Chapter 503 What to do if there are too few resources
On the way back to the dormitory, Zhuge Jun still felt a little aggrieved.
"No, why!"
When I think about my gaming experience today, I feel a little angry.
Of course, this kind of fire mainly comes from the final ending. It is clear that the resources are released and you can have fun as you like, but the game insists on not letting you play it at the end. Who can stop this!
But having said that, the previous game content actually played a role in fueling the flames.
“I don’t understand why Nitiantian has such a design. It stands to reason that most similar games would have to leave an option of resource abundance at the beginning, right?
"Not only does Nitiantian not have this option, but it also directly blocked the game later. Doesn't that mean that players can only play it on Sosou Di?
"That's unreasonable!"
The more Zhuge Jun thought about it, the angrier he became.
Because other similar games often have settings that adjust the abundance of resources from the beginning.
If an expert wants to challenge himself, he can reduce the resource richness to the lowest level; while a novice player is too lazy to calculate so many resources, so he can just open unlimited resources and open up the building anyway.
But "Star Project" obviously did not have this option from the beginning. For any player, the initial resources are fixed.
Resource slots randomly distributed on the map.
Zhuge Jun wanted to ask this question at the beginning, but after thinking about it, maybe it was just like those difficult action games. It was because the numerical system was better, so he deliberately put everyone on the same level at the beginning?
Maybe after the game is completed, there will be a mode for players to enjoy, right?
But now he has determined, no, not at all!
In this way, Zhuge Jun looked at the whole process of the game and suddenly realized that this game is really not very enjoyable?
It can even be said to be quite torture.
I didn't pay attention when I was playing, but I just realized it now.
A large part of this torture comes from the lack of resources, and we have to constrain our hands in construction. You can endure it during the land reclamation period, but if you continue to endure it after passing the level, and you will never see the light of day, then it will be a bit unbearable.
Can't everyone open up unlimited resources and play, right?
Although official cheating and personal cheating are both cheating, for most players, there is an essential difference between the two.
"Let's see what everyone says."
Zhuge Jun checked the players' comments on his mobile phone.
Sure enough, although the reviews on the platform are pretty good and are still "mostly positive" at present, the reputation of the first batch of players has fallen a bit.
Obviously, the players who initially gave positive reviews had not played the game for a long time. After they first entered the game, they saw the exquisite graphics and details, coupled with their trust in Nitiantian Games, and immediately gave positive reviews.
But after playing for a day, many players have come back to think about it.
In addition to the discussions related to "Oath of Luoshui", the most representative comments from players also focus on the unreasonable resource allocation of this game.
"I think the resource setting of "Star Project" is really unreasonable. Simply put, there are too few!
“The official may use this setting to force players’ level down, or to reflect the difficulty of the game itself, just like action games like “Ascension” do not set difficulty levels.
"But this is a business simulation game after all, and the experience is different from that of action games!"
This statement is echoed by many players.
Action games do not provide difficulty adjustment options. Although it is not very user-friendly, most players will gradually get used to it.
Because the difficulty is higher, players' pleasure in defeating the boss will be greatly increased, and it can even become a topic of conversation.
But business simulation games are different. With fewer resources, players’ pleasure in building a city will not increase, but will decrease!
After all, no one would brag, "I built the first construction plant in XX minutes" or "I set up a production line with the minimum resources."
The biggest joy of business simulation games is to build a majestic city like a wonder.
But this goal is very inconsistent with the current situation of scarcity of resources.
Is it really necessary to open an infinite resource hook?
Or make a mod?
Or are you looking forward to some magical bug in the game to unlock the infinite resource mode?
It doesn't sound very exciting.
Zhuge Jun returned to the dormitory, tidied up a little and got ready for bed.
Before going to bed, I randomly clicked on the live broadcast website, hoping to find a live broadcast of "Star Project" to hypnotize me.
"Huh? Chen Tingquan is still on the air. Let's see how he plays."
However, as soon as Zhuge Jun clicked on Chen Tingquan's live broadcast room, he heard a loud voice, which almost frightened him so much that he dropped his phone.
Fortunately, the lights in the dormitory had just been turned off at this time, and no one else was asleep, otherwise a severe beating would have been inevitable.
"They say Project Star is difficult? There are very few resources? Let's see what happens!"
Zhuge Jun quickly turned down the volume on his phone, and then looked carefully at the name of the live broadcast room.
That's right, it's Chen Tingquan's live broadcast room?
Why was it replaced?
Looking more closely, I discovered that it was Chen Tingquan who was playing a game with another anchor, so he was blocked.
The name of the other anchor is "Park Director". Judging from his self-introduction, he seems to be a player who is keen on playing business simulation games.
Although the number of fans is not very large at present, the stickiness of these fans seems to be pretty good and their opinions are relatively positive.
"When the director comes, there will be blue sky!"
"One minute of silence for the silicon-based people."
"Is the park going to be on the comet? Looking forward to it! Hurry up, I can't wait!"
Zhuge Jun watched for a while and found that the anchor called the park supervisor had said that he would start live broadcasting "Star Plan" during the day, but he didn't start broadcasting during the day because of other things.
It was not until around 11 o'clock that the broadcast started. In order to compensate the audience, he promised to broadcast for a while longer today.
It happened that Chen Tingquan was not off the air at this time, so the two planned to play together.
Chen Tingquan already had some game experience and played the role of the head of state, while the park supervisor played for the first time, but he was a veteran in similar games, so he naturally played the role of the governor.
The audience was quite looking forward to it.
Zhuge Jun was a little disapproving. He was just an anchor, what tricks could he play?
The resources in "Star Plan" were all limited. Many experienced players tried on the first day, but they failed to solve this problem.
Zhuge Jun felt that this park supervisor probably couldn't do it either.
…
"Brother Yuan, let me tell you, this game is different from other simulation business games. The resources in the early stage are very few!
"I have played two games before, and I couldn't play because of too few resources. You have to be careful.
"As the head of state, I will set a lower development goal first."
Chen Tingquan said as he began to formulate a development plan.
The park manager was learning the basic operation of the game while planning and building.
"Okay, I understand. I will study it first.
"The first industrial zone and residential area... have it, just build it like this."
The park manager began his own operation.
When Chen Tingquan finished his work and took a look, he was shocked on the spot.
"Hey! Brother Yuan, why did you build it like this?"
The park manager was speechless: "What do you mean I am so mean? Brother Chen, why are you attacking me personally?"
Chen Tingquan hurriedly explained: "No, I mean, you can't build it like this! ”
Park Supervisor: “…”
Chen Tingquan found that he was getting more and more smeared, so he had to continue to explain: “No, I mean, there is a big problem with the placement of these two buildings!
“Brother Yuan, look, there is nothing wrong with building this mining site here, including the smelter and manufacturing plant behind, these are not a big problem, after all, it is an industrial zone.
“But Brother Yuan, why did you shoot a residential unit so early? And shot it next to the smelter?
“There is no need to build this thing so early. These silicon-based people can go to the Executive Office to rest in the early stage.”
After all, Chen Tingquan has played two games, and he is still very clear about some basic opening methods.
The park supervisor made two mistakes at the beginning of this time, of course, these two mistakes can be attributed to the residential unit.
The so-called residential unit can be understood as a residential building, which is a place for silicon-based people to live.
In the game "Star Plan", there is no need to build residential units at the beginning, because the Executive Office, as a very large initial building, has the ability to carry a certain population.
Before the population limit of the Administrative Office is reached, there is no need to build additional residential units.
Not only that, the Administrative Office has some features, one of which is that it can purify all pollution inside.
But residential units cannot do this, and special purification equipment must be equipped.
So what is the use of purifying pollution?
The silicon-based people in this game also have a lifespan, and the pollution generated during the smelting and processing of minerals will cause them to contract some chronic diseases, thereby reducing their lifespan.
Therefore, most players will do this:
At the beginning, do not build residential units, let these silicon-based people live in the Administrative Office; when the population increases, choose an upwind outlet far away from the industrial area to build a residential area, that is, a cluster of a large number of residential units.
In this way, even if purification equipment is not built, the health of these silicon-based people can be roughly guaranteed.
If the residential area is built close to the industrial area, purification equipment must be built, which is an additional expense and is very uneconomical.
Therefore, in Chen Tingquan's view, this operation of the park manager has a big problem.
But the first residential unit has already been taken down, and demolition now will take up some manpower and lose some resources, which is a bit uncomfortable in the early stage.
However, the park manager didn't care: "Brother Chen, are you the executive officer or am I the executive officer?
"Just listen to me, it's for sure, I built it here on purpose."
Chen Tingquan was stunned: "Built it here on purpose?"
This is indeed a bit difficult to understand.
