Perhaps this is a good time to ask what orders are and how one overfills them?

Explore the blacksmith’s shop thoroughly. Not sure exactly when stuff unlocks (might need to do one dungeon run first) but all the business order/smithing stuff is done at the forge, the order book, and Dojima.

Really enjoying the changes to archwing combat and railjack pacing in Warframe after the latest update.
Less busy work, more ass kicking, overall, it feels pretty fun to me.
Though, uh, they still need to do some fine tuning wrt railjack EHP versus enemy fighter weapons. So far it appears one maxed out armor mod is more than sufficient for handling incoming damage, even if you have a breach and your HP is reduced to 250 out of 1000 HP.
In the highest difficulty portion of the railjack mode at the moment.
Also not too keen on how easy it is for the railjack to tail-chase enemy fighters. Sure, getting guns on target I’d expect, and running them down when you sprint/boost, but you can follow them all over without too much trouble and that… that kinda feels like it should be the provenance of the smaller, faster archwings.

i found an indie drod-like called tactical nexus by using steam’s machine learning recommender and setting it to ultra-niche/6 months.
i was immediately greeted by this very long article going into exacting detail about why their game is going to sell for 725 dollars in 2 years
it actually sounds interesting so i bought the base module. fuck it. $15 to play a game that looks like this, with the most ludicrous business plan i’ve ever heard. shoot for your dreams.

I refuse to believe this game isn’t some kind of lost MKULTRA creation that got out of the lab

Have you played Tower of the Sorceror? This looks very much like that, just with more(?) scope/ambition and a crazy business model.
Played it maybe a decade and a half ago, and got to the third tier of levels then had to restart (each tier is 10 levels and builds on the resources you got from the last). It’s almost certainly the direct inspiration for both this game and DROD RPG.

Just checked – Tower of the Sorcerer runs fine in Windows 10 but you DO have to right click the installer and set it to Windows 98 compatibility mode, otherwise it fails to update the registry.
EDIT: The game also has textboxes with white text on a light-gray background, and idk how to fix that yet.
Also this game is much harder to play than like DROD RPG since there is no undo, you don’t start with the ability to predict a fight, and it doesn’t seem like you can save at will at the beginning?

I have now played the free demo for Tactical Nexus and the game is very good. Would recommend! My sister and I played through the tutorial tower in about 2 hours. We only cleared it with a bronze medal and there are 3 other (seemingly longer) towers in the free demo.
Tactical Nexus would be a spreadsheet game if it weren’t too complicated to warrant a spreadsheet. The sheer complexity and variety of meta-game starting conditions means the game is way too complicated for walkthroughs. The math melts away and all you’re left with is intuition and unlimited undos. It’s beautiful.
Also it’s hilarious to me that I now own two mechanically deep and extremely ugly games that share Tower of the Sorcerer as an ancestor.
Tactical Nexus <- Tower of the Sorcerer
Dream Quest <- Desktop Dungeons <- Tower of the Sorcerer
