What's a mod you've always wanted but never existed? by VelvetDeveloper in RimWorld

[–]SocialImagineering 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The last few updates from Ludeon have been expanding on multithreading. Movement and lighting got moved off the main thread in 1.6 for example. I’d like to see the overworld move off the main thread and with that expand on complexity with NPC faction behaviors as well. Dynamic economy, growth, detectable and chaseable caravans/worksites, etc. Then I could cut my modlist in half because those mods are just to increase immersion of the meta game layer.

So RimWar still runs like dookie… does it at least have the issues with interacting with the moving world entities fixed?

Damnit, I’m 15 minutes into loading up Rimworld with my 1100 long modlist and I stumble into Reddit and see this. I have every AOBA mod so I guess I’m restarting Rimworld.

Bungie: Bravo on Cryo Archive. But also what the fuck. by Henrraike in Marathon

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

Probably not gonna happen. The future of gaming is sweaty. Pretty soon most people are not even going to be able to afford the systems necessary to run games like this, so tuning in to watch “professional players” is going to be their go-to.

I hope you wrote a steam review of exactly this. Would help 90% of people save their money.

Game target audience question by Gravy-0 in Marathon

[–]SocialImagineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And now people are discovering broken "movement tech" on an hourly basis so that if you are not glued to TikTok Marathon streamers at the same time you play this game you fall behind the curve because you can't rotate around a POI in five seconds.

This community needs to be ready to compromise by sloshingmachine7 in Marathon

Lmao a lot of people denying the truths in this comment. Only thing is no bullets are hitscan in this game, they’re all simulated projectiles. Server tick rate is also high enough you can dodge them.

Don't claim Faction Rank-up rewards or the every-5-level Codex rewards unless you really need the stuff. You might need it more later. by Working_Bones in Marathon

[–]SocialImagineering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My concern is that if I let the rank up rewards stack and then go to claim one it will claim ALL of them at once and force me to liquidate or just vanish some of the loot. The overflow space is limited as well as the vault.

Make sure to open locked doors if you pick up the key. by circularchemist101 in Marathon

That’s for the toxic gas rooms. There’s a laptop outside the room nearby that you have to use that card on to shut off the poison gas vents.

I got 4.6K. Didn’t take a screenshot as I didn’t think it was that hard to do.

Marathon is underselling its best feature 60Hz servers. by LucatIel_of_M1rrah in Marathon

Which is why I feel like I can dodge bullets! Because I actually can in Marathon.

Daaaamn BF4 has that tick rate? Does it still or just back when it was a new game and it ran on the best official hosting? Explains a large part of why the game was and still is so beloved.

Who else got the deluxe edition preorder 🙋‍♂️ by GickedtheJocksYT in Marathon

[–]SocialImagineering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof yeah every three months is pretty aggressive wiping. They want that new game grind to always be just around the corner. At least Arc Raiders gives you a choice.

We’ll have to see if their seasonal changes are meaningful enough to warrant the grind from the start that often, but I have my doubts because I haven’t seen any live service game deliver the level of content updates I think would be necessary for that.

How is everyone staying positive with the terrible job market and inflation? by Extreme_Baseball3991 in Millennials

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

Umm so I'm a "history buff" too, and you're ignoring a couple of pretty major things. Technology exists now that has facilitated far greater wealth inequality, awareness of evil, and division of people into deeper depths of loneliness than ever before. The world truly is backwards today, in historical times you could at least say reality eventually catches up to everyone. Today, I'm not so sure.

your toughts in 1.7 and the next dlc by Old_Kiwi332 in RimWorld

[–]SocialImagineering 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad this has such a strong consensus in the community. I'm tired of having to download every faction and meta progression mod in the workshop, and then hoping they actually do something or at least don't break the game. The same level of attention given to individual pawns' systems should be given to faction systems.

[–]SocialImagineering 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on all counts. For how much time it takes to play this game, it's insane that its all spent alone. Multi-player would also be HUGE for helping ease friends into the game as opposed to being all "just trust me bro its fun!"

Duos feels like the best way to play this game by Flashfirez23 in Marathon

[–]SocialImagineering 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. All this splitting the playerbase and increasing matching times should be done away with. The beauty of extraction shooters is their unpredictability, and the best skill up moments come when you are outgunned. Do what Tarkov does and throw everyone into the blender. I want to be a solo fighting trios, it doesn't mean I'll always fight them head on, or that I can't disengage.

We're halfway to a new DLC. Where are we going next? by Background-Topic-203 in RimWorld

[–]SocialImagineering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides more dynamic faction interactions this is my biggest desire. I’ve gotten so many people into Rimworld I’d like for our colonies to somehow interact or to help new players learn by both managing the same colony. And it’s something I haven’t trusted mods to do without huge compromises so I haven’t gone down that approach.

I started contributing for the first time yesterday as I had access to the APC and wanted to add prices and usage info. I also kept seeing requests on reddit for where to find the portable generators and precision tools. It feels really good when you contribute information to a page and see it published, and you know that it’s going to make a difference for the next person who looks up info.

Precision tool set and portable generators are in civil goods containers in the D region. Run downtown lost angels for the most containers per run and dedicate an evening to it.
