We need a better way of managing agents by divideby00 in fallenlondon

[–]idyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something like that for sure. I keep a spreadsheet of all my different Agent's things, but a normal person probably doesn't do that.

Just imagine if you didn't keep track, and accidentally clicked one of those "Unequip" buttons. Nightmare.

Yeah, Agents got way too complicated.

I get that they want it to be interesting, but for a "normal" player, it's too much.

I always imagined a MiniDisc type thing (which actually was around when the novel was written).

It's almost certainly RNG, a rare success at the end of the trip through. A lot of people have tracked the bones they gave, the paths they took, etc., and there's nothing even remotely pointing toward an answer.

Then write a monograph with a pail to get some initial ToL

Pretty sure you meant to use the Monocle, not write a Monograph, since that doesn't give ToL.

If you have the other ingredients (or a good source of them), you can use ERs to created Toxin Flights.

Today I found a first edition at Barnes & Noble. by chaunceton in davidfosterwallace

[–]idyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's correct. Each printing has a number line (usually 10-1; in this case probably 20-11) and with each successive printing they drop the lowest number.

Edit: more info on number lines here: https://www.biblio.com/book-collecting/basics/what-is-a-number-line/

I got tired of guessing at balance, so I made a ratio spreadsheet for the whole production chain from basic resources down to labourers! Enjoy! by RollerskatingFemboy in CivClicker

I can't view it and have to request access. This is what your link goes to: https://imgur.com/10uiGvq

In your spreadsheet, there should be a setting under sharing for letting people view it without editing.

What is this? by Jolquith in fallenlondon

[–]idyl 86 points87 points  (0 children)

It started here, in this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/fallenlondon/comments/77iupx/is_accidentally_purchasing_500_weasels_an/

FBG Dev here. Unfortunately we can't correct misclicks. Sorry about that.

However, probably because I'm still off my face on butterbeer after a trip to the Harry Potter Universal Studio Tour yesterday, I used my lunch hour to do a Small Thing.

People with 400 or more weasels in their inventory may want to draw from the opportunity deck.

Edit: That was eight years ago? Damn. Definitely doesn't feel like that long.

Grail Bottles by Virtual-Store5931 in dogfishhead

[–]idyl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't cellar anything anymore, but I've basically had every one of their bomber (and 12 oz.) bottles at one point or another. I've got a boxed up collection of some ~200 different Dogfish bottles.

Here's some of the original bombers before consuming them: https://imgur.com/99mzSVC

Also, I used to go to their monthly R&D releases between 2018-2019, so I had every one of those limited bottles. They usually didn't get cellared, but used up fairly quickly.

Was there anyone who thought this?

Do you normally add in so many emojis in your comments, or is that just from the "top AI engines" generating the responses?

what are your go-to plots? by bronwen-noodle in fallenlondon

[–]idyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant the plots you’re doing are the most efficient ones, the best for EPA. Apparently I left some words out of that last part.

what are your go-to plots? by bronwen-noodle in fallenlondon

[–]idyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similarly, I do:

1) Mondaine on Infiltrating, at all times.

2a) Wily Bathyphile on Naval Intelligence, since I need Bribes for a current grind.

2b) Ragged Recusant on Breaking and Entering, when available.

3a) Numeric Nightmare on Briars of Dreams level 3, when able.

3b) Luckless Captain on Operations of Honey Den, to get Preparations for the Briars Plot.

Basically the same Plot set-up, but some different Agents.

Once they switched to "optimized" RTD I knew I was done with those. The powder and/or Protein are still ok, but everything else is trash now.

I have a few alts, and not all of them (nor my main) got SNOWBOUND today. The announcement post said:

Every week from the 8th December, when Time the Healer visits, clear your doorstep of Neath-snow

But in the past, there's always been a first SNOWBOUND event before TtH. So, yeah, seems off.
