  • I've play Ostriv a lot.

    The current build is very playable. There are many 1.0 release games that are in a far worse state (even with post release patches).

    I would just try it out if I were you. The game is a lot of fun as it is.

  • I am a big fan of Timberborn, but if we go all pedantic about it, Timberborn's flood mechanics aren't all that realistic.

    A game that came somewhat close to realistic flood mechanics was Pharaoh/Cleopatra (1999/2000). Even though it used an abstract/statistical model (due to the technical limitations of the time), it felt a lot closer to reality than Timberborn even if there were some gamey elements like how well you respected Osiris.

  • I have seen similar modpacks (the ones I saw on my last playthrough didn't cut it); the plan is to try one of them.

  • I've been meaning to do a New Vegas replay, but the 2 hour modding process is a big turn off and I am not going to play it without mods (been there, done that, no thank you).

  • I didn't know that this was de facto a client side feature (Lemmy WebUI, Piefed WebUI and my mobile client, Voyager, all support it).

    That said, I strongly prefer Piefed style link re-direction; albeit it's a client side feature just like the relative markdown syntax.

  • I don't think having functional, active, somewhat niche communities is the antithesis of the Fediverse's purpose.

    If we had 1M MAU, that would be different.

    It's a common complaint for many people looking to switch off reddit that niche communities are lacking and that having multiple low engagement communities without any clear differentiation is confusing.

    Multiple comms is a good thing, but you also need to make it easy for users to quickly understand what the difference between two communities is.

  • For sure.

    Just pointing out genres with existing, somewhat active communities. There are many genres with a prominent presence of indie games and AA games (platformers, action games, MMOs) that are not really covered outside of general comms like this one.

    It might be best to focus on those areas.

    The local parlance for subs is comm/comms, from the word community.

  • Grand Theft Horse is so much cooler sounding than Rustler!

  • Hahaha. The funny thing is the Fallout comm is pretty active by Threadi standards.

  • Don't think it's Howard's "life work", but it is one of his achievements.

  • Knights and Merchants! It's been so long since I played it.

    Thanks for sharing!

  • It's fundamentally a trading business sim as bigboissmith mentioned. That being said, there is a lot of other things going on.

  • This is a very good game, I've played for a few hours and I've been meaning to get back into it.

  • Some much "corporate speak" in the quotes from the Ubisoft CEO. Almost reads like random gibberish.

  • OP, just use this if voting is such an issue.

    It really shouldn't be though. Comment votes don't really matter IMO (post votes are helpful though).

  • This looks really good. Feel like something beyond your run of the mill space colony builder. A complex building system in 3D (with both land colonies and space stations) and it also seems to have additional strategic layer.

    Reminds of a cross between Planetbase and the old school Moon Tycoon. I think this could give Planetbase 2 a run for its money.

  • Even with AAA, mid-range hardware from 5-6 years works fine at 1080p if you tune down the settings.
