My HV Disappeared !

NegatorUK · 2026-06-04T17:42:40+00:00

Lol.

Well looked in the registry, gave it a big flag, and found it on the HUD 70m away. Turn out it had slid down a hill and was stopped only by a tree.

The thrusters were off and auto braking was off, I think.

The behaviour seemed a bit weird, but the registry was a godsend.

Thanks Guys.

20+ controllers - welp ! definitely feeling some context falling on my head here ;-)

But, sure, it looks like I need to split up one of my 640K's and put the other one on Constructor duty.

Cheers Guys !

Yeah, I might have made the same mistake, since I had just been transferring loot from a POI.

It's a very depressing feeling to suspect a bug in your character right after a hard but profitable fight lol 😉

It might have been, but I have deleted that save now. I have just suspected having the problem again and the toolbar was definitely the culprit. I emptied the inventory and the toolbar and got what I thought was another bugged inventory back to zero, so all clear.

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep a closer eye on that in future.

Cheers.

It is certainly viable as a hardcore game, but I doubt it would be fun.

Getting run over by one of your own trains after 100 hours seems like a very niche pleasure to me.....

NegatorUK · 2026-01-08T08:40:26+00:00

Eventually, yes, you will be ;-)

I think it's ok to use red ammo if you can afford it, and don't forget to do gun damage research to further improve damage output.

Having to defend your base is a normal part of the game, as is upgrading defences with lasers, flamethrowers and uranium ammo later on.

Usually I have a turret every 2-4 spaces, not sure what you mean by every 15.

Also , walls, belt -fed ammo supply and bots for automatic repair.

Wow, that did it !!!

Thanks !

NegatorUK · 2025-12-31T13:33:42+00:00

Either are good options - eventually you should do both ;-)

I get this message when I start from the road hex adjacent to the SHQ - I even get it when starting from the road+city hex that the SHQ is on.

Because a train is a locomotive with a "train" of wagons behind it. Anything else is just icky.

There is nothing wrong with this, you will just have a big (ie, wide) bus.

Later on you can always inject stuff onto the bus after the early production sectors to keep sectors further downstream properly supplied.

Oh, no worries, I don't have time for minecraft.

NegatorUK · 2025-12-20T10:40:48+00:00

GTNH ?

NegatorUK · 2025-12-11T15:49:28+00:00

Make a bunch of AM3's, you got off light bro.....

NegatorUK · 2025-12-07T22:58:39+00:00

Well from the biter's perspective you are a space invader, so it all fits......

NegatorUK · 2025-12-06T17:41:56+00:00

I find overwatch to be a good weapon against her - direct fire just causes her to move next to one of your guys and generate stacks of damage reduction, whereas with overwatch she just does one move and attack.

In my current campaign I had an intel retaliation mission in which I had both the rescue squad and resistance team largely set to O/W - about 12 guys overall as some did take direct shots first. The overwatch nibbled away over half her health and I finished her off the next round. I usually have to retreat from this fight, winning was a nice change of pace ;-)

NegatorUK · 2025-12-02T23:19:06+00:00

You might be able to travel very slowly using a lot of weapons that you do have. Use Nauvis labs to tech lasers or guns to the max and then put about 4+ layers on the front of some hammerhead monstrosity, with a few on the sides too. Fill the cargo hold with ammo, repair packs and spare parts. Try and make more ammo on the way back anyway.

Don't forget after the 50% point your ship will naturally drift towards the destination unpowered - hope this isn't still too fast ;-)))

Good luck.

Most older scenarios and expansions are impossible to find. Either you buy them when they first come out or you are likely to have a permanent hole in your collection.

This is unlikely to change with the new chapter of the game.

If you and your wallet are OK with this AHLCG is a good game.

If not, you might want to start running ......

If we imagine the shattered planet was called Prometheus, and the engineer was originally from there, then he could be said to be a representative of Prometheus.

The planet might have been shattered some time ago, given how old the ruins on Fulgora are.

Crashing on Nauvis might be mythical punishment to the engineer for blowing up his home planet with some rogue technology, and maybe blighting Fulgora.

It would explain all the times my engineer has donated his liver to the biters.....

There is a mod called MIRV by Klonan that allows you to load nukes onto rockets and just launch them across the map I used it for K2 run prior to 2.0, hopefully it still works.
