With the news today/yesterday that Sony is ending all future disc production for Playstation consoles and also closing the PS Vita and PS3 online stores it, companies like Modretro become all the more important. Companies that value physical game releases.

Personally I'm not going to ever buy a Playstation device again for the rest of my life.

I want to stay on the previous game version for now as there's a bunch of breaking changes, but there doesn't seem to be an option to do so.

It’s literally launch pad surgery.

This was all in reply to this comment:

Main thing is I want to avoid the liquid drip pumps that I've seen people using as they feel like cheezed game mechanics so I'm usually against it. Is there a way to cool the steam so rapidly that it can't over pressurize? My cool steam vent outputs 6799.6 g/s of steam at 210C when its active and fully geotuned.

Ideally the thing would produce more power out than it consumes in aquatuners too.

I built my sleet wheat farm based on studying the thermal conductivity page on the wiki. I feed superheated water that is used to cool the farm coolant into the hydroponic farms in order to use it as a heat destruction method. However vastly more heat than expected is being transferred to and from the hydroponic farm tiles to the surrounding air and to the plants than expected.

In the equations section it lists the heat transfer between a building and a building's contents as "N/A" (see the table titled "Equations" and the "Building ↔ building contents" entry) however watching and isolating a farm tile I can see the temperature of the water stored inside the farm tile gradually fall at high game speed. By what method exactly is the water in the farm tile conducting heat away?

> > Eehh kinda. If you don't mind your sprites being smeared like Vaseline and boogers across the wall.
Considering it didn't seem like you could turn off the horrendously aggressive bilinear filtering, probably not a good idea. Few want to see a snot smeared Street Fighter Alpha

Edit: Adding on John Carmack's reply as well that Palmer reposted

> Yeah, just doing 60 fps 2D games with subpixel filtering, blending, scaling, rotation, and no hard tile boundaries would have allowed some very strong new designs.
