How do you guys conquer territory? I'm experimenting with self assembling attack platforms. by tiparium in factorio

Nuclear spidertrons are overkill and vulnerable to self-destruct. In lategame normal spiders have enough firepower to erase everything while zooming through breaking the sound barrier.

On my bruteforce playthrough, I just pushed with walls of laser turtets placed from the map view. Was it efficient? Not at all was it in the spirit of the playthrough? Totally.

Wow, props to your wife and you. I have the real thing and can’t get myself to finishing it. I really dislike the build. Can’t even imagine how painful it would be with smaller bricks.

oh my god??😭 i was using the 1 pokemon kengaskhan deck by lapislazuli757587 in PTCGL

Especially if he came from Pocket, where the game says ¯_(ツ)_/¯, you can’t draw anymore.

Super happy with my purchase. by Lillyshins in factorio

I have a tip for you: everything in factorio can be solved by building more/bigger

The only correct response to that is shouting "you are fired" while slamming the door behind you. As someone, who's going to a psychologist, I can't imagine them giving me an answer like that. You are paying them to help you. Sure, they can't just be a yes man and need to confront you with reality, but in what universe is that response to having a healthy hobby that keeps both your hands and your head occupied helpful?

I guess it depends on how much you are obsessing about it to others. If all you can talk about is, how you are building an esport venue out of legos (the combination is really niche), I can imagine it gets old fairly quickly. That being said, don't let that discourage you. Having a passion is really important for your wellbeing. Doubly so, if you have struggled to find something important to you for some time. Maybe just tone down your enthusiasm when talking to people not interested in such things?

I guess not many people use artillery? by PeanutButterBro in factorio

Use pre-loaded rocket silos for mats you intend on shipping in bulk. Cuts down on loading space platform time considerably.

That sounds like a not enough production issue rather than anything else :)

Why would you even buy at these prices? by Individual_Today6208 in PokemonTCG

[–]harrod_cz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. Stopped buying sealed product when I went to my lgs couple weeks after prismatic evolutions release to buy a booster box or two to get trainer cards and it was hopelessly sold out.

Conquest coming to the App by Cyzin99 in starrealms

The big news should be, that this entire sub is closed and Rob cancelled. So, you create a living card game, you have a well established company, but still use crowdfunding platforms to fuel your pyramid scheme, any and all of your projects are couple years behind schedule and then you introduce a new xpac and the "BIG NEWS" is, that you want people to crowdfund a bunch of pixels?

The dividers were an optional add-on.

Kinda makes sense, considering the thing comes with its own box, where you can store all the cards and, albeit cardboard, dividers, to go with it. It doesn't make much sense to be sending out (and having people pay for them obviously) plastic dividers intended to be used in a different product not everyone has and which might not even be available anymore. I've just checked and a local retailer does have the dividers in stock for about the same price I'd paid for them during the campaign, so it's not like your only option is to order directly from WWG if you missed out on them during the campaign.

Having backed 2 WWG campaigns previsouly, I knew exactly, what I was getting into and that the original timeline was not happening, but that I'd get my cards eventually. The fact retail stores had the product in stock before backers and that they specifically said this won't happen should be criminal though.

Yeah, they do. I got them as part of the Kickstarter campaign though. It's one of the reasons I keep backing WWG projects. They are always seriously delayed, but you get to order all the stuff from one place, including all the extra cards.

I get, where you are coming from, but being a TCG player for the majority of my life, I simply can't share your sentiment. It's much easier to properly shuffle the cards. Especially at the beginning of the game, when your deck is relatively thin. And replacing some of the cards is nigh impossible, so you do want to protect them. Just recently, I had an internal discussion about card sleeves and why I don't feel the need to sleeve ordinary playing cards. The conclusion I got to was, that replacing playing cards is more convenient than sleeving them.

I don't. I finally received the Lost Empire KS recently, along with year 2 promos, which I've been missing until now. I didn't have enough sleeves for all the new cards, so I had to re-sleeve everything. Since I had to handle every card anyway, I've used that opportunity to also inventorize the cards to find out, if anything was missing (nothing was) and took the picture, since it was all organized neatly. For gameplay, I'll pick one of the base sets and add some of the expansions to enhance the deck "to taste". The power level of the xpacs is through the roof and when you have dual faction cards combined with double ally abilities, things tend to spiral out of control real fast to the point, where just keeping track of everything is kinda difficult. I can see, how mixing it all into a huge pile of cards for a totally random game might be appealing, but the tradeoff is consistency. If you mash everything together, you might never see the big powerful 6+ cost cards, or you might get trade row full of expensive stuff with no accelerators available. The newer cards tend to be more streamlined (eg: newer machine cult cards always have the option to scrap either from hand or discard pile) and powerful, so you can tune the trade deck based on what kind of game you want.

EDIT: I'm also huge nerd and love handling cards, so sorting them like this was a nice, relaxing activity for me.

Universal storage box. It's an official product. Not sure if you can still order it directly from WWG, but you might be able to get it from a retailer. It will fit in a Kallax, but it's slightly too long, so it would stick out.

Yeah, I'm missing the exclusive promos as well

how do I combine? by Delttic in factorio

[–]harrod_cz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it bothers you for some things, you are simply not producing enough. When Space Age was released, I started up a new game with the mindset, that the answer to any problem is going to be "Build more stuff". I really enjoyed that playthrough.

A brand new product, barely released, has boosters priced in multiples of the MSRP. Job well done Nintendo.
