Quoting: Anza

Quoting: DrakkerPlayed it quite a bit now, coming from Vintage Story. My overall impression is positive.... But... In single player it has some really rough edges. Battles are a chore if you are not well rested, you will always be out of stamina and be at a great disadvantage because monsters don't have limited stamina like you do, and there's no one else to help you. When well rested and fed though, combat is really, really fun.

The main problem I see right now is the amount of grinding required to craft stuff past the stone age. I'm used to things taking a long time, as I said earlier, coming from Vintage Story, but mining in Valheim is just not fun at all. It's a huge hassle, and you will spend hours doing it. It takes way too much material to upgrade your items and armors. I'm pretty sure that they will change that before the release, as the feedback from everyone seems to be the same.

If you are not in a hurry to try the game, and don't plan to do multiplayer, I would recommend waiting until the game is closer to release and the game balance is improved.

I think for the stamina there's several things that help. First is that most common enemies in the beginning run around bit aimlessly which gives some time to recover stamina, especially if you get bit more distance by walking away. Bigger groups are a problem though. Tactic is to try to reserve some stamina as you might need it ...

Food is important stamina source, especially once you are able to farm carrots, carrot soup gives you lot of stamina. If you are able to cook some meat on top of that, you'll get lot of health and some stamina even on top of that. Just remember to keep stack of it with you. It helps to save good stuff just for the time when you actually need it.

Your Stamina pool grows just like your hp due to food. 254? is the highest you can go with the right combination of food right now.

for single player the material grind is stupidly high if you want to build a casle... also there are height restrictions on terrain manipulation. If I want to build a structure for fun I break out the cheats as it would take 2 or 3 months to mine mats for the building i just spent 2 days placing. one of the cheats is a free placement mode which really lets you go wild on the creative side.

I spent 3 days placing an armed port for a large city build im doing. both playing the story and creative play are quite enjoyable for me. I cant wait till the next content release happens.

Im surprised no one else mentioned space engineers. its basicly the only one that survived empherion can be argued as working if you can figure a way to kill eac but still has a bit to go to match SE. Its also one of the areas that is rather lacking in linux capible games.

FCE mine craft and afew others are also builders but in a different direction.

iron harvest may be worth looking in to eventually but that's a rts and as some have said there's plenty of those. I havent seen many new ideas and looking through the top 500 steam games not alot jumps out that isnt already atleast proton capable.

Quoting: Toric

Quoting: ArdjeBroadcasting actually *works* \0/
Now I can let everybody enjoy my plays of radiator 2

How were you able to get it working? the article says it still doesn't work yet. Did you find a workaround?

I can confirm it does work just by turning it on in settings and allowing all or friends to watch. I opened up the broadcast hub on volconoids and verified it did show a stream for me.

Quoting: LiamFor the Linux client, Valve updated vaapi decoding to libva2 compatibility, they applied some fixes to free disk space checking due to issues with some NFS mounts and Steam Input's F12 binding was fixed as well. See the full changelog here.

OMG I have been waiting for nfs fixes for 3 years. [Its probably technically a 2TB size bug but especially affects nfs and cifs shares]

Quoting: Mal

Quoting: DMGWhat is main goal in this game? Survive, launch yourself back to space or what?

They basically grow their bases as large as possible until the framerate of the game becomes impossible (don't misunderstand, the game is extremely optimized but ofc if your factory continues to grow eventually you hit your CPU limit). You have to try to understand how this seemingly innocent game can become an addictive virus.

there is apparently a clustering mod out there so you can run multiple "cities" worth of factorio together. clustorio is its name. I have not gotten quite that far along to try the stupidly massive frame crushing cities yet but winter is coming so i may do so in the near future.

now if only they would fix the large partition and nfs drive support that has been broken for a year or two.

for me their linux or proton version never worked. I tried a few times to get support on the forums and got ignored. ns1 was great but i never got the loving fealing from ns2 quite sad.

im interested in it as well.

Stick is it possible to have some thing like this called inside the game? for example if I set some flags up so that music style changes between day and night and then if for example a enemy arrives would there be a way to have it adjust the music on those queues? or for example if you have a roller coaster the types of instruments would be queued by how high the roller coaster and the tempo of the music on how fast it goes?

I could see this being a lot of fun with a Procedural world making the experience truly unique. Something like no mans sky where you have several types of worlds weather events as well as semi random resources would be ways to key music generation.

Quoting: TehFreekTerraTech and Avorion are... closish, but definitely not the same.

Ive been looking at avorion but ya its missing the hop on land and make your base which is also a part that i like.

I find it to coincidental that rust broke badly again when they decided to rip out opengl and only support untested[in their product/development] Vulcan support. Windows users were unable to use the --use-vulcan command and I believe it looked alot like the broken ness that linux users had to live with.
