What Are You Playing Right Now? (Gaming Thread)

[FozzyBear]

been playing a lot of schedule I. its fun but there are some bugs.. that solo dev has put out 3-4 post launch patches but the last one seemed to have create a couple of new lil bugs.. but given how active he is, im sure those will get fixed soon.

main game a lil different than demo...

The game is more than just growing buds to sell.. you can mix budz to create new strains.. you can make meth and the coca.. i just unlocked the coca supplier and am now growing coca plants.. idk if i have to dry out the leave before i can cook it or if i can cook wet leaves with just lesser end quality..

the amount of strainz you can make from your 4 main strainz of bud is crazy.. you can make strains with the meth too.. idk about the coca.. just unlocked it..

the game is a tad bit grindy.. simple grinding, but grinding.. you can hire workers though.. my 2 botanist that grow me budz are outproducing my dealers. i have to not pay them some days so they wont work and i can keep me supply in check due to space. you start out growing by yourself, but eventually unlock options to hire workers. there are several types of workers you can hire.

you can deal by yourself, but you unlock dealers too.. you can assign them customers.

you can buy a few businesses to launder money. you need them cause you can only deposit so much cash per week in the atm.. you need cash and legit bank funds for purchases from different vendors..

you can buy a few places to set up your operations. the first is a small motel room.. im at a barn right now. can afford a warehouse but probably going to buy the taco shop for more laundering..

you can buy vehicles... tbh i use a gold skateboard to get around.. i do have a van to go to the store to load up on certain supplies. all suppliers will eventually deliver too though..

cops will chase you.. but system is simple..

you can pickpocket ppl, you can get weapons.. fiends will walk up on you from time to time.. seem to be happening more.. budz have an addictive meter too.. theres a small casino with a few basic games..

game has multiple functions but they are basic.. solo dev...

wish this game was done by rockstar for more advance features.. more customers/dealers etc etc.. but its fun enough as is..

def have on health bars cause the map is dark and the mobs seem more agro. that option made the game easier overall. i think i beat the first 3-4 maps without it on. while on, no random sneaky zombies f ing shit up. but also got guud and learn to cover every gap etc.

I had a really good start on my first try last night.

Had nothing but rangers and ballistas pushing out in all directions.

I used a ranger to go grab some resource drops and then kited the mob around.

That kiting caused one of the nearby infected mutants to rush and the base was dead.

You need 2-3 ballistas and some double wall between them and the mutants in my experience.

I tried to sacrifice all of my rangers to kite the mutant away but there wasn't space.

No joke, map is dark af, but I like it.

my first few trys on the map had multiple doom cities on my boarder and mutants near me.. no real direction to expand.. def died from charging mutants...at least twice early game....when i did beat it i had east/ne clear enough to where i had time to build to combat an early mutant far west... only one doom city right on my actual boarder to the west. once i cleared that and that mutant i expanded west it was smooth sailing.. easily pushing north and south with full sniper squads dealing with the rest of the dooms/giants/mutants..

Yeah I am upgrading, 15 days till the end.

I pushed south and walled off the chokepoint.

I want to keep this as a 2nd line and build a thicc 1st line farther south.

See if I have enough resources.

I found the Doom Town and have 16 snipers, 10 soldiers, 1 Titan, and 10 rangers, gonna try to pop it.

forgot how long days are in a sense. i normally started at 92.. did 100.

wish there were more maps for that game cause after 80 hours of schedule I, need to play something else . Will revisit that game after further updates, dont want to completely burn out before other features come on line.

Might be tiume to learn rust.. i have it installed and keep it up to date.. but i know the amount of hours can get crazy if you get into it. might just find a chill pve server to learn the game..

I got crushed.

Was just too far behind, not enough force on each chokepoint.

Many held, but that southern one folded and let them right into the core of the base.

I had a huge setback when I started clearing the Doom Village, the infected mutants to the north aggro'd to my northern chokepoint, broke through and infected half my town before I stopped it.

By the time I rebuilt and started clearing again the TAB swarms were like 36 hrs away.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is one of the most beautiful games I have ever scene. Also my favorite period in Japanese history.

yeah that south looked a lil weak.

near the end of my play time exp. i learned to save some resources right before swarm, plus if other chokes arent that threatened, ill delete during the swarm to get some resources back and build another line behind one that might look like it may struggle. thats why i like a few titans though.. they are like mobile executors and move fairly quick. if you place your own mutant at the AIs point of attack with the support of 2-3 executors.. that thing will eat.. just expensive. hard to do if behind though.

also setting all your executors/ballista priorities to attack the strongest or whatever that term was helps a lot.. after that initial wave kicks off you can mass select them all again to go closest ..
