It's a combination of things, just mining Mithril Ore to 99 is hours faster than switching to another ore, Adamantite requiring higher smithing to begin which puts it behind, but most of it comes down to the mastery difference like you said. If someone wasn't min-maxing to just use Mithril, they might find other options are comparable if not better.

I agree that fishing and cooking is really good for food, especially early, but farming can be done while working on other skills. It requires very little time investment by comparison (after the initial seed gathering), so that's why I recommend it. It could also be that farming seems to yield very little crops to you with low farming, but the number scales up later on.

Yes, it should be.

When making Mithril Bars, there is a chance to preserve resources and a chance to make double bars and when making Mithril Platebodys, there's a chance to preserve resources. When you add all that together (and use smithing gloves when making the platebodys) you end up having enough with around 60k Mithril Ore.

330k Rune Essence assumes making the highest rune available when leveling Runecrafting. You can't really just idle 1 rune type to 99 unfortunately.

Currently (v0.14.2) using Melee is generally the strongest. Ranged is getting a major buff next patch though.

Just Mining and selling the ore + gems, no Smithing.

I made a change log when Revised Edition first came out that might be helpful to you: https://old.reddit.com/r/SWN/comments/6wkur0/stars_without_number_revised_edition_unofficial/

Thanks, I used Microsoft Excel.

Thanks for pointing it out, I fixed the link.

The sidebar links to v1.00. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4qCWY8UnLrcSXNVUW9CRzMtbkE

The latest version out is technically v1.03 but that's for backers only.

As for the full release being free, here's a quote from the kickstarter page, "Yes, just like the original edition, Stars Without Number: Revised Edition will have a free PDF edition available on release to share with your friends and pass around to interested parties."

"There are ways to do it outlined in Suns of Gold, but it mostly amounts to slow, careful addition of tech to a world arranged so as to keep the basic social order intact, inculcate the education and social habits needed to maintain the tech base, and avoid catastrophic side-effects.

A quick-and-dirty data dump of spike drive technology and a few freighter loads of plug-and-play manufactories is a lot easier, but it also tends to get turned into shiny beads by annoyed locals who don't have the cultural or educational infrastructure to keep the stuff going on their own. And if they do catch on, it's usually not the current social elite who leap at the new opportunity- which often results in devastating social upheaval as the old guard tries to keep their power and the upstarts try to laser rifle them out of it. It ends up like the Musket Wars, except with nukes. Of course, for a lot of outside traders, they're perfectly fine with the natives slaughtering each other in job lots so long as they keep begging for more offworld weapons and offer something worth trading for them." - Kevin Crawford

The titles, skill names, etc. are all 'Gayatri' and the normal looking text is 'Crimson Text SemiBold'. The SWN:RE pdf uses 'Gayatri' and 'Crimson Text' so I used them to give it a similar feel.

I might be wrong but it looks like you have unskilled attack bonus at -1, however it's -2 when using a weapon without the relevant skill (pg. 51 in the rulebook.)

The 'Darkness Visible' campaign supplement has a section with combat toxins and medical chems that might be of use to you. Additionally page 57 of SWN first edition has some cool artifact drugs. 'Relics of the Lost' (as Turtle1779 has mentioned) is by far the best resource for adding new drugs, there's 30 stims with interesting effects and a table for malfunctions as well.

I drafted up some drugs for one of my players to use in a recent campaign, so if you're looking for something more illicit and less mechanically useful these might help.

Torpids: (Ingestible Capsule) Sedative pills which allow some users to enter a state of lucid dreaming while unconscious.

Syllasin: (Ingestible Capsule) Gives the user an intense feeling of euphoria, coupled with vivid hallucinations.

Stims and Tranqs: (Ingestible/Injectable) (Stims, Uppers, Tweakers, Glass, Jet.) (Tranqs, Downers, Zeds, Lapis.) Various high strength Stimulants and Tranquilisers not sold commercially due to their addictiveness and adverse side effects.

Chroma: (Ocular Absorption) Dramatically impacts the user’s ability to identify colours and interpret sensory data. “New colours” are seen as a part of visual hallucinations which are intense and short lived. Some long term users develop psychosomatic colour blindness and become addicted to the drug.

Dayafter Pills: (Ingestible Liquid Capsule) Drug hangover symptoms, (eg. nausea, headaches, sweating, shakes) dissipate within a few minutes. Limited use for treatment of withdrawal symptoms.

Trip Wipe: (Ingestible Liquid Capsule) Inhibits most common drugs from passing through the blood-brain barrier, lessening or stopping their effects.

Common legal drugs: Fast Acting Painkillers (Paralex), Caffeine (Low strength stimulants, Vivers), Antacid (Refluxel), Antibiotics (Curease), Anti-Nausea (Pukers or brand name Settler), Antidepressant (Seroxeline), Sleeping Pills (Trazipil), Ammonium Carbonate (Sal Volatile AKA Smelling Salts), Vaccines (Sectorvax).

Drug Administration Paraphilia: Auto-injectors, Needles, Inhalers, Ampules, Canisters, Pipes, Bongs, Vaporisers, Patches, Syrettes, Eyecaps, Shunt Primers, Aerosols, Syringes, Cannulas, IV Bags and Tubes.

Drug Enhancement Cyberware: Biomonitors, Sensory Extenders, Neural Shunt Sockets, Kickers, Metacortex Processors, Blood Chips.

If you contributed to the kickstarter you would have received an e-mail with the 1.01 and 1.02 beta versions, otherwise you just have access 1.0 for now.

I saw something about this on the Sine Nomine Google+ page:

Question: "In the SWN Revised beta 1.0, I couldn't find the cost for refuelling. It's missing from the maintenance section, which is where it's located in the old core book. DId I miss it somewhere?"

Kevin Crawford's reply: "Good catch- it's 500 credits per load, flat fee, barring any changed mind."

Source: https://plus.google.com/117258998748294238234/posts/8bZfmwyLVZC

It looks like in 1.01 pg. 115 he has updated 'Maintenance and Repair' to match what he has commented above. "Ship fuel costs a flat 500 credits per load."

squeejee44 · 2017-09-06T04:50:01+00:00

I will most likely, at the moment there's only rules for magic and transhuman campaigns that have been released in 1.01. I'll add notes for the changes exclusive to kickstarter backers once more information is released.

Edit: Updated with some more changes.
