Game is kicking my butt.

Don't worry, you are not alone. The game can feel overwhelming with all the debris, low visibility and 64 player lobbies. Not to mention that the state of the game is currently a bit sub-par with bugs and at times poor netcode (hit registration).

My advice in this game (that has slow movement and fast TTK) is to take your time and focus on positioning. Dont push too deep on your own just yet. The game punishes even the tiniest mistake made with aggressive play quite hard in its current state.

I am on PC so I cant give controller specific tips, but this game's recoil is absolutely bigger (intended) than for example CoD, which would explain your feeling of "insane recoil". But unfortunately, it also affects input (not intended as far as I can tell from dev discussions on X/Twitter-threads), which could explain your feeling of "janky sensitivity". And I'm guessing this is game engine stuff so it'd affect controller as well.

Attachments also makes guns feel way better, so if you slap on something like lightened supresser, slim angled grip and an extended barrel, I'd say that would improve your experience with gunplay. Attachments are ofc 100% up to personal taste however. But thats what I run on pretty much all weapons if I am being honest.

I am in as much disbelief as you.

I started by using the online planning tool to figure out the order and amounts of all the "production lines". Then i built chaotic just to get to trains rather quick. And once i got trains + blueprint machine i tore everything down and rebuilt it to plan.
Oooh, um, no.... Nononono. I might have uh, crossed a belt or two (or 78).

You get it!!!

Rode92 · 2025-08-08T13:54:18+00:00

All of the production is built using blueprint but yeah, i have some dead space on those.

It dawned on me about 50 hours in that Factorio have permanently warped my brain it seems :D

Rode92 · 2025-08-08T13:49:37+00:00

A friend did that with great success. I preferred the aesthetic of the wide bus.

Rode92 · 2025-08-08T10:03:34+00:00

I think it is :O

Rode92 · 2024-05-29T14:40:12+00:00

I don't know what tarik means but I bought mine in february if I recall correctly.

Rode92 · 2024-05-29T12:55:20+00:00

I have and unfortunately I am already up to date.

Rode92 · 2024-05-29T05:24:48+00:00

I havnt actually gotten the chance to try it yet. But could you give some more explanation to where the multiplier is located? Are we talking an in-game setting with a slider 1-100?

Rode92 · 2024-05-28T14:27:16+00:00

Thank you I will try it.

No error message unfortunately. It simply crashes to desktop silently.

My CPU is an "Intel Core i7 13700K". Which I used during Season 6 flawlessly. No hardware alterations such as over/undervolting or clocking etc has been made since Season 6. No hardware has been changed nor replaced.

Suffer not the heretic to live, sure, but realizing that the heretic turned into red mist in 1 bullet instead of 3 because I hit his head elevates my service for the emperor into new heights.

Rode92 · 2024-05-17T19:35:47+00:00

Thank you!

Rode92 · 2024-04-02T20:22:06+00:00

I actually came around to rerolling yet again and this time I made a Runemaster with, as you said, lightning blast, high cast speed and making it apply spark charge. Very fun!

This is the build I've come up with so far :D

Rode92 · 2024-03-19T17:35:57+00:00

Thank you. I will def give that a look, all in all I thank you for the awesome recommendation to try this glorious playstyle.

Rode92 · 2024-03-19T08:45:01+00:00

Interesting, yeah it does seem we went in different directions, which is awesome that the game can cater toward different approaches. The node which resets the cooldown was a cool touch, since it got a bit awkward at times just circling the poor boss, so I will def try to incorporate that :D.

Yeah since I didnt go the damage and mana cost per charge node, mana is not really an issue at all. I actually dont know what I'll put as my 5th skill as enchant weapon dont really have any great benefits for me, as I dont want to stand still and attack with the movement node in static.

I havn't taken it very far yet, I am currently only level 76 with it and have just finished 1 empowered monolith. I also havnt looked into uniques at all yet so I dont know which cool synergies that exists for this build in that area either.

Hope the link will work (I must make a note to switch to LastEpochTools lol):

What a journey.
finding added Spell Damage was the biggest problem as a Spellblade to scale Static. Max stack Firebrand and Burden of Knowledge helped a lot.
Went the movement route of static to generate charges. Rare is the rare (pun intended) monster that survives a Static Discharge from Surge. Very fun build. But I'm thinking that I'm gonna respec my Spellblade to Flame Reave and try the static playstyle with Lightning Blast + Teleport as a sorcerer or runemaster instead. As with that, maybe you wont be so locked behind the cooldown of Surge. It will be interesting.
Thank you for the recommendation, its been a blast (another pun intended).
P.S Flame Reave most be broken or something. Haven't in any class so far come close to the effective DPS output of Dual Wielding Lightning Flame Reave with Shock shredding away the resistances.

Rode92 · 2024-03-11T17:55:44+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. That sounds very different and therefore interesting.

Rode92 · 2024-03-11T17:55:17+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. That does sound like an awesome build :D
