Unless you signed the child labor law, it's not technically working, it's just a fun maze!

That's the toggle for the overdrive and your silly Captain forgot to switch it back after I instructed our scouts to leave your little friends from Winterhome to freeze to death in a cave. So I guess what I'm saying is that there are worse ways to go and we'll be sure to use whats left of your organs productively."

Also, apparently Frostpunk and Moonlighter both did really well for 'em, which I'm glad to hear. It's the rare developer these days that I like and wanna see succeed.

They're pointing to Dubrovnik, where there's a video games conference in a week's time. I assume they'll be announcing something then. They missed the venue by about ten kilometers. Weird, considering they used five decimal places, which gives you a position to the meter. The position they indicate seems to just be a normal looking intersection. Googling the coordinates, it seems like that's what a lot of sites give as the coordinates of the city, to the same number of decimal places. Probably nothing ARG-ish about it, then.

Wow I just went down the wiki-rabbit hole trying to figure out why that strip of land belongs to Croatia and has a non-EU border-crossing to get to it.  Hope it's a paid-expansion (because it has got ~so much content~)!

So having played New Home on survival, I'll have to say that the game balance is a bit off. The first 5-10 days are brutal as hell, but getting out of that in one piece and the rest of the scenario is a breeze by comparison.

The first 5-10 days are brutal as hell, but getting out of that in one piece and the rest of the scenario is a breeze by comparison. New Home and Endless mode suffer the most from this issue. Once you get things up and churning there's not much they can throw at you which your economy can't absorb. Endless mode gives you the random events, but once you get far enough in you have alternate production methods to deal with any random event. I think Winterhome is the best (and most challenging) scenario because managing your city's contraction is just as hard as managing the early parts of the scenario, which is also a bit different because of the ruined buildings.

Winter home is best because it’s about making the best of a bad situation. Like, no telling the kids to stop working, and no cemeteries to keep hope loss down. Gotta just power through.

I really like this game but it has some weird frustrating stuff some times. Like the other day I lost a game because my discontent was too high. The reason for that was because I had the overcrowding law signed, and all my sick people were piling into a single medical post even though I had enough posts for them all to fit comfortably. I tried shutting them down and opening them back up but they still kept packing in for no reason.

That definitely wasn't your only source of discontent I haven't played in a few patches but iirc people decide which medical facility to go to based on bed availability, and they will avoid overcrowding when making that decision. BUT if several people get sick in a short-enough window they can all decide to go to the same uncrowded facility, causing it to become overcrowded (e.g. they have awareness of empty beds, but not awareness of other people traveling to empty beds). This also means that shutting down the facility won't alleviate the issue, because everyone getting kicked out will simultaneously choose the next nearest facility and then overcrowd it, instead. When I play I just always keep my facilities overcrowded. The discontent hit is pretty small

Oh of course it wasn't my only source of discontent, but if people had actually spread out instead of clown-carring into a single tent, I would have been able to get below 75% and avoid the game over.

to me it sounds like you were probably boned anyway. then entire game theory behind frostpunk is that you anticipate crises and move proactively. when you are reacting, you are losing. you can lose for a while before the fatal mistake that immediately got you the game over, but the die was cast back when you got into the habit of reacting rather than anticipating. if your discontent was that high you probably had been losing for about a week, and I’m not confident you or anyone else could have turned that around without some very serious luck.

Everything else was fine. I wasn't reacting to anything, other than my workers cramming into a single medical post like idiots and then getting mad about it. That's probably not a thing that should happen! p.s. I'm not asking for advice, thank you! Fister Roboto fucked around with this message at 09:26 on Apr 13, 2019 |

If your discontent is so high that an overcrowded medical post pushes you into a game over then everything else is not fine

You're right, and the game overcrowding people for no reason is the problem. Like yeah, I know I need to plan ahead and not just react to problems. But I shouldn't have to plan for the game managing my people in an extremely stupid way, especially when there's nothing I can do about that.

Yeah but the penalty for overcrowded medical is also very small Like small enough that just turning off overtime in 1 building covers it twice over

Yes. I know. It was still putting me over the 75% threshold and there was literally nothing I could do about it. I went back and checked my save, I had one post with 7 people in it, one tent with 2 people in it, and one that was completely empty. Seriously why are you defending this? It's stupid regardless of whatever else I was doing.
