Mystic Stylez posted:How difficult it is to get into Rimworld anyway? The game seems awesome, but it looks like you have to play 100h just to start to understand it. It's not hard at all, especially ever since the dev added a context-sensitive tip system that tells you more about what's happening or what you need as you go. You'll still probably meet an untimely end the first time around but a couple games should be everything you need to figure out stuff. That being said you'll probably still need to ask/look around for a good mod list. The base game is fun but just a tiny slice of what the game could truly offer if the dev didn't work embarrassingly slow.

It's actually pretty easy since you start with 3 colonists and they really trickle in afterwards, with the option to turn them away if you still feel overwhelmed.

I suppose I should've elaborated a bit, because most of the suggestions you guys have presented are ones I've played the poo poo out of, or have previously experienced and didn't like. Played the poo poo out of Stardew Valley, Rimworld, War For The Overworld, Skylines, never gonna touch DF (too complicated and too ASCII) or Factorio (too ugly). Maybe I'll play WFTO again.

Kingdoms and Castles sounds a little bit like it's in your wheelhouse. e: so does Distant Worlds Universe.

Rain World does regularly have a thing pop up to point you in a direction to go. Course you can ignore it if you like, but its advice isn't bad. I guess it's not immediately clear but it's got the world of a metroidvania, made up of discrete zones that connect together, with places worth going to and things to do at those places. And it really goes places. It's an amazing game.

Did notice that it leads you to food and that hibernating advances some sort of track but at times it felt like I couldn't reach certain places it told me to reach. It was then perfectly happy with me doing something else though so that's where it feels a bit loose to me. It's just more open ended than similar stuff.

You can get tilesets for Dwarf Fortress, and so long as you don't mess with the military or underground farming it's ridiculously simple. Also not playing Factorio because it's ugly? Give the demo a bash. You'll come around.

Never thought I'd see a game with an 86 video youtube tutorial called ridiculously simple. Well, ok, 84 videos if you remove the military and underground farming.

Calling Dwarf Fortress 'ridiculously simple' in any capacity should be some kind of malpractice.

It's a complex game with a lot of things to do but it's really not more complicated than it needs to be (barring military), maybe what he was getting at.

Once you get the hang of DF much of it falls into place but it's still an unbelievably complex arrangement of systems and moving parts, and the fact some of us have played enough of it that we can take a months-long break and return without losing any muscle memory or knowledge of what's what doesn't really change that.

Sininu posted:You play Rimworld, but not Factorio because it's too ugly? Huhh? I'm not him, but I like Rimworld's cartoony, simplistic graphics, makes it very easy to tell what everything is at a glance. Meanwhile, Factorio's aesthetic isn't to my taste, and it completely turns me off it, but I know I'm in the minority there. I think Factorio's stuff is drab, dull, and overdetailed, it reminds me too much of late 90s RTS. Factorio's graphics aren't "Bad" however, I just don't like the aesthetic.

Distant Worlds: apparently something about scrapping the space port at your homeworld and building a new one completely breaks ship refueling for whatever the hell inane reason? I got into this weird situation where I built a "small" port at my homeworld colony and later decided that I wanted a lighter space port than that for a miscellany of other purposes. So I ended up copying my space port design onto a new medium design, then scrapping the old space port since the game won't let you retrofit space ports into different "size" categories even though as far as the game is concerned they're functionally identical in every way. Ever since, new ships of ANY design I build at that space port come into existence with no fuel at all, and the refuel/repair button in the unit card in the lower left corner of the screen can't be clicked. Right click menus do allow refueling at other normal destinations like gas mining stations and other colonies, but not the homeworld even though the space port there is fully functional in every other way and the cargo tab says both fuel types are stocked there in copious quantities. I can't figure out how to fix this bug, and it's about to make me give up on this save.

What are some of the mods that make life easier? edit: Has anyone tried Stationeers yet? It looks fun in a complex space ship survival. I've heard it compared to SS13 but I've never played it.

Finished Prey last night. Game had a strong start and a strong finish, and a pretty solid environment to explore in between, but man does it drag in the second half (hitting rock bottom, for me, with the coral node mission). Still a pretty good game overall though. I'd say more but it's kind of a hard game to talk about without delving elbow-deep into spoilers. HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:It's alright, but it feels rather directionless and the pressures of survival in the game are kinda high concept insidious killers in the form of poor gas control rather than the typical aliens or raiders that base building games tend to focus on. Internet Explorer posted:It's a lot of fun if you like base-building type games and they are adding content at a pretty quick pace. I'll buy anything Klei makes, so it was an instant-purchase even if I don't currently play it regularly. I got burned by Don't Starve, but more because I'm not a fan of survival-crafting games...which before anyone says, "Then why did you buy it," Don't Starve was the game that made me realize I didn't like them. I'm still fond of base-building though, so I'll keep Oxygen on my radar.

This is entirely what I meant, said better than I ever could, thanks. (for some resolution, I'm playing the DLC of Dungeons 2 I've had for ages and never bothered finishing. A bit more combaty than I want, but whatever, it seems like I've played to death the Heavy Hitters in terms of what I'm interested in right now.)

I finally finished A Hat in Time just now. Definitely is the game Yooka-Laylee wishes it was, and just so much better. Camera is actually not-annoying, some of the levels are good, art is cool music is also right for the setting (theres even a windmill level with music that apes Song of Storms from Z64). One of the good and bad things is it's not really a collect-a-thon, the only item you can really tell if you collect at Time Pieces which are pretty straightforward and well marked. So progress is pretty much zero-gating and you don't feel like you need to explore everything, but at the same time, lacking OCD-esque collectathon elements kinda made it feel like it lacked just a little bit. Other complaint is the first two worlds is def the most front-loaded and fleshed out story/lively wise, then the fourth feels like they ran out of time (despite being in development for like 4 years) and just threw in Free Roam and called it that. The mustache-girl is also only mentioned in the first-world and felt like she could have been more reoccurring. Anyways fun game to get stoned as hell and play. Would recommend for anyone looking for that N64 3D action-platformer throwback with all the working amenities of a modern game that you'd want to have; and/or just looking for a whimsical relaxing game to get baked and play.

You do not know true videogame suffering until you've reached the orange. That being said, Getting Over It is fair, albeit brutal. A lot of the game progression lies in understanding the mechanics and their execution, not just in being incredibly dexterous. Blattdorf fucked around with this message at 13:39 on Dec 29, 2017 |

Kingdoms and Castles will probably fit your needs. It's a super chill version of Banished
