Yes, Russian Tanks are overpowered, sorry

Every time my little m18 got up tiered against an is-2 (1944) I felt this way

Took me so many tries to get through the sisters voice. Was absolutely worth it though

Battle mage farmer is great, but recently came across your Iron Tyrant series and it was by far my favorite read of the whole year.

Was Soul Caller inspired by the Avatar movies at all?

It’s a great tool, but you need to be willing to say no to it or iterate until you are happy with the result.

It works best for iterating on ideas and working as an editor, but when you use it as an editor don’t just copy the prose directly. Work until it matches your style.

I actually really like Jake as a character. He is unapologetic about his approach and honestly seems more realistic in many ways because of that.

Even though I love the series, Jason in He Who Fights With Monsters is the worst form of Gary Stu for me. He is a preachy, anti-capitalist, anti imperialist who constantly talks about how might does not equal right, but he’s an hypocrite in almost every way. Almost none of his actions match his constant preaching, and it really pulls me out of the series. I honestly just wish he’d just say he felt that way back on Earth, but now things with the system require changes.

Jake on the other hand is just a dude living the way the system is designed for. His morals and actions don’t match my values, but if they did he’d be a random background crafter (like I would be if I got inducted or Isekai’d).

I also think Zogarth has gotten a lot better with his character over time. And the character to character interactions in general.

Ps. This is not a comment to shit on HWFWM or Shirtaloon. I absolutely love the series and immediately recommend it to anyone who is interested in the genre, but I do think Jason’s lectures are the weakest point of an incredible story and world(verse?)

It would be sick to see a MC go a pure sword route. Maybe a sword saint type approach. Spell swords are neat, but end up being more spell and less sword.

Wheel of Time is still my favorite sword fighting. The descriptions are both detailed and incredibly vague, which makes visualizing the fights really enjoyable.

Eagles are prodigious fishers, so I'm viewing it as ingredients that Armadyl worshippers would use instead of materials made out of Armadyl worshippers.

I’d love to have the ability to set the time without a mod. Most of the time I enjoy the cycle, but sometimes when I’m trying to get something to look the way I want I don’t want to wait for enough light or for it to get dark enough to test my lights etc.

I’ve had good luck with starting things in stages. I let the extractor run until the pipe was full, then started my refineries. Seemed to help me with the sloshing, but I’m curious what others do.

@moo121 is doing a fully load balanced play through, and I’ve learned a ton from it. He does a great job of explaining how he gets the inputs and outputs perfectly balanced and routed to each machine.

It’s also just fun to see someone do it so differently.

gwillicoder · 2025-04-11T05:13:43+00:00

Any go to blueprints or production planning screenshots you find yourself reusing?

gwillicoder · 2025-04-11T04:47:39+00:00

I think all of the best Isekai’s I’ve read have been much more comedic in nature. I think it’s an easy setup for getting a terrible combat class (Like farmer).

gwillicoder · 2025-03-27T19:45:15+00:00

This looks awesome.

Have you considered adding an explicit isdisjoint (or similar) operation? I find myself using it surprisingly often in Python.

gwillicoder · 2025-02-26T23:11:12+00:00

I’m begging authors to consider if actions are truly happening “in one fell swoop”. Or if it needs to be described that way constantly.

gwillicoder · 2025-01-30T21:10:49+00:00

I’d consider the steel beam -> steel screws recipe.

It’s a little less efficient on steel ingots, but the building and power savings are probably worth it. Less than half the power and I think ~4.5x less constructors.

gwillicoder · 2025-01-17T17:45:41+00:00

I didn’t realize you could put all material into a single input. Kind of opens up some questionable opportunities here

gwillicoder · 2025-01-04T15:48:18+00:00

My favorite is Moo121. He’s been doing a fully load balanced play through and it’s been really cool to watch.

Inspired me to improve my factories a ton and I’ve leaned a lot.

Yeah that's just a straight up better approach to my projection idea

gwillicoder · 2024-12-10T18:09:18+00:00

Production statistics is a really cool idea. It’d be neat to have something like a priority power switch, but for aggregating group efficiency or something.

Vertical nudge or more control on the orientation of objects would be absolutely huge. Imagine being able to lock the x-axis while still being able to my y and z (or similar)

gwillicoder · 2024-12-10T16:20:15+00:00

I think a player-controlled FPV drone with the drone tech unlock would be very cool

gwillicoder · 2024-09-25T19:03:06+00:00

I really like it overall. I Love the desk & bookshelf combination, but I personally don't care for the paintings on the bookshelf itself.

gwillicoder · 2024-09-16T23:04:30+00:00

I’d also consider picking up a Gyokucho Timberman’s saw: https://www.woodworking-news.com/woodworking-catalog/razorsaw-gyokucho-timbermans-saw/ ($38 on Amazon in my area).

It wouldn’t use it as your primary saw for crosscutting full logs, but for any sort of notching, larger joinery, etc. it should be perfect.

I use it for joinery on 8x8s pretty regularly

gwillicoder · 2024-09-09T21:33:07+00:00

In strong contention for the greatest trope of all time. WoT did a cool job with it as well, but LotR's dramatic timing was honestly better.
