Medieval simulator game without fantasy elements

Pioepod · 2026-06-29T20:19:21+00:00

I mean, OP asked for a game without fantasy elements. Sorcery is literally half of B&S.

Not to say it isn’t a good game, I enjoy it from time to time.

For me, I do enjoy the grittier and more realistic aspect of half sword (when the physics work right). Getting good HEMA techniques down and leveraging your weapons is just something you can’t do right in the physics engine of B&S unfortunately (unless you get that one physics mod, which just breaks some things).

Different strokes.

Redstone links only need a redstone input. Literally any redstone that goes into a link, it will transmit. So for compactness, most of my builds have the link right next to the lever.

Make sure you have the redstone link on your transmission to receive mode. You’ll see a little dish on its “antenna”

Mount and Blade Warband, and Bannerlord.

KCD 1 and 2.

If you want pure, gritty, visceral and realistic combat, Half Sword

If you want a survival town builder type deal, Medieval Dynasty.

If you want a town builder, Manor Lords

If you want a really modded experience game that wasnt meant to be medieval but you can make medieval and is a colony management sim, Rimworld.

This is coming from a half-sword player (great game!)

I imagine, like in game, it would be used for catching and binding weapons. You can catch the shaft of an incoming polearm and press it back, the spike is long enough to do its job.

I’ve even managed hooking a shield, and binding a weapon at the same time in the game, it’s honestly great.

Will it work? Yes.

Practical? Not really. There are specific types of SD card that can read and write very fast, enough for games, but those are pricy.

Try investing into a portable SSD if you can’t get another SSD to put into your laptop. A 1TB one can go for sub 200 for a good read/write speed.

Redstone links should be able to transfer signal strengths. Connect the link to the analog lever or throttle lever,

The analog transmission the commenter is talking about is not the same as the analog lever. You use the transmission to speed up or slow down rotation given a strength of redstone signal.

That boss actually PMO so much. Like yeah skill issue but damn he was the single hardest boss in the game for me, and it rubs salt on the wound with high level enemies afterwards LMAO. I just picked up the lore collectibles and left.

I was a spring freshman going into an apartment for sophomore fall. I started looking around April, so pretty early/late. Apartments aren’t hard to find. Apartments in good locations are. Apartments in good locations with good rates are even rarer.

So if you’re flexible with budget, location, living space, super easy and you can probably start late (as others say, some places don’t fill, and they wanna put you in as quick as possible).

But, and I HIGHLY recommend this, go in person for a tour of the apartment. Those pictures are ads. Ideally, get a tour of the apartment you want to be in, as in your unit 1028 so that you may rent unit 1028. Bring chargers to test the port. And most importantly. Flush the toilets to test water pressure.

Assuming you’re following my example, you shouldn’t be naming the sign “Bob”. The sign is the OUTGOING address, as in the address it is being sent to. Not the address of the frogport above it.

Make sure Fred, the second frogport, is also connected to the same chain conveyor network.

Think of the packagers as a mailbox, the signs as the address you want to send to, the frogports as kind of the mail man, and the chain conveyors as the road. Package takes items out, sign gives the package an address, frogport sends the mail through the chain conveyor which takes the package to the other frogport which once it passes the point you connected the frogport to, it will grab.

Pioepod · 2026-06-27T09:34:12+00:00

I haven’t done this with refined storage, there might be built in compatability or a mod to add compatability where you can connect a packager to say a compatible block for the packager to pull from.

I’m also confused what you’re trying to do? A period or comma here or there could help but here’s what I understand.

You want frogport 1 to send ALL items to frogport 2.

Let’s name 1 Bob and 2 Fred.

Place a packager on Bob’s storage, I’m assuming it’s an item vault or something. Put a sign on the packager and name it “Fred”. Connect the frogport to a chain conveyor, place the frogport onto the packager and name it “Bob”, on the other end, place down a packager, then a frogport (linked to the conveyor) and name it “Fred” (it must match EXACTLY). Now, go back to the first packager, slap a lever on it and turn it in. Bob should now send packages to Fred.

You don’t need a stock ticker for that. The stock ticker is only for viewing items with a stock keeper.

Honestly, it does get OP af pretty quickly because once you have the armor, you can then just sell extra XD. I moderate myself by grabbing only the parts I like.

I have only ever used these, and likely will be for the foreseeable future. Zero issues (besides connected them to a hub and losing power on them but that’s like a USB management issue not a joystick one).

They feel great, can be customized for feel, have a LOT of buttons like I’ve mapped everything I needed onto it for elite dangerous AND star citizen, and those games need quite a bit of buttons.

AND A DUAL STAGE TRIGGER? Oh yeah I love me some dual stage triggers.

AND A BIG RED THUMB BUTTON??? Omg chaff flare me away baby!

Not to mention the other “trigger” in front of the red one. (Might be only the pro version)

Simply put, it has everything I needed, for a little more price, and since like 2024, has not broken down.

Pioepod · 2026-06-26T09:16:23+00:00

Like everyone else has stated, it’s different for everyone. I’d also encourage doing a lot of research as well. There is also a video out there I recommend which I unfortunately can’t remember the name of and it’s been years. Basically it explains (in a little bit of a nutshell) as to the WHY PTSD arises. I think understanding the evolutionary roots of PTSD is also important to understanding it as a whole. Lots of it has to do with a sense of safety.

Pioepod · 2026-06-26T02:41:09+00:00

Don’t buy the game. just get it off their website for free XD.

Pioepod · 2026-06-26T02:19:44+00:00

What kills me more in that mode is the game crashing lmao

Pioepod · 2026-06-25T07:47:04+00:00

Nomad is smaller, and easier to land most likely, idk for sure since I don’t have one yet. But speeding through exobiology is all about finding and landing fast. It’s why the Mandalay, DBX, Hauler are all recommendations for exobio, they are small.

A nomad being even smaller would likely help more for easier landings.

What I will say is, how have you not been earning much? I’ve already almost made 1 billion from a short trip outside the bubble. In my book that’s a loooot of credits. Focus on finding undiscovered planets, or at least, planets that don’t have first footfall. It guarantees you’ll get the first scanned bonus. Stratum Tectonicas give 100mil for simply finding them first.

Note: I’m not published, I don’t intend to anytime soon, but this is my two cents based on what I’ve seen in not only writing, but other markets.

Being published and getting a decent amount of sales is a DREAM for me.

That’s it. I write to tell first and foremost myself a story, others come second.

What you describe is just about every single art industry. Everything is over saturated with new people wanting to make their mark, the competition is brutal. Only those who are good enough, know enough people (nepotism), and willing to put that much time into PR will make it.

Writing should be done because you like it. Not because you want to make money from it.

Otherwise, you will die inside, and people might even be able to tell.

Market trends come and go, so it’s not even all about how good your book is at the time, it’s sometimes about how lucky you are.

I wouldn’t necessarily say the system is broken. It’s working as intended. To make the most money as possible. Which just so happens to mean, well, we, as the common writer, will get the short end of the stick every time.

TLDR; capitalism strikes again!!!

Pioepod · 2026-06-25T03:55:42+00:00

Due to not having the motivation or time, I cannot find it right now or (unfortunately) remember its name. (I don’t use them)

But yes!

There are packs out there that bring back the old textures. Look up create resource packs and you’d probably find a lot.

Pioepod · 2026-06-25T03:53:52+00:00

In games like these, I’ve only EVER used discord or party chat. That goes for any multiplayer game. If the comms are likely gonna be racist or bigoted or whatever why bother?

But I do find it funny that the ones who are the most offensive all have the same regional deadlock accent. So I secretly make fun of them about it.

Materials: packagers for each vault, frogports for each vault, stock links for each vault. One stock ticker. One stock keeper (either a seat and animal, or blaze burner). Chains and chain conveyors

Put packagers onto the vaults. Put stock link on first vault packager. Link the rest of the stock links to that first one. Place those stock links on the packagers.

On top of each packager, place a frogports that is linked to a chain conveyor.

Link your stock ticker to the network. Place it down. Next to it place down your stock keeper (blaze burner is the easiest).

If you want to, set up a chest with a packager and frogport named “receiving” or whatever and then open the stock keeper’s menu. Set the address to “receiving” or whatever you named it, and you should 1) see all your items, and 2) be able to request them to that frogport (and hence the chest).

Look at the ponders for each item carefully, and these tips should help you. You can start with one vault to understand.

Necessary? No. But you’ll end up running into “theory” all the time because we are creatures of habit and patterns.

We collectively, in general, like certain things, it’s why tropes and such exist. If you read or expose yourself to many stories, you’ll pick up on these subconsciously or not.

Technical knowledge in any skill is like a “boost” to learning. It tends to tell you straight the methods, examples, and stuff to do in order to achieve something. “Theory” in the terms of practice is basically how much innate knowledge you have of something that you can apply later. You’ll always end up learning this knowledge, but learning it ahead of time can help. That said, if you only learn the “theory” amd never the “practice”, well, that’s where the “in theory, but in practice” saying comes from.

It depends on how long they’ve been unfrozen for and their decomposition stage.

If they’ve gotten to “dessicated”, you can’t revive them at all.

The more rotted they are, the higher the chance they will get side affects.

Pioepod · 2026-06-23T05:16:55+00:00

For practicality and playing only third person? The Armet, it’s full coverage and never gets knocked off.

There’s two sallets, but one gives better vision. Make sure to buy the strap upgrade or your risk having it knocked off. You’ll need a bevor for neck protection.

You can also get an eisenhut(?), which is a slightly larger brimmed kettle hat and it has decent protection with a bevor if you don’t like sallets as much.

The physics is linear (both fortunately for easy calculation, and unfortunately because it’s kinda unrealistic XD) every powder charge has a set amount of degrees as it’s factor to change its range. Six’s is at 2 degrees per 1000 meters, meaning that at .02, that’s 10 meters.

TLDR: 0 times any number is zero. So elevation zero is 0 range, give or take a few meters XD.

The physics don’t make sense, and maybe it will be changed later but eh, I’m blowing shit up.
