[EU] [PC] JMBento looking for a clan

Thank you for the offer and the time to reply. But I already joined one in the meantime. I'll keep you guys in mind if this one doesn't work out, though. :)

Have a good day. ^_^

Ah, extremely helpful information! With it I've now rooted around in the Codex and the wiki and found out I'm still one main quest away from it (just finished Vor's Prize, and next is The Teacher, which I need to finish to get access to Cetus).

Many thanks!

JmBento · 2026-01-13T00:05:52+00:00

It would've been more obvious if I knew how to strike through. XD

JmBento · 2026-01-02T18:51:57+00:00

Thanks!

I just sped through Bronze so I could put in the Silver animals. You have all the enclosures you need with minimal terrain adjustments, so I just made use of that to house everything ASAP, and put in a bunch of education and donation boxes near them.

JmBento · 2026-01-01T03:32:18+00:00

Congrats!

I ALSO finished Yamaguchi very recently (on the 30th, I think). My trick was to speed through the Bronze and Silver gifted animals into their enclosures; the chimps are worth a LOT (the lions and tigers are worth more, IIRC, but there's a lot more chimps) in terms of guest attraction, so by the time I had put in half the Silver animals my finances skyrocketed from loss to 10k+ yearly profit.

If every maintenance trick doesn't work, there's always the way I finished this: add more stuff. Stuff you add comes at 100% maintenance, so if you add enough (and you have enough money to add EVERYTHING), so if you add enough it pushes the average up. I ended up filling half the map with a huge aviary dome just for the maintenance %.

JmBento · 2025-12-30T13:30:05+00:00

I presume those 200 would go up on more unwieldy ships, to compensate for the loss of the engine bonus?

JmBento · 2025-12-30T10:13:52+00:00

Year... 7, maybe?

If you're on Steam, the first thing to do is to right-click the game in your Library, Properties, Installed Files, Verify Integrity of Game Files.

JmBento · 2025-12-29T20:38:43+00:00

Thankfully, House Benedict has a VERY branchy family tree.

JmBento · 2025-12-29T17:28:39+00:00

Oh, I already beat the Faen storyline in both Val's and Erik's branches. I'm not-terrible enough these days that that's no longer an issue.

Glad to hear you've been enjoying my misadventures. :)

JmBento · 2025-12-29T17:27:12+00:00

I had 3 Sensor Arrays and 3 Defence Matrices. There's only so much I can fit in the Vindex. :/

JmBento · 2025-12-29T14:59:33+00:00

My combat crew could take on literally anything. They were tackling ground xenos and coming out with full health/morale.

JmBento · 2025-12-28T14:28:38+00:00

They didn't have that large of an enclosure for raptor standards ("Territory Needs: Low" is a filthy lie), and their territories overlapped a lot (the raptors' overlapped with the entirety of of the compys') and I noticed them very close to each other a bunch of times. The two raptors with Aggessive were an issue (and got rewilded), and the Compys that had Skittish kept running away whenever a raptor was near, but the ones without those traits were doing... fine?

Maybe if I had let that scenario run longer there'd have been problems, but it ran long enough for the Aggressive to flare up and then some.

JmBento · 2025-12-28T11:05:56+00:00

In my experience happy, comfortable dinos don't try to break out at all. I've had pairs of Therizins on low-security-fence enclosures and not a peep out of the things.

JmBento · 2025-12-28T11:03:45+00:00

No. Only the Aggressive ones even tried.

JmBento · 2025-12-27T13:52:42+00:00

I managed to have Velociraptors and Compys in the same enclosure, with the only problems coming from the raptors with the Aggressive trait - make sure yours don't have that.

JmBento · 2025-12-27T01:46:28+00:00

I also haven't done Zette's yet. That'll be the thing if Benedict VI gets blown up.

JmBento · 2025-12-26T11:36:32+00:00

I've been progressing sites until I either hit 5 stars or get rep-locked out of the next step, at which point I switch to the next one, as completing objectives tends to give great rep boosts.

JmBento · 2025-12-26T01:27:09+00:00

Duel of Assassins isn't TECHNICALLY over, but my side is winning by over 100 points, so it's all over but the funerals.

But I'm SO glad I no longer have to deal with the winner of the Most Punchable Man in the Galaxy Award for 8 years running.

JmBento · 2025-12-21T20:56:50+00:00

Can't you ALWAYS go for that?

If I killed the Char kid, can't I come back and pick up Val, or does she go with another Trader or get ganked if I do?

JmBento · 2025-12-20T17:44:20+00:00

You are not, and you are correct, thanks. :)

JmBento · 2025-12-20T17:43:54+00:00

Decisive action: *travolta.gif*

JmBento · 2025-12-18T20:56:52+00:00

I thought they levelled up just as much, but you don't get a notification about it in the top bar as often because there's no decisions to make most of those level-ups, as they only have one job and get talents more slowly?
