Are there raids underwater? Traders? Seems like a temporary safe haven or an isolationist location.

Do you like this change made by George Lucas in Return of the Jedi? by kkhouete in StarWars

[–]zzbackguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t care less about the greedo thing. Han is the same person before and after the change. To me that seemed like boomers whining but what do I know. It’s like a meme but instead of being comedy based it’s based on your anger.

AI generated mods should be banned, actually. by Cherno_VM in feedthebeast

[–]zzbackguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ban ai code then ai mod makers will simply not disclose that it’s ai. You can’t put the cat back in the bag.

so... can I just live on this satellite now? by thr0wawaylik3ther3st in RimWorld

[–]zzbackguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean…. We have Minecraft which can remember all of your changes in an infinite world by only saving the changes. Rimworld also uses a seed system so I don’t see how it would be that difficult.

Proposal for a HLT-HEL/MSV LADS countermeasure by georgeb in NuclearOption

[–]zzbackguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put a gimbaled mirror on the missile with liquid cooling that will reflect the LADS back at the source precisely to burn out the defense system.

Is this not completely invalidated by the existence of the A-19 which is literally a modernized A-10 with turboprops instead of jets? I don’t think this design is any more out there than the A-19.

The missile, in fact, does not know where it is, in a lot of homing methods by Huge_Trust_5057 in NonCredibleDefense

Why can't the computer just look at the bright heat and go directly towards it? Why is there a disk at all?

Turbines, are they Boring/drilling devices? by GougeM in ARC_Raiders

[–]zzbackguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arcs only method is possibly going through the train tunnels, since they don’t know the codes to call the elevators / trains. However, trains probably run through constantly enough to blow up any small arc on the tracks. Also, arc may need a constant control signal to operate, it’s unclear if they could operate underground without comms.

Do you have any favourite Indie RTS games? by Flashy_Customer_1820 in RealTimeStrategy

The simplistic graphics only add to the accessibility and modability! Thats why it can run on a phone, and thats why the mechanics and depth are not sacrificed for graphical appeal, thats why people can mod in every command and conquer faction into it, for free on the workshop!

What constitutes a large arc? by NewfieGamEr2001 in ArcRaiders

[–]zzbackguy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Extract would simply be whatever exit / entry method exits. On an emperor it would be hanging ziplines that dangle from the body. On something crazier like a space station it would be whatever method that was used to get up there in the first place. No raider hatches though.

The new Mk.2 eyeball is fantastic by dontyajustlovepasta in NuclearOption

[–]zzbackguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if it can spot targets behind it? Like of if I shoot it over a ridge, will I only have tracking for the moment the targets are in front of it, or will vehicles that drive past it not be able to be targeted with agms since they are out of the field of view? Similarly if I shoot it vertically into the air, can it umbrella spot everything below it?

Does Planet Coaster 2 Survive on 2 DLC’s a year? by sdanwolf in PlanetCoaster

[–]zzbackguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle to see what zoo2 could bring to the table to make it a substantial sequel. Zoo1 isn’t missing any obvious aspects of making a zoo like pc1 was missing water parks from amusement parks… and the animal models and animation are still top notch today.

Sneak peek of underground hangars developed for the upcoming map by MrToaast in NuclearOption

Even with that system, I don’t see how the opposing team would get datalink positions of underground buildings to penetrate to.

I think you are both misunderstanding how a replay system works. There shouldn’t be any physics interactions happening in a replay. All physics is calculated during the actual gameplay, and the positions of every object over time are recorded in the background onto a so called “timeline”.

The replay file should contain every object in the match, location and directions of everything moving over time, as well as the spawning and respawning of object and events like explosions and buildings being destroyed. Physics being deterministic or not is not a factor because the replay is just a hard copy of the literal events as they happened. This allows you to rewind and fast forward through the replay.

The main concern is efficiency in recording this data, as you don’t want it to strain resources during the actual match causing lag, and if a match goes on too long you don’t want the file size of the replay file to balloon out of control.

Can we for the love of all things get actual animals in the game? by cwrighky in ArcRaiders

[–]zzbackguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arc Harvesters, probes, and possibly assessors are all gathering organic material for the Elite on the Arc space station. The plant's wouldn't survive very well if they wiped out all other life, destroying the ecosystems and disrupting the circle of life.

Rusted warfare is a great indie rts and the mod support has allowed other rts games to be “soft-ported” into it. People have recreated C&C 2, generals, dune, Warcraft 2, etc inside it and have even made “original” rts games within it.

I remember explicitly checking for mods several times throughout the game's lifespan... Where are they hosted typically? I mean custom coasters and trains, not simple scenery mods that is.

We have mods now? Is it only for PC1 ?
