Randomizing Minerals.
page: 1
This isn't a huge issue, and it obviously doesn't affect gameplay in any way, but I feel I need to adress it.

Stop using the "Randomize Minerals" option on your personal editor. This is certainly faster and easier, but it's not very efficient. I'm just a little tired of seeing four of the same mineral in a line, it doesn't look very professional (Take a look at Sattarchasm's bottom right main to see what I'm talking about) If you want to make your minerals random, then just place them manually (it's not that hard).

well "random" can of course lead to a group of 4 some minerals :D


Well I never used that feature, but I do not think having that perfect is important-_-

Hehe, what an eye, you've got Arden :)

Well i actually even don't know where is the "Randomize Minerals" option :)
2006, 02, 24 08:10
i didnt use the option either? :P

lol, arden
sry, but you have no clue. learn a bit about probability and stochastics, really.

your "bug" is what really makes it random, and not schematic. besides, in an 8-mineral base, the probability of having 8 blocks the same is 1/(3^7), which is an extremly small probability. putting them manually "random" would result in structured, and NOT random builds.

Omfg... Don't throw statistics at me, try it yourself! There is almost always at least 3 mins in a row, and that just looks bad.

Btw, no one said you would end up with 8 in a row -.-

having 123 is as probably as 333.
2006, 02, 24 17:36
123 looks better than 333 though :/

I didnt even know there was a randomized option :D

meh, its a decent tool with some bugs, just go back afterwards and fix the messed up patches...

staredit all the way biatches

Actually, i use the randomize minerals button, check my minerals after that and edit 2 instead of 8 :P

hypno, it is NO bug but a sign for being NO bug.
