Factorio is one of my favorite games... 427 hours and counting according to our steam overlords... And I only bought it in late 2016.

I have been playing the 0.15 beta tree since it was released and I have around 100 hours just in 0.15 and it is quite stable, I have not had any crashes at all.

They added a lot of map and game configurations with the latest builds. They now have a half-dozen (roughly) presets for starting the game. You can control resource amounts, start area size, biter (enemy) growth, and science cost. You can also specify a marathon mode where everything is much more expensive to build.

If you like building/architect games grab it now and watch all hopes of a life away from the computer vanish.

Quoting: artvandelay440I'll mention it here as well- Shadow Warrior is currently free on the Humble store, redeemable via Steam key. https://www.humblebundle.com/store/shadow-warrior-special-edition [External Link]

Thanks for the tip... I grabbed my copy.

I also noticed that the Humble Store also has Race Online [External Link] on sale for 50% off ($6-US) Has anyone played this? is it good?, it has mixed reviews on Steam.

Wow, I need to go and get this...

RCT and RCT2 were always some of my favorites. I don't remember playing either since I fully transitioned to linux about 9 or 10 years ago.

Luckily, I double checked my GOG account and both RCT Deluxe and RCT2 Triple threat pack are already in my account.

I bought it as part of a humble bundle also. Still have not had the chance to try it.

This game seems right up my alley.`Double whammy though... "unofficial support" sounds less than appealing; and my games budget needs some time to recover after buying too much during the steam summer sale.

That being said... the game is only $12(US) on steam... That is worth some risk and is pretty cheap. After all, I have paid much more for games with horrible linux support (I'm thinking Master of Orion in particular)

In the past, you would just need to put a couch and a drink machine in a staff room and everything worked. With the new changes to staff needs, the staff room actually gives the staff needed breaks and fulfills the new needs. You also need serving tables and bathrooms now in order to take care of the staff needs of inputting and outputting food.

In short, staff rooms have changed a lot... (from the 1.0 release even...)

I am not sure when I will be able to join in, but I will pick up a copy of Rocket League and try to join in the festivities.

A little difficult with the times, I am in the US, Eastern Time (4 hours behind UTC in summer, 5 hours in the winter) So in the morning you are starting around 5am local time... and my night owl usually wears out around 4am. :) But I will send out friend invites... If I am not around on the 5th, maybe our schedules will match up in the future.

I do play mostly single player games, especially builders like rimworld. and tower defense games, but factorio is multiplayer and so are a bunch of the RTS games I have. As I said, I will probably pick up rocket league as well, but I will be a noob (obviously)

I am stretch611 on steam if anyone wants to team up. With the same "tuxlon" avatar that I have here.

I already have it. But I have not played it yet. It was in the Humble Monthly last month, so it is in my library already even though I do not have a windows machine.
