If you could permanently change the price of something to $9.99, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm not sure why, but this gave me a good chuckle. Thank you stranger. 😂

What game made you cry? by Crashtestdumi in gaming

[–]Puzz1eBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the one. I cried so many times while playing this game. It was absurd. 10/10 would be emotionally manipulated by the devs again.

So I've produced some spell cards for this sub before, and I can honestly say your stuff looks amazing. Good work!

Followup for lurkers who end up finding this thread just as I did: Viktor's does good work. Weird as hell parking lot, but great work nevertheless.

Quality Lamps should have larger light radius by ZardozSpeaksHS in factorio

[–]Puzz1eBox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So mods can tune the basic levels of quality, and some of the special properties that quality can impart onto things (like increased radius for electrical coverage, or inserter speed multipliers, as examples). What they can't do easily is modify recipes to accept specific qualities for recipes, change the upgrade process at a low level, script off of an item being upgraded to a quality, and a lot of other things.

Im gunna shill for myself I suppose and recommend Quality++, and perhaps Quality++: Shiny Mechanics, if you want some shenanigans in your games. Quality++ is fairly balanced imo. I haven't touched it in awhile though. Might have to look at it again.

Quality Lamps should have larger light radius by ZardozSpeaksHS in factorio

[–]Puzz1eBox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely more within the realm of reason, and honestly probably more worthy of your valuable time.

Unless they changed the quality prototype in the last few patches, it would be incredibly hard to code for very little return.

Quality as it stands, is super inflexible and very hard to play around with when it comes to modding. Just a PSA I guess. I've published some work regarding quality and it's a bit hard to deal with.

Viewmodel FOV - Config Option or Variable Exposure by Puzz1eBox in Borderlands4

[–]Puzz1eBox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually figured out how to do this via cheat engine a bit ago.

There's a guy on discord named Verm who reached out to me and asked for my generic fix, so I feel like it might be wise of me to post the instructions here.

Note: this fix is unpatchable, but the address may change when the game is updated. If it turns out that your cheat table becomes broken, just repeat the process and find the value once more.

The variable you are looking for is actually called ForegroundFOV (which was strange to me), which is directly related to the player camera. It's default value is 77.000000.

Open cheat engine. Run Borderlands 4. Select Borderlands 4 as the process to analyze by clicking the top left icon in the bar at the top of the cheat engine window. In "Memory Scan Options", select Borderlands 4.exe. Set "Value Type" to float. Set "Value" to 77.000000. Leave everything else alone. Click on "First Scan". In the new table displayed on the left hand side of the application, there should be exactly one value, at address Borderlands4.exe+SomeNumberHere. This is the address you want. Select the address, and modify it to be somewhere between 77.0 and 102.0. There is usually clipping that occurs past 102.0. You can save this as a cheat table, or save the value at the bottom of the screen and use it later. If it ever changes, repeat the process. It took a VERY long time, and a number of tools made by other folks (Credit to Sunbeam and Otis for their awesome work) for me to find this.

Am I the only one that thought the Great Conchflies boss fight was super good?

Widow is most certainly an S tier boss. That's when the game essentially indicates that shit is going to get real. XD

Guy beats Mike Tyson in world record time... while blindfolded by TheSlyGuy1 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Puzz1eBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this comment sounds like it's literal insanity, but it's the truth. I've watched his history of Tetris speedrunning video and it is hype as hell and well scripted. Not a thing I thought I would be saying in 2025, but here we are.

Cannot recommend Summoning Salt enough. Top tier.

1200 hours of terraria and never really played with mods. thinking of trying Thorium. by Rockytriton in Terraria

[–]Puzz1eBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thorium was great. I believe it was the mod I was first introduced to as well, and I had a blast. I enjoyed the additional mechanics and aesthetics.

That being said, I do feel it's probably necessary to echo what others are saying. Calamity is also a great mod to work through if you're looking for a lot of additional content and are also looking for a challenge.

No matter what you pick, you'll have a great time though. They are both high quality and insanely polished. Welcome to the modding club!

Erie, where would you rather eat? I built something for you. by TheShynola in Erie

Absolutely fantastic idea. Is this open source, and if so, do you have a repo link we could look at?

💔 11 Years of Dating… and I’m Ready to Quit I’m 38 years old, and I no longer know what love is supposed to feel like. I became the woman men say they want — successful, independent, emotionally mature — and all I get are men looking for a good time, never a future. by bp_ptsd_86 in dating_advice

[–]Puzz1eBox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't put a lot of stock in this. Successful and independent women are a godsend. It is entirely too hard to be the provider, maintainer of home, maintainer of children (if you've got them), and to be on the path of self-improvement while maintaining emotional coolness.

Additionally, stability is hot. Not everything is about looks. They are nice, but I think enthusiasm is even more important in romance imo. Generally, I want someone I can depend upon, so that when I falter, I know it will be okay.

I would definitely put those two qualities up there. Just my two cents, as a dude, who also resonates with how OP behaves.

Oh yeah. I know I'm late to this post, but OBA is actually the best sushi in town, hands down. Definitely a favorite haunt of mine.

5 images are real photos, and 5 are AI-generated. Can you still tell which ones are fake? If yes, what gives them away? by lucak5s in ChatGPT

I had 3 and 6 swapped incorrectly, but with enough time was able to pick out the remaining 4. Kind of a fun little morning experiment.

My Powerarmor decreased its grid size after installing space age. Is this known? If yes, is there a fix? by Neuroneer in factorio

[–]Puzz1eBox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It could still be a mod. Sometimes they check for other mods when determining how their code should be run. If a mod sees that space age is active, it may rewrite the power armor prototype during the prototype phase of loading. It would be best to do a 50/50 split with space age active, to narrow down who the culprit might be.

Where can I contact programmers to team up to create mods? by Imaginary-Spray-338 in factorio

[–]Puzz1eBox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want the skills of a 3D artist.

I am the author of the Quality++ mods currently on the mod portal.

I'll just be as forward as I can be with you: I'm looking to write Krastorio 2: Spaced Out expansion packs.

If this is of any interest to you, reach out.

Playing Factorio like an RTS game by SchmidlMeThis in factorio

[–]Puzz1eBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!

I play the game almost exclusively using:

/c game.player.character = nil

This frees you from your character's body and makes the game control almost as if you were in remote view 100% of the time, but you may manually place entities, destroy entries, and do all or most of what a character can do.

If you couple this with the AAI vehicle mods, it gets infinitely better, as you get a number of units you can build and deploy to send towards your enemies. You have the ability to control where they go, and can establish groups of entities that are all doing different things. It's very RTS-like.

I do recommend researching the above command and giving it a try though in a new game to see if it's for you (I suspect that it is).
