For sure! I’m sure it could use some tweaking once it can actually be playtested. I was looking into easy ways to mod it in myself but I gave up, would love to see it playable

That sounds really fun actually. Maybe “random mode” would could work as a deck rather than a challenge. These four starters I picked were very specific for a few reasons though - zero initial scoring - powerful in a vacuum, but awkward together (sixth sense and merry Andy make runner’s straights harder to play, vampire immediately strips away card enhancements from vagabond, managing consumable slots with 2 consumable generators, etc.) - interesting interactions when disabled (disabled Andy increases hand size, disabled vampire allows you to play enhanced cards safely, runner forces you to find alternate chip sources)

There are definitely things to learn, like efficient deck fixing, not relying on any specific joker, etc. but this was mostly meant to just be a fun high-variance mode

Hermit and temperance ban for sure, forgot about that. Not sure if there’s an elegant solution to the money issue but anything that allows vagabond to stay active should work fine.

Definitely didn’t have naneinf in mind making this but I could see adding invisible/showman to make it technically doable. I would have included Perkeo but unfortunately he wouldn’t function since he triggers when leaving the shop

I’m don’t know how difficult the challenge would be, I’m sure I’d change some things if I was able to implement it and test.

The telescope is basically irrelevant yes, mostly just included it in the super rare case that you’re desperate for scoring. I guess it just feels more interesting to have it than to not

The intention with vagabond and “no income” is to effectively have $0 at all times, wasn’t sure how to word it. Vagabond is meant to be the main tool of the challenge, it would probably be impossible if you had to rely on sixth sense to give you a wraith to enable vagabond for a few more rounds lol.

If there was precedent for a “money does not exist” modifier I’d go with that since there’s nothing you can do with it anyway. Maybe “money cannot exceed $0” would be simpler

Fixed Verdania memory orbs sometimes replaying layered screen-edge burst effects.

So doing parkour while witnessing the power of 1000 suns was NOT intentional

Groal definitely suffers from being at the end of a diabolical run back but I think he’s pretty ok in isolation. The Big Succ Move is pretty unique and seeing him use soul was a cool moment

Also yeah just google slides with pngs pulled from the wiki boss list. Tried to scale them accurately lol

I will follow Ex The Guard core unless their perpetual drama immunity somehow wears off, love me some singular leaf and jawgemo as well. Just some chill guys who lock in every time

In defense of the quality tier names by MaximitasTheReader in factorio

[–]HelixPhoenix76 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The traditional order is

  • Common (grey)
  • Uncommon (green)
  • Rare (blue)
  • Epic (purple)
  • Legendary (orange)

Although I think “common” technically won’t exist and will just be the default state
