>bought this on steam sale
>it's fucking fun as hell

Is this just not a very well known game? It's still in early access but I got 50 hours on content out of it before hitting the end of the current content.

>>714675815 (OP)
one of my all time favourites, imo any survival crafter with procedural generation is automatically shit AF and Grounded both solve that by having a perfectly crafted world but I think the one in AF is supreme. I love slowly opening the map up, finding shortcuts to make my runbacks faster. also yeah, it's kinda niche for now

>>714675815 (OP)
Game is so ass to play solo
>Just get friends
lol

>>714675815 (OP)
I made it to the reactors and got burnt out, everything down there takes so long to kill, deals so much damage and healing never really got any better than it was at the start. World design is some of the best though, love all the shortcuts.

>>714675815 (OP)
I play it solo but coop is way more fun desu

>>714675815 (OP)
>Is this just not a very well known game?
Its one of a whole slew of co-op survival FOTM games. They're all designed to be streamer bait. A new one with a new gimmick comes out seemingly every month. So everyone drops the previous one and migrates to the new one. Last month or the month before it was REPO, robots stealing a bunch of shit from locations. This month its one where you and your friends climb up a mountain together. Next month there is bound to be another. They just keep shitting them out

>>714679752
you're actually fucking retarded to put this game in the same category as those, those games all have simple gameplay surrounding a very simple concept. AF is mashing together lots of old school gaming vibes and doing it with an insane amount of love and care. Seriously please don't open your mouth when you don't know wtaf you're discussing and have never played any of the games

>>714679904
How about you shut the fuck up. Its clearly in the same genre. Its co-op survival trash. And there is a reason why you think its so obscure. Because everyone already moved on from it long ago to the next one in the trend. You're late to the party

>>714675815 (OP)
All backpacks from now should have the jetpack function because otherwise I'm going to be stucked with the longjump until the game ends, or even better, make a slot for the jetpack.

>>714678754
It's even more ass to play in co-op imo, someone will always miss some cool shit happening.

>>714675815 (OP)
i brought it just because the devs seems nice and its obviously gldsrc nostalgia bait despite not being gldsrc. i don't actually play crafting survival shit.

you can laugh and call me reddit if you want.

>>714679904
>insane amount of love and care
Oh fuck off

>>714680285
I'm not gonna call you reddit, but I am going to call you stupid for buying a game to not play it.

No one in my list wants to buy it to play with me, I get bored after the first TP, also I hate durability

>le human vs da monster
>ya gots to survive n stuff
>oh hoo hoo its puzzly
No take your boring unimaginative shit game and suffocate on your mediocre product. Maybe next time around let people be the monster and splatter every last human throughout the game all over the walls, floor, and ceiling.

>>714680112
or maybe if you weren't a mouth breather you'd compare it to an actual genre it's a part of which is the endless slew of EA survival crafters. AF shares nothing with Repo, Lethal Company or Peak except the coop nature, fundamentally different experiences. All those FOTM games you describe aren't meant to be played for hundreds of hours, they're just a few weekends of fun with the boys and then maybe a game here and there for old times sake. I'm over 200 hours deep on my solo AF save and the game hasn't fully released yet. Maybe next time try playing any of the games you decide to shit on, or get friends to play with. It's much more entertaining that way!

>>714680172
If they aren't already working on it, they could add mods for the backpack like what they're doing for weapons. Put in a jetpack mod and steal some ideas from Fallout 76's backpacks like fridge mods or weight reduction mods for certain item types

>>714680326
Compare it to any other slop they're shoving these days. This game has soul and if you played for ten seconds you'd realize it's made by people who love old school gaming.

>>714680550
>200 hours solo
>telling other people to get friends
keep coping

>>714680378
Just do what I did and tweak the durability in the sandbox sliders, I also maxxed out enemy damage to balance the challenge a bit better

>>714675815 (OP)
great game, gets kinda grindy though but at least you can adjust/disable shit like sleep/hunger/degradation
Latest area burned me out though, the new enemies are a pain to fight

>>714679752
You would know it's not a streamer bait game if you just played it for an hour or two. That's like saying Grounded or Forest sequel is FOTM or streamer bait when it's neither.

I really liked abiotic factor, I need to get back into it

>>714680645
I'm a vidya addict what can I say. Every day after work is 4+ hours of gaming and the weekends are for when my normie friends want to game.

You can activate longjump pack by holding it in your hotbar and double jumping.

>>714680902
it's releasing fully on the 22nd so now's a good time

It's a hidden gem

>>714680980
What does fully mean? New area and an ending?

>>714675815 (OP)
I love how much it clearly loves Half-Life. Needs more unspeakable horrors though. The main alien invasion force aren't even as horrific as headcrab zombies.

God, fuck off. "Survival games" are for you to experience yourself, and personalize your own base and equipment. That's the exact opposite of "streamer bait."

>>714681043
1.0 release, final zone and I assume some kind of closure, they did say though that 1.0 isn't the complete end of development. Idk what they have planned next though

It's the 1.0 update, final area and conclusion although they plan to continue updating it after

So you're mad that he wants to talk about an extremely well received game? Despite the fact I've seen like 3 threads on this subject... ever? You fags always on the hunt for "LE SHILLS" is embarrassing. You're why we can never talk about anything but the latest Kojimbo "masterpiece."

I play mostly coop slop and shit like warframe. I'll admit I have atrocious taste but I have fun

it just missed out on the streamer buff that games like Lethal Company and REPO recieved

>>714682304
barotrauma is for me the only one which stood the test of time

>>714682304
Probably because it's not a coop physics based map looter. It has nothing in common with LC or REPO besides players being on the same side.

>>714681170
You type like a twitter nigger. You don't fit in. Kill yourself.

>>714682612
Uh oh she's seething now..

Grounded 2 and Abiotic Factor dropping within a week? Yeah we eating good bros

I played it on launch with two friends and we had fun. Although one friend just stayed in base and cooked all the time and never explored with us. I think he was upset because the game gives you a few pistols and eventually smg's but ammo is so fucking rare than no one can even use them. Combat in general needed some more polish but felt alright given the graphics and rest of the game. It was funny when we got to the point that the floating alien would spawn and our friend at base would freak out saying its watching him and eventually killed him.

>>714683152
>but ammo is so fucking rare than no one can even use them
it doesn't matter, the guns are total dogshit. le wacky science weapons are always way way better

>>714678754
>Game is so ass to play solo
i actually liked playing it solo more than co-op cause i got to explore at my own pace and listen to all the audiotapes/read the emails without waiting for someone else to get up to me.
playing co-op was kinda stinky cause you're constantly stopping for someone else to be on to go to the parts you haven't explored yet.

>>714683056
I like abiotic factor a hell of a lot more than grounded. Now THAT is a grindy game.

>>714683152
>ammo is so fucking rare
guns are badly balanced and the inability to craft gun ammo means melee and the DIY guns are superior
the crossbow is pretty decent with headshots and the shotgun does massive damage at point blank
later on you can craft a semi-auto crossbow which fixes the slow fire rate/load issue, but by that point you can craft the laser which destroys almost everything at the cost of being annoying to recharge when it runs out of juice

Not much lore to dump, it was supposed to be a zombie survival game back in 2013 or so, they overpromised, kept trying to remake the game 3 times and on the 3rd they switched the engine and dropped the whole game because "gamedev is hard guys, we give up", no refunds or any kind of compensation was given.
Essentially one of if not the first early access/greenlight scams.
>>714682147
You've seen 3, I've seen a hundred.
The game is nothing special, it's as basic as basic can be survival game with shitty gameplay but a great setting and premise which are only good because both are pretty much carbon copied from half-life, the idea is good but the execution not so much.

The absolutely shameless dev shilling in this thread is unreal

>>714675815 (OP)
It's 35 dollar EAslop that's too pretentious and/or greedy to go on a meaningful sale, so they just peddle you shitty 20ish% offs. You have to be really lucky to get away with that kind of shit as an indie developer.

>I can't believe people are talking about videogames on /v/
How did these subhumans get here?

>>714683969
yeah man, i bet the devs care about the 25 boomers who still use this dogshit site. I hate you so much it's unreal. Let's have yet another 50 million gacha threads and kojima hate instead

>>714683879
>The game is nothing special
I've personally never seen a survival crafting game taking place inside of office buildings and labs, nor have a I seen many legitimate love letters to Half-Life, so no, I don't agree.
>pretty much carbon copied from half-life
It's homage, anon. Blatant, surface-level homage. If you can't see that, you're clearly looking at this through a lens of butthurt.

You're actually a retarded person if you think anyone is above shilling anywhere, anon.

>>714683784
dunno, I guess he just wasn't as into the game as he pretended to be

we ended up playing corekeeper instead which was fun too

>>714683520
NTA but I enjoyed it, even though it very heavily underdelivered in horror department (despite everyone shitting their pants over these saturday-morning disney tadpoles).
The only somewhat scary survivalhorroropenworld game I played is the first Forest. Even in coop it was quite unsettling sometimes.

>>714684254
Obviously I'm watching this through a lens of butthurt, I did mention I will never forgive the devs for The Dead Linger in my first post.
Like I said I do like the setting and premise but the gameplay itself is not great.

>>714684374
I mean maybe so but they even said they didn't buy a slot at the summer games fest because their game has gotten all the exposure it's going to get. I just don't see the point in trying to get the few handful of anons here who still play vidya to buy their product

>>714684371
That might be a reason why players would discuss it more too. You know people get hype closer to major updates, right?

>>714683835
kek

>>714678754
solo is the only way I've been able to make progress in the game because every time my friends have wanted to play it they get bored or too drunk or something by the time we get our first base set up.

>>714678864
1.0 is adding an upgrade bench. will hopefully make things better
that aside, are you using the right weapons? your only real weapon options for damage at that point are
>laser gun, alt fire can make quick work of most things but its ammo hungry so you'll want a teleporter for quick travel. important note: overshooting a corpse has a high chance ruin any butcher materials.
>laser katana, not as ammo hungry but far less damage
>impact hammer, can one shot almost anything (except the miniboss enemies) with a heavy sneak attack, but its too slow to feasibly use for anything else even with its bonus damage on low hp enemies
>explosive sledge, deals as much base damage as the impact hammer, but with explosive cartridges it can deal and additional x2.5. downside is that the explosive rats are a bit spongey.
>quill spear, enough damage for a light weapon, but takes exor quills as ammo.
>antique shotgun, once you get into the reactor anteverse, shotgun ammo becomes a non issue. but thats also the current end of content. cant do much but prepare for 1.0 at that point.

>>714681104

>>714686785
you can't imagine how prepared for 1.0 i am. Stacks on stacks of every resource in the game

>$27 early access game
Pass, try making another thread when it releases

>>714687067
1.0 in two weeks (real), its nearing release. people are excited and want to talk about it.
the devs have also adhered to their roadmap pretty well, the only delays were for other content updates.

>>714686785
I don't remember if this is before or after that point, but catch this little fucker in a net as soon as you see him. Just keep a barrel of toxic goo to fill him up. You'll need to scoop radioactive waste and bring it home but it lasts good amount of refills.
Also, the "Deatomizer" is so good, I built two. The ammo generator you place in your base is efficient enough for 2 full charges anyways, if you leave it be long enough.

>>714684695
way i did it was just playing with friends to explore new areas and use them as human shields/bait, then go grind for weapons and armor when they're offline

>>714675815 (OP)
Not to sound like a shill but kudos to the devs for actually using the early-access model, delivering big patches on a timely manner and actually sticking to their plan of being in early access for roughly a year in total

>>714686949
i've been working on a teleporter network to every area of conceivable note (one in every region except the offices the place has been cleaned of everything of conceivable value, to every anteverse, to every trader and resource converter) but it takes so fucking long to wait for the lodestones because they are tied to anteverse resets and i dont want to burn myself out.
oh but lodestone fragments i have 200 of. no problem in that department. wish we could combine them even if it was inefficient as all hell.

>game starts out as "half-life scientist survival simulator"
>escape manufacturing and get to the labs for the first time

The game became very unfun for me when you go to the Exor village and the enemies start teleporting inside your asshole and hitting you with an attack you have 0.1 of a second to react to.

>>714689084
The one in the swamp?

>>714689084
the teleportation and spear-skewer-rush thing is annoying as shit, they need to increase the CD on the teleportation

>>714683152
they buffed up ammo drop rates and non-crafted gun durability plus allowing you to fix them relatively early on because they were fucking dogshit intially
>ah yes i would like an smg that breaks after emptying it out twice

>>714689084
the spear exor are the one enemy where i think the game would be genuinely improved with its outright removal.
everything else has a strategy but those faggots actually teleport right behind you and grind you down in seconds EVEN WITH THE MOUNTAINEER ARMOR (most protection in the game)
deatomizer? haha fuck you it'll teleport as soon as the beam connects.
worst part is that they can spawn elsewhere in the facility after you visit the exor village.
the shortcut to the reactors in the cafeteria, one can spawn in there. unless you've got the whole spot protected with crafting benches it'll get ya eventually (or destroy something important)

>>714689084
You're better off going stealth through that village. Kill a few of the high tier enemies for their junk, but don't engage most of them.

>>714689901
since you'll have the jetpack by that point you can (and should) just float to the center, stealth attack the exor there, grab the fungus melter its protecting, and gtfo

>>714690054
There's a big Exor NPC you can talk to up top, but I don't recall if there's any incentive to meet him. I do like the exor armor set though, so feel free to collect enough parts to make that.

>>714690463
you get a note on the area thats more or less
>hmmm yes. i dont think im welcome here.

>tier 3 security bots
>mobile weapon platforms of death, if you're unlucky two could focus you at once. you need a solid strategy regardless of your gear.
>tier 4
>"lmao just stand on a ledge above it"
i was disappointed, to say the least.

>>714690054
they changed it so jetpacks are disabled until you run through an anteverse for the first time

>>714691545
right i forgot.
still, a mad dash to the center is the most viable option.

>>714691526
it's ok, the rapekeepers make that entire section a fucking chore on their own

>>714681312
It's not out yet dude.

>>714678754
Gotta crank down the difficulty settings because it's balanced around multiple people, but other than that it's pretty alright solo.

>>714691689

but how else will you get fertilizer if you aren't poop maxing?

It's alright, I like exploring the different labs and stuff but all the areas that aren't in the complex itself seem kind of shit and annoying though
If your game is inspired by half-life then surely you'd know to just axe xen like a normal person

>>714693137
fish in the poop dimension. you get there using coffees to force shit yourself

Post loadouts

>>714693290
specifically on the laser toilet to clarify its a 1% chance

I tend to get burnt out on these games very quickly if I don't at least 2 friends to spread out the load of crafting stuff. I do find it very satisfying when you've finally got all the gear you wanted and are able to move around the map using your tools and knowledge.

My least favorite part is probably base building and needing a big workbench, and all the containers for your stuff, and them power for the stuff, and them Traps to protect your stuff, just to make a lot of the cooler gear. I like these survival games more when it's about progressing instead of building little camps. Though I know some people love house keeping.

>>714689084
the spear alien is insane

>>714693593
the chance is increased to 50% if you don't have the achievement

>>714693772
theres one area on the map which is the ideal spot:
the security office in the offices map, lvl 2. once you unlock the shutters and the door (get there after hacking the keypad near where the manufacturing west entrance is), its perfect for a base. lots of room, two levels, shutters close to close it off, enemies only spawn outside of it (typically). also has vending machines and a coffee machine

also when you unlock teleporters you stop needing little camps.

I want CrissCrossGal to deepthroat me so badly, bros.

>>714679752
You never played the game.

>>714692569
between the cast he is the second choice, yes

>>714679752
your input is valuable and valid, anon

>>714695732
if you set up in the cafeteria spreading your stuff out will always spawn enemies outside the doors (a perfect choke for turrets) and you have direct access to the rest of the facility from the lobby (and with 1.0 will only need a short trip through level 2 offices for the residential sector)
only downside is that you arent directly close to anything valuable, have to take a tram or shortcut for everything (which is of course solved with teleporters but thats late game)

runs like shit and setuping a new base every 20 m is a hassle. the maps shouldnt have been so big this is not an immersive sim

>immersive sim
well you're retarded so you probably wouldnt enjoy a game about scientists anyways.

>>714697037

good for you sloptard, your game ist still dogshit and looks like it too

>>714696779
>broken furniture leave no resources to salvage for recuperating
maybe not the ikea furniture, but everything else like crafted stations and boxes that are broken in the base converts back into deployables. you could also just turn off NPCs destroying things in sandbox menu, but then I would tell everyone that you didn't beat the video game.

>>714697123
define immersive sim.

>>714696958
You...dont need to set up a base every twenty minutes. I had 4 bases (including my main base) total the entire game and got through just fine. Surely you can resource manage, right?

>>714696958
>the maps shouldnt have been so big
it's deceptive, you unlock a LOT of shortcuts as you progress, the last zone they added is the most annoyingly large one

>>714695732
I set up in the little lounge right here, it's a bit cramped and definitely not big enough for co-op but its got a coffee machine, some cabinets, two outlets, nice lighting and a TV.

>>714697307
i have had exactly one base for the entirety of my playthrough.
at most i have extra crafting benches to prevent enemy spawns near my teleporters. but thats it really.

Are you ever actually safe

>>714697640
no
there is nowhere that is completely and totally absolutely 100% safe
even if you set up in the security office and close the shutters, there's at least one entity that can still get to you

>>714679752
Based, made the shills mad

>>714697640
there are certain areas where you never have ambient spawns showup but base invasions can still happen where the enemies portal in. Overall though they're complete nothingburgers until you get the three flying gatekeepers at once

>>714696491
Why do all the NPCs sound uncanny except for Manse? Is this intentional or is this just kiwi voice acting

>>714697640
No.

>>714697307
>>714697343
the first 1 or 2 hours were peak, legit enjoyed it but wandering around the big map was ass. It should have had a darkwood approach where when you setup a new base somewhere else your items get teleported to your new base at a cost. There is literally no reason to backtack ever and transporting items from base to base is retarded and unfun. granted i only got to the offices in the what , 3 or 4th floor at which point the way to and back were too long with too many loading screens.

>>714697554
i did the only reasonable thing there is to do with that room

>>714697975

he's playing on a ten year old Windows HP laptop and everytime he hits a loading zone his entire game freezes for 3 minutes while the game loads the shaders

>>714697940
Eat shit you fucking thing.

>>714693552
Bro, your soup bowl...

>>714698048
since when and what are the conditions? When i setup a new base i never got an option to transport items. had to do everything manually at which point i said fuck it

>not setting up shop in the mirror world

>>714698960
too liminal, gives me anxiety

>>714696491
Some say he is commenting on the facility's construction. I say he can teleport/vibrate through solid objects and thick layers of concrete is a nuisance to him.

>>714693552
i've been looting, a bit.

>>714699692
i kneel

>>714698839
Got to upgrade your bench iirc

>>714686949
my man nooooo, 1.0 invalidates progress and cuts resources to 1/10 to prevent this, you haven't read the dev post right? ah shiit

>>714699747
i cleared out the office sector.
i have eight large crates dedicated to furniture.
i think im going to limit myself to a crate for a specific item and then scrap the rest.

I have over 100 hours in AF pre-Dark Energy and I'm stoked for Cold Fusion. Fuck luddites, fuck magick mercs and FUCK JANNIES!

>>714698960
gm_flatgrass looking motherfucker

>>714675815 (OP)
we're waiting for 1.0

>>714696491
So when did you figure it out? For me it was in the dark world.

>>714702008
Oh I knew immediately. No fucking way a scientist gets trapped just oh so conveniently like that. I was suspicious, but suspicions were confirmed when I read the computer entry. I fucking LOVE the one you get way later on, where the scientist is like "Yknow, maybe hes not such a bad guy. I feel kinda bad for hi-DO NOT LISTEN, SHOOT THIS FUCKING THING, NEVER RELEASE IT, LOCK IT AWAY FOREVER". That made me feel some flavor of dread, and I really enjoyed that.

>>714702584
Shame you can't try and kill him. At least not yet anyway.

>>714675815 (OP)
It was my GOTY last year and it wasnt even finished.

>>714693552
i was partway through exploring the last area in the update before stopping
slush bombs are OP as fuck though

>>714702008
There's literally a nearby hologram that talks about it. I knew before I opened the door. or shortly after? I cant remember exactly where it is.
Now, I wonder if that bell will be used for anything in the full release. I know the game is more Half-Life than SCP, but a few more anomalous random stuff wouldn't hurt. I hope that goo wall blocked off section has a whole new batch of weird shit to mess with.

I kinda wanna fuck Commander Fili. I wanna save her too, of course, but penguin sexoooooooooooo and all that.

>>714704952
every patch I go to check if that wall can be removed now

>>714683358
Thats why you play with like minded friends who want to progress together.

>>714683256
Shame that the last perk you get in the ranged-weapons talents doesn't even do anything with sciency weapons. All it does is giving you access to more advanced military rifles via a piece of equpment that ruins your set bonus. And these weapons are still ass, with way too limited ammo. What gives? I get they want players to focus on self-crafted weapons, but then why not have a final perk that actually leans into that?

>first playthrough
>get dropped into Silent Hill
>learn that if I take three power cores the giants get to be free
>only take two, and then leave the way I came, never completing the area
I have never experienced the fog, and I never will. Bit sad that theres nothing really unique for that, other than no fog. The weird guy still leaves the zone, and the giants still show up eventually in Hydro, but still.

>>714705474
yeah, the military weapons need to be WAAAAAY better to justify getting rid of your set bonus. At most theyre alright, but it needs to be much better than "alright" for me to ever use them in exchange for my arm slot.

>>714698093
agreed, I actually dig it. Makes it feel more akin to HL

In the test chamberrrrrr.

>>714705494
opening the portal let them free anyway anon, whether or not you take all three power cores is irrelevant

>>714698659
I'm so glad this device exists. I just wish it had a bigger eyeball reserve tank. I don't like babysitting it.

>>714705494
they significantly reduced the probability of weather events because there used to be no way to disperse the fog so you had a whole day essentially wasted when it (frequently) occurred

>>714698960
I'd rather set up shop inside the arcade game. I would have, if I had bothered to make a teleporter.

>>714700178
But... why?

I'm so tired of making Ixior soup. Its by far the most efficient soup in the game, it feeds five players with 3 ingredients, but i've been making it for the entire 44 hours my playtrough with friends has been taking. And also somehow i'm still not even close to being maxed out on the cooking stat, despite bieng the only person who cooks all meals.

>>714706916
cute dumpire

>>714697554
You really didn't have to pick the smallest room. That whole area outside it, between the glass door and the door that gets smashed leading to the plaza is completely safe. No enemies spawn in there at all. Lots of room for storage crates and shit. You only have to watch the glass double-doors and maybe put up a little chest-high barrier to instantly stop intruders from the plaza.

Fun game, moreso with just one bro.

Favorite base locations? We’re set up in the labs by the aquariums on that upper floor with all the cabinets, but I want to check out the new homeworld once the patch drops

I'd enjoy it a lot more if "invasions" actually sieged your little safety hole instead of just teleporting in.

At the moment there's literally no point in barricades or anything like that because of it.

It'd add to the comfy factor as well knowing you built defenses that actually keep you safe.

>>714707729
The room is comfy though, it feels like a little apartment of your own instead of camping out in a cafeteria.

>>714707012
I changed the learning rate to like 3x, otherwise you seriously cannot progress skills in multiplayer without excessive game time

>>714708086
You might be still early-game if you've only experienced portal storms. You will get The Order raiding your base, rappelling down from the ceiling and kicking down your barriers.

>>714708164
But I like the cafeteria. I'm my own lunch-lady.

>>714708319
The thing is they repel down from INSIDE your base and start fucking things up.

Maybe its an issue with detecting the boundary of my bases? But my main base with my friends was always behind the foundry guy, across that long bridge.

>>714708495
Really? For me they came down inside the plaza and assaulted my base from there. In fact, every instance of a human raid, I had them attack from rooms adjacent to mine.

>Maybe its an issue with detecting the boundary of my bases?
Could be. I also picked a really basic home base, so maybe I lucked out.

>>714708495
Is there even a way to properly plan and prepare for invasions where you don't end up having to fight every single fucking time

>wiki says the reaper will teleport you into the shadow realm instead of killing you unless you damage it with a laser/xray first
>the thing actually just killed me every time
Lying sacks of shit.

>>714708708
If you really hate raids, there might be a server setting to disable them. But there are ways to immunize yourself. One of the bench upgrades completely disables portal raids. It'll zap them closed and you'll be safe for the night. Which does cut down on what you have to stick around for.

>>714708708
If you hold up inside the security office in the office sector and fix the door, the AI have no way of getting inside unless they can teleport. They will just stand outside and stare inside at you until you let them in.

>>714708729
Same. Every time he just offed me. So either my luck is bad or that's a feature they didn't implement.

>>714708863
I don't hate raids I hate how you can't just go full Home Alone on their asses

>>714708863
the bench upgrade only disables portal raids not 'regular' raids where enemies spawn way off and move towards your base, without portals

>>714709432
That's what I was driving at, yeah.
