You can transmute gems -> workers, gold -> mana
You get hive queens too, a la swarm sim (they create ants/sec)
Oh, a new incremental? Yay, something else to do instead of working!
My alchemists are now producing more mana than my mages!
(~300M/s)
Number go up
hmm, I can also transmute ants to gems
@GnomeSlice Numbers go up in inter-dependent ways that are non-trivial to optimise
Really wish one of these games would use "click-hold" instead of just spamming clicks.
My mouse is rather loud.
15:03
@Yuuki use an auto-clicker
or a userscript
I've got a good turbo click ahk script assuming you have ahk installed (you should)

Q: How much does armour weight affect stealth?

SaintWackoI read somewhere, I think in a loading screen tip, that the weight of your armour negatively affects your stealth when sneaking. How much does it affect it? I'm playing a stealthy sniper type character, and I'm trying to figure out whether I'm okay to use the heavier armour I'm finding, or whethe...

Are the pipe weapons any good past level 30-ish? I only pick them up to scrap them for springs and gears now.
Gotta use my .38 ammo somewhere
15:10
I imagine there's going to be a mod that lets you convert between bullet types.
@Sterno I like how he nopes out at the end
At least there better be one.
I'm gonna be late as funk
You can convert weapons to use different ammo types
@SaintWacko Hell yeah
15:10
@Lazers2.0
Radiant Pick: 5Oc Gold, 25 Majestic Gems
Seriously, that question is awful.
@Unionhawk Same here
@SaintWacko Not all weapons though.
@Yuuki Yeah
15:11
woah. This pick mines crazy gems
I wonder if my legendary armor that says "You take 15% less damage from humans" stacks. And if so, if it's additive or multiplicative.
@SaintWacko And besides, converting a pipe gun to use a different ammo type doesn't address the literal mountain of .38 bullets I (and apparently @Sterno) have.
@StrixVaria "which characters can jump"?
(On mobile)
@GnomeSlice Still a pretty awful question.
It's not asked very well
15:14
Hard to use your Pip-Boy while wearing armor that makes you invisible.
I thought pipe guns were literal trash, until I found a suppressed .45 pipe gun.
I used that for the better parts of levels 15 to 23.
@Yuuki Right, I'm talking about converting other weapons to use .38 ammo
@Sterno When that happens, exit the pipboy, pull it back up. The display should appear in BLAZINGLY HARD TO READ bright font.
@Sterno The screen should still show. It does for me
15:16
I got a leather leg armor that gives me permanent stealth boy when I stay still.

Q: Do multiple pieces of chameleon armour stack?

SaintWackoIf I equip multiple pieces of chameleon legendary armour, will they have a greater effect than just a single piece?

1
Q: Does carry weight affect stealth?

SaintWackoI know armour weight affects stealth, but does how much you're carrying have any effect? (More text so that it meets quality standards)

I'm also having a hard time figuring out what the heck kind of armor I'm allowed to have and still be able to stealth.
Combat armor sets baddies off, even though I have the 50% sneak perk. I've downgraded to leather and I can somewhat sneak.
Oh, boo. I was just getting ready to upgrade to combat armor
@MadMAxJr Yep, I have some sweet chameleon armour

Q: How much does armour weight affect stealth?

SaintWackoI read somewhere, I think in a loading screen tip, that the weight of your armour negatively affects your stealth when sneaking. How much does it affect it? I'm playing a stealthy sniper type character, and I'm trying to figure out whether I'm okay to use the heavier armour I'm finding, or whethe...

That's what I'm trying to figure out
I've been having a hard time sneaking in shadowed metal armor but I figured I just needed the sneak silent even while running perk.
15:19
I just asked a handful of questions about sneaking
Yeah, getting rid of my shadowed metal chest piece stopped setting off every monster ever.
Also, Feral Ghouls are insane in this game. If they get any weirder I expect to see one crawl out of a breadbox.
Boo. I scrapped all my leather armor too, and am out of leather
Time to start looting all the junk again, I guess
Apparently the best undersuit is the vault suit.
With the occasional swap out for a stat booster.
I think so
@SaintWacko I think .38 is the weakest ammo type though so I'd just like to be able to convert to ammo types, even if it's multiple .38s for a single .308 or something.
15:21
But a bullet you have is more powerful than a bullet you don't have
The .38 is just fine in the early game. You need a full automatic to get any mileage out of it later on.
sage nod
I've been handing out .38 ammo like candy to settlers, ripping the pipe gun out of their hands, upgrading it with whatever I've got, then giving it back to them.
If you'd use a mod to convert .38 bullets to .308 bullets, why not just console-drop yourself some extra ammo and skip the middleman?
Also, there needs to be a weapon crafting station in every large fight room. :|
So I can just pick up all the guns and rip out their precious screws.
15:22
Because a mod makes it feel like a gameplay mechanic
Or something
I am still greatly amused that a construction worker class Protectron enforces workplace safety with deadly force. He only attacks you if you don't have a hard hat.
@GodEmperorDune I haven't seen Live In Fuckin' Dublin yet

@Lazers2.0 "yes", I'm pretty sure something similar has already been asked but I can't find it

Q: Can you shoot down nuclear projectiles mid-flight?

user1306322I saw this short video clip which depicts a player getting very disappointed at the sight of a nuke flying towards them, while scoped in a sniper rifle.

Q: Does your current level affect the enemies?

ChaseCI know in games like Skyrim your level could affect some of the types of enemies you faced. Once you reached level X, enemy Y became a stronger type. Does this type of enemy design exist in Fallout 4? If so, what places are not? Are there areas that will be very easy or very hard no matter what...

Right. Codsworth.
16:41
Though, I dunno, I don't think asking @kalina to keep the floors waxed for a few hundred years will end well
I don't think asking @kalina to keep the floors clean for a weekend would end in anything other than fire.
that depends if the floor cleaning implement can be remote controlled or not
Maybe just ask one of those magic ponies to make it clean forever and incapable of acquiring dirt.
And also if the floor cleaning implement robot has flamethrowers
well flamethrowers are always a bonus

Bots in the answers here
@Chippies speaking of, when I plugged in my two external monitors to my work laptop docking station, Windows failed completely to detect them and Ubuntu handled them flawlessly
which is basically the opposite of my past experience
I was really surprised.
I mean I also knew better to make sure that the top-left corner of the total area should be taken by a monitor...
17:31
@badp odd, but I don't really have any experience with more than 1 external monitor at a time, so I don't know what the causes could have been
even weirder that it worked on Ubuntu
if it didn't work on both it would make more sense
@Chippies I dunno, Windows was like "look I don't think that you do have monitors there, but if you think you do, I can pretend"
I'd get a new "virtual" monitor every time I hit detect displays
I know someone who has a dell laptop that he plugs into a docking station at work with 2 external monitors and it works fine on windows, so perhaps yours is an isolated case

Q: Why can't I copy paste into minecraft?

AnonymousgamerI am trying to get a custom command, but when I copy it, ctrl+v doesn't work! I am using version 1.8.3. Help me please!

@badp I'm assuming it was Windows 10?
unfortunately, all my external monitors nearby use hdmi/dvi to connect and the TV that does have a VGA input is too far for the short cable that I have to reach it
otherwise I'd test multiple monitors with my laptop
(I have 1x hdmi, 1x displayport and 1x vga ports on laptop)

Q: How does damage resistance work?

Mad ScientistArmor provides a certain amount of damage resistance against different types of damage.

What is the formula for the reduction of damage base on the damage resistan...

@Yuuki No kidding
Flipping him over like that
Geez
Bros, man
windows 10 window snap features are either much more amazing than windows 8.1, or I just never messed with it enough before upgrading
it doesn't take half the screen if there's another window already snapped and resized to take more/less than half, so instead the new window takes the remaining space
and it's also possible to snap windows to each corner using 1/4 of the screen each without having to resize anything manually

Q: Can you join multiple factions?

Naftuli Tzvi KaySo far, I've joined the Brotherhood of Steel and the Minutemen. Do these choices prevent me from joining other factions?

17:56
unfortunately, I haven't found a way to snap 3 windows side by side other than "Show all windows side by side"
I suppose the virtual monitors could be used for that kind of funcionality
@Chippies You could do this before afaik
@fredley Idk, I learned to do this immediately after upgrading without looking anything up, and I never knew of such features in Win 8.1, so to me it seems like it's new in win10
I know you could press win +left/right/up to snap to edges
but if you resized the window, I think it undid the snap?
thinking about it now I'm not sure if that was the case
but either way, win+left/right always took half the screen, I'm pretty sure

Welp, apparently a seller won't even consider a lowballed offer.
They're rather picky, for the current market.

I'm thinking, more and more, that Kickstarter is almost completely a scam. With a couple projects here and there that make it.
I'm kinda surprised one I backed in 2012 actually finished and shipped.
@Frank i hope yooka laylee works out
@GodEmperorDune Don't get me wrong; I hope they all work out.
But more and more, you see failed projects.
@Frank A++ Would Hang On Wall
@Sterno Not the response I was expecting, but I'll take it!
22:30
@Frank I think you mean crowdfunding in general, not kickstarter
kickstarter just makes it easier for projects to not deliver
and people to throw money at other people
@Chippies I don't really pay much attention to the other crowdfunding platforms.
I don't hear as much (or anything at all, really), about their projects failing.
@Frank I'm just saying, it's not kickstarter that's flawed, it's crowdfunding in general
@Chippies I'd agree with that.
@Frank well, different types of projects, I guess?
Unless you're actually investing, it tends to be a complete crapshoot.
user15026
22:32
@Frank Because KS is the biggest and thus the loudest and it gets the most attention
kickstarter is the platform for the ambitious projects with high risk factors
user15026
Pretty much
user15026
I kinda think of it like any other gamble
user15026
Because that's really what it is
Most people don't see it as a gamble; they treat it as a pre-order system.

user15026
22:36
There's no guarantees in KS stuff, and people should stop assuming that 100% of the time these crazy ambitious things are totally gonna work.
user15026
There's a good reason I only use it for things I know have some sort of track record (usually webcomic related stuff).
at the same time, there are kickstarters that quietly deliver what they are supposed to and nobody notices because it's not as sexy a headline as "they took all this money and still failed"
It'd help if stretch goals weren't such a prevalent thing.
Or if the funding method wasn't such an, "all or nothing" deal.
user15026
@Frank I don't see how they're inherently bad.
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Pretty much. Every KS I've backed has quietly and happily delivered.
user15026
22:38
@Frank What else could it be, though?
@AshleyNunn They encourage funding for an incomplete goal, in the hopes the stretch goals allow the completion of said product.
@AshleyNunn I wish I knew.
user15026
@Frank Only if people use it incorrectly.
But it encourages proposals to ask for less than they actually need.
@AshleyNunn indiegogo does "pay no matter what" type stuff
i think its a toggle when they create the project
user15026
22:39
@GodEmperorDune Yes, but it still means if it folds you are out of money
user15026
And still without the things
@AshleyNunn Combine it with the all or nothing funding platform, it usually means that projects won't get the funding they actually need to make the actual product.
user15026
@Frank That's not reallya KS problem
user15026
That's people using it incorrectly
@AshleyNunn Which Kickstarter encourages with the all or nothing funding.
user15026
22:40
if you have to ask for stretch goals above your stuff to get the original plan done, that's your lack of planning, not mine.
user15026
@Frank How?
it seems to boil down to "pricing things properly without knowing demand is hard"
user15026
I don't see what one has to do with the other in this case.
@AshleyNunn I can't count how many times I've seen articles about creators admitting they asked for less than they actually needed, to hopefully get SOME funding they needed.
user15026
@Frank That's a problem with the creators, not the KS model
22:41
@AshleyNunn The model is what allows it.
If everyone is misusing the platform, that means the platform has a problem.
@Frank the solution is to cut scope
You can't just assign blame to one area.
It's not just KS' problem, no.
@Frank doesn't it actually prevent it in a way? All or nothing means you either get enough to finish the project (assuming proper planning) or everyone gets their money refunded
One thing I consistently see in kickstarters is people who want to offer a viable product, but get bogged down in all the backer bonus stuff they promised.
@Chippies Or, they lowball what they need, it gets funded, and no one gets anything.

@Frank same thing without all or nothing model though
A little bit of additional vetting would make the problem virtually disappear, I'd bet.
@Chippies Yeah, I don't know the answer. I'm just saying that as it stand, there's a problem.
if the creator lowballs, the all or nothing model doesn't change the outcome
The only KS I backed that went off without a hitch and delivered exactly what I expected was Exploding Kittens.

Q: Is there any way I can do key combos on a steam controller (mac)

JB WarI would really like to be able to do combinations like ctrl+rightarrow and things like that. As a mac user knows, to switch between fullscreen apps (and use mission control), you need to use the trackpad, but there are also some keyboard combinations, including ctrl+rightarrow and ctrl+leftarrow....

Other kickstarters, I'm wondering if my great grandchildren will be able to collect on the item.

Granted, I'm somewhat soured on Kickstarter, due to the shitty experience I've had with Star Command.
reading rainbow kickstarter delivered and was fairly high profile
So I'm probably not the most objective when it comes to Kickstarter.
i think the challenge with these guys is they underestimate pricing and logistics with physical goods
I really think KS should start vetting projects before allowing them to be funded.
Don't have a viable business plan? Go away, and come back when you do.
I've backed a few from the guy who does the SMBC comic. One of his books and where he thought it would be funny to sell 'Gentlemans non-lubricated single use monocle'.
22:48
that would just encourage alternate "less paperwork" crowdfunding sites to take over
Delivered exactly as expected.
@GodEmperorDune It would make KS much more reliable, though.
And be a place where you could actually have a decent chance of getting what you're promised.
@Frank the cynic in me says that they would rather take their cut of projects that fail to deliver than raise the reputation
plus vetting is never 100%
A kickstarter profile for a person should display their win/loss record prominently. :P
@GodEmperorDune Well, yeah. That's why KS is where it is.
@GodEmperorDune It doesn't need to be. You can't guarantee a success.
But you should at least have something that goes, "Yeah, you can't actually deliver a product of this magnitude for this cost."

I never really understood Kickstarter, you have pretty much no rights as a backer. It's not an investment, you don't own anything. I can understand it as a form of patronage, but that doesn't seem how it is commonly used
@MadScientist If I actually had rights as an investor, I would've sued Warballoon for non-deliverance by now.
@MadScientist but you get preorder rewards!
@GodEmperorDune If it ever gets made
@MadScientist caveat emptor

Q: What are the consequences of destroying the USS Constitution?

kalinaI'm on a mission from the navigator of the USS Constitution to get a guidance chip back from some scavengers that stole it, however upon speaking to the scavengers they've presented me with the opportunity to instead attack the USS Constitution and then loot it for scrap, or at least use me to at...

Don't get me wrong; if Star Citizen ever gets finished, I will happily enjoy the crap out of it.
But backing a product sight unseen? Yeah, no. Been there, done that.

Q: Are there ways to get chocolait bars with the computer?

Krazy_JI tried to type " add 10 chocolate bars" in to the computer but it didn't work.

@Lazers2.0 is this guy trying to use the dev console?
@GodEmperorDune I think it's the computer at the end of the game.
I'm back in my hotel room, but now I have to do work. Ugh.

Q: Game Boy Color tag

BorWalI noticed that many Game Boy Color questions fall under game-boy. Shouldn't there be a suite of tags specifically for the Game Boy Color? Specifically game-boy-color, gameboy-color, and gbc.

23:12
I always wonder what goes through someone's head when they read 'Try "help" for a list of available commands", and then don't type "help"
@SepiaLazers a suite of tags? for a platform which hasn't been produced in 10+ years?
23:39
how it feels to rule: not this
@badp that shield is too small to offer much protection
@GodEmperorDune I guess that if you already know where you're gonna get hit

Q: How to install minecraft mod packs

Kartik PillaiI recently had downloaded a minecraft mod pack from curse.com, and I have no idea how to install the mod pack. I tried MC Patcher but that didn't seemed to work. Also the mod pack only supports minecraft 1.7.10 . So can anyone help with the installation of modpacks for minecraft.
