General Discussion / Re: Cogmind in the Scrapyard ... A learn to Roguelike book
« on: October 01, 2015, 04:56:14 PM »
This is phenominal.
With that said, if I were to be a hopeless pedant, I'd have to say that 'lament' stands out as being another grade up in reading level. I know you're not actually going for childrens-english in writing style, it just stood out so I thought I'd mention it.
Speaking as an adult, I find the language choice there to be glorious.

I'm suggesting that both parts function independently, even if you need to combine them to reach the current level of utility...

Ideas / Re: Weapon Mounts
« on: September 23, 2015, 09:06:06 PM »
I think the idea is excellent, but a step too complex. If nothing else, it becomes another example of "Must equip X to use Y", and there's enough grumbling about the two examples already in game. 
For the others out there: My suggestion was pretty much moving the Targeting Computers from a Utility to the Weapon Slots (Call 'em Targeting Pods, or something), thus meaning that if you want to boost your damage output, you want weapon slots - either for more guns, or better gunnery.
It'd help distinguish 'combat' builds from the current 'do you want half a dozen engines or half a dozen guns, everything else is the same' design. That said, if our favourite dev likes utilities being the default option for builds, then that's fine... it was just rankling me a little bit that the difference between a 'combat' build and a 'stealth' build was in the placement of half a dozen slots out of, what, twenty-odd?
Well, that, and investing slots in utilities to make your shooting work better is cold comfort when the targeting computers get shot off and you're staring at a cache of miniguns...

I do believe that all four of my runs for the entire competition were some of the worst ones I ever achieved. One of them barely got to its first evolution.

Is it feasible to wrangle them into doing partial functionality without the extra bits, perhaps?
It might seem weird, but making sense of fuzzy data is better than no data at all, and the 'error' message could be a helpful hint as to the part needed to make it work properly...
As you say, they're a special case that is very rare. I guess my line of thinking is whether the special case is strictly needed at all.

« on: September 20, 2015, 07:09:59 PM »Needless to say, I rather wish the Accuracy Chip was actually a Targeting Pod instead - that way you could have a weapon mount that let you make your guns more accurate... and if they got blown off, you could at least shove an extra gun in the same space to keep your damage output up too. It'd also help make combat builds that little bit more... distinctive, I suppose?Hm, I had an idea for a mechanic that wasn't this, but the interface I theorized could potentially work to implement what you're talking about here, and I like that idea a lot...
It would require a lot of work because it doesn't fit into the current systems, but I think as you say it would give combat builds an interesting alternative approach. In a way it would encourage taking more weapon slots, but it would have to be worth more than taking a more generally versatile utility slot.
While I'm absolutely positive that whatever mechanic you're thinking up is going to be subtle and brilliant, if the time:benefit is not in your favour, straight-up +accuracy targeting pods would not be in the least bit unwelcome.
As zxc points out, combat builds really only want half a dozen weapon slots at the moment - the slot type is self-balancing, because recoil, heat and volley time mean that you start getting diminishing returns on more slots very quickly. Meanwhile, utilities can do it all - armour, storage, scanners, stealth, hackware and combat efficiency (via +accuracy items)?
Yeah, I'd really prefer to be given a reason to 'load up' on gun slots. Even if their sole purpose is 'make your shooting better' in the same way the purpose of Movement is 'make your moving faster', it'd be nice if there wasn't a utilitiy that did a better job at improving the gun salvo you already had more than an actual gun slot, y'know? It'd be like there being Utilities that outright improved your move speed without the loss of versatility and heat output of actually installing more VTOL thrusters...
It's up to you, of course. It just feels odd that once you reach a certain point, the correct way to boost your firepower is to install more utility slots. The weapon slots had enough drawbacks as it was.

Strategies / Re: z << Manual Command
« on: September 15, 2015, 11:13:46 PM »
Man, I've never used a manual command ever. I get they're the fancy-pants stuff, but I sort of file them as 'wringing everything possible out of the game' rather than playing-as-intended. But terminals tend to have so little to offer I might just have to start memorising the things after all.
A small wish: Terminals would stop blinking after they've cooled down; and/or that the blinking was at least related to cooldown. I keep trusting it and getting caught; manually counting turns is no fun and I lack the ability to wait because my laptop trackpad doesn't have a scroll wheel.
I should probably check what Deep Network Scans do too, come to think of it. I used one all last game for hacking... mostly on good faith.

Sensor Array/Signal Interpreter => Scanner Array/Scan Interpreter, perhaps?
Word associations can make a big difference, and 'scan' has connotations of 'what is that' rather than 'I see all'.

Wait, so playing the game well makes the game shoot you harder?
I'd thought it focused on killing you proportionate to how much you were slaughtering things/causing havock; not by how well you were actually doing.
This feels a little odd, given half the fun of most roguelikes is 'beating the curve' and then trying very hard to stay ahead. Here, that will apparently get you killed?

Strategies / Re: Combat Run Theorycrafting & Open Discussion
« on: September 14, 2015, 09:38:58 PM »
My most recent weekly run was my first real shot at combat runs since the earlier alphas, and things are certainly... different.
Treads have been buffed enough that they're absolutely the way to go. I almost wonder whether legs need a little something (heavens knows what) to keep pace with the trundlin' things. I ended up with three slots, but only after I ran out of treads and needed something to keep moving with legs! So yeah, that part is good.
The biggest thing I notice though is the difference between a stealth build and a combat build is how many propulsion/power vs guns you take - absolutely everyone seems to need to emphasise utilities. And I disagree to a certain extent regarding the accuracy utility - it's effect is dramatic, especially if you're stuck without AoE weapons against Swarmers.
Needless to say, I rather wish the Accuracy Chip was actually a Targeting Pod instead - that way you could have a weapon mount that let you make your guns more accurate... and if they got blown off, you could at least shove an extra gun in the same space to keep your damage output up too. It'd also help make combat builds that little bit more... distinctive, I suppose?
I've also noticed a lot of cores you kill off robots are Light, Compact, etc. If a robot has plenty of weight tolerance, is there any reason it doesn't have the heavier versions in place? It'd certainly make scavenging the things easier, and if you're running energy weapons, you'll value the battery space. I also sort of wish the Power slot were a touch more versatile; some days you need plenty of juice to run your lasers, but then you wind up finding a cache of kinetics, your lasers eventually get shot up, and you've now got dead slots.
Mobility-wise, there's lots of strategies to commit to, one way or the other. Weapons can be kitted out aplenty depending on your needs (I still fondly remember using a Greatsword while running a flying build; zoom up and chop their guns off!). Utilities? Utilities are half the game right now. But Power? Take as few slots as you can get away with, keep them filled with the biggest plus you can find, and you're done. Perhaps things like 'toughened' power cores, that are halfway between heavy reactors and armour; you slap 'em on if you need the health more than the spare juice...

Simplest solution: It ticks over until the first new robot shows up, then goes back to the usual idling.
In a busy hall this might be a little annoying perhaps, but you could have an option to ignore the neutrals for when they don't bother you. Personally, I appreciate the warning. Bloody scavengers...

« on: September 10, 2015, 03:11:29 PM »
Well! Sorry this is quite so late, but my first attempt at a combat run in a while turned into one of my best runs in a while full stop, so I decided to take my time. I hope it still counts?
Turns out this was a great seed for it - an all-importaint launcher just right there early on, combined with armour and a healhthy stream of weapons... yeah, this was fun.
Until the hidden level trapped me with [REDACTED]s who not only outrun a tracked Cogmind, but laugh at my puny weapons too... who knocked off everything I owned and blew up my 20-odd spare parts to boot. Which, of course, lets you run the Core hover movement, so I ran for it... and stumbled into a horde of buddies, who promptly murdered everything on the level? Honestly, I halfway expected a story element there. My one regret: My Hcp Storages were both obliterated in the initial confrontation... else I'd have taken everything with me.
Alas, without them, I was running well equipped but very 'lean' on spares for a while, and the just slightly pesky assassins chewed through my equipment. I died surrounded by two assassin teams, a pair of hackers, and a squad of Veterans, amidst exploding nuclear reactors.
Glorious.

I mean 'hidden' in the sense of 'not immediately obvious it's a warning sign', not 'hard to spot on the screen'.
For comparison, by my way of thinking Cogmind itself is a 'hidden' letter C, as it were: Plenty clear, but it's not as obviously an item of typesetting as the baseline character was.

For some reason, I really want it to be a hazard sign:
Alas, I suspect it wouldn't go with the iconography set we already have in place; it'll presumably have to look like a little device of some variety. Still, it is pleasingly generic, and even follows the vague form-factor of the ASCII caret.
