They certainly can and have been the downfall of many of my colonies. The highlige meme for instance. Have them take psicite(sp?) Tea every 3 days for a basically free mood buff with little. But if you do run out of the tea you are in trouble. That’s why I like the ideology you can change as you go. You can reform and make it meet your current situation. Did you get a sunblocker off map and you can easily go hydroponics? Reform and take the darkfighting memes to boost your combat ability and hamper your enemies.

A plague take out your goose flock? Reform and remove the rancher memes to stop the downsides.

There is a lot of new stuff. I’m looking forward to playing odyssey because we get to visit more maps. Who cares if my toxifier generator pollutes the area of I’m leaving in 10 days :D

If you are being hit by meteors you have a mod enabled. Mods can be very imbalanced. You don’t need to build a kill box or a specific defense to succeed. Some ARE more optimal but not required at all.

I don’t think ideology is for RP. I can see how that could be a thing. I look at it more as easy mood management. Stack the buffs and minimize debuffs. Converting isn’t hard if you don’t mind imprisoning your pawns for a bit. If you are recruiting prisoners just break their will, convert and recruit.

I’ve tried all DLCs except odyssey. Unfortunately I’ve been away for the past couple of days, it looks amazing. I would recommend biotech DLC if you are looking for a suggestion. It’s very player driven in it’s consumption. You don’t need to play a genetically altered vampire mechanitor lord. You can just play with mechs and dip your toe into it. Maybe mess around with some genetics later in the play through. To be honest I still have not fully played a successful vampire run. It doesn’t appeal to me as much

Ideology adds flavor to your plauthrough and can make your playthrough infinitely easier as drugged up, cannibal, raiders or infinitely harder as secular, tree hugging, ranchers that need to cut down trees for their sky lantern festivals but worship trees and get upset when they cut trees down. Not that I accidentally did that at all.

Anomaly is a horror expansion that adds more events and a little to the base game. It’s under royalty in my recommendation.

Frostpunk 2 released and is pretty solid. Maybe not for everyone but it’s a full title release I believe

I don’t know how I feel about this game getting an award in Early Access. But it feels weird.

I have nothing against EA I played several ea games including this one, but this is getting closer and closer to the norm.

I played 100 hours before I found out Sprint was shift. And I loved every minute of it

Thank you, I wonder how smooth that is going to pay on a controller.

What’s the new movement system in this one?

I didn’t say automated bands based on reports. Yeah those lead to harassment and abuse. Obviously not a good case for automation.

But injecting code into the game with a 3rd party client could be automated if detected. That’s what i meant by automated bans.

What was said wasn’t an insult. “Your momma…” are jokes, “you suck do bad…” are insults. Tbagging a dead body is an insult.

Implying you are going to rape someone and then saying it’s not rape because you would enjoy it isn’t a typical “insult”.

So yeah i read what they said. It just didn’t really apply to the situation.

I 100% agree with enough mutes/blocks leading to a manual thing.

Automated bans are not great but they have a time and place. Theoretically they are getting better.

My point is something should be done about these things. I don’t have the answers, but something needs to be done.

Her saying she isn’t going to mute him doesn’t give him the go ahead to say the things he did.

Could this be a publicity stunt? Sure. Does any of this make what he said ok? No

Did you even listen to what was said? Insults are one thing but alluding to rape and then saying it’s not rape if the rapist enjoys it. Is on a whole different level of depravity.

The problem is you know you have to mute them/ block them after they say/ do something bad to you. When you block them it may stop them from doing that to you but it doesn’t stop them from doing it to others on the game. Making it a bad experience for others.

Mute/personal blocks do not fix the root problem which is the toxic players being toxic in the game.

Connect for lemmy has gotten better now that i can hide posts without interacting with them.
