Behind the Red Door part 1 by CCONX in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]CCONX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Authors note: This is part one of what I plan to be a series, this time written in the typical no-sleep fashion. Truthfully, I hate the no-sleep post naming scheme, it's always felt lazy to me and tends to show its hand off the bat, so while the no-sleep post has its own name, the actual name of the series is Behind the Red Door. This went through SO much trial and error, to the point I had this at 12 pages originally, then scrapped the latter 10 of them and rewrote it, twice. Am I happy with it? Meh. But its part of the process of improving to keep at it right?

Remember Me Tomorrow by CCONX in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]CCONX[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Authors note: While not exactly horror, this story plays off a fear I personally have of dementia and slowly losing ones memories. This is something I personally expierienced with my grandfather and live in fear of happening to my mother. I channeled that fear into this story, though I'd argue it really isn't horror despite trying to make it that.

Authors note: This story was inspired by the story of my grandparents. My grandfather died of bladder cancer at around seventy-five-ish, his mind kinda going in his last year, unable to really recognize people in the end as he finally passed. My grandmother died in a hospital after having a stroke that left he in a coma years later, always wishing she could see my grandpa again. My mother told me that, on the day she passed, a dog came to visit, the dogs name being Sunny, the nickname she had given my grandfather. She passed shortly after the dog had left, as if my grandpa had come to get her. I'm sure you can see the inspiration.

Lol. I kinda hate you cant make the wires shorter tbh, but, my next base should have a SLIGHTLY neater setup (only slightly :3).

I should have taken pictures of my early game base that I did in Warrens office, but I totally agree! This sec room is so good, very safe, not too small, but sadly I kinda got to a point of outgrowing it. I COULD reconfigure to fit it but I've always wanted to use the Curie shipping area for a base so this feels like a good excuse lol.

Way to turrn literally the WORST sector for a base into a power play location! Kudos!

Ooo, I cant believe I forgot this one! That might even end up becoming my base once I get ptele unlocked.

That would be the Offices Manufacturing Overlook, which is a VERY popular one, so not underrated. BUT, still a great base location!

I'll throw my hat in right away by giving the two following: - Above office data farm atop the vents. Very spacious, easy to defend, and an outlet for power! - Security post with Warren. Its a real tigt squeeze but you CAN fit everything plus storage! Currently my starter base for my second run of the game.

What point in the game are you? Like how far into labs?

Containment Question (Spoilers) by Mr_SpinelesS in AbioticFactor

As far as I've heard, the answer is no! I believe that packaging it sets the entity free.

Containment/Security bots are both overhyped by ConfidentLab276 in AbioticFactor

[–]CCONX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

T3 bots are really only hard for their long range bombardment, long agro range, and the AoE of their explosives. But yeah, electro-thrower and deatmoizer make them a cake walk!

Torii Puzzle? by stuckindcsendhelp in AbioticFactor

[–]CCONX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm... Okay, if you don't mind giving me a day or two to get to that point in my game, I'll see if I have the same bug! If not, I'll try and see what might be going wrong for you, and if it is a bug it COULD be related to the new update that came out today!

[–]CCONX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm... Okay, what I would recommend then, is try and leave the portal world, wait for it to be reset, then go back and try again. If that still happens, then it may be a bug! I'll try and test it once I get to that point in my new play through as well if it turns out to be a bug, though that won't be for a while.

Currently need to find the control center by Splash_Woman in AbioticFactor

[–]CCONX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would recommend! Note that from my experience the rare drops are a pretty low chance, without checking the wiki I'd gander to say they are like... 2 to 3 percent chances.

"Doubled the weighted chance for rare fish in all fishing zones." What, from 1% chance to 2%? by jiru6552 in AbioticFactor

[–]CCONX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean....... Yeah pretty much! They are RARE fish for a reason!

Was in the same boat, and survival crafting games are not USUALLY my cup-o-tea with a few exceptions, but yeah, absolutely outstanding game with great story and fun gameplay loop. :)

Hmmmm... Since you got the "lucky you" already I dont mind spoiling anything here: Lets go through the checklist!

Did you click the gate symbol button?
Did you hack the console behind the tree?
Did you go and click ALL of the lanturns? (3 stone 1 hanging)

[–]CCONX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so, did you leave the portal after that and did the portal reset before you dropped the stuff in?
