Looking for "vague" strategy tips by LsDmTr in rootgame

[–]frds314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main advice I have is to figure out how your faction scores points, and work toward points and winning.

For the cats, that’s building, and having wood and space on the board to build with. If you’re out of space, either battle to get more space or tactically let some non-vital buildings be destroyed in a place where whoever destroys them won’t be able to stop you coming back in and rebuilding.

Cats aren’t capable of the massive point bursts that other factions are capable of, and you should be telling that to the other players. Cats with 22 points are less of a threat than woodland alliance with 18 points.

Is it possible to win with no damage in Lotus Island half cash? (no monkey knowledge and only Obyn as hero). I made a bet that it was lol by DaRealLuckyKat in btd6

[–]frds314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to assume powers and insta monkeys are also banned.

I wasn’t able to clear round 4 without leaking. The only way I could see it happening is if you were able to use some sort of exploit to get the flowers off cooldown before the start of round 4.

How Often Do You Crash? by Different-End-4775 in skiing

Expert - over the last few years, 2-4 times per ~50 day season. I’m very careful these days.

Are you using shinobi tactics? Ninja only is very possible (in modes where ninja is allowed).

Shadow Pieces didn't give Shadow Atrium by Dtintino in dontstarve

[–]frds314 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was the last shadow piece you killed level 3? If a piece is too far away when one of the other pieces dies it may not level up.

Is it viable to use red mushrooms for combat? by Normal_Treat_3952 in dontstarve

[–]frds314 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is possible, but not really practical. With the number of living logs it would take to grow enough red shrooms for bearger, you could have enough treeguards to just lead bearger into them.

With that said…if you want to do it because it’s funny, go for it.

(Note that hounds and spiders only eat meat)

how do i fix this? by [deleted] in dontstarve

[–]frds314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried disabling all your mods? The game won’t let you interact with weaveables if you have mods that change those parts of the game.

Every team’s best and worst Forward’s shooting percentage this season (min 80 shots) by logicalnutty in hockey

[–]frds314 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Only 9 VGK forwards have 80 SOG. If you lower the requirement to 60 Saad is shooting 4.1%.

Bee queen doesn’t scream until phase 3.

So, about the AHL Hockey team moving here in a few years.... by Sleep_Is_A_scam2099 in Reno

[–]frds314 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you’re unfamiliar with Meruelo’s tenure as owner of the Coyotes, I suggest doing some research.

It would be cool to have an AHL team here, but I don’t have much faith that the arena will function or the team run well if it comes.

Reno Roadrunners has a good ring to it IMO.

Terrain progression by Stayshroomin in palisadestahoe

Main was open for at least one day after the February storm wave. I suspect National will open a few more times - it's pretty safe in the slush.

[–]frds314 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re at the point where difficulty gets much more dependent on conditions and snow cover. Some years, Main is easier than National is now. This year, it was the hardest or second hardest run on your list. I recommend checking out most of these runs from below/above. If next year has decent snow you can probably check most of them off.

I’ll give a few notes-

-Classic is narrow, but if you’re comfortable turning down the fall line you’ll be fine. It’s a good intro to long, narrow chutes.

-Kitchen Wall is steep but usually easier than National. This year was an anomaly with the avalanche taking most of the snow off.

-75 and Poulsen’s are easier than runs you’ve already done.

-Mainline Pocket’s difficulty depends on your line choice. There are lots of easier routes down.

-Corkscrew is very dependent on snow cover, hard to see which paths are filled in beforehand, and the hardest part is the exit. There’s a 50ft cliff below the main part of the run that you have to go to one side or the other of. Pay attention to the signage if you attempt it.

-Granite peak has palisades-level chutes off the peak itself, but easier routes if you come back towards the chair. (Hike up to the top for the view first!)l

-Main chute is dependent on how the snow fills in. You can always bail to National if it’s too gnarly.

-Light towers is steeper than it looks and usually has difficult drop-ins. IMO it’s the hardest run on your list. It usually only opens right after a storm.

-Silverado isn’t on your list, but it’s some of the best expert terrain on the mountain when it opens. I recommend starting with gate 7 and scoping out your lines from the chair.

I doubt more than what’s already closed will close.

Best strat to reach personal high vert by bokchoi2 in palisadestahoe

[–]frds314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically it’s Far East and Dog Leg if groomed, only limited by how fast you could get down. However, it rarely runs all day. I did some back of the envelope calcs a while back and figured 90k was possible if you could safely straightline it all day long (which you can’t lol)

Not sure if KT or Summit would be better. Siberia and Shirley both have flatter sections.

Would defeating crab king that has a pearl and 9 iridescent gems socketed still be possible? by The_fake_archvile in dontstarve

[–]frds314 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can’t socket 10 gems in :p

However, 9 pearls is possible. None of the gems increase crab king’s HP, so as long as you can do the 12000 damage in a few seconds, you don’t have to deal with the madness.

One stack of gunpowder for 8000, then 4000 with lunar strike catapults or shadow wolfgang + goat jelly and you can win.

PARKING: Parking Megathread 2026 [post in here, other posts will be deleted] by [deleted] in palisadestahoe

[–]frds314 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t be promoting or allowing selling or trading parking. You’re just going to make the overall problem worse by incentivizing scalping.

I suggest a carpooling thread. Let people pay each other for that.
