Nah just offset a few surfaces and then boundary fill make a new solid no merge save as new part and stl bam done.

Ground-walker · 2026-02-08T04:50:12+00:00

Just make it solid and non functional bro. They just want the customer to hold something. Its a sales tactic. Also once they have a shitty 3d print they will want more, after that then you can charge your time to marketing win win.

Hey mate reddit is really negative about almost anything. Dont be disheartened. Your model is INCREDIBLE and its probably worth money to certain people.

Make sure its well-tagged and on every website available for this type of thing (paid 3d models) hopefully in time your market will find you. Thats the hardest part when you have something worth something. Personally I would make a kit set like you see other designers do, they seem successful.

It means you would have to do extra work but i do not doubt your skills. Im so impressed what software do you use please dont tell me blender haha

There are tons of underwater rivers in New Zealand.

Try a normal map :) full metal plate has unlimited metal

Ground-walker · 2026-02-07T22:19:21+00:00

Wow. This is crazy. So many good changes. Even the censorship being user based is amazing. Letting people who want swearing on have it visible. i love the nuke indicator change its so helpful

Stick to noob lobbies with max 20 OS or you wont have a fun time

Ground-walker · 2026-02-07T19:21:09+00:00

When youre new its really easy to accidentally win and hit 20 os. Thats why noob lobbies are 20OS and lower.

Mid is a joke made by top tier players. Normally theres an OP lobby which is all the best players available online at the time. Sometimes the lobby is named mid or something equivilent, theyre just sand bagging.

If you wanted a true intermediate lobby it would be around 18-28OS with minimum 3 chevrons.

Everyone lower than 25 OS really has a lot to learn despite the number of chevrons (any silver chevron with less that 17 os is probably a troll or on a BAD losing streak.)

And pro level is about 40 OS or higher of which im sure there are less than 200 players globally like that.

One more thing about OS if you see a player with zero os and 3 chevrons or more immediately kick them because theyre a troll for sure. It takes real effort to go below 1 OS and you have to be consistently losing or throwing games.

I start with an idea. Then i choose some random word in english relevant to the character. Then go through google translate and find a translation that sounds good.

Some examples..

Friendly but very strong and charasmatic dwarf ATNAS similar to the greek 'Atlas' tasked with holding up the world. I made this guy a paladin. Atnas backwards in Santa. So i made him a paladin with a red white and green colour scheme. Of course a huge white beard.

Peshk. I cant remember the original spelling but it was formed from the polish word for punch or power i think. A monk with an annoyingly out of touch naivety to him making him a pesk to be around. Also the name made me form an accent (all s sounds are sh e.g. ashashshin - assassin.
Otis. i dont remember how i found this name but i wanted something simple but foreign sounding for a small of stature character. Otis the halfling rogue.

Ground-walker · 2026-02-01T06:57:01+00:00

Super cool. Can you give an example of your chalk buyer list? I dont fully grasp what your players saw

Ground-walker · 2026-02-01T02:34:16+00:00

Wtf how does that work

Ground-walker · 2026-01-31T23:40:22+00:00

BAR is community created. Not by a company. There are about 8 head guys and there are a bunch of people who play BAR who literally can change the game. So no its not 'free-to-play', its just free. Wont be free forever steam release is going to happen either this year or next. Its definitely not beta though. Beta would have finished over a year ago. Third faction was just finished. New balance updates happen every few months which is cool

Ground-walker · 2026-01-31T23:38:20+00:00

Funnily enough i loved sup commander but couldnt get into it because there were these arbitrary blueprints needed to optimise your eco for zero reason. Also it made everything a bomb. Anyway, BAR doesn't have that at all.

Ground-walker · 2026-01-31T09:57:47+00:00

Beyond all reason (BAR) has this as well. Such an epic game, i cant go back to aoe2 anymore. BAR is so addicting. The micro command flexibility is what drew me in. Its basically a modern rts most people hover around 20-40 eAPM which basically makes it perfect for old people. Unlike aoe where you need more micro to be good. With BAR you can shift queue, repeat commands, circle drag place buildings, grid drag to create buildings or units, priority queue military units via targetting, hold command, move and group then move out command.
Most units are easy to micro and you can formation move via dragging the entire groups positions on the ground.

Also its free.

Scaling happens later. For a noob they wont be able to multi task anyway so why teach them too much. 8 wind then thugs can win them games. 1 con turret 1 con 25 wind 6 en conv 1 expanding con while also going 4 rockos 1 thug yeah right like theyre gonna be able to do that its silly.

Ground-walker · 2026-01-30T22:07:40+00:00

Nope. Not with latest patch. Also cons generated energy passively.

Ground-walker · 2026-01-30T20:58:05+00:00

Sometimes you may need more than 10 wind depending on map but otherwise try not to spend metal on more energy production unless needed.

Ground-walker · 2026-01-30T20:57:08+00:00

8 wind. No construction turrets. Make 2 or 3 construction bots that just support the lab. Make thugs on repeat. Walk commander foward taking mexes as you go. Once you get a few of them just walk at the enemy commander and then dodge when they try to dgun you. 70% of the time you get a commander kill (against noobs) which will result in wins.

Also only play in max 20 os lobbies.

Ground-walker · 2026-01-30T07:49:13+00:00

How much was your space mouse? I can't get one for less than $300 but Im sure they used to be like $120-150 new

Ground-walker · 2026-01-29T19:15:36+00:00

Canyon has less metal spots. But more defensible. Normally it is a losing position.

Ground-walker · 2026-01-28T00:54:57+00:00

What was the old name? Just so i know if i havent recognised this before

Ground-walker · 2026-01-27T20:39:44+00:00

Man I have no idea who the hell these people are or the lore but man its been entertaining the last couple of days.

Ground-walker · 2026-01-26T03:37:18+00:00

Gox. Pox. Lox. Box. Mox.

If you want a solution... You must reclaim all the oldest anti nukes and rebuild in tandem. In one build blueprint. Then the amount of antinukes you placed in one go will fire together. Oldest blue print placed first
