Angry Diplomat posted:The "gently caress Intelligence, get swole" fighty Artifex build recommended upthread is really dang good, wow. I've got an absolutely murderous axe-swinging, Eigenrifle-toting True Kin who just stomped the unspeakable hell out of Bethesda Susa. That's partly due to being bros with the Mechanimists thanks to a rampage through a historic site crammed with glow-wight heroes that absolutely everyone hated, but this dude just totally chumped everything in his path, slaughtering Cragmensch with ease and hilariously clowning all three troll bosses thanks to a hologram bracelet and liberal Eigenrifle application.  What's your particular build/stat allocation there?

I have my flaming ick ingredients ready, but I have a tiny problem. I haven't seen a canteen the entire goddamn game. I have clay jugs, I have oilskins, I have glass jars, I have water skins, I have not seen a goddamn canteen. Can I just light my clay jugs on fire? Or toast an oil skin or something?

Feature request: Build library uploaded to the Steam Cloud. Got to work early, wanted to play around with a build I was using last night at home a few times (but it wasn't my latest build, does the latest get uploaded?), and had no one in my library. Is this a huge ask, or relatively trivial? Also, is there anyone else who would like this, or am I in the minority? EDIT: Also, synthbuttrange, just added you on Steam as I saw you had reviewed this game. Kind of surprised I didn't already have you on there.

 This gave me decent combat stats right from the get-go, with tons of flexibility as the game went on. No glaring weaknesses, either. I invested in the intro bows&rifles skills plus Kickback and then went into Heavy Weapons but that didn't really produce much in the way of dividends; on the other hand, it synergizes well with my "just dump most levelup points in Strength and be really good at axes" strategy, and rocking a Slender Chaingun with weight 3 due to the halved-weapon-weight skill was certainly entertaining up until I traded up to the Eigenrifle. Really need to find myself a flamer though.

Ugh, I basically have a game over since my face spores aggro'd all of the Barathrumites during the Call to Arms quest. Is there a way those could be set to only harm already hostile factions? It was a big pain trying to manage that the whole playthrough.

Okay I think I really like the Asphalt mines for loot diving. It's pretty neat, there's all kinds of stuff and if you go deep enough and have glass vials, you might even try getting bottles of lava for fun and profit.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Man, how do you all get so far in this game? I know that's the equivalent of asking "how will I ever ring the bells?" in Dark Souls, but I mean... Goddamn In a nutshell, run the gently caress away from threats all the time, and to identify threats: bind Look to a key you can comfortably use so you look at everything all the goddamn time and run away if you don't know how to kill it. That's probably my #1 piece of generalized advice, with #2 being "scum until you can get buff/until you learn how to get buff without scumming." By that I mean for a while, every character I had grinded glowfish until level 3, then carefully went to the rustwells without going overland so I could collect more food/kill snapjaws on the way/not get lost and be hosed if I run into deadly poo poo. I don't really remember what culminated in me being able to drop that playstyle. Similarly, I played almost every character with Carapace and/or freezing until I got comfortable without either. I seriously want to schedule a stream of a starter game of Qud and explain why I do a bunch of poo poo, including some limited scumming, but I'm sort of dragging my feet (also barely able to actually make a new OP which I should really just do since I got a decent amount of content between what I posted before and what people have contributed). Plus that means I have to not play my current character, heh. I love Qud because I can basically play it like Diablo Hardcore in terms of just diving and getting loot, but there's also a nifty story filled with fungal bullshit! Vietnom nom nom posted:FYI, Bear Corpses (whole ones) are good money early game. In fact they're worth so much I wonder if it's a bug. Interesting, I would've never thought to check this, but looking at ObjectBlueprints, bear corpses only weigh 40 pounds (for reference snapjaw corpses weigh 120 for whatever reason, so that's DEFINITELY wrong) and are worth a base of $100 (vs, again for context, bear jerky's *$1*). Thematically it makes sense, in that a bear corpse can do a lot in a post-apoc society (meat, fur, claws/teeth, even a bone-shiv, even though none of that is really implemented aside from raw bear meat and jerky). I bet bear corpses are supposed to weigh 400 since a ton of other bigass animal corpses do (amoebas iirc, electric slugs, off the top of my head). I... play and dissect this game entirely too drat much. Tempora Mutantur fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Jan 3, 2017 |

So what can I actually do with a hoversled? This is the second time I've found one, and while it's equippable it doesn't say what if anything it does.

While its equipped it lowers your current weight by a poo poo ton, letting you carry a lot more.

From there you're basically past what I'd call the "early game." I usually head down to Kyakuya to get Corpus Choliys, then recoil to Grit Gate and head to the Six Day Stilt for disease cure ingredients and schematics. Once I'm set for glotrot and ironshank and I feel tough enough, I do Gologotha. If you get one of the really bad chutes (chute crabs, electricity), you should get off that conveyor ASAP and get onto another one. Fire and acid are much more manageable. Oh, and it's worth bringing as many HE or thermal grenades as you can hoard to Golgotha. You can use them to blast yourself a path through the sludge to minimize the number of times a sewage eel can grab you. Dachshundofdoom fucked around with this message at 10:09 on Jan 3, 2017 |

Okay, stupid question time. Is there a way to do A Call To Arms easily as an upstanding member with the Putus templar? Or should I just stand back and chuck grenades at them, because it's as far as I've gotten. Side note: I had to turn permadeath off because holy poo poo do the full screen color filters wreck my ability to see and play the game.

Thanks for all the tips, guys! A few I knew already, but probably kept forgetting (like don't get swarmed... it's very 'duh!', but it kept happening, and I would forget to sprint away). Also, I tried out the minimap, and it's very neat, but it's a shame that it stays there on top of your stat screen. I realize it was just implemented, so there'll most likely be changes and fixes. I have to wonder, though... with a game like this, where every area is a full screen's worth, don't you already kind of have a map anyway, just by looking at the screen/gameplay area itself?
