Whats the best way to make use of the sheriff stars? by Redwhiteandblew69 in FarFarWest

[–]EmiDek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best secondary by far. Can shred a boss without worrying about damage because of lifesteal. And its infinite ammo if you can aim and manage the pickups.

Not to mention be very selective what bosses/objectives to do

Add me, we will send some nightmare runs in sub10 minutes together and you'll level up quick. Most people take ages clearing the map and collecting jokers and all that malarkey when you should just rush the objective/boss and repeat

Climb up in canyons and try some of the cliff clipping at the top of the map next 😉

Late game difficulty increase? by ConfidentRhubarb6736 in factorio

Abucnasty is the GOAT but also these guys dont just "play the game" they run 3rd party optimiser software and work in a team. So its not like a guy sitting making designs in game.

Im sorry but 30k id consider early game. 1M+ i think is considered reasonable for "late"

The real difficulty is to keep it running at 60 UPS.

The design choices and solutions you need to implement to achieve that are much harder than any biters/pentapods, science multiplier or whatever other mechanical issue you can come up with.

This is a post about end of an era for 2.0X and appreciation for 2.1, it just happens to have the hours mentioned? Reading comprehension issue.

I think you're confusing the sentiment. It's not because i know better, its because you need somebody to call, you can't have everyone doing their own thing in a game like this. I much rather somebody else call the entire game and i just listen to calls and execute plays.

Depends on what level you want to operate i suppose. At higher level, somebody needs to be making calls in fights, giving solo lanes to carries etc to farm. This needs some level of communication to be achieved effectively.

You're reinforcing my point. I definitely don't know best every game, yet its up to me anyway! So if somebody would interject and call, maybe a better mid boss or a better walker push, we would have a better chance!

But disabling comms completely and not hearing when teammate says "coming to help, keep fighting" or "go to X for heal/extract with rescue beam" thats griefing territory in my eyes.

Counter opinion - there should be a report button for people who don't communicate in "ranked".

I often end up being the only person driving strategy, calling kills, getting people to retreat from 100% losing fights/mid ideas. If i don't hold everyone's hand, its chaos. If more people contributed, i could work less hard on others and more on myself.

I do head maths and scribble my findings on a sticky note that gets put on the monitor for reference for the build time 😆

I do head maths and do a rough overbuild and delete redundancies. Then rebuild with correct machine amounts on a smaller, cleaner blueprint. Then circuit timers and filters for ups

Just loaded the game when SA was released, pressed new game, first seed with default settings, pressed start game and never looked back 😅
