I should give Kenshi another go. My 2-3 playthroughs all got to the point where I had a pack of 6-10 decently combat trained ronin and I started scouting for a place to build a homestead before I inevitably get distracted by some other game.

Do planets in DSP have limited amount of resources? I've seen a few screenshots where there seem to be resource quantities listed. Or is that what you currently have in reserve? I'm talking about stuff like:

Dr. Stab posted:Yeah. Each node has a fixed amount of resources on it. Once you mine out all the nodes, no more resources on the planet. Thats a bit of a turnoff at first glance. I realize there are a lot of planets you can set up on and probably more resources than you'll ever need, but the idea is still slightly off-putting.

Ok, I guess I'll cave on DSP. How significant is stars not being attached to what I presume are the travel lines? Am I gonna be in trouble if a rare star type (black hole, neutron star, white dwarf) isn't connected to the network? I assume they might have some kind of special purpose/resource.

As someone who never played Factorio (didn't like how it looks, its a me problem, I know) and only played Satisfactory a bit. I find myself greatly frustrated by these inserters. I wish I could just run the belts straight into the machines.

I’d also like to point out that it’s totally possible to build golf courses in Golftopia without all the silly gizmos like pinball bumpers and dash pads and stuff and still have a successful and popular “traditional” style golf course.

Disappointing Pie posted:Are there any modern space games out there where you build up a mining empire? It’s hard to describe what I’m looking for but something with good graphics and where you can mine and trade and create a corporation and it’s not Eve online lol? X4 Foundations might be worth looking into but a few semi obscure alternatives might be Avorion (a sandbox space game kinda like X4 but less detailed and you build the ships out of blocks with varying degrees of intricateness... or just download poo poo off the workshop) or Astrox Imperium (which is kinda like "EVE Offline")

Yeah I looked into Astrox a while back and it definitely seemed very EVE Offline, so I'm not surprised it ultimately is kinda dull (if you find EVE dull, at least). Honestly I've been playing X4 lately and really struggling with it, part of it is just being too used to X3's different kind of Jank. That and maybe I just don't have the patience for X-series Jank anymore. I wish there was a better alternative out there. [edit] I'll say this though, X4 has a great soundtrack, just like the X3 games. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Apr 15, 2021 |

I haven't played Mashinky in ages but it has a very "board game" like economy. All commodities are represented as tokens and you earn those tokens by properly shipping them (PAX earns cash tokens). The thing is you don't just buy things with straight up money tokens, you need to use other resource tokens as well, so an LNER train might need coal and steel tokens to buy, but no money tokens. Maintenance/running costs is also paid in various kinds of tokens (mostly coal IIRC). Only the most basic train(s) run on Money solely. It also had a tech-tree that would unlock new stuff (mostly trains? it was pretty bare when I tried shortly after it launched int EA) but it was mostly for getting ahead of the curve, as tech will eventually unlock with the passage of time if I remember right?

I was about to say “Running with Rifles” but then I saw the comments on building stuff. it’s basically too down battlefield and has no real logistics or productions. Closest you can get is setting up defensive barricades/cover and stationary weapons.

zedprime posted:it's so unique and just hits a spot I thought was given up on after Dwarf Fort added z levels. I might have to give this a try, cause I really miss the 2D days of DF. I just miss the whole layout with the underground river, chasm, lava river, HFS. I’ve tried going back but ugh the old interface is such a pain. I’d kill for a versions of 2D DF that’s got a lot of the improvements/changes (especially UI) made since the z-axis was added.

Eric the Mauve posted:And if you play it, get the mod that removes the incredibly stupid "you have to choose one of the three city flavors early and you get locked out of the other two" thing that got tacked on a couple versions ago for no evident reason. Yeah that mechanic is annoying and I’ll probably mod it out in any potential future playthrough, buts it’s also not thaaat bad when you are aware of it. The labor and clergy trees both have perk traits you can get that make everyone less jealous assholes and at the point I’m currently at in my first game, I’ve got pretty much everyone happy and unlocked basically everything but everyone’s final tier of stuff (which is all “Coming Soon!” Labeled anyways besides the clergy’s Abbatical Church monument). I did get kinda locked out by it at first and had to do some gamey things (making a overwrought church cheesing clergy splendor that I immediately tore down after picking up the penalty reduction perks) so yeah, it’s definitely a nasty little pit you can stumble over and I would not shed tears for it’s removal.

Anime Store Adventure posted:I still don’t like that ONI feels like like you have to know exploits so you can under engineer things. I really like the mod that adds a proper airlock door, but then I’m using tons of power on doors. I want to build elaborate HVAC that cleans and stores gasses like chlorine for when/where I need them, but you end up having like 4 high power machines just to do stuff like that, and it takes a ton of room with piping. The thing that broke my brain, and it refuses to get over or accept, is that surrounding a sealed, airtight metal tank of dirty water with chlorine atmosphere somehow sterilizes the water inside. I'm sorry, I just can't get over it.

From what I’ve seen the “cards” in Card Survival are pretty much just presentation. It’s not like you get randomly dealt “forage”, “fishing” or “woodcutting” action cards or anything like that. A card is just your Stone axe, or a fishing rod, or a pile of wood. And you use the axe on a tree to chop wood and then throw that wood into your fire. No card game mechanics at all, certainly not deck building. They’re basically just icons representing objects and resources. The closest you get is resources being randomly found (one might say “dealt”) as you explore a location.

Personally I never had trouble envisioning 2D dwarf fortress as digging deep and down nor imagining those rooms were grand halls with high ceilings and such where appropriate. Its neat you can actually build massive hauls in modern DF, but its also kind of a pain in the rear end to actually do that lol.
