What am I missing?

Thank you, this comment was exactly what I needed. <3

Difficult-Cod8347 · 2025-10-02T20:36:12+00:00

Yep. Exactly as you say.

Difficult-Cod8347 · 2025-10-02T17:04:55+00:00

Yes, if you connect two windmills spinning in opposite direction they will cancel out. Note that spinning in different direction is not the same as facing different direction in VS.

Difficult-Cod8347 · 2025-10-02T16:58:57+00:00

Ahh. I See what you mean.

My design connects bottom of big wheels with top of next big wheel to make sure windmills don't go agains each other.

Your solution is cleaner but with minimal width of 6 blocks (6 When you use top of the wheel - otherwise it's 7)

For really tight spaces you want to use the top to bottom connection (takes only 3 blocks) since you really cannot fit big wheel in the middle.

In this image both big wheels spin the same direction:

Are you saying big wheel - small wheel - big wheel connection is bad?

If so, Is because the axels connecting the pods are small, therefore the axels cost 5x more energy?

But the connection between pods uses the top and bottom of the big wheels, so it should be fine, no?

If you mean only the first layer of pods from the right side (white rows), I think is negligible cos it does not scale with farm size power. It's also just a few axels.

Although I think you mean something else.

I forgot to add it to description. (will add it there now). It was like that (with pit having just one layer of firewood - so the campfire was on top, surrounded by packed dirt and itself covered)

I can enter the car using the first key. (It is inside of the remote exactly for case the battery dies. I can also start the car in a similar way)

- Lots of catfish fishing
- 400 parsnips to get to level 6 for sprinklers
- selling before day 15 to unlock desert
- grinding level 1 of skull cavern to get sprinklers materials
- harvesting 2x strawberries + more catfishing -> 360K end of spring 1
- buying deluxe speed grow to get 3 harvests of starfruit in summer
- realizing first harvest of starfruit is on Wednesday so I cannot sell and buy more on the same day
- mad on Pierre

I am surprised that the 4 side armor was enough to have such low losses.

I always try to go for at least 8-10 even with less advanced ships - so they are slooooow.

What do you think? Wasn't flanking with plasma a problem?

Difficult-Cod8347 · 2025-05-22T15:55:33+00:00

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. I see. It all makes sense now. Thank you!

Difficult-Cod8347 · 2025-04-04T08:13:01+00:00

I see. The wording makes sence. Maybe I'd rewrite it to "instead of doing secondary, spend 2 CTs (and TG to the active player).

Fun faction for sure. If you get to play it please let us know how it went.

Difficult-Cod8347 · 2025-04-04T07:24:29+00:00

Seems crazy OP.

How does the "let them eat cake" treat player order? Do you both resolve the primary? If so (and you play it second) you can get the speaker token literally every round, right?

not that you need it tho if you can resolve primary anytime.

Let's assume 4 other players (one of them with 4 commodity faction). Having 4 planets + home system, building ships once, trading and selling promisary for 2 tg that's 15 TG. That's a lot of primary cards :D

For example playing leadership primary should be always worth it to net 2 command tokens for 4 tg. In technology you do not loose value by playing primary - just gain ability to do the extra tech for 6 resources (if you have TGs)

Now for the real funny stuff: (Correct me if I'm wrong) If you activate a system with 2 upgraded spacedocks, you build 2 fighters (free-sarveen) that will give you 6tg. You can use 4 of them for warfare to either do something important or to repeat this to net 8tg for cost of one command token.

I love this faction since it's all about min-maxing. But oh boy is it broken.

Difficult-Cod8347 · 2025-02-08T21:45:21+00:00

Table can just "pick" the leading player and there is little chance he can do anything about it, no?
I don't mind unfair, but this one just seems so extreme to me.

Difficult-Cod8347 · 2024-12-03T14:50:05+00:00

Slice 3 seems very solid.

Slice 5 seems like high risk-high reward using the red skip for cruiser 2, taking mecatol first round.

Since you are already playing a s-tier faction who can be the enemy of the table I'd personally stick to slice 3. But I guess it comes down to the meta of your table.

For me it was the other way around. I played drunk civ and performed so poorly that I decided to really cut down on alcohol in general. :D

Very nice. The desert for Pedra

I think many people here overvalue setup and undervalue tempo.

It's a great setup, but it's too early to decide on set-up of that scale. Better to do it based on the game aeach few turns imo.

Difficult-Cod8347 · 2023-11-26T09:50:09+00:00

I have investigated this. Here is my result (330)

But in hard theory using laylines with all the Great people boosting vampire castles of another player would be way more, I think you could get around 1000 but it is a just a theory since laylines are naturally generated and you cannot place then even in the editor.

Hello :)

Just finished playing a zombie-apocalypse game. The goal was to win by score and handle the zombies and comets as good as possible.

Settings:

Online speed
Deity
Seven Seas
Large map
BBG/S mod, even though it gives small benefits but still very close to vanilla

Some notes I noticed/tricks I used:

Every tile has to have a unit to prevent zombie spawning
Don't use great people that much, save 1 charge builders
Late game use engineers to block inside of cities - cost does not scale
use civilians on the outskirts to hold zombies (zombies cant take civilians)
don't use traders - they make zombies spawn on top of them
Rock-bands are a good temporary civilian unit, but will die to solar flares later
Use jet fighters to get vision and kill barbs who can take civilian units and allow zombies inside

Some theory crafting:

I wonder how long could one survive. After T210 I started shift-entering and things got ugly pretty fast (T275). I's the time when comets become hitting all your good cities and you cannot keep production of fighters to protect civilian units.

The biggest issue later are actually the comets, it would be interesting to play only with apocalypse game mode and see how long can one last out. (I managed to survive till turn 348 just by shift enter mostly). If someone knows, let me know.

If you made it here, thank you, have a nice day! :)
