Might look at Oolite for a free lower spec alternative to Elite, if that's your jam. Plenty of mods to work with as well.

If you liked Elite, you should check out Oolite [1] too. FOSS, lots of mods.

I was surprised, when I started recording videos for Oolite, by how many people were desperate for Oolite videos.

Many, many hours playing this one to death. And the C64 version before it, and the BBC versions (tape and disk) at my friends houses. And Oolite on the Mac. And I'm a founder backer of Elite Dangerous. And...and...

In addition to the other great recommendations on here, Oolite might also be worth a try. It's free and has tons of expansions modify your experience.

Hmm, I guess that's one way to look at it. ED is all about the freedom of choice, after all. Though I still think OP's idea is interesting. Before playing ED, I've been playing Oolite for some time, and you can actually jump into the wakes left by the ships. So, to see this (or similar) mechanic in ED would be interesting.

Strong nostalgia whenever I see the BBC Elite opening screen!

These days we can re-live it easily in the browser: https://bbc.godbolt.org/?autoboot&disc=sth%3AAcornsoft%2FEli... Although I can also recommend "oolite": http://www.oolite.org/ which is an open source modernised elite with game play kept quite faithful to the original (I'm currently hooked on this and wasting more my life trying to get that "Elite" rating all over again)

And that sucks! I really wish being Huge (or Tiny, but I haven't tried that personally) felt more distinct than it does. You really shouldn't be able to operate holdout pistols, but you should be able to stuff a thanksgiving turkey in your coat pocket.

If you look in the jmath.json file (https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/data/mods/MindOverMatter/jmath.json) under the matrix awakening odds and portal storm awakening odds, change the Return to "return": "0 * _0". That should set the odds of awakening to 100% regardless of how many paths you have.

Are you sure? I checked the initial PR and couldn't find any mention of an anvil, and I checked the current files, and also couldn't find any mention of an anvil.

There is not, but it was mentioned as a desired feature in the original PR introducing Electrokinesis so it will hopefully be added eventually.

Must be the newest experimental. Static hordes were added back to worldgen, the hordes option now only toggles dynamic hordes.

It currently works as of: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/releases/tag/cdda-experimental-2023-12-09-0323

[default 3D field of view was reverted|https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/69940] because there were some bugs in the tests due to it

That said, I recommend Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, which offers something like this.

Each power has a different set of thresholds leading into different powers. You can check the JSON files for each class on github to see which powers lead into eachother at what level.

Yeah, I ran into a similar issue working on craftable bone spike spears. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/57447 There is some decent research on the topic but it’s not open access which didn’t leave me with evidence to support my argument besides basically metadata. For the record I think this is reasonable, it’s just frustratingly difficult to find accessible modern research on these interesting topics
