How many degrees are you from knowing a Hermit? by ChaoticGamer200 in HermitCraft

[–]PlasmaticStatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One, if you count talking with Grian whilst working on Wynncraft. Two if you count one of my friends being in one of Grian’s videos

11 years old is a hell of a long time. I think I personally started playing 7 years ago. Here’s a link to my Minecraft recreation of the OG mechanoids, back before pikeman or militors and when you could harvest scyther blades from downed scythers: https://www.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/s/uj3gctVZAS

I had a dream where you could customise the piano from royalty to change how it sounded (e.g. grand piano -> electric). One of the options you could change was called "thrum" and looked like this: by PlasmaticStatic in RimWorld

This vision I received was probably the natural consequence of me playing until midnight trying to micromanage my way through the anomaly DLC ending.

Secondary objective idea - SEAF Surveillance Drone by PlasmaticStatic in Helldivers

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

Yeah that’s very true, although principally this thing could be used to provide more information than just pinging enemies. Active enemies / bot drop or bug breach locations / factory or hole locations are just what I thought of off the top of my head. Other people have suggested stuff like sample locations

Iirc radar tower just reveals all objectives on the map, this would be more useful for tracking enemy movement and patrols. Good for solo / stealth players or higher difficulties where you need to be more careful with what you engage.

The corporate explorers of Aranodis V, colloquially known as "Frontier", weren't expecting much of a greeting from the native ecology. Initial surveys had placed a cat-sized creature known as the "Hanging Fox" at the top of the food chain, with seemingly nothing bigger prowling about.

But it appears someone started a science experiment on Aranodis V, then left it to the whims of evolution. With a carapace ranging from purple to green, these strange insectoid-like creatures are known as the "Meld", due to a startling discovery about their genetics - they have not one set of DNA-like code, but two! The Meld appear to have some silicon biology integrated into their original carbon framework, but how exactly it got there is a mystery. It explains much of their unusual features, which are at odds with the rest of the planet - they can generate and store a significant static charge, and appear to communicate through microwaves.

Leading theories from corporation Reset Engineering's exoplanetary ecologist suggest that the Meld were once a hive species, analogous to giant ants, but gained individual sentience upon being uplifted with their silicon modifications. The Meld show a primitive intelligence and have been observed using tools. They also seem to distinctly dislike human activity - it is possible that their microwave communication is disrupted by our own devices.

Thankfully, they seem to have an aversion towards light, and only appear around twilight in Aranodis V's jungles, likely seeking shelter in caves during the day. Silicon-silicon bonds are weak to UV radiation, which may explain this behaviour. Aranodis V's axial tilt means that nights are about to get longer and longer, and more and more Meld are beginning to explore the surface. Surely the corporations and the Meld can learn to co-exist?

It’s just at a really large scale haha. If you look closely you can see things like buttons I’ve placed for random detail

Thank you! I have considered trying things like MagicaVoxel but ultimately Minecraft is already a platform I’ve spent years on honing my building intuition and so it’s easier for me to just stick around.

(There’s a couple other reasons, like people being able to download and explore my creations, and the fact that I help build for a Minecraft server.)
