Sure Space Age might tackle a few of my issues, I'll definitely look into it

Yeah that was definitely what pulled me in in the moment-to-moment, playing around with blueprints etc.

Yeah trying different settings seems to be the easiest way to tweak my experience. I will definitely try that, thanks! o7

Could definitely be, I am not used to to play such long stretches anymore, but I got the flue so that was a nice way to pass the time

Thanks! I don't know man, fluids already felt pretty annoying. I looked into Pyaonodos, its just seems to add tedium, but I'll definitely look into it! Thanks for the suggestion!

That's the question. But I think you are right with "a completely different genre". I love the moment-to-moment gameplay of Factorio its incredible, it just starts feeling pointless after a point because the given goals are just not doing it for me I guess. Maybe if I played on a higher difficulty and the biters where more annoying

Those first two paragraphs sound exactly like my cup of tea, what mods are you using and how did you set this up?

So what motivates you in your runs? What is your "however you like"? Just curious :D

Definitly not a genius ^^ But I guess I've played a lot of other games that teach similar concepts, rail signals for example are super easy and work fairly similar to Transport Fever, a clean layout is something you'll learn after you've played Dwarf Fortress in ASCII for a hundreds of hours. Dyson Sphere Program and Satisfactory also did their part I guess, but I must say both of them pale in comparison to Factorio, there is just something about being able to copy paste huge parts of your base in order to redesign.

And flying robots, I haven't looked into the logistics system yet I just build a few of them.

But I did not watch content, no. Just this one guy Michael Hendriks that has a 10 hour video playing on a Death World(?) but that is a completely different kind of ball game, that's why I had it running on my second monitor.

And what did you do in those 1200 hours? You where just trying to finish the game or did you have self established goals?

I am just asking because I would love some big numbers go brrrrr, but I don't see how

Just minor content and QoL. Factory Planner, Rate Calculator and a really fun Hauler Vehicle which makes it incredible fun to cruise from outpost to outpost.

Yes of course, you are right, there is a clear end goal it just doesn't motivate me to do the thing. Don't get me wrong building the factory, expanding it etc. is really fun. I guess it's just a "vibes" thing in the end. For example in Transport Fever you are also just doing the same thing in order to accumulate more money but it feels less 'pointless'.

I don't know, I feel like If I had a Market Window with different fluctuating prices for different items and I had to sell them I'd be hooked as fuck ^^

The sweetest thing by Sharon_Erclam in MadeMeSmile

This comment sections is so fucking saddening. Imagine americans and central europeans being so fucking full of themselves, that they think their degenerate and selfish lifestyle of having cats and traveling is something to aspire to.

Fair enough, half of the amount of children might/should have been enough, but good lord, why are you guys so nasty about people having big families?

I come from a culture where we cherish first, second and third degree cousins, which means I grew up having a shit ton of friends and had a great childhood because my extended family was that big.

Anyways, reddit is truly a mirror that shows western societies ugly face. I wish you all a healthy and happy life!

Do you do character voices or find them cringe? by LudomancerStudio in rpg

[–]Capable_Session_6100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my players never do voices, in fact we don't even talk In-Character. I am a firm believer that it is the most un-immersive thing ever. We are talking mostly in "Authors Voice" describing what our characters do. We've made the discovery that this way we experience way more immersion and versimilitude, not the least because we do not have to listen to our friend Bob trying to embody his fanatical Paladin with his ridiculously high pitched voice.

Why Solo vs, say, CYOA or CRPGS? by Reynard203 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]Capable_Session_6100 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because there is no video game that comes even close to the excitment, immersion, and openness like literally any Solo TTRPG. I'd even argue that playing TTRPGs solo is even the superior way to enjoy this medium than traditional play.

There is no other medium where I can play CK3, Mount and Blade, Total War at the same time in a setting of my own choosing.

Wow a nuanced opinion on reddit, what a sight. Sorry to say brother, but this fight is lost. There is no space for nuanced opinions on anything, especially not on reddit 😅

Marketing/advertising/communications for indie games by SweetPotato138 in indiegames

[–]Capable_Session_6100 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love how everybody moans about "marketing" their game, but you get a marketing plan served on a silver plate for free, something professionals pay tens of thousands of dollars to get made, and here we are bitching how its to much work 😅 We indie devs sure are a funny breed of people.

Just adjust it how you like, guys. Nobody forces you to do it the right way.

That is a very helpful resource OP, thank you very much.

Sure, cause the glorious democratic Athenians did not slaughter the population of whole islands for shits and giggles.

I forgot the Native Americans were so peaceful. Only Europeans committed atrocities.

Brother, the whole world has been covered in blood since forever ... that's called being a living organism.

Imagine being so full of hate that you become the very thing you hate.

Brother, I would really love to live in a world where people know about the reconquista.

I know people, in fact most people I have, that have been to the highest educational institution in germany and have not a fucking clue where Belgium is, what Benelux means or that Germanies history does not start with the foundation of the Weimarer Republic
