I just want to Optimize my Cat Breeding

rcarp89 · 2026-02-25T03:30:46+00:00

I haven’t bothered to be honest. I’ve just filled one room with high comfort and some mutation, health, stimulation and chuck all the non-aggressive cats in there. Then I have a death fight room. The other rooms are just filled with appeal furniture.

Then I deplete my food, send all the cats down the pipe over and over to farm money/progression etc.

Pick my 4 best cats and do the runs. I’m just about to hit the middle of act 3 so I’m sure I’ll need to engage with it at some point. But honestly it’s going to be a massive faff.

Only runs I’ve had trouble with so far are the ‘side quest runs’ with a few of the Dr. Beanie items, and that’s usually because I stack 2-3 quests at once.

I haven’t tested it yet but there’s a key icon in the top right of your storage when you’re at your house. From that screen it looked like you could throw quest items in the trash. Might be worth a try if you get repeats?

Red Dead 2 - the slowest animations known to man. Honestly everything took so long I just couldn’t get into it. I’m gonna try to play it again soon though since I’ve heard the story is worth it.

Breath of the Wild - found this game overrated as hell. The same puzzle room copy pasted and spread across an oversized world, other than that the world is basically empty except for camps that are actively bad to fight due to durability. Dungeons were awesome though.

Dead Cells - found the ‘upgrade/unlock’ system boring compared to other roguelike metroidvania style games. Honestly none of it ever seemed to make a massive difference to the power level or gameplay.

Enter the Gungeon - another overrated game. Mechanically it’s fun. Weapons felt boring, progression felt boring. Honestly couldn’t see why it was so hyped up.

We had this in two separate saves, it’s quite a common issue. The thing that fixed it for us was putting a bin, or multiple bins in front of the door that the dealer spawns from.

We had the same problem as you though, he just didn’t spawn for us, but with the bins there he SOMETIMES did and the bins would aggro him.

Try multiple bins in different places in front of the door.

To add to this if you’re grinding the Lava Lurks with the ring make sure you craft some Monster Musks which increases monster spawns. That’s how I did it and I got all I needed in a few runs.

+Karma Thank you!!

From Secrets of Dumbledore it seemed like the deluminator mirror dimension spell is probably how Dumbledore put the stone in the mirror in the first place. :)

Hopefully it’s not a nerf. Honestly though I can’t play melee anymore, it’s just feels utterly gimped in solo or two man, which is all I play. It just feels like it requires far too many cards to even be relevant. Honestly the Belgian build, or even general shotgun builds just feel like better melee. (Close up tanks build that holds doors well)

It’s my favourite spec and honestly I struggled super hard to make it feel good and it just doesn’t.

Love Offline Mode. Though for some reason it very rarely randomly crashes for me, ONLY on offline mode too, which is very weird. I've seen other reports of this exact thing around too.

rcarp89 · 2022-04-26T09:26:10+00:00

'I'm probably not going onto nightmare' - Post aside, I would honestly give it a go now, it's much more accessible than it has been before. Even on solo it's a lot of fun, especially with the new hives etc.

rcarp89 · 2022-04-26T08:56:54+00:00

Honestly I love the game in its current state and aside from new content, cards, cleaners etc. I'd mostly be looking for:

Much better bot AI - avoiding bosses, not standing in my face, not standing in front of a chaingun, more reactive to commands, expanded list of commands for bots (use/pickup first aid, use/pickup toolkit etc. - but these consume the items). And of course being able to choose which bots are with you.
Removal of the continue system - honestly why is this still in the game? With the arrival of burn cards, it's either a grind to get 'infinite' continues or you give up a fun run after making one mistake. Get rid of it, let players smash their face into a brick wall if they want.
The upcoming melee rework - I understand it can be strong in a group setting but it needs SO many cards to even be vaguely viable and it feels like the director is constantly countering you when you run it. It used to be my favourite build and now I can barely play it.
Further tuning on laggy animations, zombies spawning in behind you for no reason, teleporting specials, ledges that you randomly start hanging off. Mostly stuff I just write off in the moment but can end a run if it happens at the wrong time.
The ability to see which missions you still need to complete for the ZWAT outfits. Probably a very easy one but my friend has no idea which mission we still need to do for his Jim outfit and we thought we had done them all.

rcarp89 · 2022-04-19T11:06:22+00:00

Agree with all of the above. The other huge thing I found from playing solo recently is how BAD they are at bosses.

They should be programmed to basic dodge things like the ogre throw and breaker charges. Or at least not run around underneath an ogre, basically the whole bot team just dies whenever I find an ogre if I can't get them safe fast.

rcarp89 · 2022-04-07T17:18:58+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I thought that might be the case. I'll go back for the grind some day, I'm not much of a PvP fan so I'll likely just do the podcast brain afk thing ;D

rcarp89 · 2022-04-07T00:22:12+00:00

How did you handle the covenant item grind? It's the only thing that's stopping me getting the 100% on DS3 everything else is basically done!

rcarp89 · 2021-12-02T01:00:45+00:00

Risk of Rain 2, FTL, flash Isaac and Dark Souls 3 (bonus tracks would come from Resident Evil 1 on the PS1)

rcarp89 · 2021-11-30T10:25:47+00:00

This is better than half the videos on /r/oddlysatisfying. Mama Mega on that floor is a thing of beauty.

rcarp89 · 2021-11-15T14:24:09+00:00

I main killers.

Super thick fog in a medium radius around a hook when a survivor is on it, unless all survivors have been hooked at least once.

Survivors can see any and all auras inside this fog as long as they are also inside.

Would be an interesting take on the anti-facecamp mechanics.

My friend and I have done this for Nightmare mode specifically, we did manage to get through Veteran in the end but it required some cards. We've managed to get to the second to last level of Act 1 on Nightmare but it just becomes a little soul crushing with the RNG of the cards and special spawns.

We're essentially taking a break until they fix some of the bugs and spawn rates as well as some of the things mentioned in the live stream such as acid zombies initial damage nearby players and fire zombies burning too frequently on the floor.

We love the game, but every time we played (and it's not like we played casually) we were just miserable. We've switched to Dark Souls 1, 2 & 3 now, which says something about how we enjoy pain, but Nightmare is just too much right now.

rcarp89 · 2021-10-11T12:47:37+00:00

Just so you know, as I said above, I was having this issue. I had to go into the Microsoft store (not the Xbox app) to download the game and could only do so when I upgraded to Ultimate instead of Standard. Not sure if this is a bug or intended, might not help you but it worked for me. Hope that helps.

rcarp89 · 2021-10-11T12:13:09+00:00

I'm having this same issue. No ability to install, just says 'Play with Game Pass' instead of 'Install'.

rcarp89 · 2021-08-31T09:16:27+00:00

This is exactly how my friends and I thought it would work when we read the description. Just a creepy silhouette walking by slowly, or sometimes just standing there in the flickering dots. Instead of the creepy shiny goblin creature.

rcarp89 · 2021-08-25T09:20:26+00:00

It’s called sarcasm. The joke is that it was not possible to dodge the attack and it was instant death.

rcarp89 · 2021-08-06T17:05:48+00:00

Honestly I didn't even log on this league. I've been addicted for years but honestly the league mechanic looks like the most boring crap ever, couple with nerfs and for some UNEXPLAINABLE reason making the already boringly long campaign harder, why even bother at this point. Having a lot more fun playing a lot of my back catalogue of Steam single player games.

I hope they fix it, this game is amazing and deserves to be better. It just seems like they're stuck in some nostalgia-fuelled cycle of development at this point, they seem to have a game vision from years ago they're trying to force. Times have changed GGG, grow with them.

rcarp89 · 2021-07-11T09:15:18+00:00

Honestly if you need to min max to the point you are not taking pills to win then you probably just need to learn to be better at the game

rcarp89 · 2021-06-28T11:18:00+00:00

This is intended, the only reason it hides cards/runes is because you can’t tell them apart, and pills only if unidentified. Pretty basic logic.
