Sounds like a way more complicated version of the happy supply-demand puzzle of Slipways. I don't mean complicated like bad.

CK07 posted:I cannot believe how much time this jank-rear end game has already taken up. I have no problem playing old ugly games or dwarf fortress with no graphics packs, but this thing just looks awful, and the user interface may be a violation of the Geneva Conventions. I can't stop playing it. Does anyone know if the later versions are less visually difficult? The Steam pics are too small to be meaningful on my phone. I haven't played them but I look at them constantly and they all look the same as far as I can tell. I'm waiting to have the spare cash to just drop on loads of it and play nothing else for months and months.

LeFishy posted:So I've started playing Motortown https://store.steampowered.com/app/1369670/Motor_Town_Behind_The_Wheel/ which probably fits in this thread. It's just a game where you drive around doing driving jobs? I've been playing it for an hour and so far I've driven hitchikers, done some deliveries in a pickup, driven a taxi around and driven a bus. I then abandoned the bus full of passengers in a car park which felt good. This looks extremely cute, I think I'll download the demo.

Mokotow posted:Air frequencies are not encrypted, because they need to be freely available to every air ship. You need a scanner that operates within the frequency bands used by ATC, and you can get those easily. It’s illegal to listen in in the UK, but the likelihood of getting caught is zero, unless you’re hanging out outside Heathrow with the receiver out and about. Ah, I got bad information then. I just knew it was naughty to listen and it's hard to find online, but I haven't looked *very* hard cause you can just stick JFK tower on instead.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:I think it’s illegal to rebroadcast the feed, which would explain why it’s not on, say, liveatc. I did some reading and no, it is legit illegal to listen. It's just that they can't catch you doing it. The way UK law seems to work around radio broadcasts is that it has a whitelist, rather than a blacklist. Like, it lists all the things you *are* allowed to listen to.

There used to be a very funny controller at JFK Ground called 'Kennedy Steve' and you can find compilations of him being amusing on youtube. He knows exactly when and how much to joke, and who with. e: he has a long-running and fierce feud with the Delta Tugs.

I have had a few satisfying hours with Train Station Renovation. It's House Flipper, but for just train stations, so the lack of assets doesn't feel quite as annoying, and it has more of a feel of fixing things up - you don't have to spend time painting walls and such, for example. And the lighting engine is not quite as janky. Worth a few bucks on sale for sure if this kind of gameplay is your thing.

Galick posted:Okay so, are there any simulator games where you basically run a shop/store/workshop/whatever and make things for customers? The idea that came to mind was a gunsmith who did custom work for people and there's gunsmith simulator coming out *eventually* but that didn't quite hit the mark since that was restoring. I'm looking for a game where you make custom things for your customers, have to fit the criteria, etc. Closest thing was the PC builds you did for customers in PC Building Sim? Cooking Simulator has this.

I like 'Motor Town: Behind the Wheel' but it's not detailed exactly. The style is very cartoony. But it has a good few vehicles, and you can do bus routes or tow truck stuff or taxi service or whatever. And when I was playing over Christmas I saw Krampus in the road, and another car ran it over and then flipped upside down. That might be seasonal only though.

LeFishy posted:Update: Went to play Motortown. Got it running at mostly 30fps on medium settings on the deck though the towns chug a little. Yaaay! Yeah I dunno it runs okay on my PC but not perfect. But it's a fun game. Haven't tried it on the Deck. I do like driving the bus.

I enjoyed Infra. If only for the feeling of looking at a dilapidated bridge and thinking 'tch, someone should do something about that' and hey, it's you! You can do something about it. Take a picture and send it to your boss and fantasize about having a competent governmental system.

Train Station Renovation is good for 'click thing, make clean'. Not as viscerally satisfying as Powerwash but fun anyway.

Mokotow posted:Has SnowRunner Expeditions been mentioned? Coming next year, it's very much what the title says - based on the SnowRunner engine, you lead expeditions in various inhospitable terrains, using a variety of off-road vehicles equipped with equipment for surveying and other scientific operations. There's also some base operations sprinkled in, and the actual exploration gameplay is expanded, so no more just driving to a lookout tower, now you need to use binoculars and survey equipment. Looks interesting and I like that they're trying new things while sticking to a strong base they've built up over the last few years. I vaguely recall being all pissed off with the devs of this series but for the life of me I don't remember why.

Mokotow posted:Maybe something about having a million dlcs and seasons of content you need to buy in small packages, paradox style? I'd love to think so but I'm a total sucker for that kind of DLC schedule so probably the spintires thing, but eh, it can't be that big of a deal if I don't even recall what it was. Anyone play Rail Route? I know it's more puzzle than sim but I keep thinking of getting it.

Genuinely don't know about wheels and the PS4, sorry. I haven't owned a playstation since the original. Yeah any of the map mods will need all the DLC because of how they build them, in my experience. Don't worry though - each state is plenty big, you only need to buy the bits you're interested in. I'm in the middle of heading back west, I'm bored with Texas now, wanna drive up and down the West Coast some.

Anime Store Adventure posted:I think I've posted about this game before, but everyone should take a new look: I bought this on your writeup and it's very interesting, but I've had to shelve it until they fix the graphical issue that fills the map with fog all the time and makes it impossible for me to see anything. The devs told me on the steam forum they're fixing it in the next update.

Anime Store Adventure posted:Was thinking more and wanted to add that honestly, while I still encourage people to buy it and think its super unique and cool and all that, saves have been breaking pretty frequently in the closed test so even things like the fog aside if you're having those problems, if you aren't into being an actual beta tester, it is worth waiting until they 'officially' drop the remake. I am not a bit sorry for what it's worth, it's a fascinating game and I'm pleased to be in on it at this early stage.
