!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

WTF is wrong with you? The farms on a mill should make a windmill shape so they all touch 😒 you can put eight this way and if makes a nice pattern

What really should bother us here is that the dead area applies to the farms but not the mills, iirc. It causes farms on the right side to be verifiably more efficient because farmers prefer the left side for pathing.

The whole mill perimeter is usable equally despite the way it looks, ironically enough.

Also farms that far away from the mills bothers me. Hate it when the French? campaigns do that.
