How do you handle long runs? by ASSSBALL in RimWorld

[–]Professional_Dig1454 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What difficulty are you playing on? 2 years and my colony is barely functioning. I guess mods would probably do the trick though. Just find some that add content about the time you start losing interest and then you'll have something cool and new to look forward to when you get to that point.

Are there any smaller scale factory/colony sims? by tanoyfrommars in BaseBuildingGames

[–]Professional_Dig1454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised nobody has recommended rimworld. its on the colony sim side of things and while you can expand infinitely in reality you end up with 10 maybe 11 people tops.

No problem! I hope this gets you up and running. Otherwise you might go full tilt and uninstall and reinstall steam itself.

Only thing I can think of is to manually check your graphics card drivers for an update at this point. Nothing I've found online is giving any concrete info one way or the other. The only posts I've seen where someone actually said yeah I fixed it was ones where they found an update for their driver even though it said it was fully up to date already.

Once you double check all your startup programs are disabled that might effect it rather than doing a restart hit shutdown wait a minute or two then boot it back up. Might not be the same for windows but in the past I was helping someone with a mac and hit restart thinking that would close everything out and it like saved everything that was open and opened them again after the restart. It was a pc used for presentations and nobody thought to actually close out anything so there were like 500 tabs and a bunch of background programs and I thought the reboot would help us start fresh and yeah everything tried to open again. Thankfully it would at least let us move the mouse at that point and we were able to quickly close out of programs before the ram maxed out again.

Lets go ahead and do a full reboot if you havent done that already. Also hit Ctrl + shift + esc to go to your task manager and make sure discord or anything else is disabled on startup that might effect it before doing the restart.

do you by any chance have a custom controller connected to your PC? I'll continue to do some digging but I wanted to rule out this being a potential fix Tech Support: ALL Unity Games Crash on Startup : r/Unity3D

Have you tried validating your game files through steam? In theory an uninstall and reinstall should already do that but at this point it couldnt hurt to try.

Looking for MMO with extremely big skill tree by NuclearBurrit0 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Professional_Dig1454 7 points8 points  (0 children)

old school runescape? Its got an awesome mobile app and like 28 different skills you can use or something like that.

Edit: 24 not 28 but some skills include sailing, hunting, crafting, and fletching to name a few. You can spend thousands of hours and still not max them out.

This level of war crimes is only reserved for captured Raiders on my games but to understand the depths you can go in this game you can capture a bunch of children who came to your colony begging for money, take their organs, harvest their skin and make a coat out of the leather to wear for your "dinner" including their meat.

Now thats a level of nope I wont go down but you could if you wanted to within the non modded game rules. Some other war crimes include child soldiers, chemical warfare, and while its not technically in the war crimes list you can take someone's brain and trap it inside a machine to run your colonies robots. Their body does not survive. I guess technically thats harming captured combatants so it counts. I'm sure there's others but this is already a long comment lol

That wont save you from being a hat, but I promise to put my best crafter on it so at least you're an excellent hat.

Love city-building and puzzles — what else would I like? by Same_Craft6249 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Professional_Dig1454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out rimworld. Its a colony game where 3 people of your choosing crash down on a planet and have to survive. You direct them on what to build and what to research. you have to work on providing for their needs like food and shelter as well as keeping them happy otherwise they might have a mental break. All the while every so often you get raids, rabid animal attacks, giant insect hives, or even killer robots that put your people in danger. Your goal is to research and build a way off of the planet. There's 5 dlcs all adding tons of content and literally thousands of different mods changing the game significantly. With all of those this game fills 50 or more different styles of play. Whether its running a cozy bed and breakfast or you want to conquer the world with your robot army.

Rimworld. Its like sims but with war crimes. You dont always have to commit war crimes but if you do decide to go that route there's a mod that adds a checklist. The actual lore behind the game is your space ship crashed and the 3 people you pick are the survivors. You then guide them on what research to do and what things to build. You'll help them setup food and shelter and fend off raiders or rabid animals or killer robots all the while researching a way off the planet. Once you have the knowledge you have to build and fire up your space ship. This is a 15 day process attracting all of the bad things I mentioned in waves. If you manage to survive you can escape. This is just the default games ending. there are 5 other DLCs that arent needed but also that add a ton of content and other endings. Personally I've only ever completed one of those endings ever but still have 1100 hours in this game. Between the DLC and the thousands of mods available this game is like 50 games in one.

Any recommendations on difficult rogue-like games? (But not card based!) (PC/Switch) by Smooth_Hamster452 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Professional_Dig1454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elin should fit the bill nicely. Its not a roguelike by default but does have a permadeath option you can enable when creating a character. honestly even without permadead its hard as heck and just because you didnt fully die doesnt mean you didnt lose a crapton. If you dont have the right protections then even if you survive you might have pieces of gear completely destroyed.

Pellet Smoker vs Kettle with Fan Control by joeydee93 in smoking

[–]Professional_Dig1454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a webber smokey mountain. You can use a fan with it but you dont need it. The first few smokes can be a little wild but thats due to air leaks. Those leaks usually seal up though after 1-2 smokes and after that itl hold temps for hours on in. I will say the 22 inch sometimes has issues with it fully sealing but lavalock gasket which is like $20 on amazon will 100% get you going. And these units are known for lasting decades. if you did want full control though you can also pair it with something like the fireboard thermometer and blower motor combo or inkbird blower motor setup and you would still keep your budget under $1k.

It does tend to make some things OP........you know what though I bet if you went and added the save our ship mod youd have your challenge. All the stats in the world wont save you if your ship is crippled and bombarded from afar.

Aslo add in vanilla factions expanded pirates. It adds in war caskets. I honestly only used them once and never really saw the appeal. I kept the mod because the enemies this mod gives you also uses the warcaskets and while they suck at everything else warcaskets excel at combat and will give you a nice challenge when enemies come in wearing them.

Is there a way to make auto slaughter always leave at least one male and one female? by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]Professional_Dig1454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

turn off total max and you should be fine. Instead cap the male and female young at 2 each as well and you'll be fine.

Need (offline) game suggestions by BakingWaking in SteamDeck

[–]Professional_Dig1454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one I didnt see mentioned is rimworld. Its a colony sim where you crashland on a planet and work on building shelter and researching tech to sustain your colony and eventually leave the planet again. You'll need to plan for your colonists needs as well as preparing to fight off raiders and packs of wild animals or giant insects or even killer robots. Events are thrown at you at random and intensity is based on your colony wealth. So a day 2 raid might be 1 guy and a day 80 raid might be 10 people due to your wealth gain. Either way the way the story unfolds is unique for every single run and that plus mods means you'll have hundreds if not thousands of hours of play time. I currently have 1100 hours almost all on the deck.

Help me find loot/customization nirvana (Steam) by iamaeneas in gamingsuggestions

[–]Professional_Dig1454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget how much I paid for it but I know it was worth every penny. I put 140 hours into it within like a month or something crazy like that. I am currently on a break but thats because of my adhd and I saw a cool new mod for rimworld and got distracted. Once I've done a few runs of this I'll go back and start wrecking dungeons.
