The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion
(lemmy.world)
Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Took a break from Factorio (SE+K2 mod) to play some vanilla Factorio.
Oh and Against the Storm! The distilled "just the interesting bit" citybuilder with a metaprogression frame. That game can not be praised enough.
I don't understand what you mean in regards to against the storm.
It's based around a city builder where you build a settlement from nothing until it is reasonably successful, takes an hour maybe, then your queen commands you to leave it to go settle another.
Each settlement has slightly different creatures populating it (humans, fairies, etc), different set of production buildings available, and different natural hazards and resources. So it is a scramble to set up production, roads and trade routes to fit the circumstances.
You also select difficulty modifier per settlement, which adds more mechanics and complexity as you feel like.
Between each settlement you upgrade your citadel, unlock new buildings and modifiers etc for your settlements.
There's a lot more to it, but I hope that covers the important bits. :)
Cool thanks. I've been meaning to check it out as the visuals trigger some sort of nostalgia feeling.
