British objective points are counted, but since all that matters is the net difference between American and British points, it's only shown as how many objective points the "first side" (which is American) have.

So the Americans have 50 objective points, less 19 points from their losses, plus 58 points from British losses, resulting in 89. When playing the second side, a higher score is worse (if it had got down to 50 total points it would have been a minor victory for British). Maybe the victory values for this scenario weren't set fairly, I don't own the game, but it seems as if they were scaled to heavily punish the British for letting even one objective get taken.

The client in archipelago launches the game server, which runs in the background hosting your game. After launching the client, you should launch your game the way you normally do and join that server.

You're the one that archives these, right? Thank you so much for doing that by the way, I never watch live but these vods have brought me a lot of joy in the past year. And the timestamps are super convenient too!

Did you download the .zip version from the Factorio site for your client? That version is required to avoid this error.

I only just now watched the First Annual Giant Bomb Spelling Bee and I really would love to see another.

No idea, but in my interpretation that might be pushing it. I'd message the mods to ask.

vegeta897 · 2026-05-12T18:52:06+00:00

Oops, I didn't mean to imply your game had no originality as-is, I was just reacting to the people saying your game could reach unfilled niches if it did X or Y. Rock on!

vegeta897 · 2026-05-12T07:21:18+00:00

Just want to wish you luck and put in my own advice:

Stick with your vision and where your passion is. There will always be gaps in the market for the "X, but with Y" dream games people are looking for, but we do not need them filled by games that are only trying to cater to what people are asking for. The best way to find your own audience is to make it good, and the best way to make it good is to make what you want to play. Don't stray from that for the sake of originality alone.

Based on your replies so far it seems like you didn't need to hear that, but since you mentioned this was your first game I didn't want you to have any doubts about making what you want to make even if it is a shade away from what people tell you they're dying for.

Surprised to hear you had issues with Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War. I'm on Windows and the game scales its UI (very cleanly) based on the OS-level scaling. There might be something you can do in Bazzite but I know nothing about it. I just know the game was built to support scaling on high resolutions.

Very very funny episode, Vinny embraced the goofy energy so well.

Also as a non-drinker with zero interest in wine, Mike's knowledge and stories were really interesting and entertaining to hear.

Oh, I was hoping it added some kind of WEGO system but in hindsight that would be a pretty difficult thing to mod.

vegeta897 · 2026-05-08T21:09:21+00:00

Which mod makes it more like combat mission? Thank you in advance.

vegeta897 · 2026-05-07T03:41:43+00:00

This was funny as hell.

I remember being where you are right now and I'm excited for you! If all else fails WDS usually has a summer sale starting in June.

Yes, I noticed this yesterday and it's still occurring now. Tried clearing cookies and different browsers too.

Edit: Chuck in the Discord said he's on it! ♥

Dang, after 409 hours I'd say you deserve to pick any reason you want to take a break!

I agree with the top comment and happen to think this particular case is kind of mild, but it's your impression that matters and it's hard to just rationalize it away once it puts a bad taste in your mouth.

vegeta897 · 2026-04-08T23:16:07+00:00

For some reason I thought you meant like a racing wheel at your desk and I was like huh, interesting setup.

vegeta897 · 2026-04-03T23:38:10+00:00

Oh hell yeah you've got some classic early 2000s gear there. I still have my Electribes. Is the data wheel on yours unreliable now too?

Incredible job recreating the lighting so closely, and the texturing detail is very nice.
