This is vanilla behavior. To my knowledge, the only change FC has made to the sugarcane block is allowing it to be placed diagonally from water instead of having to be at the water's edge.

Steam's Halloween sale is going on right now. Haven't gone looking into everything that's on sale, but one game I feel is of note: Clandestine - 80% off down to $3.99. It's a stealth/hacking co-op game where one person plays the spy on the ground and the other plays the hacker supporting her, althou...

This update is pretty much what I was hoping for when I got Stellaris. About the only thing left for me is to decide whether I want to pick up a couple of the existing gameplay DLCs in the current sale or wait for Apocalypse.

The ability to rename things, like in a vMC dead weight. Why? Seriously. I've never understood that feature or the desire for it. The only thing I can see it being useful for is labeling chests - one of the 1.5 snapshots made it so that custom-named chests will retain that name as their container l...

On which game? You quoted a sentence in which two are listed :) Pretty sure he's referring to Stellaris. They've talked about how the next update changes the FTL (everyone uses hyperlanes with the other types being repurposed), how you claim a system (have to build an outpost in each desired system...

Fallout 4 is 50% off in the autumn sale - $15 for the base game or $30 for the GOTY package.

Pokemon Crystal: probably my favorite portable game. There were a bunch of cool features in it - the legendary dogs that travel around Johto, the specialized Pokeballs, going back to the Kanto region and challenging the leaders from gen 1, the night/day system, etc. Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 and 2: Chr...

From what I understand, the earlier versions had randomly-generated terrain, but it's definitely a static map now. There's maps of the world and lists of where you can find the things you need to unlock new blueprints. I had assumed the stutter was due to garbage collection, but sound loading would ...

There is a goal - get yourself off the planet. However, I'm not sure if the ending was implemented in the feature-complete update or if they're waiting for the full release in two months.

By discussions on the IRC/Discord/Telegram, from the best of my knowledge it follows n(n-1), not n!. That'd give: 2 animals = 40 cps 3 animals = 120 cps 4 animals = 240 cps 5 animals = 400 cps 20 animals = 7600 cps Not as bad as n! would be, but still not something you would want to put your compute...

Here's a few, pulling from memory: Dresden Files : Modern fantasy following a wizard who works as a detective in Chicago. They're decent, although I can't help but feel like Dresden is written as if he were a horny teenager instead of someone in his mid 20s-late 30s (depending on the book). Discworl...

They're no longer craftable, you must trade with villagers for them.

I feel like the WASDIO would give you the same issues you said you had when using a flight stick. Another option might be more along the lines of the G13 (NOT the similar Razer products, since they only have a d-pad whereas the G13's stick is analog), where you can use the rest of your fingers to pu...

I only use my other peripherals when the M&KB controls are bad, usually a case of a bad console port - for example the driving and flying controls in GTA5 are awful, so I switched to the 360 pad when I had to use a car/plane/helicopter/etc and switch back to my M&KB for on-foot. Since I use ...

Figured I'd drop an update to my thoughts, now that I've been able to play a bit of Stellaris. It starts off strong with the early game - it's fun to go looking for new places to expand and meet the neighbors, and the anomalies add a fair bit of character. However, by midgame you're not doing much o...

Mouse and Keyboard: I have a G15 keyboard, which works quite well. My MX518 mouse also worked very well, until the cable started to intermittently fail on me. I replaced it with a Deathadder, but it's awful in comparison - no on-the-fly DPI changing makes it difficult to switch tasks, and being requ...

I've played both Civ6 and Endless Legend. Civ6: Since you can only have one military unit per tile, in the midgame you'll have to decide whether it's more important to have a more powerful unit or the extra pressure from things like flanking bonuses. Lategame, it shouldn't matter because you'll have...

Nothing really grabbed my attention, but at least Devolver's press conference was entertaining.

A headless server will pause the game when nobody's connected. I haven't played the multiplayer since it was first introduced, but even then it was pretty solid - the game is pretty deterministic, so desync was fairly uncommon and the big issue we found was that the server could only send the map to...

I haven't followed that project in a long while, but after a bit of searching, it looks like most of them were former modders that Squad had hired on. Hopefully Valve will treat them better than Squad did, assuming that the company hasn't improved since last year.

I've been listening to Don't Get Your Hopes Up. It's usually gaming-related, but they do talk about other things as well.

To add onto Daisjun's info: Stardew Valley isn't quite as good as Harvest Moon, but I haven't found anything better in that genre on PC. World of Goo and Super Hexagon are fun timewasters, although I personally prefer playing them on mobile. The Stanley Parable is... interesting. I've heard glowing ...

The "What links here" tool in the sidebar is a great way to see related pages; for example, you can see that the page for bark is linked to from the page for tanned leather.

There's stuff like Roll20 and Tabletop Simulator that allow you to play that kind of stuff online - Roll20 is basically designed around dice-based RPGs with the rolls being handled through chat commands and macros to make it simpler, and Tabletop Simulator is a much more physics-based environment, w...

Rogue System is currently on sale. It's basically the DCS of space sims, and the sale price right now is probably as low as it'll go, seeing as how they originally had a deal where you could pay $10 for just the early access and later pay the difference to get the full game when it comes out. Stand...
