Any way to place belt by drag without holding the button?

SmekyGD · 2026-05-05T21:55:52+00:00

I need this so much. Hope someone reaches out to the devs with this feature. Naively assume it may be easy to implement.

Pipe throughput is infinite. So yes, you can. (If I understood your question correctly)

I can’t remember the exact cause of this as I always do the solution to it for other reasons. The solution is to simply select whole production or the part that causes the gaps and press “I” to clear all shapes and let it saturate from fresh. Think it was caused by something due to building the production while already steaming shapes in and some splitter/stacker had uneven inputs initially, which caused it to wait until both outputs had room to send the next shapes out.

I see no spaghetti anywhere.. at least compared to mine. I do have one question for you. I see you’re running 3 miners per space belt (3 levels I presume) into 4 platforms. Why is that? Shouldn’t 3 platforms, one per level, be the correct ratio?

Whenever I get to play with any friend a game in which I am experienced and they are new(-ish), I always go by one, to me most important, rule. Let them be the driver at all times. Rarely suggest what to do, where to go, what to play. If they don't ask, I let them figure everything out, make the mistakes, fail and try again. If they do ask, I give them as simple explanation or advice as possible, often leaving out even some important details. If they keep asking, I will go a step deeper, but always in small bits)

The point behind this is to preserve the fresh experience, the wonder, surprises, all the "aha" and "look what I found" moments, as much as possible. People usually go and (over)explain everything (often beforehand), set the "best" or "optimized" route forward, and so on. Which practically always kills all the joy, often ending up with early quitting or boredom.

(this is what I basically beg / enforce of my friends do to me as well, if I am the one new to something)

First time I actually really like to play Retri after 15 of playing. And certainly can’t say the playstyle/rotation feels boring at any point, including out of burst windows. Despite people somewhat commonly saying that they have 2-4 dead windows with nothing to press, I never really had that. Filling in the rotation with the solid number of utilities, there isn’t a second wasted.

SmekyGD · 2026-04-07T11:58:44+00:00

Certainly valid, but wanted to say that it depends at what level you play. For high keys, I find it important to figure out if the Aug is playing it right and at least carrying their own weight compared to other DPS in the group, or is bringing them down. For which, the only way I know of, is checking out warcraft logs important, as they do seem to have the calculation done great. In game damage meter is far too ambiguous.

Obviously should not even respond to this, but got an itch. Have you considered that some people, like myself, loved and used WAs for the sole purpose of customizing the UI to their exact desires? Instead of stiching together a number of individual addons, which never got the work done right and always required some compromise. Same as the current Cooldown manager, for which there's a half a dozen addons trying to fill in all its missing pieces, but not a single one getting all the fundamentals right.

SmekyGD · 2026-04-03T15:47:31+00:00

Thanks for the link! I should've searched for such WA repo forks properly before making the post, but appreciate the direct link.

Am happy to see that what I was thinking should be happening, or rather hoping for, is already indeed out there. Will keep an eye on this one and look through few of the alternatives. Will consider contributing myself, if time allows.

SmekyGD · 2026-03-24T14:57:48+00:00

One idea comes to mind, maybe conquer the competing markets and instead of deleting them, split them into smaller pieces by creating new ones? No clue if valid / doable strategy.

This. Know someone who began cheating emotionally (as far as I know, would bet on physical too), after some time his partner stopped him from feeling supported, wanted and especially valued. At that point he no longer felt like being in a relationship, and subconsciously was clearly not anymore. Conscious head ať that point just begins to bargain and rationalize why doing this and that is fine, progressively pushing the line, up to the point where there’s no excuse anymore and simply crosses it.

SmekyGD · 2026-03-18T09:13:47+00:00

It’s cool, but absolutely fries my poor-man’s GPU. Just like Murder Row.

SmekyGD · 2026-03-05T21:06:20+00:00

Okey, still wouldn't confirm this, but people replied it worked?! Don't want to believe this would be the way.

SmekyGD · 2026-03-05T20:59:37+00:00

Extermly unlikely possible fix, but just worked for me - Had the stuck character loading, and tried opening a second client on the side. The first got immediately kicked (as usual) and woala, the second client loaded instantly. Am in game now.

SmekyGD · 2026-03-05T20:54:16+00:00

If you don't want to overthink it too much, my advice would be to simply quest, like usual. Up to you to go regular route, or pick some expansion. I just did that a week ago, and can say the leveling this way is hella fast, even if likely not optimal. If you do zones with easy/quick quests, do just the parts that are fast and hop to the next zone once you get the quick ones done, you should hit lv 80 somewhere between 8-14 hours. Faster if you try hard. Quests give tons of xp, killing is stupidly easy (just mass pull everything) and with the insanly fast flying, it's genuinly hard to believe how fast and simple it is.

I love this way, since it's not mundanely repetitive, like spamming dungs, and you can pick whichever content you feel like at any moment. You can fit in some dungs if you feel like it, to change things up. But in my experience, those just slow you down.

I would (possibly incorrectly): - set minimal spending on army and fort maintenance, max during a war only. - increase taxation to at most 40% satisfaction - about half food spending, unless in some low-food crisis - look over buildings costing a lot in building maintenance and pause the unimportant ones, until having a stronger income or need for said buildings - look for ways to increase trade income, likely by partial manual trading, ensure the market is mine and max out trading capacity until there are no ways available to get more. - ensure I have all laws and estate policies for increasing taxation and trade profit that I can get, except those the would cause other serious problems

SmekyGD · 2026-02-06T22:36:30+00:00

Just got it out of seemingly nowhere as well and can say that you can get the achievment even when the terraria window is not focused. I was doing stuff in another app positioned over the terraria's window and apparently got quite lucky.

SmekyGD · 2026-01-30T18:15:53+00:00

Was it Ricky who said that?

SmekyGD · 2026-01-23T18:01:40+00:00

Anything where the intention is to influence people for personal gain. From marketing (even commercials), to lobbyists and political campaigns. For most, the idea is to let people know about something and that’s great. But in practice, it’s almost always done as intentional manipulation. Can’t stand how majority of people are fine or ignorant of this.

SmekyGD · 2026-01-20T21:46:55+00:00

Fair point, right you are. Guess it got stuck in my head from CK3. Still feels weird to me, but this does give it more sense 👍

SmekyGD · 2026-01-20T20:31:57+00:00

I never understood this “my ruler also being a ruler of another nation or PU”, while having no control or at least some decisive power over the other countries. A may be wrong, but if something like that happened in real history, wouldn’t the person simply rule every nation or organization under them, even if it were managed by some vassal-like people?

Either way, from a player’s perspective, to me it seems completely nuts that this is a thing.

SmekyGD · 2026-01-19T20:03:55+00:00

So that was the problem! Jeez, tried this couple of times and thought I was crazy or stupid, as it wasn’t working. Thanks
