Depends on if RabbitWizard is okay with us playing without them. I don't anticipate they'll miss a lot though. How about in an hour or two at 18:00 or 19:00 CEST?

Sally posted:i dont know what any of this means but looking forward to the edited breakdown updates From that one picture and never having played the game I can tell it means they spent 8 hours holding the space bar to fight trash mobs in the starting area to farm up resources needed to get to the point where you'd normally be within half an hour of playing. These are all assumptions and maybe it was a hilarious 8 hour funfest instead, which I genuinely hope.

There was definitely more to it, but some farming did happen. I don't think it was so bad. Also, you occasionally had to click to heal! The recording is pretty long and I didn't have time to edit it today, so it might be a bit before I upload the Cliffnotes version of the playthrough.

You think a mere spirit bomb can stop me?! Some jerkwad moved my stuff in kitty jail! Shadow0 posted:*10.5 hour I'm pretty interested in seeing it. Good luck editing it down.

RabbitWizard posted:How was it? Did you manage to launch the rocket? Uhhh...  We'll need at least one more session. Or maybe a few more... I'm thinking the next session can 2022/Oct/28 at 20:00 Central European Summer Time. I guess daylight savings still hasn't ended or started or whatever it does yet. I also realize now that I somehow formatted the dates in the OP as YYYY/DD/MM, which is somehow the worst format I could have chosen.  All that after praising the logic of YYYY/MM/DD! smh...

RabbitWizard posted:How was it? Did you manage to launch the rocket? Biters evolve and you still only get 2 resources per kill. Flamethrowers kill the small number of medium biters reasonably effectively for now but it's back to having to be manually involved in farming since flamethrowers mean no belts and also significant damage to walls if unattended. The way that the mechanics and scaling of this mod works, I think we would really need like 5-6 players to be able to get to the point where lasers making actually automating things possible again. The fact that you only get a tiny trickle of resources from each patch compared to vanilla, and that they require a fairly immense ongoing resource cost until you have lasers, mean that unless you have a large group of people meleeing biters from the start to accrue resources fast enough to beat the evolution timer, it's going to be very difficult. Our use of resources wasn't ever really scaling-focused or efficient, which is really crippling. It's definitely still physically possible to make it to endgame, but the margins are probably quite thin now as there isn't a ton of time before medium biters make up a significant portion of enemy spawns. I think that necessitates having a few people dedicated to farming oil from different patches with several other people expanding to collect other resources from other patches. Basically, IMO next session pretty much requires more than 3 people. We might be able to do it with 4, but I think 5-6 is probably more realistic since we will definitely continue being suboptimal and burning a lot of resources. This mod was clearly designed to have like 8-10 or even more people just meleeing biters for a couple hours at the start. Awful design but wygd. Personally, that's the middle of the day for me and IDK if I can make it. OTOH I did just gently caress up my back, so I may actually be around on Friday.

Really not a good place to ask, since not everyone checks the forums regularly~ you either schedule it, ask in advance or use something like a discord where you can ping people. Heck i saw the post only now, which is exactly 3 hours later~

I did though. :P Shadow0 posted:I'm thinking the next session can 2022/Oct/28 at 20:00 Central European Summer Time. I guess daylight savings still hasn't ended or started or whatever it does yet. I reached out to the people whose Discords I have as well. I'm still free if we've got enough engineers; I don't need to wake up at any time tomorrow, so I'm still good to go.

We still need goons who want to and can play. PM me your Discord name so we can arrange things easier if you're still checking this thread. I only have a few of you on Discord.

We have reached nuclear power! ☢️ We've gotten lasers and even bots! Now we're converting the nuclear biters into lasers.  It's been an incredibly long journey, but things are getting much more stable now and it looks like we'll be able to actually win against the hordes and beat the scenario.  But we're not done yet. And I already have so, so many hours of footage I will need to edit...  It's been a lot of fun though.
