Game Discussion General / Re: Ixion: Spiritual Successor to Outpost?

Ixion is more like Frostpunk in space. It's quite a good game, just expect to die a lot, much like Frostpunk. :P

PlanetBase is also worth checking out, if you want Outpost 1 x Dwarf Fortress. Unlike OP1, you do have to micromanage individual colonists, but it's very similar.

Game Discussion General / Ixion Follow-Up
« Last post by VileTerror on July 05, 2024, 05:11:35 PM »
So, up to this point, all I had done was watch a bunch of let's plays of the game.
But I noticed recently that it was -finally- on GOG, so I got a copy for myself. 
It's really scratching that itch that the original Outpost gave me, but like I said in the HD subforum, the lack of an endless mode feels like such a missed opportunity.  It would be great for the devs of Ixion to make a sequel or a spin-off which revolves around colony building.  They've got the chops for it, I think.  It would stand to be far less janky and buggy than the original Outpost, at least, heh.

Feedback/Suggestions/Problems / Re: Found my original Outpost2 CD and am trying to install it via porting kit on mac

Drakmar/Xanactus on our Discord might know. Discord's a better place for getting fast answers to questions than these forums.

Don't install the game the "normal" way.
Use the OPU patch installer from here: https://www.outpost2.net/outpost2.html
You can point it at your OP2 CD, and it will handle the entire game install for you. Our installer does have some builtin handling for Wine installs, but not sure if that picks up Porting Kit too or not.

That said, very few people here have Macs. Last time we did test it a few years ago, which was right after MacOS dropped 32-bit userland support, OP2 was unplayably slow. Performance might be better now. We have even less of an idea how well ARM Macs work right now.

It's an awesome read. It shows a number of ways to improve code clarity and maintainability. I would definitely recommend picking up a copy.
