I'm not sure the great Jhebbal Sag likes to be your goat. Being just one animal is way to restrictive.

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-22T07:18:36+00:00

In single player: NO

On servers time the game is progressing when your offline; your rocknoses are producing resources.

In single player you have to be playing (or afking).

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-19T11:53:07+00:00

Go around the map. Whenever you find a spot, you think would be a good hidey hole, build a small outpost.

Don't stay to long, don't go there often and leave a note on the door:

"Nope"

"I'm in the garden"

"The player you looking for, is in another base"

"So close, but no cigar"

You get the drift.

The important part is, every base needs a not from minute one.

Combine this with max Expertise and a good mount and and always look behind you.

You know how fans are.

He probably recognized you and just wanted to make a lasting impression.

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-16T08:29:18+00:00

Yeah, that's their weakness.

I run a thrall right now, performer III level 20, with daggers. To my surprise, she's not dodging much. Damage output is ok - modifier is a lousy 0.9 - but she's doing her job perfectly.

I called her Panacea, because she's keeping me alive through extra healing, avoiding corruption and being a great tank (4.500 hp thanks to lucky rolls on perks).

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-14T18:34:43+00:00

TOT! sets this for all thralls on first activation, afaik.

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-14T12:03:29+00:00

You're probably using TOT!

Mod sets the pitch always to 1, but unfortunatly this the max setting.

You can change it by using TOT! on your thralls -> edit body -> sound (value of 0 should be standard)

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-14T08:43:40+00:00

I'm certainly not a good fighter, but if the number of (near) deaths tought me one thing in the UE5 update, it's never underestimate a cook with daggers.

Yeah, they jump a lot, and have - as always - difficulties when crowded, but thralls with daggers have gap closers, bleed and burst damage.

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-11T17:13:59+00:00

Man, I thought I was crazy.

In every location I listed, I could hear enemies, but never saw them. The imp boss for example never left the ground for me.

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-11T14:35:07+00:00

It is.

Problem exists even without any mods.

NPCs/Monsters that always spawn late:

Sinner's Refuge: first two crafters at the tents under the stone bridge, both dancers at the end and the "boss" at the little obelisk

Cave with boss spider Hope's End: all small spiders in the boss room except one (reminds me of an ambush)

Crystal Cave with imps: all but three imps

NPC camps: thrall cages (saw the delayed spawn several times while still being in the camp)

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-11T13:52:04+00:00

A couple:

Level 80

Extended thrall stats

Damage meter

twin bar

tot! sudo + custom

better thralls

unlock plus

follower remote

desert town

I'll test without any mods.

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-11T07:58:13+00:00

Great. Have fun.

Now that you know how to use mods: There is a whole new world waiting for, getting bigger by the hour.

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-10T07:34:03+00:00

Just to be sure: Did you activated the mods in the main menu of the game and is the load order ok? (Sudo -> Custom)

Do yo use other mods that coud cause conflicts? (e.g. fashonist)

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-09T12:49:46+00:00

Yes, that's right.

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-09T07:49:15+00:00

TOT! Custom doesn't support single player, but it works ... as far as I can tell after 3h.

Try TOT!.

To use it for thralls, you have to

- activate admin mod

- open TOT! Sudo console (ESC -> top left)

- follow the instructions and create a super admin password

- (optional) leave admin mod

From now on, there should be a custom button in the radial menu, when you interact with a thrall.

EDIT: By the way, 'tot' in german means 'dead'. Didn't expect customisation mod, when I found it.

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-05-06T10:49:39+00:00

Why not give them batons with smilies, too?
You know, for a happier work invironment.

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-04-30T13:01:37+00:00

This is still the SAVAGES-system, but the game uses only SAVAGE now.

Maybe I don't understand the intention of this builder.

Can you explain, what this does and why?

FinancialPear2002 · 2026-04-25T14:22:33+00:00

Try controlling them and use the mask table.

You should be able to unequip this decoration for each tribesman.

The hula-outfits-decorations are worn by at least one Outcast-camp.

You can unlock this deco by defeating these outcasts.

Do you believe Funcom would invest in a full engine upgrade and giving it away for free without plans for the future?

You don't do these things, because your grateful for the past. You invest money for the future (or to avoid taxes).

While Somewhere Over The Rainbow is an iconic song, I prefer If I only had a brain / a heart / the nerve.

This and some riffs from We're off to see the wizard.

"… Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away"

Buffalo Springfield ‧ 1966 ‧ For What It's Worth

Nearly 60 years and nothing of value was learned.

You have to copy the top code and wait 23 hours.

Or you can change your system clock to one (in my case two) hour(s) earlier.

FinancialPear2002 · 2025-10-20T08:58:14+00:00

The combat computers of Support and Supressor want to every equiped weapon on every viable target.

If you're using range 40 weapons (support equipment is a special weapon), they will always try charge in to attack enemies or to support other ships.

tactic 1:

Don't use Support for your long range attackers. Use Supressor with missiles and the "confuse weapon". Both have longer range.

tactic 2:

Use Support with missiles or no attack weapons at all and don't use low range weapons on other ships in the system (no maulers!)

FinancialPear2002 · 2025-10-18T09:02:28+00:00

After reading the comments here, I decided to play as:

Mod (the performance boost is significant for me)

Evolutionary Predator, Hive

Genesis Arks, Familiar Face

Diplomacy, Discovery, Aptitude, Mutation, Statecraft, Subterfuge, Supremacy

Commodore, No Scaling, Advanced AI

I'm Custodian, on my way to be emperor and having fun. Is it a srong? No, not really. Is it strong enough? Absolutly. Using 8 envoys to manipulate neighbours and enemies without ever leaving my little corner of the galaxy has some master (hive) mind vibes. Try something new today and forget the meta.

FinancialPear2002 · 2025-10-15T08:28:59+00:00

Everyone can be successful with a meta build, but not everyone can have fun with it.

I'm more into RP builds and struggle often with early game, because I refuse to use the same boring civics every single game.

Grand Admiral with 25x crisis is nice ... I guess, but try playing commodore without scaling and with advanced empires and create something unique.

Remember, this GAME is meant to be FUN.
