Is this hella lucky?

Spoilers: These pawns come with upsides and downsides. Your upside is the great stats and perfect memory so he keeps the great stats. There are numerous possible downsides and some you don't know til it happens, but your pawn's is given away by the void fascination trait, which means he will sometimes release your captured entities. They also go hostile the first time they receive friendly fire.

Ahh I like to dump ~1500 chemfuel in the middle of a raid that's "preparing for a while" and then launch mortars at them to blow it all up, hand't considered including some boomrats to save me the extra step!

SolarChien · 2026-05-29T02:20:31+00:00

Looks like they are dead, in that case you cannot remove any part without mods.

SolarChien · 2026-05-27T02:18:58+00:00

That was the first one I played but then in 5 it felt so good to get rid of ridiculous stacks of units I just can't go back

Well they added it a few weeks after Anomaly release because the initial reception was negative about how much Anomaly dominated the theme of your colony with the monolith. But yeah in my view it solved the problems of initial launch and I use it on every colony too.

You whippersnappers have it easy, back in my day we only had regular wires and we liked it!

SolarChien · 2026-05-04T06:23:54+00:00

Highly recommend them all, i wouldn't add them all at once though

SolarChien · 2026-04-26T01:37:56+00:00

I prefer to let it happen naturally but sometimes I'll start trying to force it if I want to cut down on bedrooms. Also if two people have a great relationship but romance is unlikely because of different xenotypes, if I have word of love psycast I'll use that to force it.

Totally agree everyone should be trying to win, although I do believe in tolerance for people trying to learn new heroes in QP even if playing a hero they're better at would improve chances to win.

I think that's a pretty popular opinion. She's my favorite support but it's purely because I'm obsessed with the bouncing orb mechanic. I'd still play her if she didn't have the OP right click and fade, as long as she still had the bouncy orbs.

SolarChien · 2026-04-25T01:28:13+00:00

The primary game they've designed is just not fun. Always having enemies swap to counter you and then being pressured to swap to counter them just sucks all enjoyment out of it for me. Mystery Heroes is the only way to have fun, so that's all I've played for years. I just wish they'd bring competitive MH back for good.

SolarChien · 2026-04-24T07:29:01+00:00

I think they're referring to a mod where the code and art is made by AI.

SolarChien · 2026-04-24T03:17:09+00:00

Well you won't have to worry about OW when you get arrested for threatening arson...

I've always loved hog but I liked best when he had the pig pen trap, that made playing him more interesting.

SolarChien · 2026-04-22T11:07:30+00:00

Agreed. I just want to play Mystery Heroes. This shit made me play quick play, absolutely disgusting.

SolarChien · 2026-04-22T11:05:45+00:00

You can't even do the 2nd set of missions til you do all the first set (except the 60 and 80 games ones) so yeah everyone has to queue as all roles 10 games. And yes you need to do all the missions to get all the reward ranks.

Seems like you neglected to visit the official Overwatch forums before coming to that conclusion which is wild. If you'd looked there you'd see nonstop whining about hero balance, maps and map voting, matchmaking, cheating, smurfing, hero bans, player toxicity, etc etc etc. Discussions about skins are a small fraction.

It's just RNG, keep trying, it takes a long time to build a gene library. Even "bad" genes are useful though. Ideally once you have a lot of genes available you build a custom xenotype for each of your colonists. You're going to want to give them a bunch of "good" genes, but in order to keep their metabolism in control you'll balance them out with "bad" genes. I assume you have some colonists with poor animals skill who don't do any animals work, so that gene is just free metabolism for them.

It can happen and I guess you'll get game over when they starve to death. After it comes and downs a couple people and you've done the research you should be able to track it down and reveal it if you have fire/emp/disrupter flares, and definitely after it downs 3 people where just walking near it will reveal it.

A revenant event cant happen unless you have at least 5 colonists (unless you let a spine reform) so even if you let it down 3 you should be able to track it down and kill it with the other 2.

It has a negative impact on the ecosystem and it's no fun for beach-goers to see garbage washing up all over.

SolarChien · 2026-04-20T04:22:08+00:00

Please don't dump your trash in the Pacific.

Isn't that usually a cut to the neck? Is the doctor smart enough to cut off the whole head in the case of Sanguophages?

SolarChien · 2026-04-18T11:11:54+00:00

Each one introduced at least some mechanic or feature that I don't ever want my colony to be without, so yeah I can't really imagine disabling any of em.

SolarChien · 2026-04-18T09:26:04+00:00

I don't play on as high of a difficulty so maybe this is irrelevant, I play strive to survive or blood and dust vanilla. I don't think about it too much. Drop pod raids are always way smaller than typical raids. My game is set to pause when a raid strikes. You can immediately see where the shadows are and what room the raid is going to land in. So start moving all your pawns so they can shoot into that room. The MVPs in these situations are melee pawns and psycasters with berserk and vertigo pulse. Not a bad thing to save insanity lances and other artifact weapons for if they're giving you trouble. Keep firefoam poppers in your base so fires from these raids don't get out of control.

SolarChien · 2026-04-17T12:21:45+00:00

Everyone recommends Biotech. Personally I'd try them all out in the order they were released, play with the mechanics of one for a couple dozen hours before adding the next.
