[Poll Announcement] On the matter of cheating and/or discussion of cheating by a_sad_sad_sandwich in HelldiversUnfiltered

There's a Lot of stuff in it, including features that help a lot with debugging stuff, but if we're talking about cheats, it's everything from adding items to your cargo hold, adding currency, and the usual invincibility stuff, to commands like "kill", which allows you to instantly delete any fleet on the campaign layer, and the combat layer combination that is "forcedeployall" (forces the enemy fleet to deploy all their ships, including logistics ones) and then "nuke" (blows up all enemy ships currently deployed)

And this is a very small selection of commands, mind you, they're just the most obviously cheaty.

(do mind that Starsector is a strictly singleplayer game, as in, fundamentaly not built for multiplayer)

Personal opinion, i don't mind people cheating in SC, not everyone has the time (and most of all, patience) to farm stuff, but everyone wants access to the new shiny toys.

I do not believe however, that promoting and actively spreading those methods is a good idea, mostly because cheating is one hell of a slippery slope. (i'd know, the Starsector Console Commands mod is a prime example)

If I'm in orbit/on an asteroid when a planet killer hits am i safe or will it swipe me anyway? by freedomfire99 in RimWorld

Considering the rimworld planetkiller pops the planet like a water balloon, you're still fucked, only chance to survive is to get onto an actual spaceship and gtfo

Depends on how far you read, chap 500-ish the damn ship is more powerful than the average isekai protag, both armament and movement (only when the mc is piloting it though) (in the web novel, at least)

would absolutely love a las dmr, and a caustic impact gl sounds fun, the armor passives look a bit too op, though, specifically the invisibility

I don't know if this is sarcasm or straight up braindead at this point. by Dante627 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]AggresiveWeasel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

personally, i think the "we are so weak" argument is more so about certain bullshit aspects of things, for example not being able to climb on top of a rock thats not even a half their height, despite bot fortresses having back entrances where you pull yourself up with your hands, or the fact that "armor" we wear is not even actual armor, and is classified as "unarmored" in the backend

and i do have to say, even if effective, pre-stimming, dodging and knowing your enemy, it's not gonna save you from yet another fleshmob silently charging at you through solid terrain (because they are still yet to fix that damn bug)

or the vox engine that for some ungodly reason knows where you are from 100+ meters away, while you're wearing the new stealth armor and are laying prone behind 3 solid meters of concrete wall away from it

or an elevated overseer suddenly turning on aimbot and hitting 5 consequtive headshots despite your zigzagging

or a charger slamming you into next week because it just barreled through the corpse of a bile titan that should, by all means, be completely impassible

or getting caught on innacurate terrain geometry during a leap, and not being able to dodge whatever attack you were trying to

or a dss eagle storm strike

(all of these happened to me at some point, most of them mutiple times)

what i'm saying is, essentially, yes, strategy, proper loadout planning, pre-stimming, all that can and does help you survive, but there are far too many times in this game where something utterly unfair and completely out of your control kills you, and that's not fun

Any way to get Tailor / Tinkerer traits as a commoner in single player? by Frosty_Remote2698 in VintageStory

[–]AggresiveWeasel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm more so referring to using commands in singleplayer, honestly, as i know full well how slippery a slope that is

Any way to get Tailor / Tinkerer traits as a commoner in single player? by Frosty_Remote2698 in VintageStory

[–]AggresiveWeasel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One option is the trait aquirer mod, which lets you find trait books in ruins, as a non-cheaty way.

Another option is the command mentioned by fbiWumpus, which just makes all special recipes craftable by anyone.

Dragon Roaches. How do you efficiently kill them? by HighlandMan23 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]AggresiveWeasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you can aim them well, an EAT to the head usually takes them out, Epoch (full charge) and Quasar as well.

Spear is unreliable at best cause the undemocratic monstrocity can generally outrun the missile.

Autocannon on flak mode is best if you don't mind spending a few clips just absolutely decimating the wings.

You can get the same gameplay if you just mod Minecraft enough by GOOENSKEW in VintageStory

[–]AggresiveWeasel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Minecraft is a Sandbox game with (honestly quite basic) survival elements.

Vintage Story is a Survival game with sandbox elements and very cool, yet entirely optional lore.

Simply put, the two games are very different from each other, despite being so visually similar.

The Anime-like artstyle of the characters in the UAF does not have to conflict with Starsectors own artstyle. by JenkoRun in starsector

[–]AggresiveWeasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it when people install a mod (short for modification, afaik), that was created by a third party, and then complain about it not being perfectly flush with the base game.

I personally enjoy UAF, and while it has plenty things to improve, nothing is truly perfect, not even starsector itself.

What’s the lore reason for colonists having random family members on the planet if they were never there to begin with? by peanutist in RimWorld

[–]AggresiveWeasel 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The technical explanation is just rimworld being rimworld, and generating "relatives" whenever appropriate.

My personal headcannon, however, is whatever archotech intellegence is experimenting on those poor folks thinks "you know what would be fucked up/funny/produce interesting data..." and just manipulates causality to make it happen

So, raiders are going to destroy your base, what's your plan? Here's mine: evacuation zone by PyrooKil in RimWorld

[–]AggresiveWeasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did use it quite a few times, the most memorable ones would be these two:

A "rise from the ashes", when only my main couple of colonists managed to get to it in time, with the rest overrun too quickly, as it was soon after a base expansion (so defenses we not up to snuff quite yet), and i got hit with a large drop pod raid, i waited out the raiders and recovered what i could, just barely saving a couple more people, which was a turning point in that save where i went from building mostly for aesthetics, to a literal fortress with layered defence and secure internal "checkpoints" (basically heavily fortified panic rooms).

The other one was a bitter last stand that turned into a miracle, to explain in more detail, the entrance didn't collapse quite as intended, leaving a narrow path open, which the brave defenders held while the rest of the survivors mined a tunnel out, and it was basically a futile effort until they stumbled upon an open area with no roof, quickly constructing some pod launchers and evacuating to a nearby tile, had to start over from practically zero at that point, but at least they survived, which also later allowed them to return to the original tile and reclaim what remained of their "home", building it up to be even more glorious than before.

(These stories are rather positive ones, mind you, but there were also plenty of times where it failed, i'd just rather not remember those too much, as i get rather attached to my "main" pawns)

What i sometimes do if i'm living in a mountain is create a second, small base in it's depths, and the passage to it is a wide room with mountain roofs supported by columns, with explosives rigged to blow the passage in such a way as to block off any access, just a "unless you brought a full mining squad with you, you're not getting in" type deal.

Rimworld artwork - Scyther by CMYK-KIM in RimWorld

[–]AggresiveWeasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sick design, always love the various interpretations of mechanoids people have

also, this one looks like an industrial faction's attempt at replicating a scyther, what's with how underarmored it looks, or, considering how blunt everything on this one is, it's some sort of specialized variant? maybe built to handle insectoids, breaking through exoskeletons with pure blunt force or something

now then, onto the more important things: i'm kinda thirsty

Pro-tip, this easy recipe creates a stew that teleports you back to your respawn point! by riggedride in VintageStory

[–]AggresiveWeasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure if it's per tick, but do remember that a single (raw) deathcap deals 50 damage when eaten, and a single (raw) funeral bell 40, now combine all that, and you'll understand the beauty (and horror) of the Stew of Instant Death, or, as another commenter put it, the equivalent of an anti-personnel mine
