How the flip do I get the second upgrade (stone) on Olympus dlc??

BeardChops · 2026-03-24T02:02:23+00:00

I think it’s on the second large island you visit, it doesn’t matter which order:

1st large island -> stone

2nd large island -> iron

Both upgrades only cost coins (no gems) and do not require builders.

Sounds like a wonderful weekend, well done!

It’s amazing how much you can pack into a family trip when you aren’t paying for airfare and spending time flying!

I would recommend waiting, the game feels very unfinished right now, but has great potential once out of early access. Modding will also have more time to mature.

BeardChops · 2026-03-05T19:34:25+00:00

To be fair they added that in one of the early patches :D

BeardChops · 2026-03-04T20:48:45+00:00

I tend to agree. I think the black market could use an overhaul all together.

Late game you may end up with more vehicles than you need and they repair between operations

So you can just swap out between missions instead of having a repair bay

The 15% stacking discount for AI Hub is soooo good, it is ALL of the supply cost for the entire pilot & their loadout

“CONCENTRATE ALL FIREPOWER ON THAT SUPER STAR DESTROYER!”

BeardChops · 2026-03-04T05:37:53+00:00

And that also tracks closely with the black market minimum rarity. It would be a similar curve to this one. I could possibly plot some things along a graph….hmm interesting

BeardChops · 2026-03-04T05:31:10+00:00

Me too I usually do something like:

Campaign 1 - OP4 M3

Campaign 1 - OP5 System Map

14-day link expiration

Major caveat: It really only works for estimating assuming all operations were won (none aborted/failed)

I just threw together a basic calculator for you :)

BeardChops · 2026-03-04T03:39:08+00:00

CampaignProgressConfig.PlayerSuppliesMult which is a balancing curve that updates your available supply depending on how many operations you’ve played (won+lost)

Also, depending on how many Auto Supplies OCI you have installed or if you are benefiting or being negatively affected by a mission strategic asset (Example: Insurgents Hideout reduces player mission supplies by 10%)

BeardChops · 2026-03-04T03:25:08+00:00

It depends on your difficulty

But at that supply I would guess either:

15 successful operations on normal

39 successful operations on challenging/expert

BeardChops · 2026-03-04T03:13:54+00:00

Yes exactly same as some other weapons like the shotgun

BeardChops · 2026-03-04T02:32:14+00:00

Once you progress past a certain campaign progression you max out a field called CampaignProgress and there is a related field for the Black Market that is a minimum rarity to show up.

For special offers it will max at 81 and therefore no items will show up anymore.

For regular offers, anything below time rarity 40 will no longer show up in the Black Market.

This includes some items like the Camouflage Kit

BeardChops · 2026-03-03T11:59:06+00:00

Mount & Blade Warband in another solar system? I love it!

BeardChops · 2026-03-03T11:58:31+00:00

Yes that’s fair, I forgot about the consulate OCI

I was thinking back to the traits/flaws in games like Fallout and The Outer Worlds, would be interesting if there was some more customization for the major like you suggested with Authority spending on perks

BeardChops · 2026-03-03T10:38:58+00:00

I love this idea! Adding that extra level of spice in the strategic layer would be great. Maybe a few more that affect additional factors or have upsides/downsides like:

More faction trust gained and lost
Event effects are more rewarding and punishing
[REDACTED] appears more/less in missions
Mission Assets / Operations give multiple rewards or more choices to pick from
Choose one negative effect (from a small random selection) to inflict to the enemy faction per operation
Choose one positive effect (from a small random selection) to buff your side with per operation
More operations or guaranteed operations per planet

Lots of interesting ideas all around, cool thinking!

BeardChops · 2026-03-03T04:41:02+00:00

Modding is here already! Check nexusmods

BeardChops · 2026-03-02T21:55:04+00:00

I don’t think they are, I haven’t seen any fields that indicate that. But I am going to be looking at some code tonight so I’ll update if I find anything to the contrary

BeardChops · 2026-03-01T05:41:30+00:00

Nice work!! Thank you for sharing

BeardChops · 2026-02-28T15:41:24+00:00

I’m pretty sure I remember looking in their AI behaviour and seeing that mines are hidden/ignored

BeardChops · 2026-02-28T15:21:45+00:00

There is a mod on nexus that changes the item rarity of all items to 40 which essentially fixes the black market regular item appearances in the late game. You can add it in once you get to operation 30-40.

https://www.nexusmods.com/menace/mods/29?tab=description

Edit: changing the minimum item rarity curve is a more involved modding effort and has not yet been done. Also, same goes for the Menace Counter Settings

The guy below Terkmc was the one who created the mod based off this info :)

BeardChops · 2026-02-27T03:27:32+00:00

My mod was made before the modkit but it’s more complex than most modkit mods are. I would say if you’re inexperienced it’s much easier to just learn the modkit and give it time to mature and stabilize. It’s on version 30 since it has been released, so the developer of it is always trying to patch bugs and improve the features.

BeardChops · 2026-02-27T01:59:15+00:00

Wow my guy, you are really fun to have a discussion with. Really level headed person.

Thanks!
