What does /vst/ think of Aurora 4x? Out of all the "autistic" strategy games it is hardly ever mentioned here. From what I have played it seems to relay HEAVILY on roleplaying

I always get filtered when you have to actually start building ships/fleets and dealing with that bullshit

and finding a planet worth mining is total RNG

the point of no return is designing anti anti missile missile missiles.

>>2092974 (OP)
Spreadsheet simulator, fps death if you let things get too big. Can't get into it because of this.

>>2093072
Why would you intercept anti missile missiles when you could use that missile size on decoys?
>>2092991
I'm of two minds, on the one hand having high accessibility corrundium on Venus makes scaling a breeze, on the other having a jugular that is shipping neutronium and corrundium to sol from three systems away leads to interesting challenges.
What isn't fun is searching 20 systems and not finding anything with a significant amount of vital minerals.
>>2093316
>FPS death
After C#? I've never experienced that but I tend to restart a lot to be fair.

I'm currently undergoing bit of a resource crunch as I scale up extrasolar mining. Mercassium/Neutronium/Corrundium keep switching between being the limiting factor. I've had to pause my terraforming station buildup for a while because of this. I'm terraforming venus and I have two venusian planets I want to do after that.

Let your civilian sector go fucking wild with ship building, you'll still see it.

>>2093342
Currently have 92 civilian ships

If the head retard in charge could swallow his 'look how esoteric it is because of the UI!' pride and work on making it even remotely more approachable or even just letting someone else do it for him and charging like 5 bucks for it on steam, he could make a bit of decent cash and keep working on his autism project at the same time.

>>2093351
I would pay $10 if I could see the entirety of the events and economics tabs at the same time on a 1920x1080 monitor
What the fuck did he design it around, doing a 30 day turn and then thoughtfully reviewing every single window? 4k monitors?

C# fps "death" is literally vb6 natural optimal start.
If you handled vb6 at its worst you will never be bothered by c# performance

>>2092974 (OP)
It's no Apollo4X

>shitty mobile tier UI

bruh

>>2093593
that was incredibly obvious bait anon

>>2093356

Yes. He's an autistic boomer who originally made this to help him with his tabletop shit. These people don't think like us at all.

Wonder if anyone has played on a 9800x3d or some other x3d cpu? I bet the extra cache helps a bunch.

Getting the next engine tech is the best feeling in the world

>>2093611
it's always funny when you post bait so obvious that you get mad when someone falls for it

>>2093356
Even if he wanted to do that he already admitted that he completely forgot a lot of things the game has as mechanics or features.

How's the FOSS fork of aurora doing? Is it better or worse than a4x?

>>2095097
>forgetting mechanics and feature in a game that you yourself made
big if true

Thank Steve for autoroute by system. Moving the fleet around might have become somewhat tedious without it.

>>2095539
how in the hell do you keep track of jump distances

>no game exactly half as autistic as aurora

>>2095593
Command modern operations can come close if your autism is more military operations centric instead of empire building and economy

>>2093348
Have you stabilized jump points? Civilian ships don't use Jump Drives, so if you can keep them all imprisoned in Sol their pathfinding won't be as demanding

>>2093328
>I'm terraforming venus
RP reasons? it's such a huge resource sink for little gain

>>2096258
The terraforming stations can be re-used and venusian type planets generally have the most resources

>>2093351
Because that worked out great for dwarf fortress

>>2096268
>big sales
>game is easier to play in general
>only problem is dealing with the troons who try to flock to it as 'their' game
DF's problem is toady already was slogging it through the updates, even before they did the steam release. I would bet 100 bucks easily that he still wouldn't be close to releasing the magic update even if he didn't do the steam release at all.

>>2093072
at that point you'd think a meta solution would be developed ingame and to avoid that external computational "heat death"; a late tech that makes missiles obsolete right before the memory fills up with missile addresses.

>>2096341
>he still wouldn't be close to releasing the magic update
just looked up DF yesterday to check up on the magic update.
was thinking how much I'd enjoy using DFhack to mess around and give my dwarves all sorts of magical effects/abilities.
I like using Fastdwarves to have them teleport around.

>>2096341
Magic update literally never

>>2095539
sort ur fucking galactic map then

>>2096268
DF was fucked wayyy before the Steam version. It's been almost 15 years sinxe its last real update.

>>2095463
It hasn't been updated in like 3 years, so dead

>>2096341
He doesnt care about sales and "easier to play" shit.
DF literally died to the point of being relegated to /vst/ with its general.

>conventional start
>add 3 TN NPRs
>still no colonies
>sensor contacts 5x faster than my ships already doing fly-bys in my home system
did I mess up...
