I found this underground while searching for polygels under the moon stair. I had no idea this mod existed, and I didn't even know chairs could have mods.
I'm writing this in defence of Psychometry.
In so many of my character runs Psychometry is the one I miss the most if I dont take it.
The ability to immediately make copies of pretty much any artifact cannot be underestimated. If you find a great artifact thats useful but not right now like portable wall, jackhammer, spiral borer, or pretty much any grenade then being able to just read its history then immediately break it down is incredibly useful.
Sure you can eat the bananas and get Psychometry L2 but unless you have high ego (which for most tinkers you dont) that won't get you very far. You could also just buy schematics but the cost adds up and you won't always find what you want.
Plus for early game tinkers you can read the first energy weapon you find then repeatedly lay then disarm your own turrets to quickly get the jacked mod (as long as you have intelligence 25).
Just followed my buddy Amus II (proselytised this run after freeing him from an Esper) down the pit made by a fulcrete catapult. Encountered an Esper version of a Temple Mecha on the level below. It's spawned low on health. I have a military security card. Can this even be made to work with an Esper version of one of these??
Hello water-sibs! on my current run my Desert Village started with an Oil Weep as warden, I started to hoard continaers to fill them with oil and sell them or exchange them for equipment. By chance the Dromad merchat of the town had an unidentified Artifact that weighted 13lbs and cost around 450 (Character is a water merchant so had Snake oiler from the start.. the Irony...), Long story short I bough it and ended up been a flame thrower.
How would you make use, with my current character, with his mutations and stats of a Flamethrower + infinite Oil combo? How would you build it? what skills would you look for? what would you do with his current mutations? What equipment should I hunt for?
Thanks for all the help! Live and drink!
Hi I'm new at this game. I tried to find the option in options section, controls and after searching the debug option it doesn't appear. And what control bottom should I put? (Sorry if my english isn't the best)
Successfully proselytized a crab cherub, been watching him wipe entire zones for me (except for trining lampreys). Only reason I got the Kesil Face. Fair payment for getting like, two-shot repeatedly by him and his buddies about nine times.
>!Picture taken right before I lost my goofy lil best buddy crab pokemon to a Chrome Pyramid (finished killing the pyramid after though). Back to doing things the hard way I guess. !<
If you haven't beaten the game, shoo, go away.
>!1. Do you get any distinct changes to the ending if you prevent Barathrum from reaching the ship, maybe by boxing him in with sowers? The locket seems to strongly suggest that starshiib exist--or at least, that someone is trying to convince us all that starshiib exist. Does it show up in the epilogue if Barathrum dies or is prevented from launching?!<
>!2. For the textual completists: the other archon Resheph says is still puttering about Qud with base intentions--does this refer to Ptoh? Does it refer to the creature you freed in the Tomb of the Eaters? Were the Mechanimist deities bound by Resheph something other than archons (even though they are purportedly his brothers)? Was the betrayal contemporary with the first Covenant, or does it predate? !<
>!3. I've never taken the time to find nanocrayons, but if I were to, can I create endgame items too? What about endgame critters?!<
And lastly, a fun anecdote which nonetheless deserves a TW: suicide:
>!For this run, I thought I'd let Phinae Hoshaiah (the High Priest of the Rock) come up the Spindle with me. Thought it'd be a cool experience for him and everything. I managed to get him on the golem (which was a finicky process), and we sat with Barathrum as he had his breakdown and explained the Resheph is the cause of the plagues. After the dialogue ended, Phinae walked to the exit hatch and threw himself off the golem.!<
>!Phinae ended up in the Arrivarium anyway, so there was a bug either in his jump or in his surviving. But even if that was emergent storytelling, it was emergent storytelling at its finest.!<
Does anyone else get completely distracted from the 'story' tasks of the game by the Salt Kraken? I find myself just trailing behind the big guy out of curiosity to see what kind of things will get dug out of the sand.
In my current run, I followed it into a screen and the dawn gliders kept burning the poor guy. Every time I carefully beat the flames off him. Too bad the game doesn't recognize this, but I can still tell myself stories about how he secretly appreciates the aid.
Playing a very Qudian game called WildSea and had the players find a non active chrome pyramid in a starship foundry, they had an NPC who knew vaguely what they were and just described what they do in Qud to my players and everyone was like "oh fuck no".
Then I had my player's enemies come in and try to turn it on. Great times all around.
I'm a new player (only played for about a week, haven't even entered the jungle), and I was wondering if the books ever contain any useful information. I've noticed some of the books are only one line, and others I've seen have been over 100 pages. Do I actually have to know what they say at all?
Also, what's the difference between the white- and gold-colored books?
Maybe my fourth time ever trying warm static and I turned into a star kraken.
UPDATE #1: Acquired enough skill points to purchase the JUMP skill in an attempt to move without eating stairs... and you can't jump without feet.
UPDATE #2: I don't know why I assumed that I would eat stairs, was just experimenting with shade injectors to see if I still eat when phasing (nothing that isn't phased BTW) and discovered that I can, in fact, use stairs without eating them :|
For the life of me can't figure this out. Playing an esper with high ego and multiple mental mutations. Only result I found for this on reddit, the answer was deleted.
I'm playing a chimera axe build, I have the horns mutation, and two extra head slots, but for some reason, when I ate the cloaca surprise I got an extra set of horns on one of my heads. I don't mind it that much, but it would be nice to have that head slot back.
This run was a daily challenge and I gave my character a silly name off the cuff without thinking about it. Turned out to be my most entertaining playthrough yet.
Behold: A Brief History of Boobs
what would be more powerful? a zetachrome sword, forged from the matter of the early universe, waiting for billions of years for technology to become advanced enough to extract and shape this material into weapons of absolute unparalleled sharpness and durability, able to slice through any man-made material in existence . . . . or a tarnished copper hand axe.
Its the hand axe, of course, reducing the targets AV 75% of the time you hit (no pen required) and when you crit. berserk gives 100% de-limbing on a penetration, so that combined with the AV reducing properties of axes is incredibly strong, especially with multiple axes, letting you stack even more cleaves on the opponent.
With long blades you can . . . give yourself either +3 DV, + three to hit, or +2 AP, at the cost of -3 to hit. these options just kind of suck, they dont scale at all with stats or levels, so the longer you go on the less meaningful they become. swords get +pen on crit, which sounds nice, but getting extra pen on hit it way, WAY worse than reducing the targets AV on hit, stacking (you dont even need to crit lol, it happens 75% of the time no matter what)
this is long enough, but cudgels are also insanely strong, 50% base daze on hit, and a second daze is a stun, letting you just bonk an opponent over and over
so yeh are swords just garbage?
I've been randomly exploring underground and have so far come across both a legendary mechanimist and a legendary putus templar, but neither had a nectar injector to sell me.
Is it just RNG, or do I have to kill them for it (not that I'm confident I could find either of them again).
