What are your Unethical, out there, not standard strategies?
Discovered this game last week, worked through the campaign and am now doing the mandates. I love factory games, and the combination of factory style + management + pathing is a blast.
What are your "unethical" strategies?
Ill start
When dealing with Saints in a waiting queue, i often use a Secretariat imp with all the traits that give bonuses on soft and critical failures, and reduced work time. She is often an absolutely horrible imp for any other purposes, and ends up voiding dozens if not more souls in a playthrough, but she generates a lot of cash! I tend to also put her booth near a fear river to reduce her motivation even more so she's even slower. More time spent in the queue = more patience removed. combined with some birth rate bonuses and the voided souls are not a problem
once I unlock the Imp Bongo Club or the Administrators Museum, I start picking up imp traits for reduced work time - which means more breaks. Which means more money/faith. Make those imps into productive resources as well as soul processors!
edit:
thought of another
- Trapping souls in an loop of Hellpuppet/upgraded buildings until they become a deviant due to the general area corruption of Hell itself, then sending them to the specialists - works best if your hellscape is too effective and your overworld is too safe so you arent getting enough souls (of course you could just go make sure you get more :P)
