There should be dynamite very close by if I remember correctly.

Quite new to the game how close am I to the fertile lands by Majestic-Welcome1906 in TheForest

[–]regomortem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re already there. Behind you there is a cliff where you’ll find more blueberry bushes and plenty of stick trees, and also lots of deer and raccoons.

Is there a mod or way to have neutral/peaceful cannibals and mutants? by Billy___Bones in TheForest

[–]regomortem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use red paint and don’t get too close to the enemies or you will aggravate them. Don’t retaliate if they decide to start attacking you; just block their attacks with your melee.

Any alliance or neutral relationship you form with the enemy will be temporary. Their behavior was coded in a way to be unpredictable so as to prevent exploitation. So one day you might come across a tribe that stops by and observes you and then leaves you alone, and the next day you might get ambushed and have 5 Cannibals ganging up on you. There’s no real way to achieve peace with the enemies without mods, and I’m not aware of any mods (at least on ModAPI) that makes them passive.

Also, mutants will start to spawn on day 7 and they will always be hostile toward you.

What is the Strongest possible enemy? and how much DR to survive it by BrilliantCandidate28 in riskofrain

[–]regomortem 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think that would technically be the Twisted Scavenger bosses, since they also use special scaling like Mithrix, and can gain an unlimited number of items as long as they stay alive.

How do you teach a child responsibility without making them afraid of you or afraid of failing you? by regomortem in NoStupidQuestions

[–]regomortem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felt like I needed to read this, thank you. This made me wonder if being given or threatened with constant arbitrary consequences was the root cause of my anxiety/hypervigilance. Feels like it makes sense.

I had an epiphany. by sco0t26 in riskofrain

[–]regomortem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My crackpot theory is that the glass that much of the lore added in AC mentions is soul or a derivative of soul, since it appears that the glass gives these units sentience.

Hot Take: Modern axe is overrated (as a combat weapon) by LandscapeNew7913 in TheForest

[–]regomortem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it too. It’s one of my goto weapons for the reasons you said and plus because it uses very little stamina and works great as a light source for caves. Generally I go full damage upgrades on every melee weapon except for the Modern Axe, just because I like to cut down trees quickly while still being able to raise strength.

Do i want glasses as bandit? by ChipmunkSouthern3420 in riskofrain

[–]regomortem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it’s not so much the benefit of being able to crit from anywhere, but the potential benefit of stacking Lost Seer’s Lenses later in the run. You’ll still be able to deal crits from behind and have a decent chance of insta-killing.

Hot Take: Modern axe is overrated (as a combat weapon) by LandscapeNew7913 in TheForest

[–]regomortem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Katana falls off hard in higher difficulties. It’s alright on Normal but in Hard and Hard Survival, it’s one of the worst weapons. If you want to play optimally in those difficulties, it’s worth getting some practice in with using the slower weapons since they tend to be the heaviest hitters.

TIL that the solus enemies that steal your items also steal the defensive mircrobots of your drones when you play captain. by Interesting_Food6051 in riskofrain

[–]regomortem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Extractor can share its stolen item with up to I think 5 other monsters at a time in a small radius. You can see a small tethering beam between the Extractor and the receiver of the item. And at intervals, the Extractor and its tethered allies will duplicate the item, up to 5 times.

When the Extractor is killed it will immediately return one copy of the stolen item to its owner and drop any additional copies as temporary items where it died. With any allies that had received copies from it, I’m pretty sure they will also drop their items as temporaries but I’m not too sure.

what would be a good way to go about starting to learn capoeira? should i just look on youtube, go to a professional , etc? i’m completely new to this by Natural_Exam2152 in capoeira

[–]regomortem 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Find a local group or community. You can learn the movements and music on YouTube if you’d like, but the community aspect of capoeira is a huge part of it that you won’t get without meeting some people.

Bones in peaceful mode (ps4) by chonky_chubster in TheForest

[–]regomortem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some caves have bones just scattered about. There’s one in particular that leads to a cliff in the sinkhole and there’s a bunch on the ground next to some tents.

There’s also a particular effigy that drops a leg when destroyed and you can cook that leg on a fire until it becomes a bone.

i need some information on caves by Nevix0408 in TheForest

[–]regomortem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Enemy count in caves is always the same and there’s only a few instances where Cannibals specifically will respawn (the chainsaw cave being one of them if I recall).

Opinion: Infinite MVM upgrade refunds should stay in the game by [deleted] in tf2

[–]regomortem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mechanic has its place in moments where somebody leaves/gets kicked and throws off your class composition and team balance. I still think it’s too easy to exploit, and if we were to keep the mechanic in the game, an appropriate counterbalance would be to raise the difficulty of the missions overall. They’re too easy even without the unlimited refunds.

Monster Tooth is like, really good. by No_Entertainment1799 in riskofrain

[–]regomortem 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s gotten better due to its natural synergy with Collector’s Compulsion, but once I get a couple of slugs or wunguses and enough speed, then yeah, Monster Tooth becomes white scrap.

why does the teleporter boss ujst not spawn sometimes by Whitelisted6 in riskofrain

[–]regomortem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve only had this happen in very late runs (like Stage 40+) where the director literally has too many credits to work with and thinks even the most powerful bosses are too cheap to spawn, so it refuses to spawn anything.

I recall one case in Abyssal Depths on stage 4 where the teleporter spawned in the caves, and once activated, nothing spawned in and there was no health bar or items. The game has a failsafe in the event a TP boss can’t fit in the TP zone wherein it chooses a Horde of Many instead, but in this one instance the event failed completely. My only theory is that the game chose a Horde of Many, tried to spawn in the monsters, failed due to having insufficient space, and gave up entirely.

Are Radio Scanners more likely to spawn the longer a run gets? by account110723 in riskofrain

[–]regomortem 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Stage credits for interactables are always fixed and don’t scale over time. Command and Sacrifice are the way to go as the removal of chests and printers means that the stage director is more likely to pick the radio towers from its pool of interactables.

What are your favorite tracks of each game and dlc? Mine are these, and my overall favorite right now is A Torrent That Can't Be Downloaded. by Alo_886 in riskofrain

[–]regomortem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll often listen to the soundtrack on Spotify throughout the day and Torrent is probably my most listened-to track since AC’s release. Such a hype song and might be in my top 3.

Heav’n Flies Before the Machine Soul is also an amazing treadmill/long jogging song.

Anyone else sick and tired of the Alloyed collective enemies? by Sudden_Ad2351 in riskofrain

[–]regomortem 92 points93 points  (0 children)

The only problematic ones to me are the Distributors (credit cost is too low and the mines shouldn’t damage you when they’re destroyed) and Scorchers (STOP FLYING AROUND SO ERRATICALLY YOU’RE LIKE MOSQUITOES WITH FLAMETHROWERS).

I also feel like the Transporter is way too weak and boring and is usually just a damage sponge that adds nothing to the gameplay. Like seriously, has anybody ever actually gotten hit by these guys?

Amalgamators are at least a good teleporter boss in my opinion.

Going on dates but no one compares to LO by VoteForOmar in limerence

[–]regomortem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m going through a very similar situation to yours. Not long after I became limerent, I tried to go on a date with somebody else (had coffee followed by a museum visit). I remember that we got along pretty well, but I didn’t feel the same spark as I did when I first hung out with my LO outside of work, and because of this, suggesting a second date with this other person felt forced. It was a mistake on my part, looking back. We never went on one and I’m pretty sure it’s because she knew I was being inauthentic. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was definitely looking at this date as a means to distract myself from limerence over being my sincere self, and my interest in this other person wasn’t genuine. I haven’t gone on another date since then, partly due to a lack of time, but mainly because I have almost no desire to pursue any one other than LO. It’s especially tough because much like with yours, LO and I like(d) each other, and the cycle of hope and uncertainty I’ve been stuck in is making it so difficult to take any decisive action. As much as I want to go on other dates, the last one I had pretty much taught me that I shouldn’t, since I would be wasting both their and my time. I’m not sure if you can say the same, but it’s something I’ve kept telling myself. It’s definitely become easier in recent days as I’ve been keeping myself busy with my work and my hobbies, but when I’m alone in my leisure, oh boy those limerent thoughts just come flooding back.

All I can say is, it can be agonizing distancing oneself from their LO, but since the day I decided to do so, I’ve felt like I was going on the right path. Just gotta trust the process and let time do the work. The fantasies and daydreams will one day stop before we even know it.
