/tg/Station 13

Zilenan91

It's all production chains afaik, start with dirt and rocks and then eventually become master of the universe with the ability to make antimatter bombs that destroy entire planets. It's autism but not the unapproachable kind since you need to do so so much to get to the upper levels of it.

Zilenan91

Is Frackin' Universe worth reinstalling for if you've already beaten the game? It sounds a lot like Tekkit/those other production-line Minecraft mods that were pretty cool

Zilenan91

I did that with Dear Esther. I'd replay it every now and again and just zen out with the atmosphere, hear the waves and just relax. It was really peaceful and helped me destress a whole lot.

Zilenan91

Endless Space wasn't as good as I remember it being

Zilenan91

Dark Horse made a comic series about the Xenomorph homeworld where red and black xenos killed the shit out of eachother. Actually now that I think about it, this would be cool as shit if both red and black xenos started on lavaland. Perhaps both versions could have their own chance to spawn as playe...

Zilenan91

The difference here is that walking back and forth between space and the station until you die isn't fun rather than it being genuine I ded.

Zilenan91

Red and Black xenos

Would be interesting. Ultimately I feel it'd just result in a shit gamemode without changing how xenos work entirely. Would work if we had a planet map due to lack of vent access everywhere.

Zilenan91

It was a combination of changes to the UI and inventory. Before, there was only three tabs in your inventory, but you could put whatever you wanted into any of them, with weapons and food automatically going in the first, blocks going in the third, and furniture and stuff going in the second one and...

Zilenan91

its ok I don't like how they pretty much force the colony system on you so early but the colony system is as good as it used to be. I was more focused on watering my crops and putting avian shit everywhere so I could have a colony filled only with members of the master race, rather than actually pla...

Zilenan91

Who will take the time to make this content and map everything out though, SS13 doesn't exactly have a massive playerbase to keep something like this healthy,

Zilenan91

well no like you know how if you put bread in the microwave it gets all moist, that's what it does to pizza, it sucks in the moisture and then pees on it

Zilenan91

There might be now, but there weren't yesterday. I'll check them out.

Zilenan91

I ordered pizza once and the next day we were still eating it, so I told a friend how to use the toaster oven and I later came into the kitchen and saw a piece of pizza sticking straight out of a bread toaster

Though yeah toaster oven pizza is bad it gets all moist

Zilenan91

Funnily enough, they actually made the game worse in 1.0. Before they "released" it, the UI was 100 times better, the inventory was way better, crafting didn't take time, armor didn't require anything but ingots so building a homestead was completely optional, there weren't any Spook ghost...

Zilenan91

There used to be this pizza chain in California called Pizza Guys and they were great out of the box, cold, and microwaved. Their pizza got all crunchy when you nuke it for a minute thirty.

Zilenan91

Yeah, I unlocked to the jump tech and didn't have enough on me at the time to go farther. I saw the Tier 2 stuff and moon ghosts later and I didn't want to go back.

Zilenan91

I never unlocked it considering that gear progression required me to find and grow cotton that didn't even spawn in my starting sector to get Tier 2 armor. I could've dealt with the spooky ghosts but when I saw that I was just done. Oh also you can dodge all ranged projectiles by crouching https://g...

Zilenan91

The laser guns (not eguns) are actually called laser "rifles" in-game. Weapon sizes are literally random.

Zilenan91

There may or may not have been a secret NPC or two underneath the outpost that you have to use a grappling hook or rope to get to. Edit: Oh also yeah you can buy fuel at the outpost but the liquid fuel literally only gives 1 unit of fuel for your ship and it's 5 pixels each. Also I think they not on...

Zilenan91

Played Starbound for about 2 hours. If you want to see my thoughts on it check out the last few posts by me on the Starbound thread.

Zilenan91

OH AND YEAH DID I MENTION FUCK THIS GAME TO GET TIER 2 ARMOR TIER 2 TIER 2 AS IN YOU HAVEN'T LEFT YOUR STARTING SECTOR YOU NEED TO GROW COTTON COTTON THAT ISN'T EVEN FUCKING GUARANTEED TO SPAWN IN YOUR STARTING SECTOR MEANING YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH RETARDED FUCKING SPACE GHOSTS HOLY FUCK THEN YOU HAV...

Zilenan91

Horrifically dumb space ghosts are in the game. I think the devs tried to scare people but these things are just stupid as shit. Hell, your AI even tells you that they're detecting strange readings at EVERY MOON IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE and that's what these things are supposed to be. From what I know...

Zilenan91

Something else that happens is that if you go to a moon to get fuel so you can actually do anything you'll notice you have a status under your name called Spooked Shortly after, this thing slowly floats at you http://i.imgur.com/z6hGSkp.png These are space ghosts. They're at every single moon in the...

Zilenan91

To be fair I wrote that wall of text at like 2:00 AM so I wasn't too lucid

Zilenan91

Played it. Hate it. The entire thing is fucking dreadful grinding. They expect you to search every single forest planet at random so that you can click on random objects like it's fucking I Spy to progress past the first part of the storyline. That is just for the Florans. They then expect you to se...

Zilenan91

It's a game that makes you think. People like to think.

What happened in Inside is that the big flesh ballsack was mind controlling the kid to free itself. That's why in the alternate ending if you unplug the machine you go inactive like the rest of the slave things do.

Zilenan91

That's a fucking incredible idea. Clowns should totally have rainbow blood.

Also yeah coderbus closed it

Zilenan91

No? This is just how the game is. If I was complaining I'd try and find ways to fix it. I'm not really sure if it even does need fixing.

Zilenan91

They should unless they were removed with a stealth change.

Zilenan91

Or just have someone being gibbed reset their slot for latejoiners and re-add oxygen tank gibbing.

Zilenan91

Of course it does. But there's so many different ways people are making /tg/ into that concept. People at one point lauded that they made the game full of Paranoia. Nowadays it's the exact opposite. More recently, Kor added lavaland and you've probably seen people crying about how they hate some of ...

Zilenan91

I'm not saying /tg/ is failed at all. I'm just saying a lot of it is a mess of themes and mechanics because enough people haven't come together to put in the work to make it more focused into being an actual game. This is why roleplay is a thing in SS13. People originally started doing it because th...

Zilenan91

Unless someone turns /tg/ closed source or locks down development only to people who actually want to make the game not a mess anymore it'll never be fixed. /tg/ will always just sit like it is and lurch unsteadily in one direction and then take 3 steps back because nobody is willing to put in the w...

Zilenan91

A lot of the problems of how people think the game should be played is because there's zero direction in how the game is being developed and the people in charge are really just ensuring they stay in charge to keep the project alive. Nobody is doing anything but putting things in the game they like....

Zilenan91

life got in the way

Last time I connected I was pretty active if I remember right

Zilenan91

pretty much. Them enjoying the game makes a greater number of people not enjoy it.

Zilenan91

Bone Armor is cool but that's more of an ashwalker thing

Zilenan91

Probably a lot

Zilenan91

Oh yeah the notes I got how long ago now?

Zilenan91

Honestly Kor I think you're kinda missing the point. The reason people like mining is because of the gradual gain in power they gain over the course of a round. Without a suit a great amount of that power, and that enjoyment, is missing.

Zilenan91

If the cake gets old and moldy I just throw it out with the bathwater and bake a new one that's fresh

What I mean by that is that rounds shouldn't go past 40 minutes, the game isn't meant to go that long.

Zilenan91

If antags don't do things most rounds just devolve into me standing around doing nothing and begging for the shuttle to get called because nothing is happening.

That's what I said. MSO stopped all of lavaland from processing atmos and slowing it down. This resulted in atmos being over twice as fast as before.

Zilenan91

They're all boring though. You shouldn't have to fill up singulo containment with air and tiles every round to set up the engine. It's just really shitty and not fun.

Zilenan91

I've just been using huggbox

Zilenan91

A few. I remember seeing a bunch of them that let NPCs on a planet grow and get more members. So like if there was USCM bunker they'd keep expanding their perimeter and spawning in more NPCs, and if they got big enough they'd invade other planets.

Zilenan91

What are you going to do past 40 minutes though. RnD is the worst thing ever because you sit in a room, press buttons, and stuff falls out. Past that there's nothing to use this stuff you made on so if you extend the round past that it's just a bunch of people jacking off with no conflict or anythin...

Zilenan91

The round was going on for an hour at that point so it was time to pack it up.

Zilenan91

MSO doubled how effective it was when he fixed all of lavaland processing atmos

Zilenan91

Flashes got nerfed to do basically nothing to borgs. I was very very satisfied with myself when that change was reverted in under a day because I was telling Cheridan how it was a bad idea. That buff up there is just reverting a lot of that because of how borgs function. Borgs do not have the weakne...
