You mean anticipation? 

[Broseph Stalin]

It's a specific flavor of anticipation. I call it the Update Effect a name I personally invented after discovering Chapel Comic already calling it that.

Isn't the Minecraft modding scene practically dead?

Anyone have a mod to disable breach axe raiders? After some more thorough experience in dealing with them, they're just... idiotic? I don't know how else to describe them. One guy can take down a limestone wall in a few seconds. They prioritize destroying things over anything else. It's insane. If you don't immediately find them they will dig a hole through literally any form of obstacle. Just feels like they were made out of spite for killboxes than actual game design. Sure, one guy with a breach axe can be killed easily but that's never it. Chances are you get a few breach axe raiders deleting your walls while everyone else is shooting at you, making any attempt at actually stopping them next to fruitless unless you feel like suiciding a couple of colonists.

I haven't seen the mechanoids' version of breach axes but based on what I've heard I'm not looking forward to it.

It is, but they did it to themselves.

Also no it very much is not. Minecraft modding is definitely still a thing. Looks to me like it's not exactly at its heyday but there is still a very active Minecraft modding scene.

It's a lot of porting old mods to the current version and modpacks of existing mods. That's most of the modding scene. Much of the only other activity is people making alternatives to existing 1.12 mods that haven't been ported forward. Tinkers has a replacement.

I've played about all I can without mods, am gonna until like mid-august before I load up on mods like I did with 1.2 and play, i think. Don't wanna burn out before I can even see mod stuff with the new systems

I'm looking forward to Save Our Ship 2 updating, it always gives me something to strive towards late-game.

Back into the game, doing my usual thing of cycling through various forts for a few hours at a time while I settle on something fun.  The most successful fort I've had was a mountain fort, so I think I'll do that again, turned off bugs because fuck that shit.  Undergrounder Raiders, serpent cult.

A lot of awkward features though, stuff that makes the game even more annoying getting started.  Diversity of thought is especially irritating, getting an anti-diversity recruit is an absolute nightmare early on and generally feels awkward, when you've saved someone's life and offered to let them live in your base but they're constantly pissed that everything isn't exactly how they want it.  Ideology adds even more potential bad thoughts about this.

In general I like the flavor it adds though, just some things that need ironing out.

I can't help being a dwarf and making underground bases. Playing transhumanists is fun. I can't help but think Tynan caters to the genocide crowd a lot with this update, what with all the stuff having to do with slavery, cannibalism and so forth. Options to be nice to people are severely lacking. I'm horrible like that, I can't help but be nice to digital people, I'll start feeling bad if I'm a baddie.

On the other hand, killing pirates is all the more fun knowing that they are cannibalistic monsters.

[Grim Portent]

So far I've been finding the best way to deal with recruits with a different ideoligion is to just lock them up and forcibly convert them before releasing them back into the colony. Or enslaving them, depending on stats and if my cult likes slavery or not. I've lost a couple to prison break events that went bad, but it's still preferable to having someone having mental breaks all the time because they haven't eaten human meat for ages or because my colonists eat human meat and they don't.

I'd like friendly conversion to be a bit easier, instead of encouraging more mental breaks. As is getting a moral guide to convert people is a waste of time and the ritual of conversion hasn't proven particularly useful to me.

I am also finding it a bit annoying when pawns show up to my colony with their eyes gouged out. The Blindsight meme would probably have worked better if it was something only important pawns did, like the moral guide and leader, rather than 2/3 pawns of those ideologies being blinded.

Save Our Ship 2 is updated! Woo!
