I know this is probably not a solution for Icarus’ restricted talent tree, but can’t you use cheat engine or a trainer to give yourself the required BP or talent points you need to cover the more essential stuff so you can then level into all the special talents and BPs you think you should earn? Apparently the game lets you do that as long as you do it offline or in your own instance.

Prop Wash posted:That’s one reason why I’m a little worried about 7 Days to Die - usually the building is no problem but blood moons are all hands on deck. Maybe they can just log out and I can stream that portion? you can just disable the blood moon gimmick, it's fine in fact you can add a mod that increases zombie count full time instead and the game is a lot more interesting, the horde gimmick really pushes you into exploiting specific AI behavior and that gets old tbh.

Vib Rib posted:No. Not like this. Even fuckin notoriously buggy games like Skyrim don't spawn two huge angry trolls on top of you day one as soon as you arrive in Riverwood. Vib Rib posted:Kinda sounds like the very first mission spawning two bears right on top of you to kill you instantly, and it being so well known that players already recommend building a bear-cheesing hut for the mission, is not excused for being a bug. This is loving release. If anything having such a glaring, ridiculous, widespread bug in now, after multiple beta tests, is damning. Having to grind in the first half hour? No crossplay on SP/MP characters? Selling DLC already? And their big selling point, the missions, aren't even interesting, or fun, or rewarding, apparently. They don't add a drat thing to the loop except making you re-craft early game stuff repeatedly. Wow.

The worst part, to me, is that I remember reading the blurb back then and now, looking at it, it just looks so.... bland. Like, forget all the lovely design decisions and stuff, it's so loving boring looking for a game that explicitly advertises itself as being based around "exploring a savage alien wilderness"

They can absolutely log out in 7dtd. That will also make the swarm smaller since basically each player gets a swarm. If the players are all in the same place it gets pretty hectic, but each players swarm concentrates on that player. Anyway yes they should log out and you can stream it.

Umbreon posted:Once I prospect pick an area and find a metal I want You should always find the highest local point for the material your looking for, keep prospecting new chunks until the % stops going up, then as others said dig down and make exploratory shafts. Do note that certain materials will only generate in certain rock types, so if the first type of rock is not the type it can generate in (you can check these in the help menu), you know you have to dig until it changes to one it can. Most ore veins, save for tin, are gently caress-off huge. You can actually build like, a real mine. Server I played on for awhile had a communal copper mine that never tapped out despite six players using it, became a real maze of tunnels though, charcoal marking the way back to the exit was a job. But yeah, once you find a good deposit, your pretty much set for that material going forward. Except tin. The node search propick mode is extremely useful and significantly increases your chances of finding junk.

I played through all of Unpacking while streaming on a Discord server and we all had an absolute blast doing it. It just has some fantastic unconventional storytelling. We all hated the douche boyfriend she moved in with pretty much from the first minute, it owned. Shame the game is so short though.

Build a camp and have several picks ready to go. Really? I found two copper veins so far, but they were tiny and I only found enough to make a few tools, and I went at least two to three blocks in every direction from any copper blocks I could find trying to find more. Thanks for telling me all the other tips though guys, didn't know about the second feature in the prospecting pick. *Edit* do you guys make any changes to the configuration of your world?

I played some of the 7DTD a20 update and am having a very good time on a randomly generated map. The game actually looks surprisingly good now and it feels like the very start of a new run goes much quicker, at least this time around it's not been a brutal start.

The Beta version of the new multiplayer patch on Project Zomboid is otherwise fun but it has some serious rollback issues, where the game will crash and suddenly give you a character you used ages ago (without character death). It is beta, after all, but I still decided to try it out again when it's a bit more stable.

7 Days to die is my fave survival crafting game. It just lacks an ending or plot but it's fun to build a murderbase and get to a decent level. I've spent ages on it. It's super fun with friends too.

I usually don't have this problem but I started Project Zomboid after not playing it for years and after spawning in a house I went around a few times, bashed a few zombies and realized I don't know what to do so I just quit the game. I know it's probably make your own fun kinda game so I just need to do a challenge start instead (which are my favorite in survival games) but what goals do people set for themselves in Project Zomboid? And is there any ending planned? The game starts with "This is how you died" so I suppose not, but one can hope, right? lordfrikk fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Dec 12, 2021 |

Vintage story would benefit a lot from tightening up its ore finding system. The thing is that unlike minecraft, once you do find ore there's usually a fuckton of it. Like hundreds of blocks potentially. You absolutely should turn on the extra prospecting pick mode though, unfortunately you'll have to pick a range and can only reset it on restart but I find that a six block radius is pretty good for figuring out where stuff is. Also since ore tends to spawn in 1-2 block high flat disks you should generally dig straight shafts down, branch out and dig more straight shafts down. Which is also actually kind of cool. It makes a mine kind of just another thing that you're building in a weirdly satisfying way.

The problem I was having with vintage story was that I spent the first 20 hours playing in survival mode. Surface metal doesn't exist in survival mode and you have to pan for your initial 300 or so copper nuggets to get all your mining gear. I started a new custom game with the survival settings but the normal metal settings and am having a much more enjoyable experience.

Zomboid's thing is that in time (which will be surprisingly fast) little by little the infrastructure breaks down and you have to become self-sufficient. Electric grid goes down, you don't have running water anymore, food stores in markets etc. won't respawn... most of the times I've played I never made it that far, though. The hordes get me way before I'm anywhere near that level of survivor.

Yeah I fully had the little copper rocks in mine but they weren't common enough to be a source of copper for smelting or anything. Honestly I think a sluice block of some kind would make that part of the game a lot better and provide a medium step between scrounging for tools and full on mining. It would make sense with the progression too, because you'd really want it about the time you had your saw and wooden planks ready

You can't get a saw without a considerable supply of copper (or trading if you get lucky I guess, but I wouldn't count on that). Anything gated behind forging isn't really going to help you bootstrap out of the stone age. Panning is definitely a horseshit fallback if the RNG has screwed you though, and won't solve the basic problem since unless something is seriously bugged about your game no nuggets means there won't be any copper in the near underground either, so you'll blow all that time sitting around rolling the dice on panning over and over, finally save up enough for a pick, and then wear it out before you find any more metal. I think they just gotta either guarantee you'll get some around your starting location or more clearly signpost when an area's no good and you should move on than "check the manual and see if any ore veins match your local bedrock" A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Dec 12, 2021 |

Been playing a lot (too much) on the server a goon set up the paste few days after not playing since A17 and the game is just real fuckin' good right now. Wrangled a few other goons into getting back into it and am hoping to get some Big Dumb Builds going soon. If you decide you wanna try it out and are willing to deal with bugs it's not a bad time. Speaking of: I haven't encountered any significantly annoying bugs, and most of my performance issues have dropped off, though without a patch that means it was probably on my end. The only notable bug I experienced involved starting a mission outside of an outdoor POI only to have the ground beneath me 2-3 blocks start phasing in and out, though nothing bad happened as a result of it.
