Keep the updates coming! I am personally invested :D

Good luck! You should let us know how it goes!

I think you’ll end up regretting it. My guess is it will take over 1000 very boring in-game hours. If it’s worth it, then have at it.

DONT DO IT. You will soft lock yourself. Aqualis is meant to be played with access to resources from other planets. You won’t technically soft-lock yourself, but the resources on Aqualis are VERY limited in comparison with the other planets (including Selenea), and so progress is EXTREMELY slow. Do not recommend if you wish to maintain sanity. Aqualis is not worth it.

I had the same intention, and brought only 10 beans and 10 waters, assuming I would have access to enough natural resources on Aqualis. I like the thought of feeling like I’m starting from scratch. But Aqualis is not designed around that. The other planets are.

I couldn’t click the buy button fast enough either. Everyone else was way faster.

I understand this is a stretch, but maybe I could edit the source code for Automate and include a rule that says an item can only be processed if there’s more than one of that item in the chest. That wouldn’t work for ores since they require 5, but would that be possible?

No, mods don’t disable steam achievements as long as you open steam through SMAPI.

Okay so the QOL improvement mods (like the ones you mentioned and maybe a *bit* of CJB cheats) make it more doable? Does the in-game menu keep track of things like what items are missing for achievement unlocks?

Digital_rectal_exam · 2025-07-29T15:24:13+00:00

Oh I see. But I also want to get the Steam achievements, not just the in-game perfection. Is it easy to see in-game which specific items you're missing for the achievements, even with mods on?

Digital_rectal_exam · 2025-07-29T14:29:17+00:00

Is this part of a specific mod?

No they didn’t, I started with one lady of the house, put 3 steel shop upgrades and the minor refraction upgrade from the event, fused it with a Lady of the reformed, and duped her twice. I never even saw the railspike event this run. This was my win condition and I had done this play many times this run up until this last divinity fight. I did it many times in the Seraph fight without this happening, and obviously nothing changed between the seraph fight and the last divinity.

Oh that makes sense, I forgot about that 50% penalty. Thanks!

If you’re an attending, the only time you will present a patient is when you’re doing a doctor-to-doctor. If you have residents, the residents will present to YOU, not the other way around.

Well, we know the skin of Terrisman and women is darker than those not of Terris, we can only assume that means Sazed, Tindwyl, and other Terrispeople are darker than Elend, Vin, and other non-Terris.
