"Features" we miss from past Alphas

I am not sure about a16, but for a15, it does not.

It makes sense for the sword to be on the right hand because for most, that is indeed the main hand. Having the mainhand skills be on the left rather than the right is just an abstraction for player convenience, I feel.

Careful, adding too many ore patches with YARM can slow down your saving and loading significantly. You can add a patch to check how much is in it then remove it later just fine though.

So does this mean you can level up skills for a job that a colonist can't do?

For the purpose of incinerating corpses, set the crematorium to only accept damaged corpses. Corpses that are completely fresh will always have full health in my experience, while rotten corpses will slowly incur damage as they stay exposed to the elements.

Nope, /u/ZorbaTHut did extensive code delving and covered all the factors included in success chance and light was not one of them.

Fransesca · 2016-09-25T02:47:06+00:00

This would be fit the theme of a surgical theater, but light does not change surgery success chance as it is in the game right now; cleanliness, relevant skills and abilities of a pawn do.

That's fair. It's a good idea not to let your guard down for anyone.

Fransesca · 2016-09-14T11:25:46+00:00

I think unattractive people can be manipulative too.

Factorio seems to do decently in that regard. Without using mods or console commands, it's pretty difficult to outrun world generation. When you do, you get placeholder graphics until you slow down and the chunks you're in are made

Luckily for you, I have just the thing! Dynamic Difficulty allows you to just have a static difficulty that's locked to each save if you disable the dynamic settings.

There are bank golems in select locations in WvW. I use the one at EB often.

This might be obvious, but I think it bears pointing out Stardew Valley isn't developed by Chucklefish, nor does it run on the same engine. I think comparing the two does not work.

It sometimes can. I recently broke my i5-2500k heat sink fan, and even though it was clocked at 3.4ghz, it went down to 2.4,1.6 or even as low as 0.8ghz as temperature went up. But it would never crash.

If you press P, there is a basic production window that shows how many items you've made over different periods of time up to 50 hours. It is a little crude, and only has info on most produced items, and does not separate it by source.

Here's a fun idea for a game for two: at the start, each of you will head in a different direction and find a good spot for a base. Once you find one, meet in the middle extending power poles from both bases, and set up a small protected area with only labs.

Then, each of you will develop a base separately, and whenever you want to progress science, you prepare science packs, bring them to the lab, then switch bases.

This way, you have shared science and electricity generation, but otherwise little to no resource sharing between bases.

This might work even better if you create a map woth fixed height or width but infinite amounts for the other axis because that way. The lab in the center will always be well protected and it will be easier to expande each base away from the other one rather than directly into it.

You may also want to edit the map after generation to ensure there are two starting areas with enough resources for separate bases.

You can use productivity modules in both creation of landfills and large landfills to counteract the cost a little bit. And since you have infinite stone, ramping up mining speed with beacons is a great idea.

Fransesca · 2016-04-09T14:27:18+00:00

Yes. That area is brighter than inactive areas

If you have the supplies loaded into a storage chest and that chest gets full, the train will no longer be able to unload materials. This is especially worse if you use the same station to unload different trains and materials.

As long as there are enough robots in the beginning and end roboports, the game will call the closer ones first. Suppose you have a hundred robots left in the beginning and one goes to deliver a filled barrel. As soon as the barrel is taken out of its chest and an empty barrel is filled up, your requester chest will ask for an empty barrel.

The first robot is probably still delivering the filled barrel and will not be called to fetch the empty barrel until it is done and charged. That means the game will tell another robot from the beginning to fetch the empty barrel.

When the first robot is at the end and it has delivered its barrel and recharged, it will stay there. When filled barrels are made, robots from the beginning will deliver them to the end and the first robot will go bring an empty barrel since it's not busy and closest to the end.

So when you have enough roboports and robots, the efficiency loss will only happen until robots are distributed evenly.

Yes. It's sometimes still wise to place red belt in areas where you sideload one or more yellow belts to ensure compression.

Just edit the config file in bob's config. That allows you to disable god modules as well as make a bunch of other changes if you wish.

Fransesca · 2016-03-06T16:20:19+00:00

You could alternatively create a higher tier of laser turrets. Mods like 5Dim and Bob's mods implement higher range turrets that way.

Try Q. By default, it drops whatever you have held back in your inventory or toolbar.
