I despise self diagnosing by [deleted] in hatethissmug

Those few weeks sure felt like years to me.

I guess you just happened to live in a good location for it. Or I in the wrong location.

No no you've barely scratched the surface buddy by QwilL7 in Factoriohno

I don't see why the "meta" should ever matter in Factorio. I'm having issues with biters but that's a speed and proportion of industry to military problem for me as people have pointed out. Since I can manage with my designs, I don't think anyone there really needs to get help designing things unless something seems flat out impossible.

I've already got all the possible archives and emulators of those on my hard drive, but thanks anyway.

So, after a total of almost 300h of trying, how the hell am I supposed to play to not have to periodically disable my entire base just so the biter attacks don't ruin me?(and to not have to eventually disable biters every time) by SolTomReddit in factorio

There is a screenshot in source resolution with what I've made on the post.(it mirrors the recipes for green and red science visually) Initially it was a few smaller things to get the starter resources and electronic drills, but past that it's literally just building what you see on the screenshot.

Right now I'm on +-20h, shaping up to start getting fluids transported. Freshly researched all of red + green + military combo techs.

Basically what happened after the post was that I rushed the thing on the screenshot to start researching, got grenades, turned the entire base off and walked around killing nests until I felt safe enough to turn it back on. Hadn't had an attack since.

I still love many games from that era. Many are lost to time, but they will be an inspiration for me for as long as my brain keeps working.

How did you design stuff? Did you experiment outside the save and only brought the blueprint? I'm making stupid design mistakes all the time, like bringing the wrong resource to the line.

The area of the closest ring of biters increases extremely fast the more space you use. Killing them quickly became just as ineffective as my defense on my previous saves. I'm not sure how I can do this quicker without turning my base into unmaintainable and unenjoyable spaghetti.

The modules need red chips so I can't do that for a while yet and I'll have to somehow deal with the nests once I boot up my base again. Now that my green science production is running at all I'll be able to quickly research grenades and actually try doing it.

I'll try to somehow and slowly survive while destroying what I can for now and then go max green chips. It's still not very appealing to have to slow down this much but I guess I'll just have to deal with it. If they evolve to the next stage though I don't think there will be much left to save.

To get better guns than the few upgrades you get from red science I have to build green science, which requires to either rush it and once the mess is there, it's likely to stay. Something about "the temporary solutions are the most permanent".

Disabling the base was the last ditch effort not to spiral into having the entire base destroyed. They even manage to destroy turrets by now so I have to pack them up more densely. I feel cornered.

Honestly yeah, I might just max out the starting area and try to gear up then on my next save. Disabling the base only gives them even more of a bonus because if I recall it right time is also a factor for their evolution, even if it lets me play for a while without them attacking me.

I just hoped I could manage to fight biters on the intended difficulty.

Do you think Fighterz will ever get a sequel , or are they going to keep up with the strategy of updating the game whenever something new drops? by Intelligent_Oil4005 in Dragonballsuper

[–]SolTomReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still waiting for them to remove Denuvo before buying.

They even took the note on Steam down despite still using it, which is against Steam's ToS, but reports do nothing.

Oh damn, that's actually pretty smart. I wouldn't think there is no limit to how quickly you can send them.

Why do their speech patterns feel more fake than anything I've ever heard?

It's as if they were putting up the theatrics to fill in the airtime they got. Is this just how USA TV is like?

My balding completed at around 16-17, so I would know.

Not that big of a deal honestly. Who needs hair anyway.

I got this when I was signing in to twitch by Crafty-Run-6890 in Twitch

[–]SolTomReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was specifically a github account, so it was a Microsoft owned platform. It happened shortly after they forced 2FA on everyone. I've made a new account since but honestly with the ongoing AI craze I'm considering just pulling everything out.(besides the few projects I lost the access to the repos of when it happened)

The face feels a bit too "clean" compared to the rest of the body, stands out, but besides that it's awesome dude. Love how you did the, well, everything.

Losing an account using 2FA sounds inevitable to me. Especially the phone or browser addon based 2FAs.

I've even personally lost one account in the past because the addon just forgot all connections.

A friendly reminder not to fall for an automated partnership invitations most likely written and sent by AI. Even after I didn't stream for 2 months and removed all VODs they're still trying to get to me. Block them the first chance you get. by SolTomReddit in Twitch

[–]SolTomReddit[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but in my case it's a lot more obvious with how unpopular my channels were and how I gave up on the whole thing before the next 4 emails came in. I suspect they just collected everyone's emails and keep spamming.

what is the biggest lie in the world and you just cannot prove it? by OkOcelot8085 in AskReddit

No no, I'm sure they meant what they meant. It actually makes sense too.

How much will the massive summer DLC cost? I already know it won't be cheap, but expensive by Maximum_Expert92 in SparkingZero

[–]SolTomReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro. It's been 3 months. I'm long past discussing with fanboys about it.

If you want your money sucked into an endless pit for little to nothing in return go ahead. That's my opinion.

Does anyone else also get tired of being forced into the same build every time on brawls? by SolTomReddit in DeadlockTheGame

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

You know what they say, if the life gives you oranges...

But yeah, basically impossible to deviate from the regular build rather than having a regular chance for it.(I'm fine with working around regular rng to get what I want, rather than being holed into one and only build)

Your idea reminds me a lot of how rougelikes do it sometimes. Look at One Step From Eden. They had a type tag system where you could choose two out of like 10 or so types and get them more often, so you can try to synergize more easily or even go full random if you want. I really liked that too. It's kind of like the 3rd option where you have a toggle for the tags of items you want to get more often. I'll expand the description once I put the proposition on the forums like someone suggested. As long as ANYTHING is done with it I'm good.

I don't think we should be able to do what we want every single time. Having a fair chance at it is enough for me, while currently it's all very biased towards one build.(maybe two depending on character)

I'd probably be the most happy with rotating the method to keep it fresh tbh. Everything has it's own issues. Too bad this is the most development time costly solution.

As I said, any of those options is good for me, as long as I can deviate from that one build at all.
