We all know how painful it can be rerolling over and over, so why not share some good maps?

Please post a description/screenshot of the settings/map along with the string.

Hopefully there will be a community map post in a few days, but until then, we can pool our dice!

###Use backticks (`string goes here`) around the string so its formatting isn't lost.

tl;dr: More realistic spawn placement and biter aggression makes the game more interesting.

Reading about victory poles right before playing through my first freeplay game inspired me to go around placing them everywhere I could, even between biter bases fairly far from my factory.

Once I finally got around to clearing those spawns, this left me with a huge area free from spawns and thus a complete end of attacks--present and future. Victory poles allow you to create a permanent, virtual bubble around your factory (larger than the pollution cloud) and that just feels wrong. Spawners don't creep in, and since biters won't attack from afar unless pollution hits them, it's a cheap yet ine

Usually the left click button is fluid with a solid trigger point and gives just the right amount of resistance in its motion, but sometimes it gets stuck and clunky/loud in its travel.

Has anyone else seen this? Any solutions?

Anyone else having this issue, particularly in Firefox (even with hardware acceleration disabled, which saves Firefox from crashing but doesn't prevent the driver hiccup)?

I've tried several driver versions with no improvement.

Update: Seems this might be Transcend-specific issue. Consider yourself warned.

Update2: This seems to fix it: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds037308

Update 3: Okay, I have no idea how I missed that link's intended hardware, and almost wonder if it changed since I viewed it last, but I stand by it seeming to have fixed the problem...

Update 4: Experiencing issues again after running Windows Update. Good grief.

I upgraded my base model 450s running Win8.1 with more RAM (which tests fine) and http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-MTS400-Solid-State-TS256GMTS400/dp/B00KLTPUG4/

It works really well, and having the 500 GB HDD for internal backup/bulk storage should be helpful, but I'm

I've been looking at various options for getting a new Thinkpad and decided that the T450s best fits my needs. The plan is to get it with 1080p non-touch, 4 GB of RAM, and the HDD, then buy a 256 GB M.2 SSD (for booting, no worries on the write speed loss) and 8 GB of RAM to save money and get a ton of memory. This is assuming the loss of dual channel for the last 4 GB of RAM is a triviality.

But I'm still wondering about a few things.

With the Intel HD 5500, is it capable of driving two external displays while the internal is active? The HD 4000 on the Twist disabled the built-in screen when both video outputs were used, but I know there has been progress since then.

I've read posts on h

While attempting a crude landing on Kerbin with a rocket a bit too large for the single parachute, I noticed that the parachute disappears as soon as you hit 0 m/s--even before landing. That happened accidentally because I was trying to slow my fall before impact.

Instead of giving a grace period, the parachute disappeared and caused me to have a bit of a crash landing. Wouldn't it be more realistic to have it 'catch up' with the craft after a brief time, becoming truly useless, before disappearing? It only caused a loss of an engine and one fuel tank this time, but if I'd been higher up. . .

This is a fairly small and avoidable problem, but still bothered me enough to post here--especiall

Edit: Resolved!

Does this gesture work everywhere on the left edge, or do you always have to start somewhere near or above the halfway point on the left edge for it to work?

:: Wondering if experiencing defective behavior on my Win8 device... On the 'default' left side, you have to start about 2/3 of the way up. On the upside-down (screen rotated) left side, you can be a little under halfway up and still trigger it. Seems like it should be more consistent, and maybe handle the entire edge?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Went and did some additional research. Turns out it's possible to have the screen mis-calibrated to the point where edge swipes stop working. Resetting the (apparently faul

I don't have a Surface (yet?) but while playing around with one in the store yesterday, I found that Firefox worked pretty well with these extensions installed:

For better scrolling: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/grab-and-drag/

For easy navigation and very flexible gesture scripting: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/firegestures/

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to test the stylus... Given that it has a right-click button to trigger gesturing (by default; I used press-and-hold to use touch for testing it...), the stylus would probably work wonders.

Any other ideas out there for people who want to stick with Firefox in spite of it all?
