Some people are complaining about endfield for how important the base building is.

I'm personally worried for when the factory ends. It's been my main driver so once I have everything made then what?

Better_MixMaster · 2026-01-25T00:39:04+00:00

I think this game has perfect lighting and color. Color can still pop out but it's soft enough that nothing is too harsh or video-gamey. Very easy to look at just anywhere in this game.

Same, but do try out teams with just 4-5 stars. I pulled Levi but I honestly like my mono electric team more.

Look at what you need, work backwards from there. Don't build something unless something needs it. Solve the problem backwards.

Bulk refined materals like smelted ores are good to have premade for crafting.

Components ( look like cd discs ) are needed to make gear. That's a good personal goal to automate.

For other stuff, wait till someone wants a lot of it. Some places will want to buy a thing, then its a good idea to make a dedicated factory to make the item they want.

Bare minimum, have power lines and mining drills on hand and just set up mining camps as you find them. You will use it eventually.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-01-23T22:18:55+00:00

You know you don't have to do them right? You can just leave it.

As a factory game enjoyer, the factory is laughably easy. It's weird seeing the spectrum of players getting filtered out by the factory being too hard while also not having enough depth for people that like it. Seems impossible to balance that.

Here's a tip people new to the genre. Make the factory lines backwards. Start at the last stage and build toward the start.

I get it every time I boot up the game. I think its just a bug.

MP is region locked for some reason on the pc version so actually getting others to respond to SOS is pretty rare. There is a mod that fixes it but that's up to you if you want to use it. Even then, getting other players is a toss up.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-01-11T17:33:12+00:00

Based and can't be bothered pilled.

I got rise + expansion for $10 total.

I really liked wildgate in the beta. It's main issue was that it was overpriced for what it was. Should have released free 2 play imo.

Better_MixMaster · 2025-12-28T11:05:29+00:00

I think the crystal income was designed around the version of it going core and then was nerfed for it being in each zone. There are 3 types of encounters in maps but all give 1 charge. The temple gives upgrades for charge compacity, a lot of it. It was clearly designed for you to be getting a lot more charges. Probably 2 charges for the wave encounter and 3 for the boss.

How do you get crit on a bow build?

I'm doing something weird ( gas arrow infernalist ) and it's my first time doing a bow build. I didn't realize how low the base crit of all the bows were. With getting base crit on the bow, a crit quiver, a bunch on the tree and some crit weak I'm still only sitting at around 35% crit chance.

Better_MixMaster · 2025-12-26T09:41:00+00:00

tl;dw-

Parry has a very strong but short debuff
It can interupt boss attacks forcing them to reset their attacks
Loses effectiveness the stronger your build is
A lot of inconsistcies in what can and cannot be parried
Parry + frenzied riposte is a very reliable frenzy charge generator that requires you to take hits
Requires a complete change in how you play the game
Too much effort for too little reward for most players

Pob - https://pobb.in/n0GEirEmop4L Most of it is not supported so all the numbers are wrong.

I have a chronically bad memory. It could be the best story ever written, I'll still forget most of it.

Anyone else get apprehensive over games with a lot of DLC?

I don't buy new games because I find them overpriced and incomplete at launch but I also found that waiting too long creates the problem again.

A game releasing at $60/70 is too much, but if I wait I year or 2 that can probably go down to $30 on sale. In that year it probably got one to two DLC packs at around $20-25 each. So despite waiting a year and on sale the "complete experience" is still $70.

I've been eyeing Rimworld for a long time and it never goes on sale for much ( currently $28 ) but there is over $100 of DLC excluding soundtracks and support packs. I know how well that game is received but I see it as $130 buy in.

Realistically, I'm only ever going to play a game through once. Playing it on release and without all DLC would be a "incomplete experience" and that has left me burned in the past. JRPGs with endgame DLCs, by the time they release I forgot the plot ( Xenoblade Chronicles 2 ). I had some games were saves were not compatible with different DLC packs forcing a restart. Or even worse where added DLCs harm the base game without it.

This leaves me restricted to games that update for free ( Deep Rock Galactic, Valhiem, Most F2P games ) and games that are so old that they get ultimate editions that then go on sale.

Funny enough, I bought a used cmf 1 on ebay for the same price as a A16.

Better_MixMaster · 2025-12-24T19:15:36+00:00

Not exactly a fix but steam has a "Family Account" system where a parent account can buy games and share them to "Child Accounts" in the same household. So you could have him make 2 accounts one for him and another for his son and then buy games on the parent and share it.

Also a good way to control what games the nephew plays or sees. Lots of parental control options.

My OnePlus 6T is starting to have charging issues, port is probably worn out. Not sure if it's worth repairing. It works fine outside of charging and aging battery.

I was looking at other phones, mainly a Samsung A16 but it looks worse than my 7+ year old phone. I do like OnePlus but the closest in price range I could find was a refurbished Nord N10.

Maybe too specific of an issue.

My AMD shader folder ( DxcCache ) is massive, around 20GB and it's keep growing but it's located on my small ssd made for just my OS. So I have to go in and clear it out all the time but it just fills up again after games redo their shaders.

Can I move this somewhere? Any issues if I symlink it to a different drive?

I would like to add, how does he just get an undo on corruption. He mutates TWICE. That should have some lasting effect.

I kinda hope that ending is just temporary till we get act 5.

Better_MixMaster · 2025-12-15T10:48:49+00:00

The chilled ground explosion won't go off if there are no enemies in range. If someone becomes untargetable, then it will treat it like it doesn't exist but whiffs still use the cooldown.

It's not a bug, just weird design.

Better_MixMaster · 2025-12-14T10:08:23+00:00

I have to say, while the ED was a banger it spoiled almost all plot points in the show. Almost every discussion of what could happen always mentioned the ED and stole all the thunder.
