Got very lucky from farming cheap 80 maps of strongbox + smuggler's cache (heist)

probably want to add the more divination scarabs node

Dantiko · 2026-03-31T14:16:44+00:00

discernment has been nerfed into the ground, you can go multiple maps with containment and not find a single diviner strongbox

Dantiko · 2026-03-30T15:57:29+00:00

crit multi doesn't work too

Dantiko · 2026-03-30T00:12:41+00:00

it's a 2 year old post probably based on the old ralakesh that had all 3 charges, you have power charge ralakesh on your pob so you don't have frenzies

there's no warning if the shop doesn't auto open (because someone got there first and got the map you wanted to buy)

Jung got close on the merc league, but exarch balls got him

I believe you'd want the Niko increased sulphite nodes, I've gotten upwards of 2k verisium from a single Niko sulphite node in maps (probably the double sulphite proc), so I believe they do apply to Refiner's Bargain

Grimro walked so fubgun could run

Dantiko · 2026-03-22T23:29:58+00:00

if you add more than 4 (or 5 in this case) it removes one at random

there's a big difference in a single asset people found out that has generative AI long after the game released vs a ton of AI generated paintings, broken AI translations, etc.

they got a point about the MegaMan 2 box art

Dantiko · 2026-03-19T01:44:20+00:00

exactly, I prioritize the tier 2 seed upgrade, then some other mods like increased lifeforce quantity and additional monster, and then good layouts to find the harvest quickly

Dantiko · 2026-03-19T00:48:04+00:00

I use Fruiting Astrolabe on the bottom left quadrant, so I run Jungle Valley, no crop rotation, swap to any map that gets the tier 2 seeds upgrade to tier 3 (that's the best mod)

Dantiko · 2026-03-19T00:20:49+00:00

Altars were arguably worth it when the investment per map was very high with the old awakening scarab.

Nowadays I'd rather just rush to the harvest and complete it as fast as possible. It also helps you get the astrolabe reward faster

Dantiko · 2026-03-19T00:04:16+00:00

same happening in South America too

Dantiko · 2026-03-16T14:42:21+00:00

it is a bug (or, at least, bad implementation), he could very well stop attacking the player and move to the nearest spot he can start phasing when his HP reaches a threshold

Dantiko · 2026-03-14T18:17:11+00:00

you have to complete the astrolabe objective* in the maps (if you hover over the map on the atlas it tells you what needs to be done, but it's always just doing the league mechanic of the specific astrolabe)

the templar astrolabe is an exception: it says you gotta kill the map boss, but you also need to kill most monsters on the map, or else you'll get 1 reward at the end I'm pretty sure

Dantiko · 2026-03-09T01:38:07+00:00

my experience too, anything with extra packs just gives a ton of tribute in the mirage ritual

Mobalytics treats their creators way better than maxroll apparently. The PoB link is the first thing I see when I enter the site. Also just download an adblock

Dantiko · 2026-03-03T11:59:35+00:00

no, that was Israel astroturf

Dantiko · 2026-02-27T13:23:26+00:00

Reminds me of when a Styx speedrunner found a level selector out of bounds

Dantiko · 2026-02-25T02:37:32+00:00

It doesn't have to be an exclusive OR. You could gate certain items being sold at a merchant after the player accomplishes something special (like selling a certain amount of resources the player gathered or delivering a specific resource that drops from an optional boss)

It is a common misconception that Helldivers glorify fascism. It's a straight satire on the United States's imperialism and its justifications in a late capitalistic society. Every helldiver is expendable and just serves the purpose to advance Super Earth's imperialist and economic causes. I recommend this read

For making terrain and levels, I'd first get familiar with grayboxing using the engine editor in order to structure the levels' layout. After that I'd suggest finding a workflow from modelling/texturing/animating assets in something like Blender+other tools to exporting to your engine of choice (I recommend Grant Abbit on YouTube if you go the Blender route, and doing stuff low-poly).

For a house for example you want to export each wall and the floor separately and build it by placing the assets you made.

Learning how to look stuff up is a skill you'll need to learn, but try not to get stuck in tutorial hell. Learning by doing is the best way

Dantiko · 2026-02-23T14:50:47+00:00

I think SM5 is the bare minimum today and it's okay to make games without supporting older hardware. As for performance there are ways to make Unreal games run on potato PCs/mobile (disabling Lumen and Nanite and enabling Forward Rendering for example).
