As a geologist I read a lot of stuff about rocks, its just so happens that today it was about a videogame!

Its something I notice occasionally in games, not really a big deal for ~*~ My Immersion ~*~ but I see a lot of stuff that is supposed to look like rocks, but weren't actually modelled off of them.

A bit sad to hear about abandoning the HD4000, I was hoping to be able to play on my girlfriend's laptop while on the ferry and such. Oh well, I guess I'll have to make due with playing at my desk.

Might as well give it a shot if you are buying it anyway. It seems to work on my HD4000 laptop.

I'm now envisioning being able to make a steam power-cranked Gatling gun where you can construct steam pipes to your defensive positions to take the place of the schlubs cranking the gun and increase its rate of fire. Also until it catches fire it will shoot faster. For the colonial military on the go it can also be powered by the ever portable steam ball. Those dastardly fishmen will finally learn that land is for Her Majesty and her loyal subjects!

Generally I'm not overly concerned about overly historically accurate period weapons in my steampunk cosmic horror game. I'm confidant gaslamp will keep things thematic enough. I've also peered behind the curtain and seen hints as to decidedly not historically accurate technology that is still quite thematic and will give those flippers a drubbing!

I was hoping for an auroch powered hamster wheel gun. Maybe it fires accidentally when the animal gets spooked or bored.

Does the food system even make sense? You have a communal colony in many ways (barracks filled with cots and aurochs) but you have a individualized kitchen system. You make a cabbage stew at one instance, and when your colonist gets hungry he pulls it out of a stockpile and eats it.

For a small community setup in this manner a mess hall setup is probably more realistic, whether it makes sense to implement it in a game is another question entirely.

The idea being that your community operates around meal times, breakfast, lunch and dinner. A mess hall prepares and serves meals. You could potentially do away with prepared meal storage. Your colony needs X amount of food per meal time. At a meal time that amount is pulled from food storage and used. Excess is discarded. Having enough food confers positive thoughts, not enough the opposite. More food options could do the same, ect.

Or it could be a useless complication. Just a fun thought. Also Fishmen attacks during a mealtime.

Do you also happen to have an integrated card, like intel HD? If so, you might have to force the game to use your GT760 from the nvidia control panel.

I can't access my nvidia control panel! It appears my computer is using its onboard video though. That explains a few things. The question remains, is it a bios setting or did I get a DOA GPU.

The same thing happened to me when I installed my 760. Turn off your onboard GPU in the BIOS and restart; it should clear things up.

Yeah I had to do a few things. Most notably plug in the monitor to the new card! Lol! No idea how I missed that

Hunting for work parties is turned off by default. Make sure you turn it on if you want hunting to be a thing that happens (we turned it off by default because otherwise random citizens would immediately start the game by grabbing guns and shooting the crap out of everything that moves.)

As opposed to just plopping down buildings where you are placed or else starving to death if you take the time to explore with your redcoats to find a possible better location? I mean, presumably ore nodes and the like are the kind of thing you would need to see to know they are there, but I think it's completely reasonable to be able to see if there's a hill, or an open field, or where the coastline is from more than 20 feet away. Chalk it up to surveys from zeppelins if you have to, I just think having to manually explore to see the lay of the land takes away from what could be. Even if we could see the entire map with all the features, it won't do us that good until we have zepplin docks or a way to change supply/colonist drop locations or whatever.

Have the greater terrain ( cliffs, hills, ect) always visible then have a randomized over print of nodes and trees near where stuff does exist but when you explore it the fog clears showing actual locations of stuff? To simulate the " I saw some rock outcrop over yonder " feeling. Or that's over thought. Whatevs

One thing that I miss from this simulator is the ability to build ridiculous structures in a short of dwarf fortress/mine craft fashion. To have my small colony build a ridiculous castle so to speak.


No matter, it is it's own thing and fun regardless
