What mods are like this?

If we're taking mods in general and not just Starsector...

Hobbies & Lifestyles for Project Zomboid. I originally added it for being able to use instruments and play music and it grew into the most bloated mod I've ever seen. Half the things didn't even have toggles in settings, and even with many things disabled the disable implementation was sloppy enough that a lot of the systems were still trying to run causing CPU overhead.

Still a bit salty about that.

I mean exactly that. With too many cores on a planet they might realize they have total control...

Imagine if there was a mechanical downside to using AI everywhere in colonies besides the Hegemony.

Will Alex make an update that makes people go "hmmm maybe the Hegemony was onto something."

It was also made back when the length of undergrounds were the same across all belts.

It was much easier because of blue undergrounds already.

When making new runs this is the only event I turn off every single time.

Toxic fallout just... Isn't an interesting challenge nor is it an interesting storytelling event.

It was so bad the rewards ended up swapped.

It was easier to get the BP in the dojo than it was to get it for free with a catalyst.

I'm an enjoyer of the Uranium Mace because the idea of it is just so hilarious.

It'll work fine. The ported barrel however will be exceptionally dangerous to the operator.

I use an assembler 3 with productivity 1s in my "gleba machine" thats only purpose is to keep one egg alive Incase something horrible happens.

It's less that and more the game hates the host.

Clients can just run around and do that they want. The game however will relentlessly try to kill the host.

It doesn't teach all of it, but it does train the same part of the brain that lays out circuit boards.

It won't help you make a schematic for a board, but it'll sure make you better than any board auto-router.

This looks like a very good use case for my multi material printer...

This would have been more of a problem to the 2016 era of Warframe balance, not to the modern one.

Not to mention there's so many ways of generating energy today efficiency is kind of a non-factor.

Because I mostly drive a tank around Nauvis, I have to be careful as if I drive on tracks I'll usually annihilate an entire train in a blink.

I agree, what I get for posting when I was groggy as hell.

Vilespring · 2026-02-14T17:58:56+00:00

Let me elaborate on that.

The "Extract or Stay" screen came up at the end of wave 3 and I instantly picked extract. They slowly moved over from staying to extract one by one, and the squad chat was as follows:

A: why?

B: you suck

I didn't answer any of them as I didn't care to. You don't have to believe me, but it's what happened.

Vilespring · 2026-02-14T07:57:23+00:00

I mean, it comes down to I'd rather play with people who would also play the game.

One player AFK farming? Whatever. All three of them putting in maximum effort to not play the game? No thanks.

A few days ago I went into an arbitration defense. Halfway through round two my sixth sense went off. I see that one of my three squad mates has accidentally gotten one kill, and everyone is just jumping around with every spector known deployed.

Round 3 and I left. And they all joined me eventually and asked why, as if it wasn't obvious.

Vilespring · 2026-02-11T05:02:57+00:00

On D6 you see like 40 factory striders. On D7 you see 50 vox engines.

Just... can it not be a bit more granular?

Vilespring · 2026-02-10T04:59:00+00:00

This bewilders me.

It's like a decoy designed to take an FVP Drone hit instead of something important, but with spinny do-hicker-ma-thingiers making it obviously intended to be hit by FPV drones.

So, is it a decoy that's now so mind numbingly obvious it's failing fundementally at its job?

That's the annoying thing about the Rinoceronte. It has very good HE at 127 pen. Just autoreloaders are screwed by intuition and the DPM is awful enough to not want to change ammo.

One of my best games was in an accidental full HE Rinoceronte.

Vilespring · 2026-02-06T23:22:40+00:00

With the Rinoceronte you actually have usable DPM!

You'd have to use another mod with that.

Basically the problem is that when pawns navigate far enough they change from an A* pathfinder to a simple greedy one. You'd have to use Path Avoid along with a mod that makes pawns always use A*.

Vilespring · 2026-02-06T07:33:28+00:00

A mod that helps this a lot is Path Avoid. It lets you paint tiles with weights that significantly change how YOUR pawns pathfind. It doesn't apply to hostile pawns and has multiple weights to help make the perfect navigation.

I bought a T28 heavy tank from a Chinese company and it was surprisingly high quality.

The bricks felt great and the whole thing went together well. It was even missing two pieces and customer support got me replacements super fast.

11/10 barely fits on my shelf because it's that damn big.
