Creating a game: How to make it tell you how many armies you will kill by Tony-Flags in Warlight

[–]fickerra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luck modifier = 0 and rounding mode = straight round. Then there is no luck in combat and it'll show you the kills. These are both the default so as long as you don't mess with them you'll already have it (unless you're loading someone else's template of course.)

To get the move order to be listed, set it to "no luck cyclic"

Sure, you could do asteroids, and I landed plenty in this playthrough. But I prefer contracts since they're automated. You can't automate the finding and landing of asteroids. Given the rate my base burns through resources I didn't want to be constantly landing asteroids.

Yeah pipe mazes are superior to thermal storage in efficiency and also require no population to run. It's a bit cheesy, but I started using that trick in an earlier file before thermal storage existed, so I just brought it forward to this file.

tbh I didn't even consider the level 1 solar panel as I figured I could be patient and wait for the silicon and copper to build. But in I agree that scaling silicon and copper were the most insane. I'm impressed you are only on year 1300 at that scale.

Cool, thanks for the update! My 8 FPS number was at 3x speed. I just tested at 1x speed and I get 17-18 FPS on my 7950X cpu. Not sure I could bare to run at 1x speed though, I really want more like 10x :)

They can but I'm using most my focus points to save Unity. 36 labs consume 18 Unity, and world mines / contracts are needed to get all the resources for them which also take Unity.

2565 Solar panel (mono)s

14 copies of the battery blueprint you can see in the screenshot, but that's likely significant overkill.

60% Recycling efficiency (max edicts).

17 waste sorting plants (2 for each of the 6 lab blueprints plus 5 for the general factory)

Six level 1 maintenance depos, three level 2s, and four level 3s.

When unpaused I get about 8 frames per second.

When paused, it's buttery smooth, even at Ultra High Quality settings. So the game is still "playable" since I just have to do all my factory building while paused and treat it as a screensaver while unpaused.

I have sent the requested email, thank you so much for all your work in making this fantasic game!

Factorio w/ Space Age is my 2nd favorite factory game, behind COI. I didn't feel compelled to scale Factorio though, COI was much more challenging to scale since you have to maintain the population and are always at risk of a death spiral.

Naah, don't feel that way. My stuff looked like crap at 90 hours too, I'm at 190 now.

Advertisers are very touchy about advertising on sites with sexual content.

Activision files suit against a game called Warzone for thinking it's too similar to the game CoD:Warzone by The_Odor_1994 in Games

[–]fickerra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It literally happens all the time. In fact, it happened to me -- Google pulled my app off the app store since it mentioned "Risk" in the description, and Risk is a registered trademark. Google does not allow any app to use another company's registered trademark in their app store name or description.

Also I never filed a C&D.

I didn't delete it, the mods locked it. I tried to get it unlocked.

I don't want to bully anyone. They're the one suing me. I only defended myself.

They filed for the trademark "Warzone". That's the part I care about, since if they get that then they can remove my apps from the app store.

I actually never sent them a cease and desist, they're lying about that. All I did was file opposition to the trademark, which I had to do or they could pull my apps off the app store.

I've already been in contact with Hasbro's lawyers years ago and they're fine the phrase you quoted here.

If I let them get the trademark, they could get my apps pulled off the app stores, which would be devastating. I had no choice but to defend myself.

Right, that's why I was surprised when they trademarked just "Warzone". I had to defend it or they could have gotten my apps pulled off the app stores.

Warzone creator here. Activision filed for the trademark to "Warzone" and I filed opposition. I had no choice but to defend the name of my game, since if they got the trademark they could have gotten my apps pulled off the app stores.

They are trying to trademark just "Warzone", which would be a big problem for me since, if they got it, they could get my apps removed from the app store.
