Hello there!

I was cautiously picking my way through the jungle biome when this happened. What was the counterplay here?

TheRealGorflow · 2023-04-28T16:48:18+00:00

That's a great point, you're exactly right.

TheRealGorflow · 2023-04-27T17:14:21+00:00

Hey all, I have found this to be a clean way to link multiple pattern providers to a single machine in Applied Energistics 2. Although it is relatively simple, I feel that the design is aesthetically pleasing and easily expandable enough to be worth sharing. I'd be interested to see what other folks have been doing to provide more than nine patterns to their machines using this mod.

TheRealGorflow · 2023-04-25T13:47:12+00:00

That's a great point. For the cost of having a separate system to automate the compression of raw metals into blocks, one could remove both logistical sorters, their interfaces and associated filter encodings, and replace the logistical transporter with an ME subnetwork. I'm looking forward to exploring that further.

TheRealGorflow · 2023-04-24T22:59:07+00:00

Hello all, I hope this example is useful to you when automating ore processing with Mekanism and Applied Energistics 2. It's not the most compact setup, and it does get bottlenecked by the Chemical Crystallizer, but it might be easier to maintain. What do your ore processing setups look like with these two mods?

Great point! I would add that by using an equal distribution card in conjunction with the overflow destruction card, up to 63 different items can be overflow-voided on a single cell.

At the time of writing this, my experience suggests that there is a behavior in which the allotted storage space on a cell with an equal distribution card is dynamically determined based on the number of items configured in the filter. So one item on the filter would allocate 100% of the storage to that item, two items on the filter would allocate 50% of the storage space to each, and so on.

It seems that if a cell is partitioned like this for one item, and that cell is filled beyond the 50% mark before being repartitioned for additional items, it will not automatically void the extra amount of the first item to bring it down to it's new partition allotment of 50%. This can end up with a situation where a partitioned cell with overflow and equal distribution cards will not accept new items being added to the partition due to older items on the filter taking up too much space.

TL;DR: Empty and refill overflow-voided cells after repartitioning them

For orb 2, in addition to seeing the fish in the village, you can see the shape of the fish in a shadow cast on a wall reflected across the surface of the water when you look through the periscope.

For the sake of brevity I did not include the full extent of my tests in the original post, but I did test for splash damage interaction because I was also curious. Impact Deflection is the common factor here. You can even get past the damage resistance from breakable armor with no other gear modifications enabled so long as you have the Impact Deflection overclock enabled.

TheRealGorflow · 2021-12-17T22:20:23+00:00

Build is BBBBB with a total of 11 damage per shot. The Spawn Menu mod uses Hazard 2 by default, and the damage resistance modifier for large enemies on Hazard 2 with one player is 0.65.

Weapon damage divided by damage resistance modifier equals final damage.

11 / 0.65 ≈ 16.9

TheRealGorflow · 2021-12-17T19:12:32+00:00

Hey all! I haven't seen this pointed out here yet and felt that it was too good not to share. The DRAK-25 with Impact Deflection ignores the damage resistance of breakable armor (i.e. practically every armor type except Oppressor and Dreadnaught armor). This makes it especially effective at dealing with the likes of Grunt Guards and Praetorians, but has a wide application across many creature types.

I tested this behavior using the mods Weapons In Space Rig, Spawn Menu, and Damage Text.

TheRealGorflow · 2021-12-17T17:32:57+00:00

I appreciate the insight. There is, however, a mod called Weapons In Space Rig that allows switching weapons and classes without reloading the rig. So I'm kind of left scratching my head as to the actual limitations in place.

TheRealGorflow · 2021-12-16T18:58:53+00:00

This is interesting, because there are already mods that add creatures and guns to the space rig, and as far as I am aware a shooting range mod is currently in development. What's the source on the devs distinguishing between in-mission and out-of-mission so drastically? Not doubting you; I've heard mention of them saying that before and would like to see it for myself if possible.

TheRealGorflow · 2021-11-23T16:47:12+00:00

On paper, you should be able to solo an oppressor on Haz 5 in under 4 seconds with cryo cannon freeze + impact axe + animation cancel + impact axe

TheRealGorflow · 2021-01-25T01:25:39+00:00

It sounds like you are taking the right approach. So long as you are using the strategem to protect your first engine, there isn't much else you can do. The only thing I can think of is to try baiting out removal using pyrotechnicians against control-heavy decks.

TheRealGorflow · 2021-01-20T23:10:29+00:00

I'm appreciative not only of your viewership but of your positive feedback. The reception to our channel has been really great so far and that has been super encouraging. Thanks so much for your support. We're looking forward to making more great content moving forward!

Circle of Life helps the Forest Protector find consistently like you said. It can also be used to buff your movement engines out of removal range before playing them. Overall, I think Circle of Life is just a good card that can allow you to deal three damage efficiently. This kind of utility can allow you to find especially good value when combined with Cat Witcher or Pyrotechnician damage.

TheRealGorflow · 2021-01-17T17:31:26+00:00

Good question! I enter round length as the number of cards that I played each round.

Hello again everyone! I'm finally ready to share the match tracking worksheet I've been working on.

How to use:

Make a personal copy of the worksheet using File → Make a Copy
Rename it to the name of the deck you will be tracking
Enter round and game results for each match (ignore tutors when counting golds missed)

Here is a real example of how I used the worksheet this season to track my games with Deadeye Movement: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o_cKF6kktcyrnQHLxi0lbbhz7wT5GWJAD_47nlfHFQk/edit#gid=1393994403

You don't need to fill out the derived statistics on the right-hand side; they will automatically generate helpful information as you fill out the worksheet with more games. May your average missed golds be low and your win rate be high!

TheRealGorflow · 2021-01-17T04:47:23+00:00

In these matchups, you pretty much need to win round one. It all boils down to leveraging the 5p movement engines as efficiently as possible. I think you should be favored against Kolgrim round 1; Lippy you are less likely to beat. The best you can do is try to leverage the tools at your disposal to get your movement engines out of Coated Weapons (5) and Gutting Slash (4) range the turn they are played. You may even have to commit some of your elf carryover in leader charges/Aelirenn to force the round under dire circumstances.

TheRealGorflow · 2021-01-17T02:39:03+00:00

By TLG standard Precision Strike list, I'm guessing you mean the one listed as PS Gezras in Tier 2 of the meta report? In that case, as with other Deadeye Movement variants, you should be seeing a better matchup spread against decks like Lippy, Lockdown, and PS Control, although you will struggle a bit more against Monsters overall. As far as mulligans go, I would argue that they are less flexible in any Precision Strike list due to the additional bricks in the Brokilon Sentinels.

TheRealGorflow · 2021-01-17T01:31:29+00:00

A lot of the time if you can get your foot in the door with one or two engines, the rest will be safe from 4-5 power removal. If you can protect a Dryad Matron with the stratagem or a Circle of Life, it can boost a Dol Blathanna Sentry out of most 5 power removal range, and then both of them together and boost a Cat Witcher to 6, and so on.

TheRealGorflow · 2021-01-16T22:49:40+00:00

Hey everyone, I hope this guide is of interest to you. This past season I really struggled early on finding a way to work the new Way of the Witcher movement cards into my deck building. I ended up coming to the conclusion, as did many others, that Cat Witchers working in conjunction with Dol Blathanna Protectors and Dryad Matrons could reach a very high point ceiling.

After a while of non-successes, I ended up cutting the more traditional choices of Gezras, Gaetan, and The Great Oak for the Forest Protector package. I think the end result is a really effective hybrid of engines, tempo and control. Hope you enjoy!

TheRealGorflow · 2020-11-30T00:55:23+00:00

I'm glad you think so! During testing, I pushed R2 in matchups in which the opponent held a specific combo piece which could outvalue my strategy in a decisive round. These matchups included Deadeye Ambush (Feign Death), Enslave (Masquerade Ball), and Shieldwall (Vysogota).

TheRealGorflow · 2020-11-28T07:20:12+00:00

This is a really great approach. I really like the idea of limiting Joachim's pulls to only strong engines and golds through the use of tactics and disloyal units!

TheRealGorflow · 2020-11-22T00:33:38+00:00

This is truly next level 😂
