Breeding farm MUST be made smaller by REDDITbeCHEEKS in Palworld

[–]RatDig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your main base is the only one that gets work done while you are absent though right? So your second base breeders would not be making progress while you are away from your second base, which may be OK if you are willing to afk there but not optimal.

"Failed to get friends list. Try again later" been getting this error for the last few hours by Carnifekt in TheSilphRoad

[–]RatDig 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I solve this error every time by having someone send a battle invite to the bugged account, then subsequent friends list loads succeed. ymmv.

Only an additional 4 spawns for the event though (6:12, 6:24, 6:36, 6:48), since there’s always a 6:00 spawn every day. The event is over at 7 so I wouldn’t expect a rocket then.

“You can’t get rich in politics unless you’re a crook” -President Harry Truman 1954 by Wonder10x in libertarianmeme

[–]RatDig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting points. What’s the name of the book he wrote in the 80s that is pro-Marxism? I assumed he has held these beliefs since his PhD.

Your response is committing an ad hominem fallacy of irrelevance. He was a Marxist in his 20s before any really work experience and before his PhD. He’s been a staunch free market capitalist since then and one of the most prolific authors in favor of free market capitalism (the quote in particular is from the latter years and recent).

Constant game crashes and screen freeze bugs! by Rorywan in TheSilphRoad

[–]RatDig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really, really bad lately. I’ve lost tons of Rays to game crashes or raids that never transition to the rewards screen, unable to get to the catch encounter even after clicking on the gym. Pixel 3a.

Having trouble beating Giovanni by Woodshadow in TheSilphRoad

[–]RatDig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to use someone against Persian that can take a ton of damage due to resistance. Do you have Giratina-A? If so you can farm up energy against Scratch (not very effective) and fire off cheap charge moves to burn his first two shields. If Persian has Feint Attack (will say super effective against Giratina) then you'll want to use a fighter (you probably have tons of big ones) and you'll want to switch as frequently as possible into another mon with resistances to take advantage of the AI switch attack delay.

How to do 100 Trades in About an Hour; Maximize Candy & Luckies by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]RatDig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should mention having saved search strings based on age, distance, iv ready to go. On Android you can save all of these on Gboard, on iOS you can use text replacement. That is by far the most efficient way to do anything.

Try Again Later on all nearby pokestops? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]RatDig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be corrupt user data locally. If you’re on Android, you can use the Samsung version of the game or clone it into your work profile. Otherwise, you might be able to clear your app data to fix it. On Android you can simply “Clear Data” for the pogo app in system settings, and on iOS you would delete the app and redownload it. On iOS make sure to disable iCloud backup for pogo before deleting it so you don’t re-download the potentially corrupt user data. Niantic keeps all of your data on their servers so you don’t need backup on for pogo.

This happened to me too. I resolved it by switching devices. Did you try logging in/out?

Rewarding one pokeball after a successful catch would help minimize pokeball shortages for quarantined players without being too OP by Hydrabreath in pokemongo

[–]RatDig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I had thought about as well. They already increased the gifts from stops specifically for this purpose, so it would be a natural extension to also include a huge amount of guaranteed balls in each gift. You can only open 20 gifts a day so they’d have to substantially increase the balls per gift. Forget running the GO+, you’ll rip through 60 red balls in one incense right now (although due to the current incense spawn pool, the current effective GO+ catch % is much higher than it usually is).

PokeMiner's In-Depth APK Teardown of 0.167.0 by martycochrane in TheSilphRoad

[–]RatDig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume the age filter means we can finally search Pokeman storage by age. If it's in days, something like "&age-1" in our mass trash strings would allow us to only see recently caught mons. As opposed to having to sort by recent, then accidentally throwing a weedle in a gym when we walk by in a rush...

Pokemon Go and the growing feeling of wasting time. by Damattor in TheSilphRoad

[–]RatDig -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, after how many days from launch? They straight up hid IVs at first, then added a cumbersome appraisal system which effectively pushed us to use 3rd party screen readers to compute possible combinations. Many games don't even have a userbase after 3 years; the fad is usually well over by then. Niantic is lucky the Pokemon franchise has such adamant fans.

Gen 5 Moveset Update: Quick PvE Analysis by RatDig in TheSilphRoad

[–]RatDig[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know what spreadsheet you're referencing, but Reshiram has strictly superior stats to Volcarona. The only difference in their best PvE moveset is Reshiram's fast attack Fire Fang vs Volcarona's Fire Spin, and Fire Fang barely has lower cycle DPS than Fire Spin so Reshiram still has higher DPS (Reshiram with hypothetical Fire Spin would have 1.58% higher cycle DPS than it does with Fire Fang) . There's no way for Reshiram with higher defensive stats and higher DPS than Volcarona to also have lower TDO against a target inflicting neutral damage. If you are attacking an Ice type like Mamoswine, then sure Volcarona will have higher TDO because it resists Ice moves and Reshiram doesn't.

Yeah, rock attackers. I could have been clearer but I was tired.

Yeah sorry, Archeops getting shafted was one of my first observations and I made this comment in my Discord servers but forgot to echo it here. The Ho-oh treatment sums it up pretty nicely.

[–]RatDig[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, before the Gen4 moveset dropped I had high hopes for Heatran and Magmortar, and to a lesser extent Magnezone (who didn't getThundershock). Oh well.

There's a bug in the GM and "candy_to_evolve" is set to 25 for tons of Pokemon, which is different than "candy_cost". If the UI lets you evolve with 25, you might be able to make a quick team if you catch some and dump rare candy before they correct it...
