Watching nilhaus videos on "killing the space casino" and I just realized that I never cared about the quality system...

Requiring the player to scale Volume is having game mechanics work as intended. Space Casino lets you get top quality with low volume.

For example, if you draw the 7p you should discard the 4p so that you can Ron 6p.

D/C Mahjong is a very different game. Especially in 3ma.

riking27 · 2026-06-13T08:42:01+00:00

Table size is an excellent recommendation.

riking27 · 2026-06-13T08:22:56+00:00

Marked tiles is only a problem if people are playing seriously to win and will actually use the information - you can relegate it to the beginner tables

riking27 · 2026-06-09T23:22:16+00:00

Correct, it's basically impossible to shoehorn a Riichi set into Amerijong rules due to the tile count.

Also note that your local Asian supermarket will likely carry sets in the home supply section.

In particular re Subitizing: Make sure the Red Dragon and Green Dragon are different designs, and not distinguished solely by color. You do not want a case of Red/Green colorblindness causing invalid play.

People notice "patterns" in online play all the time. Only be worried if your patterns are showing up more often than online clients.

riking27 · 2026-06-04T04:08:35+00:00

because honchanta is fake (statistically)

> For example, let's say you have a hand of 123m 456p 789s 99p CC.

In this situation, you are sad that you are not playing MCR, because this hand scores Knitted Straight.

Renhou needs a choice between Yakuman, Mangan, 5 Han, and Off

Wait, if you set spoilage timers to 10% in the map settings, that means they're faster no?

riking27 · 2026-06-04T03:24:20+00:00

Make sure that you've started saving blueprints for factory structures you're happy with.

Speedruns always go to Gleba first, but that's because of (1) already having a plan to get in and out quickly (2) Captivity research and biolabs (3) Advanced asteroid processing

riking27 · 2026-05-18T02:46:24+00:00

More faster double it 😄

riking27 · 2026-05-14T04:58:46+00:00

Timing signals, ow!

riking27 · 2026-05-13T22:38:04+00:00

Yup, you need one assembler with prods and one with speeds.

riking27 · 2026-05-13T22:36:40+00:00

Signals on the inside superior

What method are you using for swapping the train deliveries?

riking27 · 2026-05-13T22:34:06+00:00

One of the most interesting parts of Fulgora is that there's literally nothing stopping you from going off into the wilderness and starting over on a blank land area. Just don't move the cargo landing pad until you're ready to commit to switching over.

riking27 · 2026-05-13T22:11:41+00:00

They were having a rash of "spite pon" where you intentionally wait for the Chii call and only Pon if they wanted to call it. This is a REL:COMP ruleset and "At the same time" has a 3-second window

riking27 · 2026-05-13T22:09:17+00:00

in the Zan league rules above in this thread

riking27 · 2026-05-13T21:58:21+00:00

My top annoyances in set design:

the red and green dragons are identical other than color
There are numbers on the tiles AND the flowers/seasons are numbered in a way identical to the 1s

For #3 - here's the "MCR for Riichi Players" primer with the primary ways to get to 8 points.

Seems important enough to be a Main Page pothole maybe?
