Guess who is rich asf right now

I remember seeing a patch note saying it had been improved, but honestly it feels less intelligent than it did last year.

For example:

1.
If I walk up to a small room and press 0, I remember AutoExplore would usually continue exploring that room first, since there normally isn't much left to check.

Now, it often turns around and walks all the way back through areas I've already explored just to look for another unexplored path.

Instead, it gives up on entering the room and checking the things inside that are likely still worth inspecting. Then it comes back later anyway, which just wastes time by making it walk the same route twice.

2.
Likewise, if there's something nearby like a bookshelf, I remember AutoExplore would inspect or loot nearby interactable objects before moving on.

Now it sometimes ignores them, turns around, and runs off somewhere else to continue exploring.

Is anyone else experiencing this, or am I just remembering the old behavior incorrectly?

I am talking about a mod that can make the actions on the map happen faster

I am in a high level playthrough with an esper type build and now every battle with glimmer assassins takes more than 10 minutes just waiting for everyone to perform their actions

The values dont change when you reroll with precognition?

Now you have to go over to the next screen to reroll movement speed granted by springing

Iircit used to reroll after precogniton and the wiki says so

I've recently gotten into the game and I was wondering if there are any popular mods used by the community? Any mods that add some nice QOL features or just add something that you don't play without. I'd love to see some recommendations!

Physical mutations are much easier to understand. “Oh, I have 4 arms. Oh, I have quills like a porcupine. Oh, my ass claps so hard I generate electricity to the local lattice.” It’s pretty easy to understand how the physical mutations work.

But Mental mutations feel, essentially, like magic. But “mutation” implies that, in some way that they are interacting with the world in some way that should be able to be described with physics, chemistry, biology, etc. So how do you think they work?

I was thinking about Precognition when coming up with my question, so I’ll just talk about a fun way I Precognition works. I think it’s some sort of really protracted Déjà vu-esque reaction, where in some way you hallucinate an alternate-self’s experience. In some way, your mind has grown to attune to copies of it along branching timelines, and you can only follow one at a time.

I don’t know if my explanation is even meaningfully different from just saying “it’s magic” but I thought it might be fun to think about.

I am trying to finish Pax Klanq's quest, I found him once and got Klanq to spread around, but in the process I lost the limb that had the infection. I re-grew it with Ubernostrum and now I am trying to find him again.

The weird thing is, he is just not there. I go to the center tile of the rainbow wood to look for the flesh mushrooms and I cannot find them anymore, nor can I find his workshop. I have never had this happen before.

Any ideas on what I can do? I am soft locked at the moment.

I’m literally lv 32 with 4 zetachrome gears and 2 ape gods as companions and how tf do I keep dying in Bethesda Susa???

Some snail that doesn’t even appear as hostile when I press alt somehow freezes me for a million rounds till I die to some easy saw-hander??

I mean I could manage through this dungeon if I’m more careful, but the idea that you are in end game and still can get killed in an early level dungeon is just mind boggling.

It’s like having full items lv18 in League of Legends and getting killed by a mage minion cuz I wasn’t careful. How fed do you need to be lol?

Edit: ok guys so I didn’t know this game was this much knowledge based. I guess I will just stop auto-exploring even if the dungeons are lower level than me.

see title. can this ruin anything? it seems that quest progression is maintained, but still. there's also a second une back at freehold

So I got on the Spidle without saving the escort. I assume talking to him has something to do with why this is so long. After sitting around for a while, I got a prompt to wait until it's done, and I turned it down out of confusion. Now I'm just sitting her, for quite some time. I think some people could literally have run the distance by this time. Is the game broken, or is it supposed to be very long to emphasize the length of the trip?

I see lots of Joppa posts, but once I had learned the basic mechanics of the game I never pick Joppa. One run my starting village had one of those big robot magnets and a high tier dromad merchant that had his stock ripped out, so I left the village in full crysteel with a gradient vacuum. Joppa has far lower odds of producing something like that. But even beyond something like that occurring, the value of a random village just generally seems to be way more advantageous to a proficient player. Like, liquid weep wardens or the weak villagers carrying something valuable. I had one where every villager had ruby cathedras. Don't even get me started on perma swapping options.

So my question to you all: Do you use or still use Joppa, and if so why?
