You're good, play however you like. I've never tried it because I'm the opposite way, but some of the main story quests seem to imply if you don't wanna bother an NPC builder will take care of it. Those have generous deadlines and the game seems to want to react like you did it at a reasonable pace rather than freakishly fast.

Ytlaya posted:Okay, I'm starting to see the appeal of this kind of game. Hours just disappeared in the blink of an eye last night. I think all the dine-in Blue Moon meals give you stamina back - you can see how much in the bottom right where it lists the total price. For the to-go meals, controller players can press in on the left joystick to see more detailed information about stuff before buying it. I don't know what the button is for keyboard players, but there should be a little tooltip at the bottom of the screen. Dirk the Average posted:Edit 2: I really like Venti as a pairing for the builder. Mi-An has her own company. Venti comes from a poor background where she didn't have the opportunity to study to become a builder. She works as a salvager, enjoys helping people, and has a line about how salvagers and builders tend to fall for one another because their work is closely related. In my opinion it's a fantastic thing where her interests dovetail with the builder's nicely, as she happily supports your company's operations, gets to learn more about building, and gets to contribute directly to helping people out in the way that she wants to.

Minor thing I noticed: when doing inspections the defects on the item on the right are visible before you go into inspection mode, so you can peek at them without dealing with the time limit (though you obviously can't rotate them). While some defects are very obvious, others are surprisingly subtle like divots that can only really be seen if you orient the item to a specific angle. If you're stumped make sure you've looked at all six sides of the item!

So I just read the description of the avocado. It's described as "juicy." If your avocado is juicy, I think several things are wrong.

Gully Foyle posted:I just started and I just wanted to know if anything is missable in the game by going slowly or not doing all the commissions - don't want the game to feel like completing chores. Take your time, man. The game will accommodate you. poo poo, if you slack off on a few of the main quests such that the game wants to schedule a Big Cutscene Or Event on the same day as the Day of Memories - a festival built around the idea of remembering the dead - the game will move the holiday so you don't have to miss anything. Which has happened often enough that Pathea had to patch an issue related to it today, so it's not one of those 'this only happens if you gently caress up in these specific ways' things. Play the game at whatever pace you like, and see what happens! The 'My Time' games seem to have a real definite emphasis on "let people play the way they want to play." Like, if you enjoy spot-the-difference games, congrats, Inspections are gonna be a lucrative thing for you! If you don't? Magnifiers are stupidly cheap to make, so guess what, it's still going to be lucrative for you. Wanna maximize your commissions done? Cool, you'll be swimming in Gols so you can buy a bunch of raw materials instead of digging for them yourself. Don't wanna do that? Cool, take a couple days off to gather mats and then you can knock out a bunch of commissions with all the poo poo you gathered. Hate diving in Hazardous Ruins because you don't enjoy the combat? No worries, pay the Civil Corps to go on expeditions for you. And so on, and so forth. Most (not all!) goals have more than one way to accomplish them.

Haha it actually started that way because I tried to make a second story but it went too far and I didn't know how to undo it at the time, and I tried fixing it but added another goof and then just decided to go full goblin mode and stick roofs and every lightup thing I could on it. The builder for it is easier to use now. The downside to that house is I can't build stairs since nothing aligns right and I didn't wanna expand into my poorly planned workshop or move my good soil. Edit: holy poo poo, that place.looks amazing. Can't even see the workshop parts just looks like a nice plaza. Oh man now I'm thinking with portals. My whole factory could all be atop a goblin fortress. Khanstant fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Nov 10, 2023 |

I briefly messed around with furniture, but the controls were a bit confusing (maybe because I'm using a controller). Hopefully I can find someone to copy at some point, because whatever part of the brain deals with that sort of thing is just broken for me. I can't hold the big picture in my head at all.

I wish I could do lovely things like that, but I find the building interface janky as gently caress. It's super-difficult to accurately select something, sometimes it will select, other times it won't. Camera movement is slow and zoom levels also feel pretty bad. By far the worst part of the game for me.

So funny thing I just found out. Whether or not you can walk normally in sandstorms depends entirely on whether your character model has the appropriate gear on. So you can wear whatever you want, but your currently displayed outfit must have a sand protecting item. It's very silly. So even if you're wearing a hazmat suit that normally protects from the elements, if your displayed clothing doesn't have the right hat on, you will still shield your eyes from the sand.

It's very difficult to move just a single "grid space."

If you use it outside you get the same view as if you'd go to Heidis shop to edit your house. But it also works inside your room!

Is that projector film story at the museum intended to be in that style? When I saw it in EA I assumed it was the storyboard for a more fleshed out cutscene running in the background. But it's still the same. Worth sitting through if you get a chance, but oof, talk about depressing. Where's the Lorax when you need him? (guess we'll always have the goony water guy looking out for the oasis for now)

I think the bus that can show up in the scrapyard (maybe gated by story progress?) might be a lowkey Mystery Men reference. Mostly because of how hard it is to scrap.

I heard apparently in one of the romance missions Owen has you do this play with him and proposes at some point. If you refuse he's crushed and all the towns people in the audience all have unique lines about the drama. Cooper: "Boy Howdy you could just hear the EXACT moment Owen's heart got torn in half! "

I liked Catori the most of the romance partners. She is the most like my builder. If Builder had a kid and that kid didn't produce any resources then like Catori I'd just park it with the other parent somewheres.

Is there any reason to do stuff like the rock/paper/scissors minigame or sparring? Haven't done the latter just because I'd definitely lose since I'm still so early, though. Also, are commissions the main source of money, or do I want to do stuff like use all this copper I have to make things and then sell those things? And if so, are there any good "money-maker" items that have a good ratio of cost/difficulty to sales price?

Commissions should give you plenty of money and you get all sorts of other goodies for them. Just beeline the extra commission skill and once you get up to 3 commissions a day you get basically all the money you need. You'll need absolute mountains of copper and bronze and such so I definitely wouldn't be selling them off. Stuff like the card game and sparring are just for relationship points. If you find them tedious, you don't need to bother.

critter cards and sparring provide extra free sources of friendship points. this can be useful for the dudes that rarely post commissions and don't participate in events. very few of the townsfolk ever provide much of a challenge while sparring. also, there's no penalty for losing. you just get fewer points. don't sell your materials. you get more than enough money from doing daily commissions.

Copper pots are a ridiculously good holiday gift. 7 villagers either love or like it. On the other hand, some villagers have such terrible taste as to not like Amira's weird little clay dolls.

You increase in rank by doing commissions. So it's a pretty painless process.
