga
This might be something. Damage system could use some work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc6rN0HiH90
>>559018447As opposed to all the other problems, which just killed Starbase
>>559045462The building ships part was actually fun. There's a ton of stuff starbase did that other ship building games don't come close to.The real issue was them trying to make it a fucking MMO and all the desync buggy garbage that came from that. I remember we had to bolt a chair down on top of our ship to stop one guy from lagging off into the void while we went on our trip to the moon area.
>>559044938Hadn't heard about this before but I'm tentatively excited. Looks like an improvement on Stormworks, depending on how sophisticated the physics and control systems are
Anyone who did a Gleba-only run (all two of you) ever actually need solar panels? Fucking accumulators seem like overkill at this point considering the heat buffering in heating towers
>>559046190Indeed the ship building in starbase was excellent up to a point. They lost me when they refused to fix their retarded sub-object physics and didn't even see it as a problem.>primary structural component of ships is the metal girders>if you try to make a sub-object eg: a door out of metal girders it doesn't work because girders are not structurally sound anymore. What they really want you to do is make the "skin" of the door the primary structure. >point out to the devs that this is retarded, inconsistent, unintuitive and shit for ship building.>they don't even acknowledge that it's a problem.Fuck em.
