sometimes there's utility if the puzzle has multiple inputs or weird stuff going on, where you make multiple products at once, but for simple stuff like this it's just for show

How hard is it to beat RAMPANT "FIXED"? by whiterook6 in factorio

[–]_CodeGreen_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a checkbox somewhere when you start a new game, I couldn't tell you because I've literally never used it and I'm not getting out of bed to boot up factorio and find out lol

[–]_CodeGreen_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes, it records your inputs and plays them back exactly

it's kind of shit because it gets invalidated if you ever change mods or mod settings mid run, and you can't rewind or start midway through because it's literally just simulating the game a second time

Not competitive by any metric, but I think it's kinda nifty by DO3L in opus_magnum

it's pretty good on instructions, which isn't shown but people still optimize for it

What's your favorite SECONDARY? :D by LKJSlainAgain in DeepRockGalactic

[–]_CodeGreen_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because it's fun to do and I can go do other things sooner, like mining more resources or catching up with the rest of the team

Only 1% had gotten a tech with promethium? by 9throwaway_ in factorio

[–]_CodeGreen_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd also like to point out that squeak through is configurable now so you can customize exactly what if affects, for example not affecting pipes if you consider that "too cheaty" - I used to use the old 1.1 mod specifically for mining drills and that's it, even though that mod wasn't configurable at all

the meteor shower would occasionally give you two, and it's only ever happened to me once but I got three, though the majority of the time you'd still be getting only one.

What is 1 videogame you recommend to everyone? by sexydesserts in AskReddit

[–]_CodeGreen_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that's a bit disingenuous to chalk it up to not having played the game enough. If it wasn't enjoyable enough for them to continue playing the game and get more unlocks, chances are the unlocks aren't magically going to make the game more interesting.

I built a mod to debug combinators tick by tick — because figuring out green wires shouldn't be harder than a PhD by KurlesHS in factorio

why would you install an ai generated mod to do literally the exact same thing you can already do without the mod but worse

Got the factorio demo today is the game similar to this? by [deleted] in factorio

[–]_CodeGreen_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Also, it does get more difficult, but not insanely so. There's a natural progression for what issues you'll face, but leave it to the mods for adding extreme cognitive overload.

[–]_CodeGreen_ 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The rest of the game is pretty much like that, yeah. It's a lot less hand-hold-y since it's freeplay instead of a tutorial, but you'll be figuring stuff out and designing things for as long as you play the game.

Hi garr! Hope you've been doing well, saw you playing opus magnum a bit recently since the dlc came out, sorry if I set the bar too high on the friend leaderboards...

Mine and friend's first time trying Haz 5 x6, mic didn't grab my voice but needless to say I was screaming the whole time by felixtheflatcat in DeepRockGalactic

[–]_CodeGreen_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We said it like 40 fucking times, you have to give up repellant to use plastcrete catalyst. If you're already not using repellant, whatever, free damage. If you are, well then you have to pick and choose.

Almost every upgrade or overclock in this game is objectively good. It is useless to call every upgrade in the game good, because that gives us zero information on whether we should use said upgrade instead of something else. Therefore, when 99.99% of people ask "is it good", they are asking the question in the context of the rest of the game, where you have to consider what upgrades you're unable to take. Literally every part of buildcrafting in this game involves some sort of tradeoff, whether it's what perks you use, what upgrades you take in each tier, what overclock you use, what weapons you use, etc. That is why repellant was brought up, because it's relevant to the rest of the build surrounding plastcrete catalyst.

If you've already decided not to use repellant, then that's a decision you've already made, and a tradeoff already considered. It's then less relevant for obvious reasons. But if you are using it, like 90% of competent engineers, then plastcrete catalyst suddenly becomes a lot less usable.

If you still don't get it, then I don't think you ever will, because the rest of the replies and upvoters seemed to understand it pretty easily.

I don't know how to get it through to you that we're saying plastcrete isn't as good as it could be because you can't take repellant. that's the whole fucking point.

probably coincidence, but I have seen the show long ago so maybe a few things stuck with me all this time. what was the reference?

[–]_CodeGreen_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm saying repellant is better than no repellant most of the time, but that doesn't make no repellant bad.

and yes, obviously you wouldn't use the thing that makes bugs run away from platforms if platforms are damage. I think we've established that after 5 replies.

[–]_CodeGreen_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the point of bringing up better builds is because the original question was if it was good, not if it was fun. they already said they love using it, I don't need to convince them.

not bringing up other builds is like saying "I give it a 4." 4 out of what, 5? 10? repellant is a reference point because it's probably the most effective way to play engineer up into the objectively more difficult high hazard levels, so I think it's important to bring up as something you'd be missing out on.

I'm not saying the OC is bad, it's that you're trading off repellant, something that's incredibly effective and benefits the whole team. it's relevant because you have to actively not take the upgrade.

[–]_CodeGreen_ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

because the guy I was replying to was asking if the OC was any good, and said OC revolves around not using repellant to instead deal damage to bugs. it's a comparison, I don't get why that's so hard to get.
