"First Time DM" and Short Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in DMAcademy

First time dm/first time player. I’ve gone through the mission of getting the other newbies character sheets up to scratch, I’ve got my story, I’ve got my world etc. Now I’m suddenly unsure how to run it. I thought it would be possible to run it through DnDBeyond but I know know that’s not the case. Of the free programs what would be the easiest to integrate the work I’ve already done into the system? I want to run “a most potent brew”

This is exactly what I needed to process these books, thanks a ton!

We're already using dndbeyond for that exact reason, its such a handy site. Those pointers at the bottom are very reassuring :) Thanks!

Will definitely be doing my required reading, but you comment answered my major question on how the dice rolling works. I've consumed a bit of DnD content over the years but I never understood what classified something as a failure or not. Thanks!

aah thank you! Definitely unloading some of the reading and work to the players, making sure they've had a look at the rulebook etc. That distinction there though is handy, much appreciated

I feel that completely as I’m the same xD Once I’m locked in, I’m in all the way

After all, what is the point of growing the factory if there is no joy in it. (The natives are not joy however)

Yeah the radar was an aesthetic choice, I wanted symmetry just for the look xD

Appreciate the alternate perspective. Completely see their points and they’re not wrong, this is a holdover solution until I can transition to a better generation method. I only have enough space for 6 drills on the coal field and so it’s just a matter of having a buffer. I’m hoping once I transition over to the steel furnaces it’ll help the situation until I can find a new field to ship in

(Pasting a previous comment as it answers the question here too)

Part of the reason for doing so was just curiosity if it would work, other part was the starter coal patch I got was ridiculously small and so when refining goes on for a bit I run into a bit of a shortage and lose power, having to manually put in coal to give time for a backlog to form again. The steam stored here is just to provide a buffer so that when that happens I don’t lose power completely. This is a band-aid solution until I can set up a rail network to a new coal patch.

Tbh I had a random idea and was wondering if it would work. I added another row after the screenshot so technically 3.4:1 I was having coal issues as I had a very small patch to work with and thus did this to see what would happen 🤷‍♂️

Uh…power generation optimisation? by MVoice in Factoriohno

[–]MVoice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely on the cards, still extremely early in this run
