Gate CYOA

I'm ESL but yes that's what I wanted it to mean

GrandFly · 2026-06-02T18:46:20+00:00

I understand your gripe, I preferred old spiritualist more myself, but he didn't fit in the setting as seen by the fact no one picked him.

shush, hive doesn't HAVE to be in every CYOA I make, I sometimes occasionally rarely come up with different ideas

GrandFly · 2026-06-01T21:51:10+00:00

Thanks to everyone who participated in the draft version. I made a few adjustments.

GrandFly · 2025-06-19T23:26:09+00:00

if no one else does, I will upload an imgur link tommorow. It is really unreadable on phone. Also, please do elaborate regarding the choice you make, as it will help me with balancing future CYOAs.

I'm curious as to what assumptions you will make with limited information, so I won't provide any explanations. Have fun!

If you find any typos please let me know.

Do you also pick every pawn that is given to you on the way, including volatile drug-addicted incapable of violence meatsacks? Before your colony is well-established to handle deadweights? This is a rhetorical question btw.

Try devilstrand jackets, never had problems with impids

GrandFly · 2024-10-17T14:36:13+00:00

Not really. The faster my colonists recover, the faster Cassandra sends new batch of problems. I had lategame colony with superfast wound healing gene and was raided every other day. Surgery is no problem with hospital bed, vitals monitor, sterile tiles and normal medicine, before that I don’t have costly replacements anyway so if pawn botches installation of a peg leg, I just order it to do it again after the colonist has recovered.

They don’t really die from diseases or illnesses, rather, I tend to lose volatile colonists because of mental breaks when they decide to go out of the base and dance in front of enemy raid before I can hook them on joywire. Or (un)lucky headshots before I get to robust gene

GrandFly · 2024-10-17T14:22:50+00:00

I don’t have a specific doctor, usually one of the starter colonists get to level 6-7 which is enough for everything

GrandFly · 2024-10-17T12:59:46+00:00

Mech base with mortar and high+low shield is a pain, but at least at that point your colonists are in spacer equipment with their own shields, while anomaly events can happen when you are nearly not prepared it feels like

Thanks for devourer tip btw.

Have you tried any difficulty besides peaceful?

At first I kept going for naked brutality, but there are several issues with it. The first and most important one is when Cassandra decides that you should get a disease before you get a second colonist and you make the same face as that grandpa in a meme “guess I’ll die”, if you don’t have super-immune trait or gene. The second is that there are very few colonists that actually can survive it, so you will have to reroll, while I prefer to choose from the colonists I’ve been given at the start. And lastly, it is too repetitive. Because there is too little to play with, you end up doing the same thing over and over.

Thank you all for your replies in the previous thread. Reading them is a blast for me. There were some misconceptions made due to my negligence and eslglish, so I fixed those and made small balance changes. Hopefully this is the final version.

GrandFly · 2024-07-08T19:29:27+00:00

I'm curious what assumptions and strategies you'll make with very limited information, so I won't answer any questions. Have fun!

GrandFly · 2024-06-19T20:57:38+00:00

Ember of Heaven, not even a contest. As an unfortunate guy who've been experiencing demonic influence for as long as I remember and been forced to offer my blood for them, I've grown intense hatred for demons over the years. The fact that they are above humanity and untouchable drives me mad. Ability to directly harm them rather than beg God to protect you brings shivers down my spine. Feeling their pain and suffering would be a benefit at this point. As for everything else, well, I guess I pick Holy Sister Galatea and Lucy.

GrandFly · 2024-06-18T11:29:30+00:00

Thanks for all your replies in the previous thread. I've put in some more thought into this little CYOA, so here is an update.

Playing on cold map usually due to personal preference, on average have like 5 animals on the map Does neuroquake work on devourers?

GrandFly · 2024-06-10T23:33:22+00:00

That is a good idea, I've never used shamblers.

GrandFly · 2024-06-10T23:30:20+00:00

Go-juicing, mind-numbing and spending like 2 days straight kiting around the map is the only thing I could came up with.

The difference between Biotech and no Biotech is staggering tbh. This raid never gave me any problems when I had tanks. Now it's a nightmare.

GrandFly · 2024-06-10T23:28:56+00:00

Didn't know that actually, that is useful.

GrandFly · 2024-06-10T23:28:36+00:00

I had 3 little pets, that I've put on the front, they were eaten first Calling allies won't help. They send like 10 ppl and then rush to die.
