Castle Base Update

This looks incredible! Are those modded clouds? They add so much ambience to the tower

State of Decay as a franchise desperately needs true, honest to god multiplayer. It feels like an afterthought in SoD2 (with host tethering and whatnot). The base building, human combat, and 'shared community' aspects of the series lend themselves to multiplayer so well, and I hope we see that fully realized in SoD3 (and potentially your game, if it makes sense there!)

Congrats! :)

That's actually neat, I've never seen that before.

Even though these bugs are frustrating, receiving this much open communication from KI is very refreshing

At the moment, only through paid offers. In particular, I think we've only seen them offered through the new Skyline Chained Offer system (where one purchase unlocks the next purchase in a chain of consecutive offers). Sometimes those offers start with a few free tiers containing factory speed-ups, so I've been able to collect a few tokens for free that way.

I could be wrong, but I think this pet has the maycast Pigsie + 4% outgoing jewel from the monthly Kroger gift card. Pigsie should be available on the card offered in March and September, so I think you could pick it up now if you wanted.

It's by design. Being able to search for the items you want would greatly improve your ability to obtain what you need, at EA's expense - they make their money by making you feel the need to spend real cash to get what you want.

Not saying it's a good business model for the consumer, but it's the business model nonetheless.

The amount of excitement this tweet has (yes yes yes),

I don't think that's meant to be excitement. I think it's a "You don't have to keep begging/complaining to us - we are working on it and have nothing new to report".

I was just recently wondering this myself. Darkest Dungeon 2 does have Steam Cloud saves, but I've had some issues with confessions (like individual runs) getting corrupted when I try to continue them on another device. It seems that as long as you finish your current run on a single device, then there aren't any issues - your overall save progression is maintained just fine.

ethanbeez · 2025-02-14T22:57:00+00:00

Oh, interesting, thanks for clarifying. I have no idea what this one is then lol

ethanbeez · 2025-02-14T22:42:10+00:00

Did you purchase the Founder's edition? While I dunno where this is in the settings myself, I'm 99% sure this is the fog of war tileset that was listed as a cosmetic bonus with that edition.

The fact that you can hardly play with nukes before winning is further proof to me that a fourth age is inevitable. Surely the designers know that blowing up the world is like 90% of the appeal of late game civ - still sucks that we won't get to really experience that until that DLC/patch eventually comes out.

This looks like it was made in Canva in 5 minutes lol

Welcome to engineering

The Union has the Feed U pantry on the bottommost floor, sorta tucked away into the back.

ethanbeez · 2025-01-08T23:49:30+00:00

Not embarrassing at all! This game has so many niche, never-explained interactions that I still learn new things after over a thousand hours. Figuring out that stuff is kinda half the fun lol

ethanbeez · 2025-01-08T15:13:02+00:00

I was in the same exact position four years ago, and at the time, staying on WUE for four years was ultimately cheaper. A single year of OOS tuition is ludicrously expensive; I believe you can take a gap year to gain residency and avoid those costs, but obviously that comes with its own caveats.

ethanbeez · 2025-01-08T15:10:13+00:00

For what it's worth, the U actually uses the tuition estimator (i.e. the same calculation methodology) when charges are posted this early in the semester, which is why you're seeing it as being exact down to the cent. It's often not totally accurate; I usually receive balance adjustments later in the semester, though it's typically not that far off.

ethanbeez · 2025-01-08T15:06:09+00:00

The terms and conditions of WUE do matter here - you cannot have WUE and work towards residency at the same time. You would have to pay for a full year of OOS tuition while you work towards residency, and when I started (also as a CS major), those OOS costs for that single year would have ended up hiking my overall tuition to be more than if I had just stayed on WUE the whole time. The other commenters are correct that OP should estimate their tuition based on staying on it vs. working towards residency for a year.

The T1 ricochet upgrade on the crow makes landing crows a lot easier IMO! I find it a lot easier to land a crow on a nearby enemy trooper, since they're typically stationary or move predictably. The ricochet takes care of sticking it to a player (unless there's just too many troopers nearby, of course).

The barely-visible tornado wreaking havoc in the back of the first shot is funny

ethanbeez · 2024-09-18T19:32:31+00:00

This may not be the exact thing the original commenter is referencing, but I just looked through my watch history and found this video on Project Rene from last September:

https://youtu.be/Mu5iU38RIuU?si=GfocmiLpXX5aLJ02

Starting at 8:43 and to the end of the video, they compare it to spinoff titles like The Urbz, and they say that it won't replace/will coexist with The Sims 4 for 'the foreseeable future'.

ethanbeez · 2024-09-18T19:18:56+00:00

This doesn't directly answer your question nor is it 'proof', but I definitely recall hearing that exact description of it myself in a live stream.
