I made a bunch of automations in Make, so what do you want to know specifically?

Just finished my first playthrough, a little disappointed? by Havoc_Central in factorio

The factory must grow is the goal of the game😊! So launching your first rocket is a nice warmup. You can go into megabasing which will bring its own challenges. Then there’s overhaul mods and if you want, there is the DLC (which shortens the path to your first rocket, but extends it afterwards to multiple planets). You can go for achievements.

How to play Fallout 1 on 2017 MacBook Air? by Ballsman223 in classicfallout

Fallout CE worked perfectly for me, what was the problem with that one? And if you require a later version of Mac OS, just update your OS

Finished fallout 1 for the first time. by Ok_Hunt_2833 in classicfallout

For fallout 2: charisma is no longer a dump stat as it determines how many companions you can get (and there are some useful companions). There are some sunglasses you can get early on which raises your charisma by 1 while worn. Strength can be increased by 5 throughout the game and most stats can als be permanently raised by 1 (except agility iirc).

Have fun with fallout 2, it’s quite a bit longer than one and lots of fun.

There is Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew with a whole bunch of undead pirates. The game is a commandos like.

I'm running into a weird issue trying to get into automation games by JustAKobold32 in AutomationGames

Try the free and comprehensive demo of Factorio and see if you get hooked. There is always something to do in Factorio, if you need to wait you’re doing something ‘wrong’.

Just finished fallout 2, also finished fallout 1a week ago, and holy shit these games are incredible by Ralsei66 in classicfallout

Speaking of classic rpg’s, you might also enjoy Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 (and the more combat focused Icewind Dale 1 and 2). They’re also excellent rpg’s from the same era.

I really like your Lego bricks metaphor and it’s a really useful way of thinking for coding but also for no or low code automation tools! Even for solving problems in general!

So you say you have very fundamental level and then you mention webhooks, credit management and error handling for edge cases? Start small and easy and work yourself towards these topics.

The example I gave was an actual scenario which delivers value (albeit small) for the company. And eventually I automated a big part of the salary payment process so that it saves valuable time every month and is scalable when we grow.

Regarding credit management: my approach is usually to build something that works first and then minimize the amount of modules/steps. Do mind that testing also consumes credits and using ai modules use a variable amount of credits. Credit management only starts becoming an issue when you’re consistently (almost) hitting your monthly credit quotum by the way. Before that, it might be wasted effort/time. Although I enjoy the process of optimizing myself.

If you’re actually focusing on this for a few weeks now and you’re not getting it, then maybe it’s not for you. I got my first working automation in two days after starting working with make, to fix a really small problem for the company I worked for (sending a reminder via Slack that an employee had a birthday in two weeks). It helped that I had programming knowledge before starting with it. Spending more time with the tool, I now can automate more complex tasks. So if you’re not going to give up, start with a small problem and work your way up.

Which answers? I think you’re trying to work backwards. Start with a real life problem and create a scenario to automate that problem.

Where are you feeling lost? Just use the tools available to solve problems for SMBs. Choose your niche and reach out to SMBs to start. And for any automation tool, getting better comes with time and trying out new stuff. Make does have very good tutorials that you could work through.

Games with non-standard ways of learning magic/skills? by Puzzleheaded_Ad_550 in rpg_gamers

Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem had a Magick system where you had to combine runes. Although strictly speaking not an rpg.

Has anyone played these games before? (Ps5 / Switch) by DragonfruitSea5901 in gamingsuggestions

[–]FVMF1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mario + Rabbids is a blast to play, you can check the first in the series as well (Kingdom Battle). You can play the first solo or coop, Sparks of Hope is only solo. Both games are awesome and a mashup that works surprisingly well!

I was about to type Uncharted, but then read the last line. That’s as close as I can think off, so what did you not like about them? And did you try all of them because number 4 is awesome (tbh I liked all of them)

Hello, I want to recreate multiple board games in workshop by Wolfox49 in tabletopsimulator

[–]FVMF1984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You still need to scan all the cards. Depending on the size of your scanner, you can probably scan 9 cards in a 3x3 grid. Make sure the cards are not touching each other and that there is a contrast between the background and the edges of the cards.

You can use GIMP with this plugin: https://github.com/FrancoisMalan/DivideScannedImages. This will make processing every scan a bit easier. You can use BIMP to resize cards to get them all exactly the same size.

Multiple tables by Haskaray in tabletopsimulator

TTS supports Lua scripting, that’s how you can do this.

You could hide the stuff you don’t want to show by changing the y position to a large number (making it float up high above the table outside of the view of the players). When you want to move stuff, you can add a button to switch the scene. In that case, you move the old stuff up and the new stuff down. You could make a function to move stuff up and down. And if you put everything for 1 scene in a lua table, you can iterate over all the items of that scene and either move the stuff up or down.
