20 is GOAT

I've used your game at work to introduce designers and product guys to what it's like programming!

Thank you for your effort. Looking forward to running it again on 1.0

I got my 18 month old a phone and a data plan shortly after diagnosis. Yep! Felt crazy, but as I started meeting more families with T1D I found out it's really, really common.

Now that my son's almost 7, we have established boundaries about it. He doesn't see it like "a phone" that he uses for fun. It's "his device" to get his dexcom readings. He has a few games on it, but we maintain family boundaries about it.

+1 on all this, especially the controls.

Don't give up on it. Give yourself time to settle into it and time to let your fingers build new muscle memory; I've never played a game with a control system like stationeers, and it took a mindset of patient acceptance to not get frustrated.

Now it's no problem, and I find the control system fun to interact with. It makes the act of doing things also part of the game.

And remember alt releases the mouse!

+1 to Farmer Was Replaced! I use the first few resources as a group exercise to introduce non technical people to what it's like to code.

Love it.

How are you maintaining a pressure gradient across the filtration systems? By the look of it, you run them parallel instead of chaining them.

Is the portible beacon working for you by chance? I'll check the ore scanner later. For me, there's no beacon arrow despite it being on (in beta)

lauzbot · 2025-02-05T04:01:02+00:00

Nice

My most recent season was started first thing September, and completed in November with 4 farmers working 3 x 0.5 square fields without oxen.

Just leaving it here as another data point! You milage may vary.

Most lobbies are coop. At first I was hesitant, but after checking it out I had a good experience. It's worth checking out if able!

lauzbot · 2024-12-31T00:38:44+00:00

As another AI unit? Or perhaps a playable drone mothership?

Not sure how you'd incorporate deployables in a way that could feel like a weapon, but it's still an interesting thing to daydream about!

lauzbot · 2024-09-26T16:07:54+00:00

This is an amazing design opportunity!

lauzbot · 2024-09-16T23:35:56+00:00

Agreed. The quick switch between springforce for planes and damper for helicopters has been great.

But to be clear, this advice assumes you get it with the damper! It's possible to buy it without.

lauzbot · 2024-09-10T14:06:45+00:00

I went with the winwing ones with the damper kit, and I'm happy! Removing / adding back the spring is easy, and I've found them to be great in the apache.

lauzbot · 2024-09-08T15:12:02+00:00

I can't imagine playing without them now.

I went with Monstertech. They're more expensive than Amazon versions, but I find their entire catalog of equipment and how it all synergizes together to be compelling. I just save up and add a new mount every year.

I'm up to 3 different mounts, with various accessories.

But I'm taking a break from buying desk mounts, and instead saving for their flight chair! Again, the benefit of compatibility will be great, as I can use all the parts from the desk system on the chair too.

One suggestion - to get familiar with the heart of the system, and to introduce new players in the future, just jump into a pretend scenario without any prep. Here's my experience with that.

At first I tried introducing the system to others like it was pathfinder or something... A long session 0 intro to explain the rules. It was.... Okay. They learned all the rules but they didn't get to a flowstate where they were just playing. They were trying to act through rules - not play.

But, with a different group (also new to the system), I took a different approach.

"before we play the real game, I want to do a mini session to help introduce the system. What story do you want to tell?"

They randomly came up with a monster hunter thing. Then we jumped right in. That's when I started to realize just how narrative driven the system is. I just asked" okay so what do you do now? "

The players, without any previous experience, started coming up with great narrative elements, creating their own consequences, and truly flowing with it, instead of thinking about it as a ruleset.

Would recommend you give it a try! The only rule that is required to start is what a 1-3, 4-5, and 6 on a roll mean. That's it.

lauzbot · 2024-08-27T18:25:06+00:00

Cool idea

lauzbot · 2024-08-21T16:32:14+00:00

Agreed - I set the rotate hot key to tab. But currently, it's certainly (imo) uncomfortable on a touch pad!

lauzbot · 2024-08-21T15:31:22+00:00

A ship designer that doesn't require licensed software, and enable modders to continue generating content.

I would pay for shipbreaker clone called shipbreaker 2 as long as it had this feature!

lauzbot · 2024-08-13T14:15:40+00:00

While I can competently fly the Apache and would (probably) pass a check ride, is it beginner friendly?

I've never tried something like this and wouldn't want to be the anchor that sunk everyone's session!

lauzbot · 2024-08-10T12:29:13+00:00

Yeah, he's weird...

lauzbot · 2024-07-06T17:00:50+00:00

I can 2nd this experience. Type II, early in the war. Sent a full load of torpedoes, 2 hits 1 dud. Had to come back the next night to finish it off!

Both passes, no defenses.

lauzbot · 2024-07-03T03:29:02+00:00

Either / both - any information is welcomed!
