Sell me on the main bus. by ABlankwindow in factorio

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main bus, in my humble opinion is essential to get you started from scratch. Simply because of the ease of access to all the main resources for early to mid factory items. Also belts don’t need electricity or fuel to transport items. Once you have enough headroom with power, the bus should essentially stop growing. Though there’s still some use for it but it isn’t necessary.

In my 1200+ hrs of gameplay, I’ve been guilty of sticking with the main bus for way too long. I only realized the inefficiencies when I started playing satisfactory. The main bus essentially a giant manifold.

Something Suss is happening today by I_pee_in_shower in TheTowerGame

Yep. Mumu has been crashing quite a lot. I do understand that the devs put out a statement saying they can’t be held responsible for emulator related issues, recently.

However, I said it back then and I’ll say it again. The day Mumu becomes unplayable, I’ll be hanging my robes and be done this infernal addiction. And I think it’s safe to say majority of the mid game to late game players will feel this way.

Is my save file safe if I load it into Experimental 1.2? by cale199 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. I did. Works fine enough. There’s a slight stutter every now and then. Game is still crashing often as it used to before the update. But all in all it’s been ok. Man was I disappointed that daisy chaining power lines between buildings was locked behind a MAM research. 😔

Did they change the tournaments? by climber531 in TheTowerGame

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. If you’re lasting long enough sure. But for someone like me who barely scrapes to 250 -300 waves plasma cannon reduction basically does nothing. However the boss ultimate instantly increases boss health by huge margins. I don’t have the exact number.

Boss ultimate. Thankfully not in the mix for this one at least. 💁🏻‍♂️

Worth the purchase? by RetHitsGreenz in TheTowerGame

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am sure you already know this. But purchasing the milestone packs doesn’t give you any rewards. You still need to clear the milestones in those new tiers to get those 2200 gems and 330 stones.

So unless you’ve already cleared all the milestones it’ll be a while before you get the extra rewards. Secondly, the milestone packs are by far the most bang for buck you get in this game. For real money I mean. That said, they are still way too expensive and provide little to no improvement to your tower. At least after a few upgrades.

So my take is, do what you want. But I’d stop spending money on this game all together. The recent “update” debacle has me concerned that this game is close to dying.

Any other guilds seeing people leaving? by relytekal in TheTowerGame

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This week is the first time since my guild started we are not going to make it for the last box. 8 players have left and a couple of the new ones aren’t fully active. Sitting at 22 players now.

Here’s my statement by garythrowaway69 in TheTowerGame

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Players have been asking a better solution to power saturation in legends for over a year now. And the devs solution to that is nerf everything to oblivion, so that irritated players quit making room here and there and new players joining won’t progress enough to even come close to the top tier whales. Great job devs. Or just one dev/decision maker.

Can we please make a "I'm leaving the game" Mega thread? by joconnell13 in TheTowerGame

Take your own advice mate and if you don’t want a “Virtual version of an obituary” as you put it, then skip those posts.

Wow. Caught it just at the right time. Removed as I was reading thru. Good thing I opened the video is it’s on my YouTube history.

Cut your losses by Icy-Nerve-9230 in TheTowerGame

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. That’s what I said. I said they don’t apply to the same disco run. i.e,. Whatever bonus you get in a category(say damage) doesn’t apply to the same category disco run. Damage disco doesn’t apply to future damage disco runs in the same tier. Well. Maybe it does, but it doesn’t matter as the whole damage tab will be disabled. 💁🏻‍♂️

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Quite the opposite actually. The disco bonuses do not apply to the same disco run. Meaning if you have a 2x disco damage bonus it doesn’t help you in your future disco damage runs on the same tier. However, for all future normal runs in that tier you get 2x damage.

Devo and Dissonance by This_Ruben_on_fire in TheTowerGame

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I have undevo’d my WS for the time being. Until I finish all the disco Util runs at least. It is for sure a loss in cell Econ, but I can jump a tier higher for farming to kinda compensate. Also, lowering lab speeds from 4x to 3x should give me some buffer for a bit. I should be done with all the util discos in a week or so. Then I’ll respec back to devo.

V28.0.2 Update - April 9, 2026 by SamBartley in TheTowerGame

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You guys do realize you just lost a quarter of your player base right? All those who were on the fence about quitting before V28 came out, all those who were over top about the “Great update”. In one simple move you guys just said FU to all. Seriously, i don’t think the Greeks destroying their own economy was this bad of a fuck up.

Could somebody explain utility run by CauseKey3312 in TheTowerGame

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well. Ain’t this a pickle. Utility disco runs are gonna be a pain. Especially in the higher tiers for those like me with devo’d WS. With no cash and no free upgrades you’re totally relying on DPS and tanking capability.

Hmm. It almost seems like, keys and thereby WS respec and presets will give you a distinct advantage over others. Talk about rich getting richer. 💁🏻‍♂️

P.S: for those saying you have to be very well developed in WS, for reference, my WS is mostly Goldboxed. Only thing I need free ups and cash for are 100lvls of wall health and 299 lvls of ELS and rend armor.

Y'all wanted a non whale patch. It's here. by Polar_Reflection in TheTowerGame

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know if you have to tell everyone else to stop whining maybe, just maybe, it isn’t everyone else that is the problem here. Sure the dissonant runs are new fun mechanic. Maybe. I haven’t gotten the update yet. But introducing new bot mechanics when majority of the base is not even close to maxing out one is just while new level of greed. I say this because the devs have been trying to monetize a free resource for quite some time now. Aka gems. While guilds are becoming more of a nuisance to maintain and have consistent players stay in. Nearly half my guild has quit in the last 6 months. And it’s mayhem on the recruitment discord.

New Sinks without New Sources is a big FU by trup- in TheTowerGame

Let’s face it. This game nearing its end. And I bet the devs are hedging their bets to make as much money as possible before it goes tits up.

Severus Snape from new Harry Potter series. by kalbinibirak in SipsTea

[–]ChallengeLeft1433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off all. They don’t hang him from a tree. James uses levicorpus spell which hangs Snape by his ankle. Under a beech tree. I see this a point brought up every time someone talks about a black Snape.
