It sounds like a wonderful idea, a little golem just handily sorting stuff for you. The details make it sound less exciting. Still, I wonder what people might do with multiple golems and stacked chests, and all that.

Exactly! I can't wait to see how it functions

Copper chests and golem = new sorting systems?

MMOs / Dune Awakening

Last post by Melbosa - June 28, 2025, 10:53:39 AM

Was talking with @Mr. Analog about this one. A group I play with has a private server going if anyone is interested in playing the game with no griefing. The game is very well made, and other than the private server costs, there isn't a monthly subscription to play like most MMOs.

This is a survival game set in an alternate timeline of dune where Paul Atriedies isn't born and the hosts are both still at full strength. The Freman have been "wiped" out by the emperor, but there is more to the story.

Anyway you can play this game mostly solo and the PvP stuff is optional.

So if you are interested let me know and I can get you the details.

So do we need to grind a mob farm for one when this update drops?

Feel like I need this to play automatically when pressing a button at a chicken auto cooker stand.

Windows 8 because the laptop is ancient, it's a spare that I was happy to get Handbrake working on it. I wouldn't have it Always On, would just be a thing where in the evening instead of surfing YouTube or AppleTV or whatever I decide to start it up to finally watch one of the couple dozen movies that I ripped when I finally got the title from EPL ling waiting list -- but then didn't have time to watch before having to return 🤦�♂️

Angst Technology -- remember that classic web comic[**]? So good. Golden age of the interwebs.


In this recent City Of Heroes video, at 1:29:36 the "InkTank" artist Barry Smith explains ( @ 1:29:36 ) how COH died and then came back 😎
