Space Wyrm edition

What the heck is this
/indie/ is the general for all indie games, such as Pragmata, Age of Decadence, A Hat in Time, Axiom Verge, Baba Is You, Battle Brothers, Card City Nights 2, Cave Story, Civilization, CrossCode, Cultist Simulator, Darkest Dungeon, Darkwood, DashBored, Dead Cells, The Desolate Hope, Disco Elysium, Environmental Station Alpha, FTL, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Knytt, LISA, Lobotomy Corp, Loop Hero, Machinarium, Middens, Monolith, Monster Train, Noita, OFF, OneShot, Rimworld, Rain World, Scav Prototype, Slay the Spire, Starsector, Subnautica, Sunless Skies, Underrail, VA-11 HALL-A, Yume Nikki, etc., as well as other games that just don't fit in any other general such as Atelier, Pillars of Eternity, Rayman, and Valkyria Chronicles. /jrpg/ is welcome. Idle, roguelite, shmup, 4x / RTS / city-builders, and RPGMaker games are cool too.

Mobile or consoles, Flash or Unity, freeware or early access. This place is a home for the indie game community and indie and obscure games that don't have a home. So be free to talk and share all your hidden gems, forgotten games and starving devs here.

>Can I talk about games that already have a general?
We mostly discuss games that are not popular enough for their own threads, however, all indie games are allowed. So talk about them if you want, but don't overdo it since you already have other generals for that.

Why was the other vandalized?

>>535079695 (OP)
This webm gives me anxiety.

Let's try to get through this thread faster than the last one.

>>535080072
No one knows, presumably to drive people away from the general

Use this one, let the new vandalized one die off

/indie/ is back!

>>535079904
Build wide, give everything its own space, treat each fluid individually.

>>535081023
Enjoy getting yourselves to page 10 everyday

There are still traces of filth in the OP.

>>535081362
Better dead than furry.

Yeah, this is gonna suck.

>>535080025
Didn't have time, had to post the non vandalized thread ASAP so people moved

I'll try and remember it for next time

>>535081780
dafuq?

Hello?

>>535082223
You won't. I'll make it first.

>>535083837
Like hell you will.

ok i bought rise of the golden idol
artstyle seems worse and i dont like the ui as much (aside from no longer having to click every word and organise it all fuck that in case) but we shall see how the game progresses

>>535083837
As long as it's not fur slip again, sure

If it is, then we'll have a repeat of this week where everyone goes to the non vandalized thread, and the vandalized one gets fucking nuked ;)

>>535084660
I definitely will.

vandalized op doesn't achieve anything, it just makes people more averse to posted games
i feel bad because it's gonna be impossible to have a discussion about scav now like we had a few threads back because of the negative image

>>535082268
there's a town where the dev just threw in a bunch of art by the guy who does the face portraits.

>>535081780
A lot of the design in this game is grating yet it remains strangely compelling. Why is this?

Logic Bombs is a lot of fun.
Developer video: youtube.com/watch?v=x5bzBcFFP-k
Completed 1/4 of the puzzles so far and haven't felt hopelessly stumped by any yet but these last few have been tricky. Very satisfying to solve and each on individually doesn't take too long, done 40 (including tutorials) in 8 hours. Nothing too brain bending yet but am already waking up with visions of grid layouts and bombs, which is a good sign for a puzzle game.

>>535097280
git gud games to play instead of that trash

>>535098316
Nta. My main complaint playing Darkest Dungeon is that it's really hard to not reach for a guide because it feels like you are wasting time if you don't.
You need to know in each area what interactions work on what curios, what supplies to bring based on the area length/level, and what team compositions tend to work well.
If you don't look it up you can say goodbye to a handful of attempts and resources for every single area and every single level, which wastes exponentially more time from losing recruits the higher the level the mission. I can't even imagine doing the darkest dungeon levels blind, imagining all the max level + gear parties lost causes me pain.
I'm probably just an autistic retard that hates losing but it's how I felt while playing

I'm gonna copy/paste what i said on /v/ about Ludosity last week.
Ludosity used to be cool, they could have stayed a hidden gem, but instead they got ubris and pride and are now another punching bag to those outside their echo chambers.
Anyone know of any other indie company that is kino like what Ludosity used to be?
I got asked "Depends on what you mean by "like Ludosity". Aesthetically? Or do you want an indie studio who has built up their own little universe of iconic characters from different games?".
The thread archived before i got a chance to respond so my reply to that is, a little bit of both if possible, maybe even some crossover.

>>535100685
Who?

>>535101353
Ludosity.

holy shit they're making power fantasy just for me

>>535100685
is it pronounced "ludosity" or "ludo-sity"

>>535103235
good one

Voices of the Void does NOT have any aliens in it. Don't fall for their lies.

You're valuing your time, so you can't be autistic... At least not much high on the scale. That said, I feel you, checking wiki is how I approached Tales of Maj'eyal (great geimu). Knowledge checks doesn't appeal to me, either by lucking out the correct option or by unga bunga'ing the knowledge, there is simply no dopamine hit for me in that.

>>535107114
What did he mean by this?

>>535107114
Yeah I don't like One Piece either.

I'm about to play Lisa the Painful for the first time. Should I play on normal mode, or pain mode?

>>535109028
pain

>>535109217
Ok thanks. I wasn't sure since I've never played these games and I have no idea what to expect. Is it very difficult? I can handle challenge I just want to know what I'm getting myself into

>>535108362

Normal. Pain mode expects you to know what bullshit is coming.

>>535109414
I haven't played it. I just wanted to fuck with you (:
Wasn't ready for follow up questions.

>>535109830
Ok I'll play through normal mode. I'll deal with pain later

>>535107318
My issue is that when a game has a lot of knowledge checks and you need a wiki, you're basically running down a checklist instead of playing a game. Once you've seen a few permutations of xyz, you get bored and stop because it's going to be roughly the same shit everytime. Which is probably why I got bored of DF, Rimworld, Darkest Dungeon, and probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting. The only differences in each run in these games is the start (what trinkets/heroes you get early on in DD) and a smattering of rng throughout the run (which you've seen before half a dozen times so it isn't novel), however the way you play really doesn't change at all once you've figured out your optimal playstyle

>>535100685
Should i just ask this question on /v/ again?

>>535109997
Honestly fair enough. I would have done the same and made up more bullshit

Yes, I do.

OK, well thanks for letting me know i should ask /v/.

>>535105246
aw yeah

>>535102129
>>535105246
I remember trying a mobile game in the vein of that. It was shit and barely functional with an adblocker, but it was a neat idea and made me wish there was a real game like it. I'll have to keep an eye on this.

>>535114323
>>535115248
have another one

>>535117196
>>535105246
Cool demo. Hope they do more with the sensors in the full game, like using ambient temperature, cold vehicles, or more environmental heat sources to necessitate using something besides the thermals. Could also add more bright light sources for enemies to hide from NV under during dark missions.

>>535120210
>you can equip multiple weapons of the same type and then quickswitch to fire at obsene firerates

That or gooner bait yet the last few Slap City/Ludosity threads no one even bothered to post the gooner bait images.
Oh well, i guess i'll go on my quest for another indie company to check out here, and honestly i think i already found one.
Ever heard of Super Rare Games?

>>535128567
No, the only indie companies and entities I follow are ones who developed terrible, awful dinosaur games that I play daily, and I only keep tabs on them to find dirt on them

>>535129194
Huh... Well i give them a recommendation and suggest checking out their website and Wikipedia page.

>>535128567
The only thing i know about SRG is that Lovers in Outer Space ost is pretty good

Which game has the best main menu or start screen? A nice visual with some good music can really set the tone.
The Red Strings Club gets my vote; cool art, with a rich melancholy piano track, and it transitions seamlessly into the game then ties back into the finale later. Perfection.

>>535141398
i like carrion a lot
very meaty and dynamic
shame the rest of the game isn't as great as the menu

It had "furry" in the topic.

>>535157305
This is why they're not accepted anywhere. Just like hobos, they confuse tolerance for acceptance.

>>535158427
Furry as a label has become a negative sign, people see furries as licentious and corrupt for the actions furries themselves take. They refuse to change for the better or do something about the many, many ill's of their community, and then have the gall to act as victims.

No one hates anthropomorphic animals in a vacuum, but people hate furries for what they represent.

>>535158761
Yeah, I remember that Internet Historian video about a furcon made without banlist or blacklist.
They quickly learned why these conventions have blacklists.

>cheating at an easy game
Disappointing...

>>535172413
When you have spent multiple sessions doing nothing but running around trying to find another type of rock strata to prospect for an ore that is gating your progression, you too will increase the movespeed

>>535172887
No. I turn on console and give myself 64 hematite in granite.
I hate mining.

>>535172413
Vintage story combat is trash, it's just spam javelins and don't get hit, it's not hard.

Max movespeed is fun, bears can still catch up in a straight line, but it gives you a chance to escape if you don't feel like fighting. Also this >>535172887

Max hp makes you not oneshottable without armor, +7 healing items support that instead of low hp.
>>535172934
Cool, but iron is so common and the deposits so big that you can just explore a cave to find it.

>>535172934
I think I'm just retarded, but I've always loved mining in every game I've played. VS especially shook things up for me because I hadn't played a game before with multi-layer rock strata with a spreadsheet to consult for which ore can spawn where in what quantities, and what shape the ore generates in. Add prospecting and the weird sanity bullshit from going too deep and it made mining pretty interesting. You have to get to a point where you have enough spare food to run around for a few days on an expedition looking for a rock strata and ore. Once found you need to head back and gear up for another expedition to mine out the ore, bringing a lot of food and spare supplies like ladders, torches, bombs, more picks, etc. If you are going into a cave with ruins, the gear requirements exponentially go up with healing and armor. I found the mining to be pretty compelling, and the only thing in VS really worth playing it for.

>>535173607
Try tfc and tfc+

>>535174354
I've looked at tfc a few times but I really don't like having to choose between versions/modpacks and then finding out the one I chose is shit for xyz reason I couldn't have predicted dozens of hours in. If there is a consensus pick for it I could give it a go, but every search I've tried just gives mixed results every few years

>take a break from Cyberpunk 2077 after a sad mission
>play ghost of tsushima
>get depressed over how many civilians get killed
Why do I feel like all my games are depressing right now?

Has anyone played Void Terrarium? I liked the music and arsthetic of the demo but it doesn't seem like it requires any real strategy or tactics. Do more mechanics get introduced later?

Wish Steam has a way for me to filter games based on this

>>535176339
To be fair, the cyberpunk genre is specifically recognized for its dystopian and depressives themes, ain't for no reason the "there are no happy endings in night city" quote exist. And the other is mongol era warfare and if you know anything about them, you know it isnt going to be a joyride. You basically went from gochujang to spicy curry then wonder why you're sweating just as much.

>>535178548
I could fill a book about everything I hate in Cyberpunk, but what really irks me recently is the way corpo fuck workers on strike by abusing governement laws and loaning a factory to a corpo that get special treatment because they're essential Night City's privatized army.
And Ghost of Tsushima, well. Beside the many tortured and executed prisoners, there's also the unexplained fact that when Jin put on the Sakai armor, all the servants start having heart attacks. Ol' Sakai wasn't a jolly wangcore, was he?

>>535126842
what's the catch? is there any danger of AA fire?

>>535141398

https://juliancolbus.bandcamp.com/track/main-menu

>>535180696
Heh, the way you described night city corpos remind me of chinese corpos, except they do it to dodge accountability after defrauding their clients by reopening the building under the same management but a different corpo brand name, so they technically arent the same entity thus you cant sue them for actions done by a now "defunct" company.

>>535141398
Lies of P has several actually, it changes based on where you are in the game which is pretty cool.
>>535176339
Why do I feel like all my games are depressing right now?
The good news is you are not a total autist and have enough emotional intelligence to process the themes of what you are playing, If you want a palette cleanser try Donut Cunty or something.

>OFF Remake is coming out tomorrow

Thank god I'm too old to for this shit to give a fuck but knowing so makes me a tad bit sad

>>535185041
And its last update was 3 years ago, and there are apparently add on mods others have made and modpacks that include it. I don't want to play it without a definitive "best" version. I think that's the reason I took a liking to vs, it has all the shit I want in it already instead of being split between 40 fucking releases by random people

>>535184917
It wasn't a typo.

anyone here gonna play this? Probably gonna dive into it tomorrow, since i don't have much time today.
But the demo was nice.

>>535184618
I fucking hate that Cyberpunk is just an exageration of reality instead of being so insanely grimdark that you shrug and go "pfft as if that'd happen".

>>535184659
I'm gonna play Cinnabunny.

I hate that that snake doesn't drop anything.

>>535141398
Gun Godz might be worth installing for the title screen theme alone. It's hilarious.

Also you don't even have enough pumps to supply that power setup.

Can't blame satire for being too close to home, but I understand the sentiment and wish it was occasional rather than systemic.

Not sure if I'm cooking or not, but I have 16 of my miners on a separated power network that's fed by five solar panels. Theoretically if the boilers ever start to run out of coal they won't death spiral completely. Maybe.

Did someone say Cyberpunk? I think something is wrong with my copy.

>>535213585
>It isn't called dystopia just for shit and giggles.
That's the thing: it feels too realistic to be a dystopia. Millitech being paid to take over a factory just to abuse their right to execution strikers is just the Pinkerton with ballistic armours and automatic weapons.

>>535234703

>>535182918

>>535239276
Jjjust a bit.

>>535231009
I mainly wanted rooms and equipment for the og clans, and it seems like they're delivering on that, so I'm happy. Hopefully that'll help bring up their strength to new clan levels. For other stuff, troop probably needs changes, it's just way too op with synergies. I don't think numeric nerfs would even do it, the mechanic as designed is just busted.

I'm a real human bean.
>>535234968
NTA but Isn't that what dystopian settings are all about? Taking real problems and imagining what circumstances would exacerbate them. With cyberpunk dystopias being about how technology concentrates power, interferes with culture, and alienates people from each-other.

>>535240561
Forgot Image.

>>535240561
But that's the thing, nothing in Cyberpunk feels really dystopian. Except the food.
It feels like it's just a light parody of real life, instead of being real life but with the dumb parts cranked to eleven like in Warhammer 40000 where things are so bad it's downright absurd.

>>535234968
>it feels too realistic to be a dystopia
There's no rule saying a dystopia needs to be fantastical, nowadays the way people use the term doesn't even require it to be fictional.

>>535239372
This is the OG cat website.

Looks like the bastard child of Hotline Miami and Getting Over It

So playing Forgive Me Father 1 as my first boomer shooter. The last similar thing I played was Painkiller and its sequels like a decade ago.
The combat is a bit bland but the sprites are good. The plot seems to be nonexistent so far, but I'm going through the town to the port to do godknowswhat.

Yeah trying dice gambit out now. Still in the first act on the standard difficulty so haven't hit any major walls and I still don't quite understand how the eugenics works(Both my kids suck hard compared to my MC and spouse). That said overall impression is good. Not sure how replayable it is but the dice-based system is pretty well-thought out, the style is interesting with my major ding mark being the music that gets repetitive fast. Having a randomly voiced line when your dialogue is also unvoiced for the most part throws me off too

Damn, kicked off the force before I could retire myself.

Coincidentally, a heavy rainfall just started here and only *now* are the they of comparable strength.

Playing the demo for 5-10 minutes saved me from the predicament you're in. The game's 4 dollarydoos full price, so hopefully you'll be able to financially recover somewhere in the future.

>>535306830
I pirated it, it's just about the sunk time. And also I like finishing games, dropping a game 3/4th through is a fucking travesty.

>>535273307
>Still in the first act on the standard difficulty so haven't hit any major walls
let me know how the reactor goes for ya.
shit kicked my teeth in in the demo since i had absurd single target burst damage but folded hard when there was more than one big guy going after me.
just reached the point where the timer for the reactor starts and just made 2 kids and my build feels pretty different this time. Probably not any stronger though. Picking skills that cost more than 2 or 3 dice seems like a trap at this early point because i just don't throw enough out to roll 4 times the same symbol without heavy rerolls and even then it needs some decent luck. And i don't think i managed to fire this one once yet.
>I still don't quite understand how the eugenics works(Both my kids suck hard compared to my MC and spouse).
yeah, me neither. i think it just picks some skills from each parent and a random one and then lets you choose. Probably gets better with more relationship to the NPCs.

>>535306939
That's understandable. I've dragged myself through some dogshit games for the very same reason.

>>535273307
>I still don't quite understand how the eugenics works(Both my kids suck hard compared to my MC and spouse)
It doesn't.

>>535307087
Reactor was probably the first area in the game that actually felt like it was putting up a challenge compared to normal but still can't say it was too hard on the default difficulty. Granted I did end up with good HP eugenics(both MC and spouse had ~500HP, lowest HP on child was 450) picking a lot of dice roll stat boosts so me and the kids had 6 rolls per round with one of the kids even getting a couple of lucky levels during the expedition to have 8 rolls(which of course after marrying him off to a spouse who had great attack stat---he has 80 she has 160---, their child had shit stats all around), and I haven't really felt at risk of dying at all on any of my dudes. For reference my MC mainly focuses on vanguard skills just stacking up shield and doing damage by doing so, child 1 went berserker and his 8 rolls + the skills that restore HP help him recover, and the other child is the weakest of my reactor trio and had really poor level ups but she was still a body.

>Dice Gambit
Never has a trailer made a worse first impression in the first 3 seconds. Does the game itself just have character portraits and readable dialogue? Looks worth trying but more obnoxious voice and animation like that would be a deal breaker.

>Fall for youtube slop and get primordialis because the gameplay looked interesting
>Its meh and there is barely any variation in early builds so you always end up doing the same thing that work again and again

I mean its not from lack of trying either, the only build that seem even reliably viable is either a spam of electric nodes, spikes or a mix thereof. Cold inducing cells are kind if okay but its a gamble to take it since it require other rng dependent drops to be viable, and explosives are literally useless because you cant make a bomb worth shit that doesnt drain you so much biomass the enemy can regen before you can send another torpedo or whatnot. Every single build I try to make that isnt a razor edged sperm or an electrical pin cushion get inevitably screwed down the line.

This kind of shit is really rubbing me off the wrong way, why the fuck include rng based roguelike mechanics if they provide absolutely no enjoyment? Normally these would be to add variation, but right now half the options (aka 2 out of 4) are nearly useless past the initial fight and even then...

>>535313967
yeeeah, i really don't like his 3D model either and the new trailer also had me recoil the first time i saw it. but as far as i can tell he's the only one with a 3D model (he's always in your estate) and he's not as retardedly hyperanimated as in the trailer.
The dialogue is just portraits and not really a lot of voice acting. I think there's a couple random voiced lines and? idk, dialogues are always just mute. and the opening has voice acting.
don't know why they even bothered at all with VAs and giving your characters a voice that's just grunts and shit when getting hit.

>>535314348
To put it into perspective, Noita is kind of similar at a base level (replace organism customization with wand customization, basically you are the wand) but at least they add new unlocked or later biomes "spells/cells" to the base drop table so exploring and discovery feel like an actual upgrade. Primordialis in comparison just suck, like imagine if you had nothing but bouncing bubbles, the base spark, the shotgun spell everytime you started a noita run, and you coudlnt find anything better almost every single time. Also I hate how your attempt at making homing stuffs have some builtin timer while the enemy made ones can just stay forever, really limit the viability of a lot of potential builds.

>>535295619

>>535313967
It's "inspired" by persona and persona has absolutely terrible english voice acting. Of course since it's a game released in 2025, we can't have realistic character struggles, we need quirky one note characters that are boring as fuck and keep spewing memes at you because sincerity is dead.

Hi mister Amplify_FA (which is totally an offline name but I will call you that anyway)
I just want to let you know that your batteries can't support 3 personal roboports. Each of them take 2mj per second (aka 2 mw) while recharging bots and your battery capacity is only 126 mj. You will melt through your batteries in seconds. Removing 2 shields and a roboport to put more batteries and solar panels would help you a lot. I would advice you to add at least 4 solar panels to completely offset the legs drain.
By the way, I don't see any tank on your map. Since 2.0, they also have their own grid (just like K2) and are remotely driveable (they don't have innate radars unlike spidertrons though).
Best regards, DoctorFrancisEggman.

I can tell from the screenshot that no, it is not.

I would advice you to add at least 4 solar panels to completely offset the legs drain. I hadn't properly used them yet to see as I ran out of time last night, but it seemed fine for the moment. I can always add a bit more if I feel it's being a problem but for right now I've had enough of crafting equipment. The four shields were for dealing with a grouping of three nests, I can replace two of them with more batteries and panels if there's a problem.
>By the way, I don't see any tank on your map. Since 2.0, they also have their own grid (just like K2) and are remotely driveable (they don't have innate radars unlike spidertrons though).
I'm honestly not a fan of vehicles in Factorio, going forwards you're going to see a whole lot of me not building trains or really any other vehicles. I built one car just because my oil was a decent walk away and I wanted some radars further out to keep an eye on things, but honestly I've not used it enough to justify it and I don't think I'll be using it at all now I have these legs.
>Best regards, DoctorFrancisEggman.

>>535406996
It was fine back in the day to slap 20 secrets on the first level and expect most players to never find them. It was also fine to just not worry about weapons balancing and to allow the player to buy the second strongest weapons in the game right after finishing it as well.
Everything so well balanced, so tight and so sterile now. Every mechanic has a meaning and every gun has a niche. It's boring.

Won't be making that mistake again, Jesus Christ. Now it's clear what people mean about fans 'ruining' a game. And aside from the low quality of posts, how would you discuss anything of substance when the thread is going by so fast? (it appears the answer is they do not)
We complain about lack of activity but the calm is nice and leaves room to post about games.

>I don't know if there's a way to change it in the settings or not, but afaik it uses your Steam web address regardless of how you've named your account after that point.
The game uses your Factorio account name, you can go offline to use any name you want (Lan name in the options), you can hide it by opening the map (M) and clicking on the engineer icon. That hides player names entirely.
>I'm honestly not a fan of vehicles in Factorio, going forwards you're going to see a whole lot of me not building trains or really any other vehicles.

If you're playing space age (which I guess you are since you're using quality), you'll need to do a tiny bit of trains on some planets because the other options are simply not viable. Having a tank with a personal roboport on each planet is extremely useful as a back even if you don't plan to use it. Imagine that a biter suddenly attacks one of your big power pole on Nauvis while you're on Vulcanus, you'd need to put a ton of roboports to reach it or you can just request a big pole on your tank and drive using the minimap. They're also very useful for expansion now that artillery was nerfed and biter nest health scale. Of course if you absolutely don't want to do all of that, you're free to do as you want. It's your run and there are viable alternatives to mobiles bases like simply having a huge roboport coverage.
Another thing from 2.0, roboports now have an innate radar.

all this Factorio posting almost makes want to pick up the game again, but than I remember the nightmare were I stopped, making a scrap to legendary quality factory on Fulgora, dozens and dozens hours of work with no tangible rewards

>>535430193
>If you're playing space age (which I guess you are since you're using quality), you'll need to do a tiny bit of trains on some planets because the other options are simply not viable.
I might have *A* train on Fulgora or something, but otherwise it's the pipe and belt life for me.

What are some roguelikes that don't have a lot of thumb skill but aren't just deck builders? I love choosing between three things but I've been playing StS, Balatro, and LBoL for over 2k hours and I'd like to do more than just click cards.
For example I discovered Shogun Showdown recently and 100hrs FLEW by. I like the strategy and choosing between three things but you feel like you have more control than just "well i didn't draw the card i needed so i lose".

>>535436921
How complex are you willing to go? I'll always shill Cogmind, but it's fairly autistic.

>>535435636
how can someone dislike trains, this makes no sense

>>535440620
It's funny, because irl I'm quite fond of trains. Not to a super autistic level or anything, but I like them.
Factorio trains just don't do it for me at all. If you were to make the train system more like the one in Transport Tycoon Deluxe I'd be all over it, but here they just rub me the wrong way in ways I can't explain.

>>535441468
Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic has some pretty nice trains.
One day I will successfully build a train track in realism mode.

>>535350598
I'd forgotten that Nuclear takes a billion copper, upgraded my smelting setup a bit. I'd like a second iron and a dedicated steel too, once I have the room and stuff.

>>535436921
That because a lot of "roguelike" effectively just copied the rng mechanics for the purpose of replayability, without providing more than enough mean to think and act outside the box, which is what true roguelike excel at. Like take any sort of roguelike based on ASCII like stonesoup, rogue, qud, etc, the rng is there to add variability, which modern dev misinterpret as unfair rng kicking you in the balls because it decided to spawn an absolute unit that wreck you up, and thus misinterpreted it by codifting the unfairness into the game itself. So you basically end up with a shitty version of gambling where the house will cap your knees if you loose, and your prize is to keep playing.

To put it succintly, true roguelike are more akin to a bar fight where your own quick thinking is rewarded but you can still get fucked up by that glass mug thrown from across the bar, while many modern "roguelikes" feel more like dodging bullets coming from a firing squad, you can only hope even if the odds definitely arent in your favor.

>>535446595
(You) here, which post were you intending to reply to?

>>535442720
The crippling problem with WRSR's realistic mode is that once you've got your money making industry set up, the game basically becomes brief periods of city planning inter-spaced with hours of sitting around doing nothing while you wait for hundreds of bits of road/track/footpath to be built.

>>535449164
That's pretty realistic if you ask me
The only thing missing is paperwork, really. You can also simulate that if you really want to.

>>535449771
What's really missing from the true Soviet experience is false information. Imagine if you couldn't trust any of the data you have, because literally every government employee is deliberately lying to save face.

>>535433784
>quality factory
what a blunder

>>535461385
Yeah...

High-quality item are incredibly powerful, on paper.
HQ vehicle and armor have HUGE equipements grid.
HQ weapons, turret, and ammunition allow for extensive coverage due to increased range, and vastly higher damage/ammo. It's great for platform, in theory.
HQ science is up to 6x more powerful.
Building's crafting speed bonus from quality is MULTIPLICATIVE with the bonus from efficiency module.

The payout seems awesome.


But setting it all up is just... a chore. A fucking chore that can turn the whole game sour...
The fact that each tier of item is basically its own thing make the logistic puzzles needlessly convoluted at time. One oversight can easily clog an entire production line.

The worst thing might be researching the Epic tier for the first time ever.
Suddenly, you realize you now have to hastily redo all your quality-related production lines. Because there's now a 0.1% to produce an epic item at each step, which has probably nowhere to go.

No other research in the game can potentially cause multiple clogs across all planet. It's such an awful design.

>>535449164
>The crippling problem with WRSR's realistic mode is that
it wasn't designed for it

>>535464171
Quality as a whole was a retarded mechanic that should never have been added. Factorio is now dead to me.

I played Risk of Rain Returns (with items randomly drop artifact) with my 7 and 8 year old nephews three times now.
Here are my findings
>Pilot is the most popular. they both want to play him, but they have a self-made rule that only 1 person can play 1 character
>One of them can't stop playing loader
>Drones are OP and they don't care about items as long as they can get the most drones
>They are sad when we beat Acrid (red dog)
>Sniper and Engineer (with laser turret) are OP and they asked me to not play them again because it was unfair

>>535464337
It seems retarded because it's a solution to a problem that appeared and disappeared during the developpement process.
So as the end-users, we're presented with a consequence which seems to have no causation.
But from the dev's perspective, it probably made a lot more sense.

>>535464171>hastily redo all your quality-related production lines
What? People seriously do this?
I usually unlock quality, get enough t2 rare quality modules to fill an assembler, then use it to craft only the most important things that I need one or two of like power armor, tanks equipment grid items, or things that benefit from it immensely and are used in small numbers, like asteroid collectors

Factorio fuckers get out

>>535464762
Fair enough.

>>535446414
Finally got nuclear up and running well, power should be solved for a long time now. Also bolstered production a little but generally I'm still being a lazy cunt here.
I've not even set up any defensive perimeter still, been clearing out bases before the smog can reach them but that strategy obviously isn't going to work forever.

Help me remember the game, anons.

It's an automation-focused RTS with tower defense elements. Released roughly around 2023-2025.
You have a large platform that serves as a "base" you use to embark on different maps.
You make a planetfall and then expand beyond your platform to gather and utilize resources to make chains of production.
Once you fill enough quotas you can take off on a different map (kinda like Against the Storm).
You also play as a robot and can help defend your base against ..ugh I don't remember, bugs?
Also it's not The Riftbreaker, but it looks similar, but more cartoonish.

>>535471280
I'm gonna guess Mindustry

>>535472835
Unfortunately that's not it.
Visually it looks more like Dyson Sphere Program I guess.

Behold! The only ship that can be killed solely with an ion 1.
This bitch is not killing Prime. Hell, even Leah could tear this loser in half. 30 Eshield does not last as long as you'd think.

>>535467763
Last update before I log for the night I guess, where should I put my walls and flamethrower defence?
I want something easily defensible that I can ignore for the next 100+ hours once it's in place and will handle anything that might be thrown at i, while having a reasonable supply of resources inside the walls still. I don't need massive amounts of space, I'm never doing a massive megabase and if I even go for 100 science per minute I'd be shocked, but I would still like a bit of space to work with.
Opinions wanted.

>>535476943
Wait, is it that you only have 5 "hull" total, or is it that consider your hull "shielding" once the 5 hardlight layers are gone? Trying to figure out what exactly it does, and if there is even any advantage in the system. I hope it at least prevent subsystem damage. Because else it just a straight up detriment as it make your ship destroyable by weapons that otherwise wouldnt...

>>535488287
The hull is linked to the energy shield, so you have 30 points. Take 20 damage to the shield, take 20 hull damage. Jump to a new beacon, you're back at 30 shield/hull. You get 2 overconserver drones for mid-fight recharge. It also has a special emancipation grid that deals heavy damage to boarders and causes any that die to instantly repair the system they were in, but it's mostly moot since very few boarders have an Eshield bypass in the first place.
But yes, it's a fantastically shit ship, especially as the B-slot of an actually good ship that you need to beat Chaos mode to get. A- and C- are much better.

>>535481630
>where should I put my walls and flamethrower defence?
Everywhere. Your map is very open and you will get bugfucked eventually.
>ignore for 100+ hours
Unless you have artillery or a very thick flamer+laser you will have to babysit every now and again.

>>535490879
>Everywhere. Your map is very open and you will get bugfucked eventually.
Yeah, but where about do you think I should go for that's my best bet for defensible + decent resources on the inside? I've redrawn the lines for the walls in my head several times already.

my new beam ship motherfuckers

>>535501761
your beam is firing at like half the capacity compared to the possible output
you have to combine beams of equal strength to get the most focused ray

>>535463397
I think the issue is that in the vanilla, the whole gameplay loop is about unlocking entirely new toys and overcoming restraints. Car, trains, armor, new turrets, then once you have roboports you become god and map distance barely matters anymore.

Then the dlc throws the player in some shithole with new terrain obstacles, limited space, and most stuff is just vertical scaling. Like, foundries for example, adds liquid metals and all that, but at the end of the day, its just another way to make plates and the same vanilla metal products that you can already make, but with bigger numbers. Super science lab? Just lab but faster.

>>535502646
are you talking about this falloff?

shit, I didn't even knew this was a thing. back to the blueprint I guess.

>>535492140
I would do something like that. Stop science production and redirect all resources into making turrets, drones and walls and even mines if you feel fancy. Spent the next few hours clearing nests and building the defenses and its logistic lanes. Leaving space for future artillery turrets/trains.

Word Play. There's two decks, one on your screen and the other in your brain, winning big requires drawing from both. It's nice, each round is a new puzzle, not many games test lexical skills, and there is a fair amount of planning and strategizing too.

you can go clear out the nearest nests with nades in a car
faraway nests use arty trains and radar outposts

Wartales is kinda boring. It just makes me want to play Battle Brothers again.

I saw Warhammer 40000 mods for Arma 3, but it has no general I could find.
So, /indie/, how to get into Arma 3? It's got a fuckload of DLCs, and can I install mods and play solo or is it a multiplayer only game?

>>535551883
Oh shit did /tact/ die? Not into it myself but I'd also check /vm/ they might have moved to a slower board

So it seems. And being told to go to /vm/ already answers my second question, I fear...

>>535550794

>Tfw tried to make a new game yesterday and found 2 native copper vein, a big blue clay vein and a ruined town that provided basic cover, all within the same 1000 blocks or so

I am glad, I only recently started playing and im kind of struggling with the progressions. Like I understand how Im basically at the clay stage now but Im honestly wondering if I will even be able to get a bronze saw going before winter, as the more I wanted to make one the more I realize it will be ages before I get anything made out of metal as I effectively need a whole smithy before even being ablebto make planks

>>535567229
What's stopping you from using a copper saw? It's so plentiful that it's really not a struggle to get the 900u required for an anvil

>>535561787
>>535561998
Oh, that was from /vg/.

>>535506785
does Control count?

>>535567984
Low durability, that's why.

>>535568734
You can go caving or prospecting and find a single native copper patch deep down and be set forever. You also get 12 boards from one log and the bronze saw only has 60% more durability

>>535569104
But once he finds tin, the anvil is useless. Not like he can hang it over his door for pesky Jehovah's witnesses, can he?

>>535573713
You can just break it down into scrap and melt it to get back some of the copper.

>>535567984
More that I need an anvil and hammer, all the nuggets for it, the iron bars, all the crucibles, etc. So basically ill have to squat ruins for a long while before I can do anything worthwhile, also im wondering is there an alternative way to make flooring or roofing that doesnt require wood plank? Just might be nice to be able to store more stuff on a second floor that isnt made of dirt, I've seen you coudl collect tatch so I guess you can make roofs out of it?

For someone going in blind with no idea how much of anything I might need, it can be overwhelming, but I kinda like it. Just by curiosity tho, how many nuggets youd need to make all the tools needed? I have around 15 at the moment, which doesnt feel like enough.

>>535575123
Wait not iron bars, copper bar, had a freudian slip there.

>>535501761
>>535503432
No meme; game?

>>535575297
Cosmoteer, neat game imo, but I wish I had the patience to design something more visually pleasing than a brick with a lot of dakka.

>>535481630
Decided to hold off on building walls for now, I want the enemy to make a close expansion. I forgot that at some point I need to capture a nest and I'd like that to be closer by to my base and in my walls, could have had it on that little peninsula in the lower right but forgot and cleared out all the nests on it, sadly.
Have installed several mods, mostly for quality. I really want to dick about with it but I'm not waiting the entire game to do so. Maybe having access to early quality will be hilariously overpowered or perhaps it's going to be underwhelming, don't care either way I want it. One of my mods might have fucked with mining rates or something? Yesterday I had two miners run out of resources all day, but today I've had 20 run out in a couple of hours already. Perhaps I'm just paranoid.

>>535537641
/egg/ is full of weird people, I like it here better.

>>535575123
You can make cobble for walls/flooring with one clay and 8 stones. It seems expensive, but with all the mining you'll be doing it's pretty decent. Thatch or wood for roofs is going to be your best bet, the shingles are expensive as fuck in terms of time and effort.
You should just suck it up and start with copper, it makes everything easier. The saw is extremely useful for making bigger chests and barrels to get tanning/preserving started early. 900u for the anvil, 200u for pick + hammer, and 100u for a saw. It's really not that bad if you find even a single surface copper vein that is rich/bountiful. No idea what you are on about with the crucibles, you just need one for the entire game unless you want to melt multiple batches at once which only happens later on for mass casting copper/brass/etc

>>535573874

that triggers me too, but the prism is 2x2, is impossible to align perfectly with the center

>>535594182
You do know that you move the symmetry centerline to be either between blocks or in the middle of a block, right?

>>535594401
If I do that, then reactors are not going to align and I will end up without symmetry anyway. I could move the reactors to be side by side or something, but I really don't want to that. They are more spread out and near the consumers this way.

>>535594401
No!

In a virtual simulation. Hope this button doesn't do anything risky.

>>535608227
You won't be using 3x3 sized reactors anyways once you unlock 4x4.

Eight hours later, some biters moved into my peninsula. These faggots will some day be my captured biters for biter eggs.

>>535678240
It was apparently added in 1.16 in 2022. There's still an issue of putting blocks like oil lamps on top making them traversable again.

people who do this in this game are cheating themselves out of the content.

Anyone good at monster train 2? I'm getting bodied at covenant 5.
I just can't do damage enough damage to kill the regular ass mobs that have 400+ health
when an enemy line appears that's like
>400hp 400hp 120hp 8hp sweeper 8hp sweeper 8hp sweeper
I have no idea what to do. I can kill the sweepers but then nothing I have can deal with two 400hp fuckers.

>>535720340
What clans are you using? MT and MT2 differ from STS in that you pretty much need to break the game in some way. Enemies scale hard, you can't afford to play "fair".

>>535720897
I currently am trying to win with the devil clan of the first game, which just unlocked.
I tried the "gain armor on kill + rage on revenge" and the "get atk on slay" but both failed when enemies with 400hp appeared.

>>535717884
No but there have been a few cases where you can, in that one I just went "eh, it's probably like this" and was disappointed when it was right. Looks like that is quickly becoming a non-factor though, these last few have been tricky.
>>535718772
Exactly. Did the same thing with a few of the levels in Snakebird, moved on instinct and ended up making progress in the puzzle without fully understanding how. Seems to be more of a problem in "process" based puzzlers which require making moves in sequence. Recursed was really good in this regard, because if you don't act deliberately you end up trapped in a loop or softlocked.

>>535722246
Have more self control.

>>535718772
Autism and optimization tend to do that

>>535721358
The OG clans are a bit weaker imo, so that might be part of why you're struggling. They're a pretty straightforward clan though, you get simple access to durability through armor and scaling through rage. Usually you'll have units deal with high hp enemies, squishy backliners get dealt with through spells or your other clan. Something like a Vent with a damage upgrade would be able to clear all those sweepers in your example for 0 ember. The other route is building around imps, but that's more complicated and you're probably going to be relying on the imp queen and/or transcendimp so I wouldn't worry about it for now. If you're having trouble dealing with tanky dudes, try focusing more on damage scaling with rage and multistrike. The armor on kill champ upgrade line is more of a tank option, you can try the other lines for a more reliable heavy damage dealer.

>>535663125
yeah, i couldn't understand how to get to the solution for this one either without trial and error.
Don't know if i am missing some rule or that one is really just a shit puzzle.
having a good time so far though.

>>535723506
I had two multistriking demon fiend (the 3 capacity ones with 70 damage per hit) in the same line and they still couldn't deal with a single of the 400hp enemies. I guess I need to find some consistent way to buff damage ASAP or it's just no go.

>>535723820
thats a lot of red cats, anon.

>>535594182

Absolutely, it just means the spider part will be more effective for you

>>535723820
Hey anon, we are in the same place.
For that 55th puzzle you have to use the totals given. subtracting one from the other reveals how many walls are in the ??? rows at the top, and with that it's pretty obvious where they are. I'm expecting that will become a more common method in the upcoming puzzles.

This is the clusterfuck im on.

Either I'm reading this wrong, or the spawn mechanics overall are not immediately intuitive, or I'm just repeatedly hitting a bug, or the mod dev has completely lost the fucking plot. I'm exploring caves barely below the surface, but I keep getting gangraped by these fat rusty fucks. I don't even have armor yet.

>person who made this system either has a giant boner for NOT MAKING IT LIKE IN THE MINECRAFTS
Welcome to Vintage Story.

>>535790307
You can really fuck with the world settings and so the y levels have to scale with it or you'd get some fucked up shit happening

>>535791180
...why not just scale the absolute value

>>535791259
The dev is retarded, trying to understand would only leave you worse off

>>535791259
NTA
That would be literally the same thing as this, except less readable.

It's funny that you said the Y scaling was cryptic, despite immediately inferring how it works from a few sparse data points.
Had it been absolute Y values in a system of unknown scale, you wouldn't have intuited it so easily without more knowledge of the game.

>>535791595
this has zero practical application for actual gameplay. when you're ask for help in a cave and tell your friend how deep you are so he could prepare to descend in advance, you will use absolute metric because then he could just subtract his current height from your height. doing this with Y would force you to multiply it by the constant of how many blocks there are in a singular Y in your head.
i would understand it just as clearly if it would've been [0..50] blocks.
i just don't see the practical application

>>535792160
coords work like normal in practice. You're being really autistic about this while lacking information

>>535792160
1. It's not a gameplay feature.
2. VS block coordinates for depth don't range from 0 to 50, they range from 0 to 32768.
3. Don't pretend to be retarded now when you already benefited from the practical dev advantage of the simple floats. The logic and scale is easy to infer without reading any docs, config files are extremely fast to read with the first digit already conveing the critical information.

>>535792807
if they do, why would you ever use Y then...? the terrain generator works with discrete values, there's no need for such precision. it's so niche even the in-game metrics don't use it.
this kinda reminds me of the fuel consumption unit bonanza where you can cancel out units in MPG to get area. it technically makes sense, but why would you ever want to do that??

>>535793367
>You're being really autistic about this while lacking information

>>535793006
>VS block coordinates for depth don't range from 0 to 50
quick search reveals that default maximum height is 256. again, zero practicality. you will never be playing on a int16.maxvalue height world
>The logic and scale is easy to infer without reading any docs, config files are extremely fast to read with the first digit already conveing the critical information.
it's easy to infer but it's not specific. to really understand how big your Y is you need to have to either:
read docs/config to understand that
have in-game experience
1 is dimensionless, and if i were working with a system like this, i would very much prefer using absolute values because, if I know player speed - i can get the rough scale of things without having to do extra math

>>535793613
that's LITERALLY proving my point lmao
they have to use rough conversions to make the maximum height player-readable for default values. again, just take basic sea level absolute value and multiply it, not the other way around. that's just doing things ass backwards

tl;dr:
>You're being really autistic about this while lacking information

>>535793367
>there's no need for such precision
Floats are not more precise than ints. They are less precise.
Sure the devs could have used arbitrary integer scale as well, like say 0-200 instead of 0-2f.
But if you knew anything about programming (or common sense) you'd understand why float conveys the use case of the number better than int would.

>>535793881
Your quick search only confirms that your idea of arbitrary scale is retarded since your idea doesn't match the default nor the max. Conversions will have to be done regardless.
It is a good thing it is clearly dimensionless, you absolute mong. That way nobody can confuse it for an absolute block value.
And what the fuck does player speed have to do with spawning depth bounds lmao please find better straws to grasp.

>>535794025
Try to get it into your thick skull that the world height is configurable, conversions have to be done regardless. You're desperately coping that it is fixed height when it's not.

Anyways, I find it unbelievable that you're advocating for a stupid hack that only happens when system architecture is not well planned. In worse software you often see jank where coordinate systems get expanded but params using old absolute values stay in place for compat reasons, confusing everyone.

>Floats are not more precise than ints. They are less precise.
numerically. i am talking about absolute precision. there's very little value for having a float difference between two values than a single block. i.e. i.e. Y 1.01 and 1.02 represent a one block difference in the context of the current world, there's no reason to have 1.05. and if your world is ten bajilion blocks high and such small changes would matter, then the actual numerical floating point imprecision then would actually hurt you lol.
>But if you knew anything about programming (or common sense) you'd understand why float conveys the use case of the number better than int would.
they convey it in vacuum. things do not happen in vacuum. it's counterintuitive otherwise because you constantly have to cross-reference your docs every time your want to adjust your values for your current sea level config. instead of, you know, just looking at the number to know how high something spawns and what's the difference between values in ranges.

>Your quick search only confirms that your idea of arbitrary scale is retarded since your idea doesn't match the default nor the max. Conversions will have to be done regardless
conversions only need to be done when converting world to non-default size. it's doing the same thing, but not being fucking retarded about it. instead of having main Y value, you have default scale which you then multiply by your value. it's just counterintuitive and impractical, because when you look at HEIGHT you want to get the precise value. it's the same reason, for example, we don't use machs (which is actually dynamic compared to a constant sea level) outside of very specific cases (because transsonic - supersonic transitions are very important), and even when referring to supersonic travel speed we still default to the normal SI units because you can INTUITIVELY UNDERSTAND the time it would take to travel a specific distance at a specific speed, instead of multiplying it by some constant to get the same result.
>It is a good thing it is clearly dimensionless, you absolute mong.
why would you ever fucking want that practically. say, you're making a cave terrain generator, and you want it to only be of specific height/length so you could fine-tune it for player experience. there's no reason to ever refer to the height of the cave in Y units instead of absolute values. same goes for spawn ranges. if they want to modify it either way - you setup the default, easily tweakable value first, and only THEN add the multiplier, not backwards.
>And what the fuck does player speed have to do with spawning depth bounds lmao please find better straws to grasp.
depth is distance. if you know player speed, and their rate of traversal, you can make rough estimates of how quickly the player would traverse caves of different heights. and time spent doing tasks is one of the most important design metrics you should care about when designing a game.

>>535795452
oh yeah, an on practicality:
if the spawn range values in the anon's mod were simply set as a block range, this kind of situation would NEVER arise in the first place. this is the most practical, down to earth proof of this whole system is impractical and counterintuitive.

I'd just like to point out that Y level in VS isn't based on the sea level, but the surface level.
So on a 200 block high mountain Y 0.9 is 180 blocks. In the 100 high valley next to it, Y 0.9 is 90.

>ransom variation that does extra math for spawngroups for no reason whatsoever when the exact same result could be achieved with simple integer ranges
Yeah seeing the "1.5±0.5" for something that's presumably either 1 or 2 bugs me a lot more than it should.

the idea here is that jester gives combo, HWM stuns with pistol shot, MaA protects jester. alternatively it's a lot of hate on ranks 3 and 4 with grapeshot blast, plague grenade and magnesium rain, maybe a little slice off too

thoughts?

>>535817617
never mind, sharpshot's pistol shot doesn't stun. replace jester with duelist maybe? or fuck it, something else entirely. is there a riposte meme team?

Feel like some modder first attempt at making a difficulty mod but without any balancing done, because from what you said it would mean tier 1 to 3 can only spawn above sea level (all 3d games work on a xyz 3 axis modelling, traditionally X is horizontal, y is vertical and z is depth), which doesnt even make sense in game as the drifters are told to stay underground during the day. So basically the only way they could spawn is from temporal storms and portals, so the early tier enemies normally found at game start could only spawn in overhwelming numbers. Feel more like an oversight than genuine tryhard attitude from the mod dev.

Try and check what you can make with every new material you get so you can avoid missing out on some qol

>>535853952
Making hunter's backpack is easy. I usually skip linen bags and use the linen for windmills instead. Finding borax or lime can be a bitch, but I can usually can get enough from traders or random sea shells for leather backpacks.

>>535851330
Absolutely, assuming you don't hate the genre or anything. Every six to eight months or so I play it for another 50 to 60 hours and have a great time, had my money's worth ages ago. I'm trying to hold off for the big promised rebalancing patch that's slated for this year before I come back again, I like the sound of the proposed changes.

>>535827609
Tempted to try this for the art alone, despite not having the patience for rpgs, and getting alarm bells from the steam page + reviews. Is the game finished or is development ongoing?

Fuck. part about Balatro meant for >>535867268

>>535870909
It's ongoing, but he says that the game is finished, and he's just adding more to it instead of making a sequel. There is a final boss and all that. he's just adding side areas and slowly adding story stuff after the final boss.
>steam page
ya, he's kind of a schizo Florida-man veteran with a lot of opinions lol
I can hook you up if you dont want to pay. someone keeps the latest version on GD.

What did they do to my boy. Why are they keeping this god forsaken carcass on life support. They should've just let it die with dignity. It doesn't deserve this.
At least Storm the House 3 and Decision are still at the top of the shooters.

What do you think of Katana Zero?

>>535870909
>That can't be right, Balatro only came out a few months ago...
It came out early 2024 and had a good demo available for some time before that.

Factorio blogger here: spent all day just doing fairly uninteresting (to blog about, I enjoyed it) upgrades to my base with modules and stuff. Finally ready to launch into space now though.
What do I call my science platform and first spaceship? I'm terrible with names.

>>535888194

>>535857083
Guess I got lucky as there is plenty of borax near my base, but I need bronze to get it so I need tin. I wanted to explore a nearby cave as I guess the layer of stone that can host cassierite (?) is deeper around here, but for that I need armor so im making copper lamellar, it gonna be better than nothing.

>>535890379
copper armor is a mistake because of how fast it'll degrade

I personally liked it, liked the vibes and general gameplay, very nice visually from start to end.

I've never fought this boss in my life. Usually it just shows up on my screen and dies instantly, before I have to walk back into the beginning room to fight the real boss.

I guess this is better than it not working at all. Feels good to be able to fight without getting instantly mulched though, took down 3 drifters with my bow.

>>535905359
Did you try the one about breeding bigger crops?

>>535891874
So what would you recommend I do then? Im hesitating between just trying to find a surface tin deposit or explore the cavern I mentioned earlier. without leather its gonna be a pain, could always comb the seasides for shells but its going to take ages to get enough for even a single barrel.

>>535907394
Ignore him. Copper is plenitful enough to spam copper armor. Although it doesn't really give that much defense.

Literally ran into a ruined windmill on the way back home after failing to find more flax. Sure won't say no to a free quern and money though.

I just shut my self in a 1x2 cell until the storm is over.
Or even better, disable them, they are just time wasters as mobs don't really drop anything important.

VS is better if you want a more casual/simple survival game with less focus on the survival tech progression and more on adventure/lore stuff.

And of course VS engine is a huge advantage over an ancient version of MC
