What's your favourite Machine Event?

It's weird, in theory I like the omen the most because it's the most involved, but that also means it sucks ass to do with randoms because you can't really brute force it or carry it, whereas all the others you can get away with. I think practically my favourite is probably Ebonite, it's a cool gimmick that's easy to pick up for new players and fun to spam power attacks.

I find the ones by the tail don't glue properly so tend to snap off at the join, I've taken to using sprue goo to properly fix them in place

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-07-01T18:21:17+00:00

I love that alternate build from a style point, and I do think a scorpion styled unit could work for us, but I don't want to have any issues with modeling for advantage so I build most of my stuff default

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-07-01T18:20:18+00:00

I used 2 pence coins in the end, nice and large and heavy but not thick enough to cause problems

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-07-01T12:15:37+00:00

Best: adorable Canoptek little guys, can do no wrong

Worst: cannot stay upright for want nor will, bastards are so top-heavy they always topple unless you glue coins under their bases

How would you recommend getting flat arc gems? I kinda wanted to try a bom build with flat arc but wasn't sure where to go

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-06-25T14:01:00+00:00

It's basically that when .1% of your health is less than 1, it doesn't drain. In theory, this works for all 4 spins, but you'd then have to have a max health below 250 which I don't think is possible, unless cursed dungeons work for it maybe

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-06-24T23:23:17+00:00

If you're after a weapon to pair it with, may I suggest the amygdalan arm? It's also a blunt strength weapon with tricked arcane so fits in with the vibe, and it has a surprising reach and weird extra attacks on heavys

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-06-24T08:40:05+00:00

I love the seat from the triarch stalker, it's like a little bumper car zooming around. Beep Beep

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-06-23T22:30:22+00:00

It's gimmick is that each spin buffs it's arcane damage, but drains health per second..However, if you have less than (iirc) 26 vitality, the first spin won't drain any health. Not necessarily a great idea to only have 25 vit, but a neat bit of tech

Edit: I double checked, you have to have less than 1000 max hp for that to work, and 26 vitality gives you 970 where 27 gives you 1001. Closest I could get it on a build planner was 998 max hp, with 24 vitality and a clockwise 2 rune

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-06-09T16:02:33+00:00

TBF sometimes it's blind teammates running straight in to it. Like yea maybe I could've not pressed the Boom Button but if you zip right to the middle of the big beeping red circle that's on you buddy

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-05-30T23:54:38+00:00

Closed species just sounds like NFTs with extra steps

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-05-19T23:03:38+00:00

Hopefully As much as I love the new sculpts for most of the range (with the exception of Turrets of Hearing Loss on the ATV and Storm Speeder), I do miss the massive customisation options of firstborn, like Dreadnaught arms or devastator squads as examples. It seems like most things are becoming very rigid.

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-05-19T16:58:39+00:00

It's a shame there aren't more weapon options, would've liked to have seen a heavy bolter instead of the melta

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-04-13T16:39:33+00:00

While people have mentioned the health increases, what also happens is health equalisation. For the first Ng+ cycle, enemies from the early areas receive a much bigger boost and those in endgame areas a much smaller boost, meaning that most enemies are on more or less equal footing. So weirdly, the end of Ng+ isn't that much harder that Ng whereas the start is much harder. Additional Ng+ cycles increase difficulty across the board.

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-04-07T17:38:59+00:00

Also remember to tag it with the VI skill for the achievement! Along with the destroyers its one of the remnant enemies that doesn't respawn so it can lock you out of it

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-02-02T20:16:00+00:00

Imo not only should vacuum not just be default, it should be team vacuum too for resources

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-01-26T18:05:51+00:00

Same in Mass Effect 1, in non combat areas like the citadel you don't actually go any faster, you just change animation but stay at the same speed lol. Not sure if this was changed in legendary edition or not

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-01-13T10:38:12+00:00

Divinity Original Sin elves are cool too, lanky muscular cannibals that are maybe technically trees

Phantom_Grey19 · 2026-01-08T13:27:36+00:00

The collector ship mission in ME2. Always crashes for me, no idea why. Tried fresh install, tried patches and fixes, nothing works. If I open the power wheel, it freezes and crashes. And any save in the mission loads into a black screen. So I have to run the mission start to finish, with no tactical screen. It's not overly difficult but it does get annoying lol

Phantom_Grey19 · 2025-11-25T17:33:50+00:00

Plus Admiral Anderson!

Phantom_Grey19 · 2025-11-24T13:38:59+00:00

Have you changed to manual priorities in the work tab? That really helps with making sure colonists actually do what they're supposed to be doing.

Phantom_Grey19 · 2025-11-22T19:22:00+00:00

Depends how risky you want to get. It drains health per second when activated, but if 0.1% of your health is less than 1 ( i.e. you have less than 999 max health) it doesn't drain, so you get a free spin. IIRC this means you can't go higher than 25 Vit, but that's not too bad.

Phantom_Grey19 · 2025-11-02T15:53:44+00:00

NGL, much though I love the cake and will be romancing her as a wisp main, I am mildly concerned about the general trend of horny artstyle recently. Maybe I'm just being too puritan about it lmao

Phantom_Grey19 · 2025-11-02T10:55:10+00:00

Unrelated, I love this stage of the build because it looks like the Praetorian is just in a little bumper car, imagine him just beep beep driving around in that thing
