An Introduction: sudomilk

Hey all!

I'm new to these forums, but I have been building out a community site focused on in-depth as well as short guides and tips about PA as well as promoting streams that I like.

I'm hoping to use it to enrich the community and do not make any money off of this site. It only costs me time, but I love writing and meta-gaming. I was looking for a critique on what I can do better as well as hoping to do a bit of shameless self-promotion to see if people like this kind of content. Please let me know what you think and let me know if you want to play sometime! My name is sudomilk on Steam and PA.

Since I cannot post links as a new user, and I wish to follow forum etiquette, you can PM me for a link to the site-slash-post on economics if you are interested! Thanks.

I would post it here but it would require a double-post to do so. Let me know if this is okay too because I only really care that people read my guide and either give feedback or learn something- it doesn't matter if it's on my site or not.

Dude, yeah, double-post.

Also, welcome to the forums my man. Have fun!

You can edit the post.

I think it takes 5 posts though.

P.M. the link to me please.

In any case, welcome to the forums!

Everyone, this guy it awesome, I grazed over his posts and he seems fairly knowledgeable about PA, also the website looks sweet, just so no one has to PM him anymore he gave me permission to post the link here http://totalpa.com/ I beg of you, GET ON THAT WEBSITE

Welcome to the club!

Looks like competition is starting to spring up again.

My redesign is launching in 11 days... muahahahaha.

If I could make a suggestion though, make a comment button on the main page instead of having to actually click on the topic then comment, and once you have a lot of posts, people aren't going to want to scroll a ton to see older topics, instead of showing the entire post on the main page, maybe after the 3(?) newest posts have the ones after it as previews

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have to make a little project to write a plugin for that, but it's an awesome idea. Thank you all again for taking the time to look! This place seems pretty awesome as I've been looking to get into the community more.

Also, I will never be the awesome mega-everything site that pamatches.com is, haha.

If you need ideas I think mod spotlights are something that is sorely needed. I'm obviously biased in saying this, but the Statera balance mod is a good starting point.

The Statera mod needs to be more flushed out before it gets a video.

I've made quite a few mod reviews, but most mods don't need a full video.

When Statera gets to a more complete release, I'll make a video. Same goes for RBM.

We've been hard at work doing just that! Attempting to get pesky models into the game.

Work faster!

No sleep for you!

It's seriously one of the most annoying processes, you figure out a problem, fix it, and you think "YES YES YES, PLEASE PLEASE", and then.. nope! Find another problem... The cycle repeats...

And then PA updates and changes how things work...

I've been turning this idea over in my head a bit and bouncing it off of some friends who play around the office. I think that, in the spirit of growing the community, I'd like to grow my presence a bit more on the forums and other places (reddit, via some twitch streams), and then do a short interview with a featured mod maker/team about why the mod was created and their thoughts on PA currently, coupled with a video of how the mod works.

Awesome input from all of you! Thanks again. I was pretty worried about being seen as a spammer, haha.

Have you seen trialq's http://pa-mods.com?

What sort of office do you work in that allows you to play games?

Cool stuff, if you ever want to write a guest article for eXodus, just let us know.

By the way, comments on your articles don't seem to be working.

Anyway, I tried to leave this comment:

if UBER'd damn pin my mod thread...

I have ripped out the comments system and put Disqus in it's place just now. Thank you for letting me know! I literally built the site in binge on Monday and thanks to all of you, I am noticing these little details I missed.

Per an earlier comment, I am looking to see if there is a comment now button I can throw on every post that is on the main page so that you don't have to click to the article to comment, but that may be work for later tonight as I have work soon.

I am going to rework the Efficiency is important paragraph to more clearly define that your fabricators are the throttle for controlling build rate. Thank you for the critique!
