    Everquest - Live Servers

    I was wondering this too. I made this thread: 4 months after release, what's your highest persona? | Page 5 | EverQuest Forums Few people are leveling personas to max level on live, and the people that do are mostly 6boxers that enjoy grinding. I'm planning on leveling up some personas this...

    Factorio

    I went to my Vitamelange planet and rebuilt the factories. This heavily uses direct insertion like the naquitite factory but tries out a new idea of building each factory next to a Core Miner, moving all the core mining to each quadrant while consuming it with priority but still getting most of...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    There's no Kensai, but having played BG1/2 as Kensai multiple times, I felt right at home as a barbarian in BG3. Especially when if you get the badass flaming sword in the tutorial.

    Underspace - Space game, spiritual successor to Freelancer

    Definitely looks like a Freelancer clone. I think I got tired of the gameplay mechanics of "rotate your ship to aim at this floating reticle" a long time ago. After playing Chorus that tried to evolve way beyond that with more arcadey combat options the first thing I look for in my beloved...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I just got off the phone with Ngreth, in order to reward players for exploring other areas they are going to reduce XP and loot drops in a zone by 10% for every pick that is currently spawned for that zone while doubling XP/loot for zones with no picks and increasing loot/xp by 50% for zones...

    LitRPG

    I just finished Shadeslinger, Ripple System 1. I enjoyed it a lot, though I think some of the MMO aspects are somewhat worn out for me after having plauyed a dozen of the damn games over the years. I expect future books will be less generic MMO and more evolved, which is fine.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    The US Senate didn't propose this. A member of the US Senate (known for this kind of bullshit) sent a letter to Biden about it. I don't even know if Sen Warren is on whatever subcommittee would be responsible to craft this kind of legislation. edit: she is on the taxation subcomittee...

    Factorio

    I played vanilla Factorio for a brief time and never got into megabases that process 1k+ SPM or whatever. For most solutions (build masssssive bases) the logistical challenges of megabases is pretty different to Space Exploration which has highly diverse recipes and relatively low throughput of...

    Factorio

    Solving this without rail chain signals is probably impossible. https://wiki.factorio.com/Rail_chain_signal It's non-trivial to understand but once you get used to them become super obvious. Chain rail signals in, rail signals out. Note that bidirectional rails is often considered bad...

    My recommendation is to just bounce around the different zones and try to enjoy the process.

    Factorio

    The way I do ratios is with Helmod where I create this production block and then roughly create the right ratios. Beyond the ridiculous amount of naquitite stacks going through, this processing is an absolute monster with 6 solid inputs, 5 liquid inputs and 5 outputs.

    Factorio

    At some point when I upgrade this factory the big change is to have the rail cut through the center. and offload on both sides. This will increase how much direct insertion from buffer chest to pulverizer, which is better UPS. It'll also simplify my inputs/outputs a bit being able to use the...

    Built my first Naqium Ingot factory, pretty happy with it. downscaled: full pic https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53666399892_0e6e891ce4_o.jpg Naquitite processing is notoriously busy because it has to be mined outside the solar system and only stacks till ten. Most people do an...
