[quote who="kingmorgan" reply="9" id="3622184"] Toggling the buildings menu off is not possible, it's far too cluttered with it on, can that be changed please. [/quote] It is possible! Go under the options menu under the main screen and there's a check box for it now to start with it closed. Back to the original thread.

=) See 2 threads lower than yours. Me, Hydro, and DT are having the same issue which has so far inhibited me from climbing back on top of the leaderboard. Do you remember who your opponents were at the time or were they all different people? DT and I have noticed a recurrence when we play one particular individual. https://forums.offworldgame.com/475568/page/1/#3621570
Still happening to me and other people. I sent you the log Soren. Also had twice where i was playing mid game and for no reason it suddenly just cuts out and takes you back to the menu. It doesn't count it as a win or a loss. It just ends the game abruptly (no pink slip) and puts you to the menu. I saw this happen to deathtacticus earlier too and hydroponos also reported the same thing today. Let me know if you need anything else.
Beta 10 quickmatch is broken ATM. When you start and it finds you a match it kicks you back out to the lobby. Watching DT's stream he kept getting kicked out over and over again. There was also an instance where his QM ended early and kicked him into the lobby mid-game too. No idea if that resulted in a loss or not. =( One other thing. As of yesterday lobbies in beta 10 were not showing up in the list of available lobbies. Only way we could play was by exiting
You can press the tab key to toggle between the different HQ's (and the colony) in the game. That's the easiest way to see where things are coming from because it'll put handy little resource lines up on the screen for you to follow. There's no single button to toggle between different building types. More importantly though it's better not to locate buildings away from your headquarters. Locate them adjacent to your HQ so you'll have instant access to th

Seeing as my background is in economics as well I understood everything you said. I also still don't agree. =) The suggestion is trading what you feel is a laborious process of clicking to sell resources to a process of clicking to turn on and off buildings or destroying them and see the price effects on supply and demand. You're trading one click for another only the process you're describing costs money to do. Turning on and off power or destroying power plants to optimi

Generally it's a pretty weak BM item with the exception of late game because of what else you could be doing with your money. Mules end up being a good BM purchase when all the other better BM items are more expensive. I'd love to see statistics on
[quote who="Offworld_Blues" reply="1" id="3618932"] To clarify, the Hide Build Menu option does work correctly, hiding the menu at the beginning of the game and allowing it to be toggled if desired. With that option off, however, the menu pops up after founding and can't be toggled at all. [/quote] Thanks Blues. Didn't notice this was an option. Also thanks for the clarification of what I was trying to explain.
Pretty straightforward. Right now the build menu starts open from when you found and you can't close it if you click the little tool button in beta 10. It stays open all game and makes the text for solar flares and dust storms blend in. As an aside I wouldn't mind that this menu be closed to start the game (or be an option to start with it closed) but I understand why it's open to help new players.
Interesting idea! I'd be afraid that it might be confusing for new players to figure this one out and might make PD's a little too complicated. Right now new players don't build PD's as it is and they simply give you straight cash.
I was in both games and had really weird stuff start happening. All of a sudden my screen would scroll to the far left corner. At first I thought something was wrong with my mouse or keyboard but nope. I would scroll back to my base (which was to the right) and it would go back to the left immediately. Someone else had this happen too in the 2nd game. Other weird thing to note was that the keyboard stopped responding so I couldn't escape or get to the main menu. The game would

That has helped tremendously in solving misclicks and bad spontaneous decisions. Honestly I don't think a time limit on refunding claims is necessary at the moment. If someone is willing to waste a dead tile to reserve something than so be it. You're lo

[quote who="Veivi" reply="27" id="3616642"] I'd actually be interested to see some kind of extremely lopsided maps, where there is one god-location, and play a series of games to see what amount of debt is it still winnable at when founding first.

My glass was way more valuable than my iron. there were 2 other iron tiles that could have easily been taken not to mention slant drilling if necessary. Or you just hack down iron. There are ways around that. Iron was $7 when we stalled out. It never got above $35. Who cares if it gets nuked if glass is making you +$200/second.
All analysis aside...I love how 2 players can look at map generation and see either a problem or a solution depending on their perspective. Awful maps force you to make tradeoffs and make the game unique. You never quite know how to value things and that makes it fun and exciting. It's all based on how well you play things out. Did I take on too much debt with that found? Will he be able to expand first and take all the tiles I was counting on (say by founding robo

Hey all. I just figured I would start a thread for fun as an open dialogue about the 3 matches from round 1. Oftentimes as a spectator I've watched a match and thought WTF were they thinking especially since commentators typically have really good insight and advice on things that might not be apparent to the players (or are but they choose to ignore it). I don't know if this is interesting or not but figured I'd put it out there and let everyone decide. Feel free to as
[quote who="Jaiwera" reply="1" id="3616477"] 30 milliseconds? In the first match, I felt that both of you deserved to lose completely because you founded so late, it was such a horrific start. 21k debt and 1 claim trade for a vastly superior position? You're willing to pay 20k debt for a new claim, and an extra tile at level 1 is worth ten times as much as an extra tile at level 5, so how much is that founding position worth?

Ok it's official. Galactic Wino vs Blackmagic going on in 10 minutes at 10:30 eastern. PB is doing commentary. Sorry for the late update!
[quote who="GalacticWino" reply="8" id="3616391"] Magic, i'd rather play this weekend. I can stream at 720p. [/quote] Soren said he wanted us to get the matches done by friday at the latest so he could get round 2 in this weekend. Is that possible for you at all? I *might* be able to do thursday night as well but can definitely do tonight or tomorrow night. If at all possible I'd love to schedule with zultar to do commentary. I love watching them back later
Just to clarify rules if i remember correctly from last 1v1: we're playing a small map and not a tiny map for the match with reveal map on correct?
Wino when are you free? I can ask zultar's schedule to see if he can stream. I'm free from 8-11 Eastern tonight and tomorrow night if you're available. I'd stream but apparently my computer is slow enough to only get 240p resolution which is awful.
