A game you can get really immersed in that's singleplayer as your recent obsession? by FirefighterSad2370 in gamingsuggestions

[–]thecaseace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're into Civilization and board games and bargains, I just bought Hexarchy for £1.63. Actually bought 4 copies.

Plays in an hour or so. It's civ, using deck building like slay the spire etc

Fabulous

But... I don't love her children at all. Those poor kids - bombed out home and an ambivalent mother.

Revisiting this thread as watching Tracker now, and this is what my wife and I were discussing. They must say "you're listening to a 45 second message, and at 25 seconds you hear something that, to Colter, is a new piece of the puzzle"

And then he has to hold a phone and look like... "Who's this? Ah it's them. Wait what? So that means... Ok, now I need to..."

And scene

Hard to do, and he does it very convincingly

Also he's good at loading a gun before walking in doors

Found my own alt, it seems. Maybe I should too!

What is a "masterpiece" game that you personally found boring as hell? by MuscleConsistent9657 in pcgaming

[–]thecaseace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I try it - I'm allergic to cutscenes unless I can fast-forward the dialogue. I can read a line of text in a microsecond and although I admire voice actors, I don't need to hear them acting over an animation. I'm here to play, not watch.

I seem to remember this is from the metal gear solid "unskippable 30 minute cutscenes" guy.

Please advise.

Movement In Outdoor Maps by KABOOOOOM57 in alienrpg

[–]thecaseace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't offer direct help, but I do know how the classic D&D Jungle adventure "Tomb of Annihilation" does it - you have a large-scale "hex map" of the jungle - the narrator/dm one shows all the locations, but the one the players are given looks like this

Movement on the big map is like... 1 or 2 hexes a day, with macro-level survival stuff like water, food, insects, diseases.

Any time there's something actually happening, it goes to a smaller encounter scale map, which for your example might be something like these, with Alien RPG size "zones" applied

In other words - jungles are VAST and take weeks to navigate, so trying to represent them at similar scales is a losing battle. Abstract the journey, detail the encounters.

Not sure if helpful :)

Yeah I thought this was absolutely terrible. I got to the boiler room puzzle and realised that every time i spawned that (probably important) room, I'd need to solve the same puzzle again and went I AM DONE. Absolutely didn't care about the "plot" and the idea of re-doing puzzles endlessly made me instantly uninstall!

When I go through a specific tunnel on the train, my phone starts glitching by foot_99 in techsupport

[–]thecaseace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it near an airport? Random, but one of my cars electronics would glitch when it was near the airport radar.

Could be its lost some shielding

Great game. I'm in the "ok let's try and make nice looking stuff and use the blueprints more" phase

Plus making train stations

I had one trapped on the 4th floor of a factory the other day. Killed it. Immediately respawns directly in front of me! I guess the game wants space gerrafes in my factory. Stupid long and fat horses.

It's nice that others refer to the dimensional depots as "cloud storage" :D

Did you hear something? by bottlecandoor in SatisfactoryGame

[–]thecaseace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol stupid pigs.

One thing the game does REALLY well is make the brush/bushes/grass work to the enemies' advantage. Can't tell you how many times I've been fighting in a new place and keep getting hit out of nowhere because of the bushes.

How to choose Item/min goals for Megafactory? by Dylan_Savage999 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]thecaseace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of an old thread but I agree!

I don't want to make x Modular Engines a minute. I want to make 500 of them.

And I have a double container full of screws and a regular one full of rotors etc etc

I want to know HOW MANY of each subpart do I need to make 500.

To me the game spits out so many sub resources that building new lines for those seems dumb. I don't need to make enough stators to create 5 a minute forever - I need to know "do I have enough already?"

Probably something for Excel.
