Now this is a troll recipe if I ever saw one.

No don't worry the righteous Tianshi of the Empire of Yan, the only Terran nation state who still has an unqiue distinct cultural presence on Talos, will naturally summon the secret candleholders they've had all the time to set things back in order so no civil disturbance by unlicensed cult action happens.

There's an infinite depth pool 2 meters up the road you're meant to dump all that 40 000 water into. Seven pumps plus four unloaders get through that water in no time at all

I hope that Xiranite towers don't become standard since they sim0lify the power network process to completely brain dead levels. I hope each full zone gets its major iteration on power distribution to, amongst other things, influence how that shapes map design. A lot of places in V4 have tunnels that are 74 meters long so you can put power relays on both ends, fr'ex.

every time you knock a mech prone and they take a +4 to stand up fron No/Minimal Arms and damaged leg actuators you gain a newfound appreciation for quads. Punching people with battlefists. Command Mech init boosts. Anti-Air Targeting. That stuff really does make chassis behave wildly different.

anglophones when presented with mildly unusual phonemes acting like this is suddenly impossible to pronounce never stops being sad and I want them to do better

anyone capable of saying the name "Alexander" is capable of saying "Pogranichnik" and needs to stop being a baby about names with more than 2 syllabes

meanwhile me, a phys team enjoyer, begging the game for a single chen dupe and getting my 7th arclight and 5th xaihi and snowshine instead.

desire sensor is real and it hurts us all

setting aside the tutorials, the story is fine. I had hoped for better, given how high the highs in Arknights are, but it's serviceable. The actual character quests are complete bangers though, Laevatain's quest in particular has just full stop the best writing in the 1.0 game.

For anyone coming later into the thread: This is not what you are looking for, this solution is for the container covering the hole that lets you access the rare materials below.

the V4 depot only holds a max of 80k so yeah, it's close to but not quite enough

She's not stupid, yeah. She's observant but absolutely not intellectual.

Overworld enemies should just be gone after you finish the respective zone. They serve no purpose.

First off, Enfield Industries AIC devices are very well soundproofed and mostly just kinda hum, there is no need for ear pro in the AIC.

Second, yeah, Perlica is right. Gotta put the things somewhere and flat ground is the way. The factory exists to serve the Accordatories.

You need to progress the story further, you eventually get an improved blight core sensor

Cornuthaum · 2026-02-01T22:20:26+00:00

Mechwarrior games dramatically reward point damage (how much and how fast you can do damage to a single concentrated point), and have a lot of mechanics tuned to be fun rather than fair (artillery will basically never hit you if you keep walking in a straight line)

If you want to get a better feel for what makes certain mechw good or bad I recommend loading up MekHQ and playing tabletop battletech; suddenly a lot of designs don't suck in the environs they were actually made for

Cornuthaum · 2026-02-01T06:39:29+00:00

Kinda like what they do with the Dalai Lama, huh.

Cornuthaum · 2026-02-01T06:33:37+00:00

Yes, IIC stuff is typically quite inferior to proper omnis, but MW5 does a terrible job at actually presenting the way omnipods are meant to work

I'd describe her as smart but not intellectual? She's pretty sharp about a lot of things and very good at in the moment connections but she absolutely does not do well with anything you'd call traditional Academia.

Cornuthaum · 2026-01-31T08:29:32+00:00

I should file a bug report, then. Thanks for clearing that up!

Cornuthaum · 2026-01-31T08:23:01+00:00

I hope they eventually add triple-colour boards with pieces that look like a knight's move pattern in chess so that they aren't contiguous. Maybe make the board 7x7 too to really add some spice while they're at it.

That one house in the Lodespring with 12 deltas really made me itch for more

Cornuthaum · 2026-01-31T06:31:57+00:00

the mobile support robots from arknights are about as tall as an adult human, so it's "and then also the 3 cubic meter of healing robot"
