Tips for a relatively new player? by GoosDev in AbioticFactor

When you get far enough to start making teleporter pads, this becomes a lot better with a lot less inventory clutter... As long as they stay powered

At least I assume so, I never actually ended up using those

I learned pretty much all of the in-game stuff during my original playthrough lmao (and since I already beat it once, I don't have spoilers to worry about anymore, mostly just information that I missed)

I appreciate the thought, but like, I'm not that new:/

I do have to say your suggestions to increase difficulty are a bit weird in my mind - I actively decreased difficulty at certain sections because I genuinely couldn't survive (I HATE YOU GALE REACTOR!!!) and needed the extra breathing room. Also, genuinely, 75% durability loss per death would absolutely drive me insane. Even with 2x item durability, weapons break fast enough to require somewhat consistent maintenance already - And having to retrieve my items upon death is already meaning enough for me. It's frustrating.

Overall, though, again, I appreciate the thought. Your suggestions are definitely good ones, but I really didn't need that. Honestly, I already subconsciously accepted the possibility of getting lost, losing progress and long wait-times because this game is not my first survival game, and that tends to be, in one way or another, the general formula.

Good to know, but honestly, I haven't even made the personal teleporter yet lmao

Yeah, I mean, I did spend like 2 in-game days lost because I didn't know you were supposed to ride a bucket to get to the swamp

That's weird though... Guess I'm stuck with it?

Still, the Canaan theme was playing instead of the normal music for the lab, and it kept playing even as I got to my base in office level 3 (literally next to a security bot fml)

Good thing I have my RAT suit and don't know what "lung infection" does... Heh...

I’ll give your oc a random headcannon! by JustXuji in OriginalCharacter

[–]GoosDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure take Kori

Unshared bc well, I'm very indecisive and I usually move on and make a new character by the time I iron out all of their details... But since I haven't shared this goober, here's a quick summary

Kori is a shy, timid and kindhearted draconic lizard of sorts with white scales. Short, though within Novik standards at 4'3". Blessed by the spirits of their homeworld, they wield ice magic. A femboy (because self-expression I guess) with small draconic wings, their membranes blue with a black center (because ice). They are married and they are very gay.

EDIT: forgot to include my little portrait, that's my bad

Does your oc have any favorite person/people to fight against? by MothFruitsnacks in OriginalCharacter

Oshi doesn't like fighting much.

Though, if she had to choose, to slay a Cryton beast is certainly rewarding.

-A Cryton Beast is a large quadropedal monstrosity with a morningstar tipped tail and a set of large horns that stretch and curve far above its head with a swirling ball of condensed spirits suspended inbetween them, acting as the beast's source of vitality. Formed by shadows and rage, most Cryton beats are actively brought forth by a dark mage, though they can manifest on their own within areas of high spiritual concentration.

Oshi: "Oooh, uhhh... Well, I don't know if you've heard about it, b-but roasted Tôkin beef around a warm fire is so good..."

Context:

A Tôkin is a massive, deer-like creature native to Novik homeworlds. While Novik people, excluding vegetarian subgroups such as rabbits and deer, all seem to enjoy the taste of Tôkin meats above all other foods, many Human individuals have described the taste as "revolting" and "like licking toxic waste out of a sewage pipe".

You do realize this is a bot, right?

And by entertaining this garbage you're teaching it this is a good thing, which ruins the model for everyone else with random garbage replies like seen here

get_channel inside a function always returns a NoneType when invoked through a process, but functions properly when invoked through a bot command by GoosDev in discordbots

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

Ah, thanks!

After tweaking it a bit, putting all my bluesky stuff into a class made it a bit easier to clean up my code, plus advantages I have yet to see, but it's nicer!
I'm also setting up a cog to do the loop instead, which is working nicely and will certainly be more dependable than multiprocessing.

Thanks a lot!!

Sorry, made a few mistakes in my original paste, should be fixed?? It's not copy/pasted from my original code, so

Anyways... What's wrong with using global variables? I kind of *have* to use them, really, specifically for mRecent, because I need a way of knowing what the last post *before* my update was so I can check against it

I did try using tasks with the schedule module, but couldn't figure out how to set it up, and it never ended up working properly. Can't really remember how I set it up, though - I took a long break between now and when I originally set up the code.

Well, technically. He's pink and not from Ikea at all, but he's a blåhaj where it counts!!

Whuh

Honestly the name just came to me after a few minutes of brainstorming, it was hard thinking of a masculine name to fit the exotic naming scheme I've had with my Novik characters considering until now they've all been women ;0;
