for the cdda algorithm day 8

[@amirooorandomgames]

I wanted to test this game again and I decided to go super easy by reducing the spawn to 0.01 to the point that a small town had only around 5 zombies. However, the spawn rate parameter seems to not work for some POIs! I noticed a large school with suspiciously 6 zombies in front of it. I said maybe that's an important POI or I was unlucky to see 6 zombies in front of it but the building had around 70+ zombies in it! They killed me and my NPC friend so fast, they were jumping out of windows and open spaces from top floors like crazy! I guess they forgot spawn rate parameter for schools!

[@Vormithrax]

Pretty sure POI specific spawns are not adjusted by the spawn rate setting which i believe just controls the quantity of 'random' zombies out in the streets and countryside.

[@amirooorandomgames]

@@Vormithrax You are right. I didn't pay attention that school is not part of a city. For my case it was pretty close to a city, but school is not a common city POI like homes and shops. However, spawn rate parameter works for something like corpse piles with gas masks.

man this is great

[@Mirvra]

Might be a bit late and I'm unsure if you've already done this since I've skimmed the video at parts: You can disable the withdrawls interupting you constantly during crafting and such, just hit ESC, go to distractions manager, and then disable withdrawls.

[@Vormithrax]

Pretty sure i've already done that by this episode. I mumbled fairly early in the run that i could turn them off. distractions manager was in game prior to my break. I kept it on for awhile on purpose just to get a 'feel' for the message/interrupts procedures/timing again.

Algorithm doing something

[@Catman_CM]

That's a lot of guns!

[@publiusquinctiliusvarus8886]

All the cdda! You tube algorithm bump this vorm master piece!!

[@or0chimau]

May there be more cdda

[@zaphhood4745]

I named a Rimworld behemoth Vormithrax. It's a good dragon. I hope you don't mind.

[@Vormithrax]

Given that my name is derived from 'Vermithrax Pejorative' (the dragon in the movie 'Dragonslayer') i think that's fairly appropriate.

[@Catman_CM]

This is starting to become a pattern, but here's another random KZbin question for you, Vorm: Would you be willing to share how long you wait after posting a video before you gauge how well it did? To be more direct to my own situation, I couldn't get around to watching this specific video until the day after it was posted. Was watching it now still within that grace period before you decide that any other views are from random recommendations rather than subs like me looking to encourage more CDDA content?

[@Vormithrax]

I don't really check things to that level of granularity. I just check the general view counts over several episodes to get a feel for trend. How quickly the view counts drop as episodes progress give me a pretty good indication. The first episode of a 'new' game almost always has fairly high viewership as people are curious. But if the view count drops 80% for the 2nd episode and the average watch time is 6 minutes for a 1 hour video then i pretty much know there is no point in continuing a series. Typically my livestreams are 4 hours which i send to KZbin in 1 hour daily releases. By the time the 4th episode airs i usually have enough 'trend data' to make a decision.

cool game

[@kareningram6093]

You gonna make a white russian for your dude?

[@clem2526]
