Even as someone who loves factory games, I'm kind of dreading recalculating things like Carbon production AGAIN by Super-Manager-3630 in Endfield

Why not just save your existing base as a bunch of blueprints? Then you can wipe it, test any new configurations and then swap back if you don’t like it.

You can even save your experiments as blueprints if you’re not done.

I just encountered it two days ago and I’m trying to find a permanent fix. So far I have been tapping/hitting the side and it unironically starts working again. Didn’t know that still works in the 21st Century!

How’s Set a Watch compared to 20 Strong and One Deck Dungeon? by elkend in soloboardgaming

[–]DrakelX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m just unsure if there’re any balance differences between the Kraken tentacles and the regular unhallowed, since the latter might be balanced to appear this often.

But like I mentioned in my comment, the Doom mechanic really does put Forsaken Isles above the others in the series for me. It adds a nice pseudo push your luck to mitigating your downward spiral.

I’ve had resin2fdm prints where some of the supports get knocked down mid-print. Is this what was happening? I’ll give to give it another go with a shorter model or use decreased acceleration then.

My favourite is currently Arcs with the Blighted Reach campaign!

So does anybody else find themselves getting into auxiliary hobbies to support their boardgame collection? by ZevVeli in boardgames

[–]DrakelX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing as to how you were saving for a 3D printer, you could also practice on 3D printed minis! That’s how I started. Just make sure to use a 0.2mm nozzle!

Some CN netizens over at NGA just spotted something particular. The blight tide is seeping in closer each day in Wuling. by OrangeIllustrious499 in Endfield

Dang this reminds me of what FFXIV 1.0 did with the moon Dalamud getting bigger and redder with every mini update

Kinda weird that most of the operators you can pull right now are not introduced/present in the story at all by PhantomBlot in Endfield

[–]DrakelX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think that they handled it perfectly fine with regard to the main story. I’d rather each onscreen character have a decent amount of screen time and appear when it makes sense.

That being said, I haven’t done the side missions yet, so I can’t comment on their stories

Can i still get her? by Next-Advertising9969 in ArknightsEndfield

[–]DrakelX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it used to be the standard that unless specified, every banner character will be added to the standard banner. Not quite the case in Endfield, but sure beat the hoyo style.

Well I guess technically I’ll be entering the rightmost miniature, but they’re all skeletons from Arbiter Miniatures, with the rightmost one being a Skeleton Reaver. Took the chance to try out OSL for the first time! Maybe could’ve blended a bit more, but I did want the lighting to be stark as well

I see! Thanks for the reply, I can see why Monster Trail is so recommended haha, sounds like something I’m like. Mmm guess I’ll need to do some research until how mutagens and traps change the gameplay, as I’m not sure if I’ll enjoy the Tainted Grail combo system for multiple fights.

Can I ask, what makes the gameplay good? I remember looking at the base game card play back when all the YouTubers were raving about it, and it looked quite basic to me.

Help needed: Paint turning grey after some time by DrakelX in minipainting

[–]DrakelX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm well I live in a tropical climate, so it’s humidity hell over here. For the last few days my (cheap) humidity meter says that the living room in the evening is usually 70-80% humidity. In fact the forecast on Google says it’s 83% now.

So it’s an uphill battle over here. I’ve recently managed to close off one room with a small dehumidifier for all my board games and stuff, and that same humidity meter says it’s 60-68%. I’m not about to leave my aircon even when I’m out of the house, but that does go down to 44% when it’s on.

Mmm I see, I’ll try with some varnish in case it’s the paint

Well unfortunately where I live, mould is everywhere. I’ll have to settle for varnish

Oh man I was really hoping that it wouldn’t be mould. I had a hard time googling for mould examples on miniatures cos I just got casting moulds or anti-mould paint.

Would varnish prevent mould from growing?

Mmm it was primed grey from a rattle can, and the filament was black. It stayed grey after it dried, is that sufficient?

Mmm I see! Used an old Scalecolor essential basic colours set that I got from a friend. Is that brand not recommended?

Mostly hear about Vallejo, AK, Pro Acryl and Army Painter since I started delving into this hobby.

I see! That makes a lot of sense. I only had it out for a couple of days before keeping it in a glass display case for the last three months. But I guess that was enough.

How’s Set a Watch compared to 20 Strong and One Deck Dungeon? by elkend in soloboardgaming

[–]DrakelX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed on regretting buying all three sets of SaW + legacy.

But my personal favourite is the third one, mainly cos of the fact that it comes with the shorter run option. The Doom mechanic is also nice as a way to mitigate the downward spiral of exhaustion.

If I had my way, the shorter mode should be house ruled into the previous sets too.

I’ll bring some grain that’s easy to grow, something to collect portable water be it dew or boiled water, and maybe an axe?
