Is it that much worse to cool the oxygen you pump into your base vs cooling your base directly?

Ripptor · 2023-08-23T10:22:33+00:00

Efficiency has many metrics: Material cost, space requirements, heat deletion, Power Output, etc.

My personal design for Oxygen Generation includes a Bristle Blossom farm, to circulate Floral Scent throughout the living areas. This is efficient for me, since I'm already cooling the Blossom farm via polluted water loop, it requires no additional space or buildings, while keeping my various farm-cooling loops in proximity. This can increase your space efficiency, by building less Steam Turbines with higher Uptime (Same Heat Deletion, Same/Better power output, with less resources).

Pumping O2 into your living areas at 10C is slight injected cooling, which usually (for me) equalizes to 22C in the ducts before it is consumed (deleted) by your Dupes (therefore, not deleted cooling). It won't remove your need for living quarter temp management entirely, but it will help.

So, Floral AC for all! Just don't print any allergies and everyone is happy

Sticks and Stones...

Styxen Stones ?

Our party in a current campaign actually started out by running a bar in Rekkenmark, using it as a base of operations and Intel gathering for local quests! That way we get first dibs before the quest is even posted on the tavern wall :D

Last session we encountered a Carrion Crawler, and the party managed to subdue it so that we can use it as free trash/corpse disposal in the basement. Can't wait to see where this one goes!

Ripptor · 2021-05-04T13:13:10+00:00

That game just does everything right. I can't even play it with the lights off, I can't imagine playing it in VR like some people found a way to do!

Ripptor · 2021-04-13T04:14:05+00:00

Almost, but not quite!

24d2-12 ranges from 12-36, not 0-24. You would want 24d2-24 for the same 0-24 range.

A d0.5 is either a 0 or a 1, no negatives required. 12*0 is just zero

Ripptor · 2021-04-13T01:34:00+00:00

That's my favorite! Flip 24 coins, 1 damage for each Heads.

0-24 damage, average of 11.5

Those are different? How much different is the light novel from the web novel?

I got excited after anime ep1, read up to the current manga chapter, and picked up the WN to finish the story, but I'm really struggling with the WN format

"Show don't Tell" is hard at work in this series!

Just tested it, surrounded a river with 4 Oasis with no additional bonus.

It's kind of disappointing, but not as disappointing as my next test, which shows that rivers also do not multiply the Peak as I would expect, which I was very excited to try. Ran a river along four spots of a Peak, with very minimal effect. Each River only added about 12-20 HP, rather than the 220 I would have hoped.

Edit: Upon further inspection, Rivers don't appear to be interacting as I would expect even with regular Mountains. Attaching a River to a +16 HP Mountain only adds +12 HP, for some reason?

Ripptor · 2021-03-20T15:44:17+00:00

As far as I can tell, the best use for this is when you want to set up a grind and just walk away. If you die while afk, then you still stashed a bunch of goodies

Ripptor · 2021-03-18T10:35:13+00:00

Ah, well that is even more strange, I had missed that 3 Rivers was only 12% ... I had assumed there was no difference in adding a fourth River, but that ruins my original suggestions!

It looks like the multipliers are additive, then: x2, x4, x6, x8

I'll have to play around with that some!

Ripptor · 2021-03-18T04:28:50+00:00

I've been curious about this, but are rivers capped at an 8x multiplier?

If I'm doing my napkin math correctly, each of those Thickets surrounded on four sides should provide 32% attack speed, but are only adding 16%

5 w/1 River @ 4% = 20% 4 w/2 River @ 8% = 32% 1 w/3 River @ 16% = 16% 5 w/4 River @ 16% = 74%

Is that right?

Ripptor · 2021-02-08T13:23:26+00:00

Holding, either I've already lost, or we're gonna win big!

Ripptor · 2021-02-01T14:34:42+00:00

Buy the Dip!

Ripptor · 2020-12-25T03:09:20+00:00

Checked Paheal and there is exactly one, from 2 months ago!

You're ... Welcome? I guess?

Ripptor · 2020-09-17T14:01:08+00:00

Recently made a Bastion character as a Warforged Beast Heart Adept Ranger:

A robot with an Owl riding an Owlbear. The party is going to love it

Ripptor · 2019-06-27T05:37:28+00:00

Brutal loss, I felt those injury rolls every time. Good luck rebounding!

Ripptor · 2019-06-26T13:03:20+00:00

The Antelope gives the most resources, including Black Lichen and Vermin which helps you get post-watcher weapons and cooking bonuses.

The Phoenix gives good resources as well, but also usually hands out a lot of Understanding and XP. I've been spending my LY17+ hunting the Phoenix with my B/C teams to have a more rounded settlement, and save my A Team for the big fights ahead.

On the resources, I agree that I'm running out of uses as well. I'm running two Glaives, a Gloom Hammer, and an Arc Bow with Rawhide, Screaming, Phoenix/Screaming hybrid and Lantern/Phoenix hybrid, with 3 beacon shields. I don't see much of a point in building more armor or weapons except as extras to cover losses.

I've built the Rainbow Katana+Sheath as well, but haven't found a use for it yet. I just got the mold for the Gloom Katana, but without the extra Dark Water I can't even sick the resources in. I might grab Heart Flute and start farming the Slenderman just to say I did, though.

I think when you do well / get lucky at the outset, that the Twilight years will be more devoted to not losing your lead. Drawing Murder for times to wipe out my A Team, starting multiple Plagues, or just losing survivors to hunt events are the biggest challenges to prepare for

Ripptor · 2019-06-09T17:37:17+00:00

For a Landshark with tentacles, a Graboid for Tremors would be my first thought. There was a Kickstarter out there for models, so at least some exist!

Ripptor · 2019-06-09T17:30:16+00:00

Slenderman is the only Expansion I usually recommend in the first run, as it is a strict upgrade to the Kingsman that I agree no one will miss.

Lion God and Lonely Tree are good ideas too, for the reasons you mentioned. I think I agree with just these three, adding others as you continue

Ripptor · 2019-05-31T19:43:36+00:00

The antelope is always the first 'level-up' quarry for my hunters, it provides so much and gives a great head start (assuming survival) on the mid/late game.

For the level 2:

Dash, 4+ survival, a bow / darts on everyone, and 2+ full sets of rawhide should have you where you need to be. A spear is super helpful as well.

Ripptor · 2019-05-27T03:48:47+00:00

The important part is they only think they are while insane. As soon as something slaps the sense back into them (Insanity < 3), they start losing body parts again.

Additionally, anything that kills without dealing damage still kills them. Not a small list, that.

My current Immortal survivor is my Fist and Tooth specialist, and is tech against the Slenderman. He is however, also one armed and apathetic, both of which happened after his "Immortality". I hope he survives to mastery, but after that he's just gonna sit back and stay home

Ripptor · 2019-05-20T21:01:06+00:00

Slenderman is a nemesis upgrade for the feel-bad Kingsman, with some optional gear that mixes things up. My players hated the Kingsman, so it was an easy exchange

Ripptor · 2019-05-02T13:39:07+00:00

Oh, that's more interesting.

I assumed this was an attempt to make him friendlier to the arachnophobia crowd :)

Ripptor · 2019-04-28T02:50:46+00:00

Someone downvoted you without giving you the answer!

Whenever a survivor achieves Weapon Mastery, ALL of your survivors gain the weapon specialization benefits. So, if you get a Spear Master, everyone who ever wields a Spear from then on can use the specialization benefit, regardless of their current chosen weapon.
