Bottom post of the previous page:

My first playthrough was a disaster but they always are. By the third playthrough I had the gas's behaviour down. By the fourth I knew enough to build a base that can last regularly beyond 15 cycles.

Finally my atmos autism has given me useful knowledge

It's not even hard though. You just have a bunch of gas-permeable pipes on the floor so the carbon goes to the bottom of your base, then you just place a bunch of algae farms and make a hatch for all the good oxygen to flow all the way back up. EZ.

And because i'm curious, are any of the other gasses (not oxygen) worth looking into?

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 10:36 pm #265362

Hydrogen is a byproduct of turning water into O2, and can be used as power source

It also goes to the top above O2 so you can use it to fill up dead end top areas and push your O2 down into the actually used areas of your base, if you haven't just walled it off and added an airlock for some reason.

Hm, good to know. How about chlorine, I know bleach stones exist but byond that it just seems like killgas.

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 10:55 pm #265377

It's useless junk gas as far as I know(Not even half as lethal as real chlorine gas!), but can be turned into contaminated O2 through one of the native wildlife species which breathes chlorine and exhales contaminated O2.
Good luck getting real use out of that though, there's no way to collect the animals yet

That's either the darkwraiths (common enemies who eat your humanity) or Four Kings (a boss composed of beefier darkwraiths). Might also be Manus but he has a glowy arm.

When he grabs you does it look like he's trying to make out with you? If so it's probably a dark wraith

It is. It just sits there doing nothing, in the swampy area where you have to extinguish fires. I could just ignore him, but me not being able to kill it (without drinking 4 estus in the process) is telling me i'm not tall enough to continue. I'm not really good at this game.

I've started playing BF4 with some of my friends recently, and it was on sale so we got a copy for another friend for $5

When I was playing some games alone it was "yeah okay I now remember why I stopped playing battlefield" but when you have a squad of pubbies/friends who actually communicate and help each other it's fun

One of said friends summed it up best though on a particularly bad game when he said "arma 3 koth is more fun than this" which blew my damn mind

BF4 is either a great time or an incredibly boring uninstall simulator and I've never seen an inbetween

Disagreed
I prefer seeing them do well and having a good time while at it over dramatic reactions and planned failure

I´ve had enough dramatic overreactions to last a lifetime in SS13 after all

Lumbermancer · Mon Mar 20, 2017 2:47 pm

I've been playing some Streets of ROUGE recently. It's like a rougelike shooter akin to Binding of Isaac but also partially a classic Syndicate. Still in early access, but it seems promising. You have a handful of kooky characters to pick from: if you're a boring individual you can pick Soldier and gun your way through, but if you like fun you can be Clo...I mean Comedian, and walk around cracking dumb jokes making people follow you - using them as your army.

I picked a cop, got a perk for free follower on each level, and patrolled around arresting suckas.

Free version is here https://madguy.itch.io/streets-of-rogue

I'm surprised no one's made a proper syndicate remake (Satellite Reign doesn't count, and it was largely based off the inferior sequel Syndicate Wars anyway)

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Tue Mar 21, 2017 7:12 am #270977

This is where the IP went
It's never going to get remade because the market focus group that is tablet and console gamers won't understand it.

It's best for all of us to nod respectfully at the dead and move along, hoping the dead will rise isn't going to make it happen

Malkevin · Post by **Malkevin** » Tue Mar 21, 2017 9:08 am #270984

Your ip covers the name and setting, but it doesn't cover game mechanics or the general setting themes

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Wed Mar 22, 2017 4:16 am #271338

This is correct
I too hope for a Syndicate remake/sequel/whatever in the same way as Xenonauts was the remake of X-com, and how Cities skylines was to Sim City

FantasticFwoosh · Wed Mar 22, 2017 9:42 am

I mean simcity 5 was very interesting on paper, but it just became a simulation from what i heard to show off the engine more than a refined game (not talking from experience)

Malkevin wrote:I'm surprised no one's made a proper syndicate remake (Satellite Reign doesn't count, and it was largely based off the inferior sequel Syndicate Wars anyway)

It does, its made by the same guy, last i heard.
