Mods. The hours come from that.

I started with just bobs mods. Vanilla takes me 15-30 hours. Bobs it’s about 60. If you have never tried mods, and want to make the game a little bit more (and have already finished vanilla), bobs is an excellent start.

Next is Bob + angels. Combined this dials up the complexity, base size, and forces you to think a bit more. 120 hours to finish

Seablock - this takes the above and forces you to work with no space at all - very cool. But long. 300 hours.

Space exploration. 500 hours for this.

I did 5500 hours, then stopped at the time of announcement.

This way it will be fresh n magical.

Dream of blue chips

The only thing to hurt steam will be Gabe dying

Let me give you the drug choices options:

Bob’s mod: adds complexity without going too crazy. If vanilla takes you 20-39 hours, bobs will take 50-60 hours. Absolutely recommend this point to start.

Bobs + Angels: my personal favorite - adds a lot more complexity, but still building on the above. Ore processing is huge and awesome. Expect finishing between 100 hours and 150.

Seablock: takes the above but makes it space restrictive - which is hard considering based are gigantic. Very cool mod, 300 hours average.

SE: doesn’t use the bob/angel set, but is still a huge undertaking. Very few finish it, 500 hours is about the average I’ve seen posted.

From when it was posted yesterday…

Cat is named crumbs. It’s 38 pounds in this pic.

He is now on a diet.

Primer

The mystery is working out what’s going on. The answer is a way cooler outcome than what you thought going in.

Correct.

Yesterday Yoshi (valve dev that seems to be running deadlock - he is the one doing all the announcements on the discord) posted a video showing super early deadlock footage on how far they have come.

The old footage used a stack of old models and items that were left over from other games. This is all that is

This game is pain on purpose.

Or it could be voice lines for their other new game that is currently in “invite your friends” beta.

You are most welcome.

Here you go…

What does the lobster shirt mean?

Yep.

I pirated Factorio way back when it first came out (0.72?) and I actually didn’t like it. It was… Bad.

A few months later someone suggested I give it another go, so I pirated it again. It was a lot better. Like way better. I did a couple of months and was like … this is soooo good I’m buying it.

I will pre buy the dlc the moment it’s available.

I’m at 5500 hours and haven’t played since Jan 2023…

I’m so fucked

I’ve booked 3 days haha.

I’ve not touched factorio since Jan 2023. 5500 hours till then.

Factorio DLC is going to break global productivity for a month when it’s released in October.

Another excellent example of this working is Factorio.

The original game doesn’t cost a fortune, it’s made by a small extremely dedicated team. They polished it so hard the shine made everything else look like vanta black. Playing Factorio ruins other games because the depth and quality of everything else is so poor in comparison.

The game came out in like 2013 early access. Full release completed in 2020. A decade after initial launch, they are going to offer a DLC, that will cost money.

Absolutely happy to pay for a DLC for that perfection.

I have a pair of these and I absolutely love them, so much so I convinced a few others to get them too.

Two of us have since had mic issues over he last couple of years where the mic is garbled and not clear. Not sure if it’s a uemser error or issue with them.

Other than that they have good batter, good ange from base, easy to setup, good audio quality, good controls, don’t weigh too much. Would buy again.

Thanks. TIL

How does a discord make money?

Or is it one you need to pay to access?
