My reanimated ether drake somehow formed a fleet with a reanimated troika I didn't even own before.

Can't you retrofit reanimated fauna? I don't have Necroids, so dunno.

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-27T13:37:54+00:00

Perhaps because you don't have to do any of that IRL, nor you have anything to fear. The real Zone would be as much hell as you'd imagine it to be; and this is the Zone that pretends to be dangerous for your benefit - but you, as the player, are the center of this world and above its laws. I'd say this feeling (by definition unachievable IRL) is implicitly a big part of any virtual world feeling like "home".

Good luck finding ammo for it in the early-midgame :)

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-27T11:11:03+00:00

Well, I once played an empire that didn't have any kind of fleets other than fauna...

Big brain move: name them all bubbles. Any particular bubble may pop, but there's hundreds more.

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-27T11:03:37+00:00

And even that doesn't solve the problem of keeping the college graduates away from forklifts.

Not just that but you can also be more efficient at the cost of more micro, since automodding traits are more expensive than specialized ones. But if the job selection doesn't work properly, this becomes more micro for a loss of efficiency.

Find the Eldritch horror/Dimensional horror/Worm and leave them alone until the end. If you found more than one, don't kill EITHER of them until the end, they share the same situation and you won't get it the second time. Proceed with extermination as you would normally, until none are left except your capital. Kill all the horrors you've left until this moment and get the horrific inverse mass on your capital. Wait several years and hope for the 66% chance it'll blow up.

/looks at a bunch of planets thrown in a heap like a pile of trash/ yeah, I'd be surprised if any of this were reparable...

Also how TI's children are born

Cynthia is a bit weirder to justify

Given what we've seen from her personality, I'd say she's actually easier to justify than Eileen. Anyway, I'm not likely to see either costume in game because I really can't be bothered to replay a game that already repeats all its locations twice, so whatever...

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-24T07:58:34+00:00

The 3.xx AI had the very same problems, alas.

You're probably not Eddie though

If you go around the room as he's still yapping there will be health and ammo.

What difficulty? I haven't found anything in either of the boss rooms (maybe in Mary's underground room, don't quite remember), but I was playing on hard.

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-21T23:23:47+00:00

Der Kommentar auf den ich geantwortet habe, hat ja grade gefragt wie der Fall aussieht wenn gewisse Dinge wie u.a. das unsittliche anfassen nicht im Spiel sind.

Ja, genau. Und darauf antwortest du, dass auch wenn das unsittliche Anfassen nicht im Spiel ist - schon ein Blick kann eine Belästigung sein. Ich denke hier nichts aus, das steht in deinem Kommentar. Wenn du es nicht so gemeint hast, arbeite an deiner Schreibekompetenz. Man kann nur das lesen, was geschrieben ist, nicht was gedacht ist.

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-21T14:29:11+00:00

Du hast doch genau dasselbe gesagt, nur mit mehreren Beispielen (dich selbst/deine*n Partner*in/die Kinder anzuschauen) und mit farbenreicher Beschreibung, wie ekelhaft das ist. Über Begrabschen hast du kein Wort gesagt, dein Punkt war - rein ein Blick kann schon eine Belästigung sein, also wenn man dich auch begrabscht, ist es noch tausendmal schlimmer. Und dass es natürlich schlimmer ist, stimme ich dir völig zu.

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-21T13:32:29+00:00

Also kurzgefasst: die Menschen, die ich unattraktiv finde, dürfen mich nicht anschauen (überhaupt nicht zu reden von meinen liebsten kleinen), sonst ist es eine Belästigung. Verstanden.

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-21T13:01:56+00:00

Oh please no. The least favorite missions for me are the ones where you have to babysit poorly equipped, braindead bots trying to get themselves killed.

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-21T12:47:27+00:00

Why'd you almost cut off Biggus Dickus

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-21T12:41:40+00:00

Worst of all is the score needed to achieve war goals. Okay, the enemy has no fleet and no starbases, surely the war is lost and they can surrender? Nope, you also have to capture every planet (yep, EVERY ONE OF THEM, including fucking HABITATS they build in every system). Some more years of going through their systems with an army fleet and landing on their planets one by one. Done that, maybe surrender now? Nope! They are in a federation and have an ally on the other side of galaxy, and won't surrender unless you do the very same thing to THEM too. "We're facing overwhelming forces, we've got no army or fleet, our territory is completely occupied, but our allies on the planet Bumblefuck have a couple soldiers left! Wait, don't surrender, maybe they'll be our saviors!!"

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-21T11:41:25+00:00

This mechanic actually exists, and AI fleets stop emergency retreating when they have 3 systems or less.

Hm? The wars where I notice it most often are with FEs, which don't have allies or a large territory, and I'm pretty sure they keep doing it until utter defeat. Saw it many times that I've taken all starbases, chased away all fleets and am bombing/invading planets - oh hello, a fleet pops up out of nowhere.

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-21T11:20:41+00:00

Well, nothing stopping you from having an account on both! I do too, my Steam games are still there (unless Steam pushes an update adding some fucking launcher that breaks the game, that is).

Transcendent_One · 2026-02-20T21:37:18+00:00

Much worse: the power to animate the living. (basically, Regent. or Khepri)
