I'm getting PTSD from reading about the spiders. Fuckers attack so fast and hard and are so hard to hit. They have been the cause of many loaded games.

I hope I will be able to spam armies of horrors even harder than LA Ulm in the next version.

Ah yes I am at a shop. I mean when I go to purchase something I press Enter and it highlights it, but I don't see a way to finalize the purchase?

Already stuck :(

How do I buy things? Also, any recommendations on what to do first?

I'm not aware of anything like that. URR is a long road from being complete still.

Huh, the webpage says:

The latest major releases, 0.9 and 0.10, introduce currencies, procedurally-generated items, trade, and ship-board travel. 1.0 is coming soon - watch this space!

But hey, hearing that is good enough for me to download it :)

I wanted to try this game but I read that the complete version is coming out soon? Does anyone know when that would be? Days? Months?

I've always hesitated getting far enough into this game to have actual combat because as I design ships I start to realize that the max range is dictated by the firing system, who's range is very small compared to the weapons. So it feels like all weapons are going to be the same and all battles will be fought at that max distance (bar the really close range weapon who's name I forget.)

Could someone confirm or deny this?

I'm playing Songs of Syx. It's like Stronghold on crack.

I'm fine with some types of ships just being objectively better than others. I actually expected High-Tech to be that. Why wouldn't more technology lead to stronger ships, right? I just need a reason that they are better, and a barrier to those ships to make it feel like progression. Maybe some unique downsides or requiring a certain economy.

I think Switzerland has plenty of people with guns, and they manage to not have constant shootings. It would be enough to treat guns like another very dangerous object everyone gets to have. A car. Require training, licenses, insurance, etc.

I specifically remember Maine not having red flag laws, so I read the law in the wiki and it seems that it only applies to people taken into protective custody after a psychiatric evaluation, and is not an actual red flag law.

It doesn't matter how confident their hatred is. Just like it doesn't matter that the people committing hate crimes on random Jewish people around the world think they are justified because a country thousands of miles away that had a majority Jewish population committed warcrimes. They attacked someone because of immutable traits, not actions. A person cannot do anything about their immutable traits (hence the word, immutable), but someone can do something about their actions. And these two things must be treated differently. That's why we have a special category in law called hate crimes. The groups protected under hate crimes specifically have immutable traits (except religion but that's a whole other can of worms). We don't have hate crime laws protecting people with political opinions. Therefore someone who assaults a black person because they are black should get a heavier sentence than someone who assaults someone for wanting to assault a black person. We have already worked all this out in our legal system and the two are not equal.

And as far as I'm concerned, identifying yourself as a Nazi, a group that was going for global genocide, is an open declaration that you want to kill billions of people. And we should have laws against such much like in modern Germany, lest we let it spread and fester into another tragedy.
So to be clear, as long as it's not an immutable characteristic, it's fine. Punching someone for being an atheist, or a Communist, or wearing a hijab, or being bisexual and currently dating someone of the same sex, all fine. A politician, let's call him "Putin", putting political opponents in prison for refusing to "do something about their actions" which he considers unsocial, also fine. I mean, otherwise, you're just saying "my hate is right and your hate is wrong" again.

I lay out very clear established reasoning as to why hatred of an immutable trait and hatred of actions are different and all you can do is go "DUURRRR sO yOU ThInK ItS OK tO AttAcK aNyONe fOR TheRE AcTiONs?!?!". Try acting like a real person. I addressed your comments about how hating ideas and hating traits are just the same thing. At least acknowledge you were wrong and lead into a question without the strawmen and with some honest comparisons.

1. The hate speech laws, in Germany at least, criminalise inciting to violence - not self-identifying as a part of a group. You can still run a well-known neo-nazi pub no problem. It's that point that was made earlier: thought crimes are not actual crimes.

There are laws against depicting Nazis symbols and speaking positively about Nazis. They won't arrest you for being a Nazi, but they will for trying to spread it.

If it's okay to kill or imprison someone for wanting things you think are bad, then everyone gets that privilege.

Ok, then you don't believe in the concept of police or prison, and I can't take you seriously on this. If you want to turn the ability for humans to tell the ethical difference between the hating of skin color, and hating murder of innocents, into a murky watered down soup, then that's your problem. Hopefully you are just trying to be contrarian.
