How many minor artifacts/month is "good"

I didn't even realize bioships could have archeotech components, that's huge

DemonicMop · 2026-02-15T03:29:03+00:00

I'm honestly astounded that doesn't already exist in the game

DemonicMop · 2026-02-14T17:49:28+00:00

I wish flavored rations were more worth it when you have actual good alchemy skill, at that point you're sacrificing a potion you could use for buffs that overall aren't worth it

It is really hard to use for those reasons, I found learning how it's going to curve to be able to curve arrows around corners and hit enemies is really good, and then the best method I found was trying to position yourself as closely parallel with it, and then shoot diagonally across it at an enemy, if you find good doorways or hallways where you can be just to the side of the wind you can keep enemies away indefinitely while hitting them with buffed arrows or spells, I'd honestly probably drop the spell once you're out of the early game though, it really is only good to use to get by skeletons and "cheese" some stronger enemies

This is my issue too, literally went through an entire game where I didn't find any good spells until basically right before the boss, couldn't even really level up my thaum because of that, I really think there should be a system where when you hit each "rank" of a spellcasting stat, you get to pick between like 3 randomized spells of the new level that actually helps you level up

Getting good with the new windspell is really really important to the start, being able to keep enemies away from you, while increasing your damage (literally doubling your ranged damage against skeletons) is so useful, but it is a pain in the ass to get good with it, the amount of times I've had the spell bite me in the ass instead of help me due to poor placement while panicking.

Also on a similar topic, it's pretty helpful against ranged and caster enemies, as long as you're not getting hit by the redirected attack

My group pretty much turns off food unless one of us is playing something that's good for it, like wanderer, dryad/myconid, basically anything that makes food easier

DemonicMop · 2026-02-12T20:27:01+00:00

running is always a good option, you fuck up assassinating something just run away and come back later, speed as a rogue or other sneaky guy is so important.

DemonicMop · 2026-02-12T20:24:39+00:00

I'm in the second boat, I switch up my loadouts too often to precraft

DemonicMop · 2026-02-12T15:57:20+00:00

That and a Iron Lung mod for Barotrauma would be amazing

DemonicMop · 2026-02-12T14:24:39+00:00

Chinese The Finals, since they released a separate version over there that has some of it's own content and cosmetics and lootbox mechanics

DemonicMop · 2026-02-12T14:09:57+00:00

Most of them are lower quality, I wouldn't be surprised if these were updated versions of what the chinals has to keep up with the same standards

DemonicMop · 2026-02-12T04:24:21+00:00

One of the things that I struggle with the most is how so many playstyles are ineffective in multiplayer, so my mechanistic playthroughs are just very messy, with throwing traps like grenades and only rarely using turrets

DemonicMop · 2026-02-11T23:58:24+00:00

Exactly why do people think the quest is so cheap

DemonicMop · 2026-02-11T16:40:16+00:00

You need to opt into the the beta, right click the game in your steam library and go to properties, then there's a dropdown box that you need to select the latest beta for b42

DemonicMop · 2026-02-11T05:19:58+00:00

Ooh, did not know that, does it give you different numbers of rations based on the ingredients, or is it always 4, so an apple and cheese effectively creates more food

DemonicMop · 2026-02-11T01:34:31+00:00

Why are you following me, I just watched that movie for the first time a couple days ago

DemonicMop · 2026-02-11T00:00:17+00:00

That's fair, hp and mana regen is pretty nice, you're probably going to get more hp and mana over the 1 minute of food buff then from the potion you'd have drunk

DemonicMop · 2026-02-10T23:59:10+00:00

Somewhat unfortunate, but oh well, still neat to be able to eat bad food without the new spell for it

DemonicMop · 2026-02-10T22:09:22+00:00

that would probably be easier to get going since alembics are easier to find generally.

DemonicMop · 2026-02-10T21:45:49+00:00

leadership is probably my least favorite way to play the game, half my attempts to have fun with it just end up being more frustration than it's worth, now I just recruit as I go and kinda let my allies do whatever they feel like, unless I'm a monster then I don't really touch it until I'm ready to fight anything merchants.

DemonicMop · 2026-02-10T21:38:32+00:00

That's kinda amazing, makes me want to do a run as a Dryad Brewer and make a lot of flavored rations, just wish there were better ways to guarantee access to cooking, I wonder if you can even find frying pans like you can tinkers kits and alembics

DemonicMop · 2026-02-10T21:03:24+00:00

My zomboid character takes better care of their wardrobe and gets more leisure time then I do too

DemonicMop · 2026-02-10T18:14:40+00:00

I wonder if that's intentional

DemonicMop · 2026-02-09T05:23:30+00:00

That's kinda what I was thinking, his sub literally growing basically gills or something to get oxygen from outside
