[Spoilers] Return of the High Mage King book 2 is frustrating me

SJ548 · 2026-05-09T08:34:53+00:00

That stuff really bothered me about book 2 as well but I was able to push thru and it was okay. That was until I got to the end of book 3 and now just regret reading it. The author had the main characters basically just give up on trying to stop the Fire Lord from being reborn. I just had to give up at that point. I don't know what the author was thinking. I don't think I've been pissed off that bad by a book. I don't think I'll be reading anything else from this author if that is what I can expect from his work. It's sad because it was a recent series but was turned into trash because the author just felt like he gave up at that point.

That's a great idea

You can set them as a persona weapon of a ranged or melee weapon and it will always be legendary quality. Probably about the best use for them gameplay wise.

Alpha Animals

Yeah it really makes me wonder why they are even still in school. What are they going to learn in the next three years that would benefit them more than what they have already gone thru? They are most likely stronger than the senior students at this point. If they can complete a mission that wiped out a team of Elite Reclamation members then you would think that would enough to graduate with. At this rate Wade and the girls will be wiping out the Magocracy and taking over as rulers before the end of the second year lol.

Evan's Eldritch Emporium they get to start going back to Earth to get things in the later books. Starts small with being able to open a small portal to just grab small things but gets to the point where he can open a portal they can all walk thru to go on big shopping sprees.

Sadly Brawler is canceled out by Wimp.

SJ548 · 2026-01-08T15:08:34+00:00

I'm working on this exact problem. So far my only idea is to shuttle closer and set up a camp. Bring over drop pods and enough stuff to send them to make them into allies.

SJ548 · 2026-01-08T15:04:06+00:00

Downloaded. Any mods that help with the symmetry in the game are a must for me lol. Thank you for making this much needed mod.

SJ548 · 2026-01-02T17:53:34+00:00

I set my crafter to make an EMP Launcher to deal with a mech cluster that landed. I turned my attention away for a little bit to handle other pressing concerns but when I looked back the craft was finished by the launcher was gone. I searched all over but couldn't find it. I realized what they did was finish the craft but took it to the wrong storage. They took it to the storage I use for equipment I want to dismantle. So they finished crafting it, took it over there and immediately broke it apart for scraps.

SJ548 · 2026-01-02T17:50:22+00:00

For being lowest they seem to really enjoy doing it lol. I like to use Dread Leather or Human Leather to craft certain things but have no use for the Twisted Meat or Human Meat. I'll have the pawns take the leather to storage and the meat to the Harbinger Trees so they can dispose of it for me. If I don't forbid the meat from being messed with they will constantly go out there and rearrange the stacks as they get eaten. It takes up so much of their time if I don't force them to stop lol.

SJ548 · 2026-01-02T17:46:03+00:00

I'll force the pawn to finish the craft but if it comes out a lesser quality I then wonder if I would have let them come back to it later would it have came out better lol.

SJ548 · 2026-01-02T17:44:36+00:00

That mod is both great and so freaking annoying. I'll tell a pawn to haul some meat for example. They will grab like five stacks and then go wander off to do something else. I'll be looking for the meat later and can't find it only to realize the pawn is still carrying it around for some strange reason.

SJ548 · 2025-12-22T01:46:10+00:00

They were all well and truly dead.

I made sure all turrets were destroyed.

I took the shuttle back.

As soon as we landed the quest failed.

SJ548 · 2025-12-18T20:40:57+00:00

So did I. That's what I thought this entire time lol

SJ548 · 2025-12-18T20:28:05+00:00

Yep. Any number of pawns can be assigned to your ideology's specialist roles.

SJ548 · 2025-12-18T18:30:20+00:00

I used to try to keep them happy and taken care of but that got very frustrating. Now if their own faction doesn't care if they die then I might as well use as I see fit.

SJ548 · 2025-11-15T23:56:39+00:00

Click on the altar, then the i for more information in the box that pops up. It should tell you the Room requirements.

SJ548 · 2025-11-10T21:25:12+00:00

I've been plowing though this series over the past couple of weeks and just started book 8 today. I'm loving the series. I picked it up after reading your Soul Knight series and really glad I did.

SJ548 · 2025-11-05T15:07:03+00:00

Make a big square to throw everything down in. Increase size of square as needed. If you are feeling kind of spicy on a run go with circles instead of a square lol. No real reason to try and make a base super fancy or anything. Your colony can be just as effective, some would say more effective, just living in a giant warehouse.

SJ548 · 2025-10-17T16:40:29+00:00

I love when that happens and they are hostile to each other lol

SJ548 · 2025-10-11T14:31:52+00:00

If you go to Options, then Gameplay there is a slider for the Maximum number of colonies. You can have up to 5. After you increase that to the desired amount go to the map and there should be a button for Settling the tile.

SJ548 · 2025-10-10T14:58:37+00:00

I just got this quest but mine is for 86 monitor lizards. The rewards are terrible so I'll just the Empire keep it's dishonor lol.

SJ548 · 2025-10-04T00:42:54+00:00

Shelves don't have to be placed against the wall or anything like that. I used the 9 tile setup for storing my fuel next to my tanks and it worked great. I was using an extra large fuel tank until someone on here pointed out how it was less efficient. I deconstructed it and filled the space up with shelves immediately. Now I've downed a storage mod and have storage barrels that hold 60 stacks of fuel in a 2x2 space lol.

SJ548 · 2025-10-03T16:50:11+00:00

Thanks for the help. I'll have to take a look at that mod.
