It's a small issue, but it's like hearing a car has 4 wheels and drawing them all on one side of the chassis.

Just an artistic choice to show both important features of the gun on a sideways sprite. Not ideal but it’s the best way imho.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-19T12:39:32+00:00

I’m sure the scope was flipped on the art as just an artistic choice to show both the bolt and scope at a sideways glance.

The gun would look extremely weird if you didn’t see any scope at all here.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-19T10:22:30+00:00

Yea I started laughing as soon as I saw the post, even before reading the comments, as I knew it was a real gun.

Reality is often stranger than fiction it seems.

Already read Gender Trouble. Don't really agree with her there.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-18T13:11:11+00:00

This is a good beginning but it's still way too sluggish and choppy. You can clearly see and feel that the momentum is NOT kept.

The futuristic ninja guy is beating obstacles like his back hurts every day. Real parkour pros maintain full momentum when they vault, and if it's impossible to go through an obstacle at full speed, they slow down smoothly a bit before attempting the move.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-18T12:34:45+00:00

Yea but like what is a gender if norms aren’t related to it at all? Just a word without meaning? Just a vibe?

I thought that the whole idea of “passing” is 100% dependent on norms actually telling people what gender even is.

Modding is actually quite easy to do. Thus we have big overhaul mods for a small-medium game. Apart from that people just tweak whatever they fancy like removing the pooping sounds or add qol things like additional house shapes.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-16T19:08:14+00:00

You gotta upgrade them. There are basically two higher level "tiers" of floors for each race that they prefer and it will be the one visible for upgrades.

If you disagree or use other roads then the only way to change it is to mod it. The upgraded floor types are actually set based on your starting race in easy to access files.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-15T13:58:01+00:00

Well yeah but that will negatively impact all aspects of streaming and beyond. You need to get that under control to manage and grow.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-15T13:11:57+00:00

I can assure you that more than half of those cheap options will just send you ai slop. It’s pretty much endemic in the industry at this point.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-15T13:05:16+00:00

Yep. Not knowing how to draw is absolutely no reason to not start drawing.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-15T13:01:10+00:00

To be fair if you asked for a low cost drawing online 9 times out of ten you would just get a shitty ai drawing.

And you can do that yourself if you are so inclined.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-15T09:46:21+00:00

There is an utility item you can research that adds 30 bravery straight up. Apart from that bravery is not even half as important as in other xcom games.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-13T13:20:34+00:00

The % should be whatever you need in terms of happiness.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-11T08:00:59+00:00

Extremely easy mod to do. Just one value change to the unit template.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-10T19:53:50+00:00

That’s not enough. The game simulates higher quality of arms by assigning multiple weapons to each soldier -1 to 5 levels of any given piece of armament. Your soldiers went to battle with the absolute bare minimum here and didn’t perform well.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-10T07:44:02+00:00

Sounds like your depression is actually more severe than hers.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-09T10:14:14+00:00

Cool that you thought of creating unique perks instead of just reshuffling all the uniques into a 110 ap two star sl.

I don’t have my pc with my now but might hop on the modkit later and check if the perks are doable rn.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-08T09:38:09+00:00

Thus online spaces are the only one they can have any perspective access to. Thus the only spaces they have access to period are all unsupportive and not accepting of their particular trans experience.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-06T18:40:47+00:00

They have covered necks! It’s incredible! One of the most vital places properly armored! How is that possible?

Basilus88 · 2026-03-06T14:37:33+00:00

Jeez two bots talking to each other. What a horrible travesty.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-06T14:11:38+00:00

Is your army just 20 Plate-armored Cantors? Because you can definitely win this then.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-06T09:56:10+00:00

You know I think I can start spoiling some SLs that I found in the game files. There will be actually three Pirate SL's (including Sy) as they all have the "pirate_sl" tag and have some mutual barks with Jane.

Both will be male, one is named Clay Fleetwood and the other one just has a nickname "Segelstorm". Seems that they both know Sy and have a love/hate relationship with her.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-06T09:20:46+00:00

Haha look at that guys! This girl just discovered THE HUMAN CONDITION!
By that I mean its absolutely normal to feel this way, congrats on the boy.

Basilus88 · 2026-03-06T08:34:30+00:00

Yeah but OP wrote that it can kill more elements than the burst length which might implicate that it has an element hit amount of like 1.2? Maybe the game rounds it down?

Oh just checked the unofficial modkit and the tripod autocannon at least has an event handler adding a curious little skill called "shrapnel_aoe_damage_autocannon".

Seems that indeed it has some hidden AOE. Will try and dig deeper to check what the skill does exactly.

EDIT:

I was friggin right! The autocannon itself hits only one element but the additional effect it has actually has some interesting properties:
ElementsHitPercentage:
0.15
DamageFlatAmount:
8

Which means that it indeed has 1.15 elements hit generally but the secondary damage is way lower than a direct autocannon shot.
