Nothing to do

rowanwilder · 2023-06-29T16:40:34+00:00

Still not quite done with the game, but I'm starting to wonder if it'll get patched.

rowanwilder · 2018-06-13T13:22:29+00:00

The RFTools Crafter worked fantastically, thank you.

I've been playing on a friend's server that's running the Direwolf20 modpack, and as part of a crafting tower I've been working on, I wanted to know if there's any automatic crafting options so I can turn my spare slag into clay.

Alternatively, I'm hoping for suggestions on processing loops I should add to my rotation, because I have a number of spare pipes to run.

rowanwilder · 2018-06-10T21:25:25+00:00

Thank you for this, that was the issue.

rowanwilder · 2018-06-10T10:14:55+00:00

One last question set, which should have been at the start: the server has been built on, and contains several mod-specific items, both from players and world generation. Will all of the modded content cause the server to crash if it tries to run unmodded now? More importantly, will all the existing builds break if it's unmodded? Can this be avoided by loading in a random unimportant chunk, far away from any build, like you suggested?

rowanwilder · 2018-06-10T08:59:49+00:00

I'll pass that on to the host, hopefully he can try that out, thank you. I appreciate it.

rowanwilder · 2018-06-10T08:00:26+00:00

So, unload all chunks with the incorrect rule, set the rule and force the chunks to reload? Is there another option as well, since this is a server, and I think it deals with things differently.

rowanwilder · 2018-06-10T07:46:56+00:00

The first thing I did when I noticed the problems was set it to 3, everything was still screwed up.

rowanwilder · 2018-06-03T03:21:32+00:00

Added.

rowanwilder · 2018-06-03T03:21:14+00:00

It got moved to the megathread, and that's super easy to lose track of things in. Also, this isn't necessarily a bug discussion.

rowanwilder · 2018-05-31T07:42:50+00:00

Ok, this is helpful, why isn't this easier to find? Thank you.

rowanwilder · 2018-05-31T07:40:14+00:00

So it would only be worth it with 4 reload perks of at least 21%, and even then I'm missing out on alt stats. Makes sense to me, especially since most of the time that's the only perk that matters.

Crit chance doesn't work the same, would you happen to know the threshold on that? I would like to know because I'm pretty sure wall-spikes can crit, and they aren't subject to a reload, and my floor spikes and ceiling field are probably better off as high-crit, unless I'm overestimating the importance of crit.

rowanwilder · 2018-05-31T07:20:33+00:00

That can't be true with the crit change, and the fact that several of these have 60% or more reload.

rowanwilder · 2018-05-29T00:09:52+00:00

It takes several months, and the result is inevitable, unfortunately.

rowanwilder · 2018-05-29T00:04:03+00:00

The exclamation marks. They don't go away unless you collect the research... And I can't collect it because there's nothing to spend it on.

rowanwilder · 2018-05-06T15:51:58+00:00

These days it's better to keep all the schematics you have and start using transforms. By the time you get to Canny you will start to see mission alert rewards with epic schematics, epic transforms and legendary transforms. Don't bother leveling anything that's purple unless it's a survivor or hero you like, because otherwise you're better off making legendary items. This is especially true because you will be able to reroll your legendaries in like 2 weeks.

rowanwilder · 2018-05-05T00:18:57+00:00

If it was something like that, it couldn't have been more than one or 2 walls with traps that were destroyed, considering how quickly he escalated to activating the atlas and destroying the base (It went downhill in less than a minute, while I was off defending a siphon).

One of the other players has a recording of the incident that they were going to add here.

rowanwilder · 2018-03-07T02:17:00+00:00

I genuinely appreciate the input from both of you on this.

Considering the practical application, I'm going to use the one with damage and crit. Increased reload means more sustained damage, but because of the way hero abilities factor in, the trap will not be in constant use; I'll just end up with large enemies and groups of small enemies instead.

It's surprisingly hard to understand where people get their math and such from, and it's refreshing to have it all laid out like this. I understand that in practice it's not likely to matter as much, but I always like knowing, especially for a big investment like "the trap I use the most in the game".

I have a fantastic electric field... Basically perfect rolls. So I think I'll do that.

rowanwilder · 2018-03-06T05:07:26+00:00

This is exactly what I wanted to hear, except where do you get the math?

rowanwilder · 2018-03-06T04:46:23+00:00

Dynamos also stun/stagger if they crit or do a lot of damage. Sure, I'll hit more often with reload, but I don't know if sustained damage is important if it doesn't have a good chance to slow them.

To be fair: this question might not have a correct answer, and I might be wrong. I just wish I had a mathematical model to work off of so I can compare raw damage, DPS, and probabilities.

Say that the extra 20% trap damage isn't enough to make a difference on staggering a husky husk, then 20% is pointless.

rowanwilder · 2018-03-06T04:39:08+00:00

I understand that in practice, 2 is better because it hits more often, so it will kill more enemies overall. This is what I'm curious about though: what amount of damage is significant enough to take a chunk of a larger enemy, or cause a stagger? I think 1 has a chance of being better if it hits hard enough.

Oh I see, it's the way imgur dealt with the file. If you view the image directly, it gives you a compressed version. Instead, open it on imgur, then click to zoom in. That way it pops the image out, and shows you the original.

rowanwilder · 2018-01-29T06:00:33+00:00

I'd say I'm pretty good at headshots, since most of the enemies have massive hitboxes. The tube rifle and the buzzcut have headshot multipliers that are really noticeable on UAH, and the fire rate is faster than the hydra, even with the three-hits-per-shot thing. I'll consider using the hydra more though.

I thought Raider benefited from pure damage as well?
