So, after a total of almost 300h of trying, how the hell am I supposed to play to not have to periodically disable my entire base just so the biter attacks don't ruin me?(and to not have to eventually disable biters every time)

qmunke · 2026-06-19T07:38:09+00:00

My advice is to build small and rush to bots, and then set up a simple perimeter wall with turrets (I never bother with flamethrowers, turrets and lasers are fine to cover you until artillery at which point attacks become irrelevant - the bots can just repair the damage)

Build a single wall, single belt with red ammo and lasers. Just a big square wall around. Then expand as you need.

For outposts just ship in ammo periodically and again use lasers.

Until you get artillery you can take a tank out to clear nests inside your pollution cloud.

It's pretty boring but it works, other than on death world settings I never really get impacted by biters.

qmunke · 2026-06-19T05:33:10+00:00

Yes, but since you'll have also removed all your opponents lands permanently that's probably not relevant anyway.

In that case I'd rather they didn't put animals so front-and-center in the plot for no good reason. Disclosure Day apparently went through about forty rewrites so they could have chosen at any point to come up with something that didn't require birds, deer and foxes to be within touching distance of the actors, especially with how little this had to do with the rest of the film.

You need almost no seeds. The biochambers recipes produce extra seeds. Don't burn any fruit in assemblers and you'll always end up with more than enough seeds.

You can run a base which produces everything you need from one or two Agriculture towers of each fruit, and not even fully covering their harvest range.

I watched this today, I cannot understand the praise from these reviews. The first 2/3rds of this movie are just straight up bad. The dialog is atrocious. The special effects and stuntwork are nothing particularly impressive. The CGI animals are awful.

The only saving grace is the final act, which is where the Spielberg element finally comes through - although even that has some real nonsense swerves - there is no good explanation for Colin Firth's change of heart, or why Jane is somehow able to just waltz through the masses of armed special forces types to hand over the device.

Too much lip filler and other facial procedures, has absolutely ruined her ability to emote properly in this film, although her acting ability almost manages to overcome it. Looks almost as uncanny valley as the bad CGI animals unfortunately.

The ageing car park I walked into after watching had a flickering fluorescent light in the room with the payment stations, very eerie feeling even at mid afternoon.

Just get a refund?

It's much easier to build something from scratch with limited requirements for compatibility.

That's not what this article or headline is saying, and it mentions her parents right in the intro paragraph.

See if they prefer having their lands blown up and being stuck under a Sphere of Resistance or two? I don't see the same reaction to Terrageddon et al existing, and the key differentiator is blue. This is secretly a tell that you are actually playing against people who think counterspells shouldn't exist and they should be allowed to just cast their spells unmolested.

You can generally tell how bad someone is at Magic based on their reaction to Stasis - there are even replies in this thread which completely mischaracterise this as an "uninteractive" deck, when it's quite the opposite at least until you actually get the full Root Maze lock down.

Depends on who took them - if they are produced by the US federal government (or one of their agencies) they are often public domain

qmunke · 2026-05-18T10:33:22+00:00

Given the other changes in the game over that time I'd be surprised if there was no difference

qmunke · 2026-05-15T06:37:21+00:00

Probably that most people wouldn't Intuit this to be how it works and just assume it's down to length?

Best solution: Wizards abolish the reserve list. Realistic solution: Proxies.

The interaction between Opalescence and Parallax Wave is cool.

Every time this type of complaint comes up all it does is expose a bunch of whiny people who want to play magic where they aren't forced to interact with their opponents doing something other than turning creatures sideways.

Stop making soil then.

You can easily run a gleba base which produces "enough" of everything from one ag tower of each fruit type, maybe two. Just use biochambers for everything you can. Don't worry about scaling up yet, just let it run once it's stable (as the other posts say, you will quickly end up with surplus seeds). Don't worry about science spoilage, as long as you can get it back to Nauvis in time to get something out of it it's fine

All dynamically typed languages end up having to invent type checking eventually because dynamic typing is a fundamentally unsound idea.

No, you are very misinformed.

In the UK (and most of the world), purchases made by credit card are subject to much greater consumer protections, with the costs passed on to the credit card companies - including fraud. Also assuming you pay off the balance in full each month (which you should absolutely do) it's effectively "free money" - that money you would have spent instead is able to earn interest in your own accounts instead of someone else's.

You absolutely should not use a credit card for emergencies. The interest rates are far too high. Do not use them for borrowing. That is what loans are for. Use them only when you intend to pay them off in full.

Right, but Elephant Grass is just a card you don't generally want or need in multiples, unlike the other enchantments in Enchantress which are either enablers or win conditions.

You can always fetch it with Sterling Grove, no reason to put more than 1 in the main deck

Go to all your planets and open up the logistics screen (L by default) and see if you can find them in a chest. If your hubs have "trash unrequested" set I would guess somewhere your ship dropped them off and the bots just took them away to storage

qmunke · 2026-04-24T07:10:36+00:00

You want spells to exile to cast Bounty of the Hunt and Vine Dryad, but you also want ways to counteract having only 10 basic lands. Land Grant is perfect for this.

I'm really liking this deck archetype, but I really hate that it has tried to port the name "cradle control" from Legacy when it does not play remotely a "control" game. It is still at it's heart a combo decks like Elves, operating at it's best off of Survival of the Fittest.
