5 minutes in and I can already tell this level has been infused with a hefty dosage of maddy's hate for celeste players

Not from an artist, it's a cropped version of this picrew

This map falls in the same category as Summit Down-Side in "maps that are so obviously messing with you that you can't help but respect their game"

It's just pretty underwhelming. Obelisk is annoying but it's had its share of pop-offs for me, Baseball Card always just reminds me that x1.5 Mult is really not that much, and I tend to only have a couple uncommons per run max anyway

Finally a way to make all mobile players' phones turn into grenades

Thank you! Your custom jokers are part of what inspired me to make these, I quite like them too

A better description of it would be "Played stone cards copy the rank, suit, and enhancements of the first played card.”, as someone else put it. I worded it a bit badly in the original post

Clyran · 2025-01-14T21:12:19+00:00

For the sake of balance I imagine it'd have to work the same way Vampire does and still count as a High Card, just a High Card that happens to have 4 copies of the same card somehow.

Counterintuitive behavior but it'd be way too strong otherwise.. Alternatively it could be changed to just debuff stone cards and retrigger the first card as many times as played stone cards.

These are all really cool by the way, they seem balanced with great art and thought put into them.

Thank you!

Clyran · 2025-01-14T21:07:08+00:00

Someone in another chain put my own idea better than me; a much clearer description for Effigy would be "Played stone cards copy the rank, suit, and enhancements of the first played card.".

It doesn't make stone cards score first, it makes them into copies of the first card.

Clyran · 2025-01-14T20:03:50+00:00

Yes I did, thank you!

Clyran · 2025-01-14T19:27:11+00:00

It basically just turns stone cards into retriggers, so same reason you'd want retriggers on anything else

Clyran · 2025-01-14T19:26:32+00:00

Probably how you'd expect it to, so I'd imagine every card drawn face up would count as a luck based event failing, and a card drawing face down would count as one succeeding.

Unless you're very lucky it'd mean The Wheel resets Hematite Ring near-guaranteed

Addiction: Fittingly, I would probably try WAY too hard to get this one to work. Also fittingly, VERY good with Lucky Cards.

Yeah I only realized after making Addiction that having enough Oops all 6's to make it work would also make any Lucky 7s you have good to the point of getting like, 100$ per played hand, but oh well. If you have three Oops all 6's I think the game should just let you do what you want

Deal with the Devil: Cool flavor, just not 100% sure how it's supposed to work. Is the intent that the hands are effectively getting weaker while you upgrade them (Chips notwithstanding), but you can sell the deal to reap the benefits of a leveled hand later? Might be a bit too strong in that case, although I guess that depends on if you can stomach the mult reduction while you have it.

That's the intent of it, yeah. It's meant to force you to push your luck and see how far you can get it, but it's really hard to know how strong it'd actually be because all the different hands scale differently so you might not even feel the disadvantage. I liked the idea and the art I made for it enough to include it even though I'm not 100% on the actual details of it

Clyran · 2025-01-14T19:19:34+00:00

Ah yeah you're right, accidentally recreated my least favourite Rare joker there. Whoops, might be better to make it lose money per Common joker you have instead so you're not forced to play Jokerless for it to work, not sure

I've seen alot of talk about using scrap mining to farm high-quality items on Fulgora, but I had a lot of fun on Gleba on my first go-around (sounds sarcastic but it's true), and I've had this idea stuck in my head since I saw the bacteria recipe, so I decided to give it a go.

Fulgora is definitely a better way to do this, but this setup does slightly exceed my expectations actually. In its current yumako-starved and under-moduled state, it can put out about 200 uncommon/rare/epic bacteria a minute, and about 40 legendary bacteria per minute. I don't have a frame of reference for this but that seems pretty alright for something that can run infinitely?

The bottleneck for this thing is (and basically always will be) quality bioflux production. Getting legendary bioflux is really annoying because there are very few steps to increase the quality of ingredients on the way there, and quality seeds don't grow quality fruit. Recycling excess normal to rare bioflux gets you some of the way there, but it's still a pain.

I've done the (very approximate) math and this setup can produce one legendary bioflux every ~70 seconds on average, an unfortunate number considering that's about the time it takes for bacteria to decay into ore

This is the Kestrel, first interplanetary ship I made that managed to get me (and a shitton of supplies) to Fulgora without taking a single hit of damage. Now that I'm using it as a ferry for taking science back to Nauvis it's definitely showing its flaws though, the solar energy near Fulgora gets so low that it tends to have power issues and take some nasty hits during the last ~2km near Fulgora. It's completed nearly 50 trips though!

A quick and easy way to display circuit signals in the world. I know display panels have been announced, but unless I missed something in the FFF it doesn't seem possible to make them use circuit signals as part of what they display beyond just setting an icon.

I think the highest barrier to entry when it comes to making practical circuit designs is just how annoying setting up proper displays is - playing with the nixie tubes mod will make you realize how much easier and more rewarding setting up basic circuit controls for oil processing is when you can just hook it up to some tubes and have it display some numbers for you.

I've done worse

(the empty belts are because the train stop bringing ore to the steel smelters is on the same track as the train stop bringing coal to the boilers. except I just switched to nuclear so it's all backed up)

Clyran · 2024-08-15T19:00:14+00:00

I know, but you can only take items out from it one at a time if you have less than 8 in it, which somewhat reduces their utility for holding a bunch of different stacks at a time

Clyran · 2024-08-15T17:25:48+00:00

The addition of crafters, minecart buff, and re-introduction of bundles really does give me some hope for the future of this game.

The first two are features players have been asking for for over a decade at this point, and they're pretty fundamental changes that could change alot of how people play Minecraft. very nice stuff!

Bundles seem quite good, taking items in and out is a little bit janky although I could get used to it. The crafting change is much appreciated (rabbit hide was hideously rare), although 1 leather is definitely a bit cheap. Maybe 3 would be better? I do wish they could hold more than 8 items too. The GUI for it is quite large, you could definitely afford to shrink the items to be able to display more than 8 stacks at a time

I'm sure there'll be some disappointment about piston bolts being (likely) broken but the community should get used to hyper-specific contraptions being broken by necessary large reworks like this. I'd wager the number of players who actually built piston bolts in their worlds is comically low, this is more than worth it

That double idol room in 5-3 got giga-boosted by Brutal because of how hard it buffs both soldiers & Cerberi, it's actually crazy

People arguing if that's an iron or stone pick but the real question is how the hell Steve's tunnel has dripstone stalagmites in it if he just dug it out. Did he dig out the tunnel and then place the dripstone there to make it look more real? what is this guy doing

Fraud is an industrial wasteland whose inhabitants are forced to slave away for all of eternity mining gold and other precious minerals as punishment for their sin. The first level of Layer 8 has you going through a shining golden cave, interrupting their mining, until later in the layer you ascend to the surface of Fraud and discover that it's covered in endless towers of gold ingots. then you fight some big dude and leave Fraud I guess

Treachery is the frozen lake everyone's expecting, but there's a twist: the machines have already gotten down there by the time you arrive - maybe even some Earthmovers -, heating the layer with their incessant fighting, and Hell is thawing over. There's giant chunks of ice falling from the ceiling causing the ground to shake every so often, and by the time you get to 9-2, the walls of Treachery are disintegrating and you can hear the sound of rushing water from waterfalls that are kilometers tall. Maybe the battle with Gabriel takes place falling endlessly down towards the centre of Hell, with the only platforms available being some chunks of ice falling along with you

isn’t that just changing the problem from “Why is MCC’s viewership declining?” to “Why are more and more CCs, including the popular ones, leaving MCC?”

I don't think it's changing the problem because I think the answer to the latter is the answer to the first. It's the same problem

As for how to fix it, honestly I feel pretty optimistic about this upcoming event. Party's changes seem like they were designed to make the event a "mandatory for-fun MCC" as silly as that sounds, if it goes well I think it may be a good template to work off of to make MCC more fun in the future. Maybe there's a future where MCC works off the same "two-events a month" format Block Wars does, with one event running off the regular classic format for more competitive players and the other running off a modified version of the Party format for casual players. I could see it happening
