It's called survival of the fittest. If you can't slam with the best, jam with the rest.

Honestly Superthermal is worth it just for the Psychoshock/Superthermal combo alone. On hard it's a one-two combo kill on weavers if you have the right upgrades, and because they don't share a cooldown you can just nuke them (or anything smaller) instantly. Really messes up just about anything.

Is there a way to switch between those two powers instantly? I've been using the wheel each time I need to change. Assuming you can just hotkey them up/favorite them and I've been lazy about it.

there are five specific people you have to save to get it easily. I think it's that prisoner, igwe, elazar, Mikhaila, and someone else.

Superthermal is my go to for poltergeists since the burning effect will finish them off even if they go invisible again.

Assuming you're on PC, pull up the wheel and push a number while mousing over an ability to hotkey it. You can do items or weapons that way too or from the inventory.

Well I met a Nightmare. And put him away with the shotgun. Bad timing on his part, I had just stuck a bunch of upgrades into it. Had a fun perspective goof with him though. Thought he was small and in my face and shotgun resistant, but it turned out he was Very Big and Over There. I'm only playing on Easy because I like this game and ones like it mainly for exploring, but it was still satisfying.

Everyone needs to make it off of the station. This includes the prisoner in psychotronics, just letting him hang out there while everything blows up isn't enough.

Done Arboretum or at least a lot of it, done downstairs crew quarters that Poltergeist introduction in the bathroom was amazing, glad that was my first exposure to one, whacked the Nightmare a couple of times. poked around the bridge. Blew up the shuttle just in case, also grew a cool fruit, helped a cannibal and then walked into his obvious trap

Did a couple of Typhon upgrades, just mindjack and mimic but now turrets don't like me. Totally worth it though, that psi blast kicks rear end. Definitely going to go full on with Typhon stuff as well now. Plus I've got 50+ Psi stim things since I haven't had any Psi using things up until now. Was hoping mindjack fixed people properly rather than just knocked them out but it was easier than stun gunning them all anyway. I suppose from a silly roleplay view it's better for them. Will probably upgrade mimic to full eventually just for goofing around, only been a wineglass and a cup so far. Just went a bit wild with Neuromods and got the movement upgrades and also all the scope slots.

Is the Golden Gun just a straight upgrade? Probably should have asked that before I recycled my slightly upgraded pistol but oh well.

Nope, you can still get it. If the recycler charge in his escape pod goes off that doesn't count as you killing him. Alternatively, if you deactivate the recycler charge then he'll start laughing and then dies anyway, but that doesn't count as you killing him, either. But it makes Danielle happy so it's win-win

you can also just never go to that area.
"killing himself" is different form "killing him" which is what you said

I felt really bad for the fake cook. He had set all these recycler traps, but I had three of the suit chips that make you immune to recycler grenades, so... I just slotted one, and ignored them. And he never seemed to realize...

I actually found a note or book or something about a retired baseball player who came up to Talos 1 to get scanned and gave a bunch of people signed baseball gloves as gifts, but said that it seemed like no one really cared about the gloves so that's where I assumed they came from.

People on this station freaking love bananas, though.

Waaaait a second. One mimic doesn't bring even NEAR 20 neuromods' worth of exotic material. Even the insanely productive extraction apparatus only gave like...17? material for the four mimics.

I think it's 50% more damage at max upgrade, 25% more without upgrades. Quite respectably better.

its mentioned somewhere that recyclers and fabricators are less efficient than specialized equipment. presumably pulling typhon parts out with your bare hands isnt too efficient either

Oh, I just pieced together how the smuggling drop offs are hidden. Welp, gotta go open the rest up I guess. And I unlocked the first thing on the fire and electric powers, so I will be trying those out a bit soon.

Also I read there's some kind of movement enhancement thingy somewhere out in space, could someone tell me where please?

The Eels are actually justified in-game. They're part of the station's water treatment process.

aniviron

All of the fruit and meat have a justification to them- the eels are for sewage treatment and then food, while the plants were all picked for nutritional content. The lemons are for vitamin c (space scurvy yo), the bananas are for potassium, etc. At first it just felt like a large random collection of foodstuffs, but there's some pretty cool logic going on here, someone actually took the time to think about what sorts of stuff you would grow in space if you had to be efficient about it.
