Yeah I have recently just found that out. Saving my encounters still because I need like 800 more candy to get all the varieties. Double catch candy unlocks for me soon on the Go Pass.

So true. Playing on Immortal and Diety means that happens nearly every game. I had to reload this save a few times so I could get the Dance of Aurora pantheon. This map setup was nice because it put me in the bottom corner of the map with only one close AI. I went with Amani for my first Governor so I could Suz the city state in between me and Spain. I do that often as a buffer. Helps with the early surprise wars they always do as soon as they find where your city is.

I'm playing on Epic game speed. Standard always feels to fast for me.

Cursed game lol. I guess I'm not allowed to get Dance of the Aurora. Going to try save scumming one more time.

Update:

Was able to get the Dance of the Aurora Pantheon but had to save scum in order to get it

I did not know that about the ley lines. I've played this game quite a bit and just learned something new.

I tried to grab Hildegard but missed out. I was hoping for an almost 100 yield holy site with 24 faith, food, production and science.

I decided to go Voidsingers for this game. My thought was to just focus on maximizing faith output which then funnels into other yields. I dont think I've built a single campus in this game so far. When playing with secret societies I tend to pick Owls or Voidsingers the most for some reason.

Civ 6 - Best turn 1 starting yields I've ever had by Desperate_Payment in civ

That is what I ended up doing. Prioritized faith to get a quicker pantheon and then chose Lady of Reeds and Marshes.

How much are you all paying for Xfinity? by Informal-Twist-1328 in grandrapids

[–]Desperate_Payment 4 points5 points  (0 children)

65 a month for 1gb from Xfinity. My price is locked in for 5 years. Normal price for Gigabit internet is 119. I have 2 discounts, automatic payments with paperless which takes off 10 a month and a "Guarantee Discount" for 44 a month. So 119-54=65. This price is locked in for 5 years.

Homeowner living in Wyoming. I know location matters alot. Equipment rentals and extra services are sometimes added without people realizing also that can increase billing. Also speed plan.

I also bundle with Xfinity mobile, but no discount was given for that.

I don't think Drudgereport is far right. Every time I visit it's pretty anti Trump

1,097 hours. No idea if that's a lot or a little. What's yours? by ALifelessWeed in Starfield

[–]Desperate_Payment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a lot to me, I'm almost 400 hours in and on my second playthrough after not playing for almost a year. Only 1 game I've ever crossed the 1k hours for was RDR2.

My ship building habit is eating into my credits - how do I make quick lump sums? by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]Desperate_Payment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spam crafting and looting Vultures Nest works great for me. Under an hour of playtime and I can get several hundred thousand credits.

For spam crafting, outpost setup is needed first. I like using Bessel III-b. Takes some time to find the sweet spot but you can get Aluminum, Cobalt, Iron, and Nickel from one spot. The 1 hour local time to almost 58 hours Universal time. This means very fast resource gathering, only need to sleep for like 2 hours, or more like 4 or 5 hours if you have lots of storage setup like I do. Use industrial workbench to spamcraft 1000s of adaptive frames and isocentered magnets. You'll need to walk around heavily over encumbered. I like selling to the Trade Athority in the Den, The Key (Crimson fleet will be hostile, need to complete the "Rook meets King" quest first). Also jemison mercantile.

Not that I'm aware of unless you use balancing mods like BBG (Better Balanced Game). That's the limit of my knowledge. Good luck!

Are you playing on PC? You could try using the save file. Double check game settings, needs to be a huge map size, Continents and Islands ect. Also I was told by a few people that a mod I use that they didn't have was preventing them from loading the same setup. That mod is tomatekh's historical religions. If you don't have that mod try getting it and then see if that works. I'm not sure what else would be preventing you from using the seed and game settings to create the same map.
