I recently read about JADAM organic farming which is about maximizing sustainability. I’ve only learned about it the day before, so I’m not sure what it is exactly but seems to fit people’s general idea of organic farming. I’m still trying to find what they’re trying to sell besides a few books.
If the timer runs out, the pelican is called automatically. It doesn’t matter if you are out of range in this way.
People are thinking about eldritch stuff and archeology.
If it is archeology maybe we’ll get a z-axis.
I’m around level 35. My playgroup all run shotguns so I typically use the marksman rifle to provide covering fire ( the counter sniper is awful, don’t bother). Light armor every mission; armor rating is bugged but besides that you can out run anything except chargers; just remember to kill hunters and stalkers.
Expendable Anti Tank every mission. Every minute you can kill a charger or another elite. They can also take out bug nests and bot factories. Just throw them out and let your team use them if they want to. Every minute you have a strategem to drop on someone’s head or into a big hole. I can’t stress enough how great it is to have these.
Autocannon/Railgun. Auto Cannon can take out nests, factories and eggs. If anyone else decides to help reload you can go full automatic and kill everything. Remember to reload yourself between 1 and 5 shots to get the quick reload. Railgun is mostly to 1-2 shot hulks in the eye. Otherwise it can kill anything if you are alone.
Then free slots for experimentation. I like the gas for softening groups, all eagle gems are good, and the 380mm barrage for killing my friends. The personal shield is great but I am not a coward.
The mortors make exterminations a cake walk. I otherwise avoid the turrets since they aggro everything around you and I usually walk around every pack. I may start using them as a distraction though.
I play scout in my group so I constantly look at the map to check for patrols. There are times I’ll check a spot for automatons, turn around and back again to see a new pack spawn there behind my back, just standing there menacingly. When you’re in a fight and moving around it very easy to walk into a freshly spawned pack.
Clearing outposts reduces the pack spawn rates. There are patrols that spawn from there before patrolling around the map, but I think the game spawns them around the players to reduce tracking random mobs on the map.
We have one or two guys hunting outposts with grenade launchers, so about halfway through a mission we have free reign on the map with little to no patrols and other pack drops.
Massive swell of people to make any progress to have something to campaign with for Putin’s re-election. Ukraine has been generally running low on artillery and can’t fully capitalize on countering large unit offenses. The Ukrainians have a lot of western equipment but are low on funds to supply them.
They did have something similar to a draft mode. It’s been a while since I played but you would build a deck from a series of options, usually 3 cards or 3 synergized subsets of cards, and this would repeat 15(?) times. Then when the deck is built you queue against other constructed decks.
People would just reset a run if their drafted deck didn’t come together.
I’ve played hundreds of hours in RimWorld but was late on Dwarf Fortress. I dabbled before it came to steam and bought it as soon as it did. I’m waiting for adventure mode to really dip my toes into it to really see the world at large, an experience you couldn’t get in RimWorld and the others.
