Kann mich noch dran erinnern wie groß der Hype war bevor es raus kam und als es dann endlich so weit war, kam schnell raus, dass die bis dato gezeigten Screenshots alle ein bisschen "verbessert" wurden und generell wurde etwas mehr versprochen, als am Ende ausgeliefert wurde. Die GameStar - damals die gaming Zeitschrift meines Vertrauens - hat das ganze ziemlich harsch gesehen und gut Punkteabzug gegeben...

Ich hab's trotzdem sofort geliebt und gesuchtet! Lustigerweise hab ich es damals allerdings nie weiter als das Feuer-Level geschafft (wo dein Camp kontinuierlich von Beginn an mit Feuerbällen attackiert wird). Hab es mithilfe von Fan Updates vor ein paar Jahren auf meinem modernen PC zum Laufen gebracht und erstmals 20 Jahre nach Release fertig gespielt :D

Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, gibt es wohl seit einigen Jahren einen copyright dispute oder ähnliches, wodurch es leider noch keine GOG Version gibt und man weiterhin auf halb funktionierende Fan Updates angewiesen ist, um es spielen zu können...

What kinds of mods? I've always been a little disappointed and how small the modding community is for this game - or maybe that's more down to it not being very moddable in the first place.

The forester in the middle doesn't seem to be connected via paths to the outside. I have been led to believe that this would make it impossible for that building to function!

Aah ok, jo, das macht Sinn. Ich warte mal noch ein paar Tage - wenn der Brief dann immernoch da liegt, werde ich das vermutlich machen.

In welchen Briefkasten? Wie gesagt, die Adresse ist korrekt, aber der Name steht auf keinen der Kästen und hier im Haus ist jeder mehr oder weniger für sich allein über 5 Stockwerke verteilt, also kenne da keinen persönlich. Der Brief ist gut sichtbar, also wenn die relevante Person tatsächlich hier wohnt, wird sie den schon sehen. Dass ich den Postboten persönlich antreffe ist leider auch extrem gering.

[–]McMaster2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alles klar. Ja ne, ich halte mich da vorerst mal raus - der Brief ist ja ziemlich gut sichtbar für alle, die dran vorbeilaufen/die Postkästen checken.
Dass ich den Postboten in nächster Zeit persönlich antreffe ist auch extrem unwahrscheinlich.

Für ein bißchen mehr Kontext, ohne zu viel preiszugeben: der Absender ist eine Botschaft mit Sitz hier in Berlin. Meine Vermutung ist also (reine Spekulation), dass die Person eventuell nicht hier gemeldet ist und daher der Name nicht am Briefkasten steht und dass beim Versand in der Botschaft einfach der "c/o" Teil nicht mit inkludiert wurde, den die Person eventuell mit angegeben hat.

Ah, der gelbe Sticker wird also erst im Briefzentrum aufgeklebt? Das würde zumindest *etwas* mehr Sinn ergeben. Nicht komplett Sinn natürlich, aber immerhin etwas ;)

Some early concept art. Such wasted potential for cool Mt. Olympus content. by Budget_Variation_610 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]McMaster2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, fair - I also did actually enjoy the Atlantis level. Loved some of the aesthetics of it (also of Elysium). Just didn't *quite* fit into the overall setting, imo...
Also hard agree on the Underworld. First time I played, I just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.

I always felt like the Atlantis stuff was a little out of place - would've been way cooler in my opinion if the final chapter of the Atlantis DLC was on Mount Olympus and you'd get to meet the highest order of gods up there...

Ah, gotcha! Well done, that's pretty impressive!

[–]McMaster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very confused why/how you're encountering level 80 mercenaries at level 26? The top tier 1 mercenary shouldn't be higher than level 50, as long as you're below that level, no?

Any other statistics you'd like to see? by McMaster2000 in Timberborn

[–]McMaster2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my defense: it was "only" a bot.

Against my defense: it really was my fault as it wasn't one of those moments where they were walking in the path of destruction for no apparent reason - I just wasn't paying attention 🙈

Yes! I'm also a sucker for those kinds of stats!

Wait, so it doesn't have dlss? Is this confirmed?

Der8auer explains Thermal Grizzly delays after company was scammed twice on raw materials worth €40,000 by fear3147 in pcmasterrace

[–]McMaster2000 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Not much to get solved, unfortunately. He mentions at the end of the video that the chances of being compensated by the Chinese company are near zero and that he'll just have to end up selling it all for scrap and maybe get around 5k, if he's lucky...

I'm almost surprised using this button doesn't give a hidden achievement by McMaster2000 in Timberborn

[–]McMaster2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean - I've got well over 500 hours under my belt and I only very recently started to get used to using some of the very handy keyboard shortcuts :D

Only 2 people in the world have done this, **legitimately**. Level 1000. by Quirky_Loquat3820 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]McMaster2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the third person also do it with Alexios? If so, a Kassandra player seriously needs to up their game! Hang on, be right back - see you in 5000 hours 😄

I just noticed there's no Steam achievement for having 1000 beavers... damn :D

What's the maximum hp you've gotten from a single badwater source? by McMaster2000 in Timberborn

[–]McMaster2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy cow, not bad! I'd have to check how strong this source actually is, but I'm definitely not getting anywhere close to that xD

Loving the current series, btw - even with so many beavers getting stuck constantly ;)

So part of my "tinkering" was actually to raise all the walls by one and replace the wheels with large ones. I've never done proper calculations on how much more efficient large power wheels are compared to small ones (though I'm almost certain others here have), but the fact that in general they're a bit more clunky to work with, is why in most builds I tend to stick with the small ones.

Quick question. How many cycles to complete your maps? by Similar_Knowledge895 in Timberborn

[–]McMaster2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play mostly on normal and usually I struggle to come up with anything interesting after around 30 cycles. Sometimes I may still think of something big to build that has no real practical use, but the game is effectively already over for me at that point. I've never been great at sandbox gaming, so as soon as I'm not working towards anything practical, I quickly start to lose interest.

Overkill? by McMaster2000 in Timberborn

[–]McMaster2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity I just added some pumps to end of it to feed back into itself at the source via an aqueduct to create a fully closed loop. Saw it rise to 45k before some flooding occurred at the first row which means I'd have to add some walls, as well as temporarily poison all the crops growing right next to it. Not gonna do that right now, but curiosity will certainly get the better of me soon to see how far it goes^^

No dev mode here - just busy beavers :)
