I'M GONNA PUT A JIHAD ON YOU FILTHY TLElLAXU

finally this general is dead
no more 4channers fucking up the vibe of this game
no I will not bump the thread
eat shit, fuck this game, fuck you joel, fuck you funcom, etc

>>536408276
Why do you even care? Just close the tab and go do something else.

>now have both a large ore and large spice refinery
>need 10 directional wind turbines to power the base now
why do spice refineries cost 500 plast and 300 melange holy FUCK

>>536411019
generators, not refineries. i'm illiterate

>>536411019
>>536411276
The idea was likely to have a big material grind for the T6 buildings so that you have something to achieve while they try and unfuck their endgame. Unsurprisingly, since it's Funcom, they failed to address anything in time. It's now just a meaningless grind and you stop playing shortly after.

I log into the game once or twice a week to check landsraad stuff and put things on the auction house, pay taxes and refuel the generators but that's it. There's nothing to do until they get their shit together.

>>536411019
>>536411276
Spice powered generators aren't worth it, cost to make the fuel is way too much

>>536417506
There is only one reason to run a spice powered generator and that's leaving the game for a while. You can load it up with 31 days worth of fuel and completely enclose it with walls so it's perfectly safe from exploits unlike the directional turbines which can be shut off by building close or over them or some dumb shit like that.

Is spicy fuel the only use of spice residue? I have tons and tons and I don't know what to do with this shit.

>>536420386
Filters for the big windtraps as well.

Until they severely limit the amount of power buildings you can place, basic generators will always be the easiest and cheapest option. Even endgame solo bases can be done with basic gens easily. It's fucking stupid.

>>536420887
Its always going to be true because they made it so basic fuel doesn't require processing. It literally grows organically out of the ground, like fuel cubes are plants.

Because of that its always better to use the basic gens since in an emergency you can just hop out in a groundcar and zap a cube to get instant power.

>>536418079
>You have to buy out the real estate and air space around your base to prevent someone from powering it down prematurely blocking the wind turbines
I think I seen that happen a few weeks ago and didn't even realize it, I thought it was two friends just building next to eachother until the open top garage barriers were down and 5 ornithopters were wrecked.

>new vehicle is just a more maneuverable bike
Unsurprising

https://youtu.be/k3Rm19O3Zkk?si=Y2Se1d4NyqhYhWY2

>>536431573
I thought it was a literal bike skin?

>>536432403
No, brand new separate vehicle construction with its own tiers.

>>536433576
So we're supposed to race out into worm sand on this new bike in the DD or something? Does it drive over quicksand?

Why do these giant water tanks measure contents in ml? Shouldn't it be gallons?

>>536452179
No, it should be litres

Can you move a character from one server to another? Not the fief, the big thing. The one I'm on is a fucking ghost town. No matter where I go, I only see dying abandoned bases.

>>536455902
Used to be you could do something about those abandoned bases.

>>536434196
No, it only drives backward a bit faster than other vehicles. I am not kidding.

Fuck this game

>>536458264
Going backwards is what this game is doing so its fitting

the most frustrating part of this game is that every dumb tertiary on the planet now thinks that spice is canonically purple when it's just gamerpaint exclusive to this setting

>>536469343
I am a little tired of everything being purple in games these days. It makes it feel unimmersive and out of place or at worst, like it comes from Twitch.

>>536469538
spice has never been purple, it's blue at best when it's still in the unoxidized wormshit form bubbling beneath the sand - at which point it should be its typical reddish-brown during and after the 'boom'
this joel cuck can't even keep his narrative straight in being "as true to the books as possible" down to the substance that the entire franchise revolves around

now his fat fuck legacy is forever tainting the lore he claims to nurture with the wrong fucking color in the public consciousness forevermore

>>536469795
It's purple so you can see it on sand bro

>yellow paint being overused in boomer video games
>twitch purple being overused in zoomer video games

>>536469343
>>536469538
>>536469795
I'll bite. What color should the spice be?

>>536481990
red

dead game dead thread

>>536481990
i thought it was supposed to be like rust or cinnamon coloured?

>>536481990
>>536502023
Akshually its not that clear in the books you got the description of the spice gas in navigator tanks being orange but at the same time but the melange as blue
And this is before Anderson and Herbert Jr started fucking around with the lore

>>536481990
>>536502023
Spice gas in navigator tanks is described as orange, melange as reddish brown but also as radiant blue under artificial lighting

>>536475637
>It's purple so you can see it on sand bro
dune shouldn't be convenient.
make me use my scanners, force Scout Thopters to actually Scout Things (remove their fucking rockets u fat fuck joel bitch)

the spice is convenient, the worms are convenient, the storms are convenient, the fucking WATER is convenient - they've managed to turn Dune into a completely safe playspace entirely ignorant of the contents that make such a concept absurd to begin with, rife with purple-coded playground sand

the dune lives on

>>536533065
good god /vg/ is moving way too fast since gamescom

When are they adding more qol to the DD process?

>>536544938
blame the gacha filth polluting this cursed board.

>>536545049
I'm sure QoL stuff will come as the patches roll out but hey said big endgame updates coming in January in this interview: >>536431573

>>536545118
I wish western devs would sell their games with more tits and ass like eastern gacha devs do with their generic slop

>>536520839
the fremen were super soldiers b/c they had to be to live, its b/c all the planets generous convenient amenities, sandstorm skin exfoliation, surprise worm rodeos for cardio.

>>536549028
mo tits & ass!

Let.them cook

>>536569753
>let them cook
Where does this phrase even come from? Its so dumb sounding.

>>536570107
It comes from the movie "waiting. . ." with Ryan Reynolds

>>536569753
ABSOLUTE CINEMA

why do some games with 10k players get a general but some don't
for example once human had a steady 40k forever, no general.
this can aggressively shit and vomit standing over the consumer's mouth at the same time, gets a general. why? i start to think its paid advertising sometimes because it doesn't make sense.

>>536593175
There was a suggestion to turn it into a sandbox games general that was well received.

To your point about playercounts though, co-op games general, while being about all co-op games, is generally only about Vermintide and Darktide, with what I imagine is an overlapping playerbase of roughly 4k players.

A general is just maintained by those that like it. I suppose we should go and make room for more gachaslop? Perhaps a fourth WoW general is in order instead?

Dune as a franchise attracts a specific and devoted type of autism, if you have not read the books you should, it's quite the bug to catch. The books leave you wanting more when there will never be exactly more from Frank Herbert himself, eventually you become very desperate for just the scent of fart like my Dune.

Did they fix the awful draw distance yet?

>>536600050
if anything, reading the books should make you utterly scornful to funcom's sterilized lobotomy of the IP wearing the skin of an old friend

>>536593175
Haven't played OH past its first week, it just didn't give off any soul with nothing to discuss really and limited servers were trash.
Even though this is almost as much as a asset dump as Once Human at least there's some tie ins with the brand and a central lore but nothing to do.
Just waiting for more content and a reason to RP as a Dune character instead of a plastic k-pop doll.

What walls are these? Harko?

>>536592009
Sounds like some decent adjustments coming. Shame it'll take until fucking q1 2026 to be implemented.

>>536606972
I read the first book. I started the second and it just made me sleepy.
Still like the game.

>>536606972
I felt this way about the new movies, but they are better than the old movies at least. maybe in 30 years the the new incarnation of dune will be better

>>536608313
Harko round walls with the special tall triangles facing inwards

>>536592009

Is there a version of this in english?
