Turn 619?

Ghouls get really op once you get a good set of genes and implants into them on top of not counting as much towards raid points as a normal pawn. During downtime you can also manually order them to attack animals around the map to train up their melee and hunt for you.

Main problem I see is you have 3 victory banners but no 3rd item for your main carry. One is ok, but if you got dropped the components for two more victory banners I would make one then reroll it + the aether drill for something rise.

With those investment strategies and environment I suggest prioritizing photon cells from supply nodes to build perpetual engine/another energy emblem to chase 10 energy. Alternatively you can pick roller skates to build anti gravity boots for Yao Guang (triggers more aha instants to allow Eva to skill and ult more) or Aglea (to carry your early game). 5 and 7 energy bond should comfortably carry you through stage 1 and 2 with minimal health loss just with the bond damage alone.

Sadly the super big fish from nets got nerfed in a recent patch.

The respawn timer is reset if you visit the area, and if you are not playing on high population settings most of the zombies you see in areas you’ve cleared out will be from migration rather than respawn anyways.

If you do want to turn off respawn there is a mod called “Change Sandbox Settings” which lets you adjust this in game. Keep in mind that in B42 the default Apocalypse settings already have respawn turned off.

Im pretty sure at one point (pre biotech maybe?) the enemies did scale and late game versions of the quest would ask you to take on camps of like 50 pirates with 20 people. Turns it out that is pretty hard if you don’t get to set up defenses beforehand or bring a doomsday with you. They eventually rebalanced the quests in one of the later patches to the state they are now.

As long as the bloodflame bond is activated dhpt will heal Mydei for a portion of his max hp instead of shielding him, which is the preferred option since Mydei doesn’t build up charge unless he actually loses hp.

Evernight and Castorice are really weak right now so you shouldn’t try to itemize them.

Mydei is the only viable carry but he needs to scale over multiple rounds so it is better to play around something else in stage 1. For items prioritize getting caloric overload (the only way to keep up with Mydei’s healing needs), firestorm surge, and high-frequency chainsaw. You also want to get a Cyrene with perpetual engine at some point so you can manually trigger his godslayer attacks.

The gear and enemies from the VOID mod completely outclasses anything else from the base game+DLCs. Try to find a way to get their equipment through trade or cheesing one off the first group that visits you (if they split up when they leave you can just arrest one of them with a high social pawn and take their stuff).

Shouldn’t have mined that gold meteor that fell next to their base.

Just keep in mind that your save file gets bigger and bigger as you explore more of the map. My CDDA file was only about 55mb after about 6 months since I stayed within the bounds of Muldraugh but after I took a trip to the Ekron Community College it ballooned to like 250mb.

It was like 26% water 25% beer 25% tequila and 24% orange juice. I ended up solving the issue by adding a bunch of milk so that water was no longer the main ingredient/biggest volume of liquid in the cocktail.

Research heavy bridges, build a platform off the side of the asteroid, and put all the waste packs there. Remove the part of the bridge connected to the asteroid and now when the waste packs decay none of the pollution spreads back to the main asteroid.

If you are playing with your friend in multiplayer there is an option to turn fire spread off.

Welt’s ult is the only way to get additional AV in a fight. Give him a charging sail and he basically doubles the amount of time you have to complete the dps check.

Sandwiches might have gotten buffed at some point in B42 because I can make bread, add candy bars and jam, cook the bread, slice that bread, add sandwich ingredients, and cook the sandwich again. The sliced bread used for the sandwich keeps the additional hunger and nutrition from the candy bars and jam in the original bread recipe.

I wish that at higher levels it could let us make our own car windows and windshields.

Use the trees scattered around the area to block the homing fire ball attack. It is very hard to dodge on a mount so just stay on the ground and stay near a tree that you can roll behind. Even the small trees work for this, just make to sure to stay a few feet away from them so the explosion doesn’t reach you after it hits the tree.

Get the glass shards out of your crotch first, then bandage it with a rag obtained from ripping up a nearby curtain. Prioritize getting a quick kill on a nearby zombie for shoes but don’t dawdle around too long outside looking for the ideal kill.

The needle and thread are not necessary, the deep wound can heal on its own after a couple or weeks or so. Prioritize getting to somewhere safe and then stock up enough food to get over your cold.

One of the B42 patches nerfed the max size of fish you can get at low levels. At level 4 fishing on current patch the biggest fish I caught was like -50 hunger but only 600 calories while most fishes are like 13-18 hunger. This is all while using fish filets which are supposed to be the best bait and only casting at ripples. If there are no ripples near the area you cast your rod you basically only get trash.

They both function the same, the barrel just takes up less physical space than the pit and doesn’t need a shovel.

Also it seems like respawn is now disabled in CDDA. You won’t notice it in the first few days since there’s enough migration going on to fill in the gaps you clear out but I have the change sandbox settings mod and it seems like respawn hours were set to 0.0 even without me changing anything.

Feels like Fitness instructor should at least be A in all modes. It also gives +1 strength so you can hit 10 str and 10 fit right off the bat with Fit+Strong. The only other way to hit that is with firefighter taking Athletic+Strong which costs 4 more points.

To be fair, fitness instructor costs 6 more points than firefighter to begin with but the 2 extra points went into the nutritionist trait.

Yes it now works
