This is a great game, it's crazy annoying when you are farming and giant lizards eat everything due to your poor fences

Herstory Begins Now posted:Ahahahaha I've never built it so I didn't know it was meant to be a torture thing. I guess that makes sense, a ton of the posts about this game seem like they're written by teenagers and they're all about letting the people who annoy them crawl around in the dirt with no legs or tossing their enemies into beak thing nests and selling people into slavery. I don't really mind the getting eaten alive because when it happens your character is usually unconscious. Its just the five minutes of "oh god stop it hurts" that make me kinda go "whoa dude". Definitely into giving a holy nation leader a robo leg so he gets attacked by his own troops though, that shits hilarious. With building a base, it really does depend on where you set up, but holy nation territory is pretty safe so long as you follow their laws (no shek or robots, need a male greenlander with a book called "the holy flame", pray whenever the priest comes by). Downside is if a guy loses a leg you can't replace it with a prosthetic. One of my games I was settled there and a guy lost a leg and couldn't get anywhere. Instead of letting him go i've just put the wheat/flour/bread machines all next to eachother and he just moves very little.

Attack the lizards with one guy and the mercs will step in. They say they have looting rights but you're actually fine to loot them, mercs just want to take gear that's better than theirs (or worse, i've got a mercenary captain who replaced his plate with a rag shirt). The leather and meat you get more than pays for the mercs. Bonus if you tag the lizard with a turret user so you can train that up too.

They added the groundwork for it in the last patch or two, even. A lot of stuff involving settlements is being held off until the map is finished (which is what they're doing now) but stuff like killing faction leaders and them getting replacements, as well as (I believe) certain factions taking over certain other places if conditions are met.

I prefer training my people up on paladins or other high powered guys as the opportunity presents. Training on dummies is so dull and anti-fun. I'll do the first 13-14 points on a dummy mk3 and from then on it's the real deal. Though since my preferred recruits are freed outlaw farmer/bandit slaves they usually have pretty close to the mk3 dummy limit when they start anyways. My main sneak dude always ends up with like a billion sneak/assassination skill so if i see some small group of badasses from a faction i don't like wandering around I'll clock them on the back of the head, confiscate their weapons, run in my low skill guys to slowly beat the poo poo out of them with lovely rusty weapons when they wake up. There is pretty close to zero risk doing this as your sneak guy will inevitably end up being able to run like 20 miles an hour while sneaking so failed KO's just mean you run away instead of beating them up. If you want, after the first beat down you can always kidnap them and bring them home to your arena for future sessions. Also the current experimental branch has a rad bug that deletes your towns or reverts purchased town buildings back to their default state, deleting all items you had stored there so be mindful of that. EDIT: annnd there's a note in today's patch saying that's fixed

I’m hoping there’s more squad automation in the future. I feel as if I have to keep my eyes on everyone at the same time. Making sure the miners keep mining, my soldiers are training, dudes are all well fed... Hypothetically seems easy if I have this all under one roof but I can’t afford that. It’s just tedious when your squad is spanned across a large area.

I've had no issues automating feeding and mining and such even with a distributed set of squads. As long as stuff is moderately close together they will run between buildings to eat and store things or do whatever. Just have to make sure you lay it out to minimize the possibility of them getting stuck on poo poo. Main annoyance is repelling attacks as it's rather hard to maintain defense on multiple places. It's easier to just have one main outpost and have any alternate locations just be purchased buildings in friendly towns.

Imo you aren't really meant to get some ridiculous sprawling mega city. There's really no point as the benefits don't scale to the amount of work, nor is anything besides edgewalker/meitou weapons and maybe AI cores actually very scarce. The game really lacks an endgame at the moment, though you can tell that's a major priority of the devs rn. Once you're strong enough to kill the emperor of the united cities and deal with the generals they send to raid you, there's really nothing left but to sight see. Frankly wandering around overpowered af and just taking in the sites and butchering anything that looks at you funny is the end game. There's also quite a bit of surprisingly good lore scattered around that ultimately gives some insight into the weird af landscape and ruins and the histories of the various factions, etc. As soon as the game feels tedious I'd just load up one of the harder starts and start over. The one armed, unarmed, broke, naked guy start is fun af. There are also some really brutal starts on the workshop to spice things up. I generally don't really care for the role playing aspect of RPGs, but Kenshi starts you off so week you effectively have to roleplay either a thief or some military tagalong or a town artisan for the first couple hours.

I decided to set up a town on the northern edge of the swamp, and now every group that visits has for some reason decided to stay indefinitely. There's a tech hunter squad whose contract ended days ago, a group of mercenaries, and most recently a massive caravan of nomads and their animals. There's like 25 guys and a bunch of farm animals just hanging around and destroying anyone who dares to come in through the gate. I assume this is a bug or something cause this is just unfair to the guys trying to attack my town.

Stark Fist posted:Indeed. Just to auto sell my copper would be enough... your dudes will auto-drop-off from surprisingly far away (it even works with the northwest deposit that's halfway to the other bar) and the storm house and bughouse next to the bar should be within building inventory range so you can have someone stand next to the vendor and dump all your copper without having to move at all. the west storm house behind the two shacks is just slightly too far, so if you use that one you'll have to run over to the bar door to get more copper from the box.

Yeah i found a real good place to set up on the edge of the swamp. It has armies of starving bandits (i saw 30 of them take down a beak thing before butchering it). It's not to far from the Grayflayer village and i've only seen a couple of blood spiders. Once I get my Iron refinery and farms up it'll be a good place to train up my guys and i've joined a gang, apparently. The gang seems pretty helpful, costs 2000 cats every other day to stay in it but i'm in the swamps, i'm literally swimming in animal parts. There is a copper and an iron mine inside my walls, so the next step is to just upgrade my walls and finish off my research before I start exploring. The hungry bandit attacks are absolutely fantastic for training up my new recruits. Zero danger, but they'll get the poo poo kicked out of them so often their toughness is gonna go through the roof. Gonna keep the newbies on guard duty for now.

TIL you can get a nice set of drifter gear , ninja blades, wakishis etc, by joining the shinobi and then going to the bar and talking poo poo on the "tough guys" and then the guards take your side and murder them. Wish I had done this sooner!!!

Wish I had done this sooner!!! Shinobi thieves are super good to be friends with. 50% discounted poo poo, free facilities and guards. I pretty much spent my first 10k on making them my friends this time around. Griz posted:building a storage on the roof of one of the buildings next to the Hub bar is almost as good as auto-selling. Actually using a trick I figured out to make them haul iron and steel from outside hub into my chests in the hub. Put a storage near the mine and one in my crafting area in the hub. Assign dudes on the jobs to stock both storage bins, with the one in the hub at a higher priority. He will pick up something to bring it over to the local storage, and then once he has it in his inventory he will go "hay I have a job to run up the mountain and put steel in a box don't I" and he will do it.

Well the nomads decided to leave after a few days. The tech hunters are still guarding my town for free though, seems like a bad business model but I don't mind. I don't have a shop in town and it's not a navmesh issue either. Seems like people just think I've hired them to guard the town for some reason. Do the shops actually work? I read somewhere that they don't work correctly right now.

My go to move at the start of any new game is to scrounge up about 10k, then contract 3 groups of mercs/tech hunters and let them all sacrifice their lives clearing out the robot spiders from the ruins in the northwest swamp area of the map. You walk away with the gear of their fallen plus 150k+ cats worth of loot and ancient science books. It helps to have a couple squaddies with merchant packs to help carry stuff back.

I usually clear those by running a guy in to get all the spiders to chase him out, and then once they are out of the building I sneak a 2nd guy in and shut the door so I can loot it safely. Security spiders can't open the door to get back inside.

Mine is to go lure a beak thing nest into the nearest hive village, then go back and take and sale all those eggs. Maybe steal a backpack from Squin if I need the space. Then pick up some plate armor and drifters pants and go to town on starving bandits.
