I've got triple-digit hours in this game thanks to having had it for ages and I'm still finding new stuff post 1.0. Do yourself a favour, goons, and once you have a buddy and some gear try going off the beaten path. It really will be an adventure.

Is Inu no longer at the Hub on a new game start? I only see Hobbs.

While you're at it you can simply add Squin or Hub to the list of places he can spawn in. Also if you've got a lot of mods that add extra characters they can reduce the chance of finding a particular, desired character. Importing the game also helps.

I get game crashes fairly frequently. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Will importing a save work?

Will importing a save work? are you running the game in fullscreen mode? if you are, set it to borderless window. if you're already running borderless window, try turning your graphics settings down. there are some issues with the game going over the video memory limit and crashing depending on what your graphics are set to. hope this helps!

puberty worked me over posted:8 GB video card may help if the crashes are occurring after you play for a while. Reducing options relating to texture detail may increase the time you can play between crashes if again it's a video memory issue. I mean to be honest "I get game crashes fairly frequently" is a really vague description of an error in software execution. When it crashes they have pretty specific instructions on uploading the log files. I've been too lazy but has anyone actually looked at the log files / crash dumps? Are they just in plain text or is it in some proprietary format only the developer can look at? I played for like 40 hours with almost no crashes. Now it crashes every ten minutes or so. There's nothing specific I'm doing in the game when it happens, as far as I can tell.

Start a new game and leave it running for an hour. If it doesn't crash it's simply a bugged save. If the new game crashes start a vanilla game and see if that will crash. If the new game crashes go through all the standard tech support bullshit: virus check msconfig drivers clean reinstall add/remove programs - if you can't remember what something does or why you installed it it's probably bullshit windows Also avoid using web browsers and chat software while playing.

I find that prospecting causes crashing fairly reliably, the game reporting it has run out of video memory after I prospect a couple of times in a row. I am using a 1070 ti so I am fairly sure that must be some kind of memory leak. In other news I just raided the tower of the Thrall Masters and am leaving with a limping crew of badly injured individuals, one freshly missing her left arm. The loot included a masterwork cybernetic arm! But it was a right arm. Ooops. A missing left arm also prevents you from carrying people and getting these two skeletons with bounties is taking a long, long time. I got two 'Meitou' quality weapons though, I think time to start training somebody up to use polearms because that thing is too good not to use.

This game is super good. I've slowly worked my way up from a house in the lizard people city to starting a base on a nice flat hilltop in the east of hub. Im still horribly squishy and take raids by running for the most part, but its still a blast. I really like the dynamic conversations everyone has. Its kinda fun to watch them react to animals and stuff.

I did a little exploring with my small group of weaklings and ran a gauntlet of horrible angry things into a town built under the shell of a giant ancient construct. It’s called Mourn, and it’s a really crummy place! Sparsely populated with two measly shops, the saving grace is the town’s position directly in the migratory path of several awful species. All of the beak thing pelts and bone dog raw meat that the guards were generating inspired the founding of Jerky Time, first and finest purveyors of strange charcuterie. The only problem is, no one is coming in to buy from me!

Herstory Begins Now posted:The shop system is still broken afaik and you probably have to download the well-made economy/shop overhaul mod from the workshop Ah that’s too bad. I downloaded that shop economy mod, and one that repopulates Mourn, but I think it’s time to move on to other ventures. It was good practice, setting up a mining operation outside of town, getting more research done, etc. does it break the game if you remove mods? I added one that greatly expands shopkeepers inventories and now it kinda feels like cheating. The barman at Mourn, for example, has 600 thousand cats on him and dozens of high tech items.

So I tried to take on the Bugmaster and it did not work out so well. I took a squad of ten badasses in heavy/medium armour and two random scrubs who I picked up on the way (they can soak hits and level up from being mangled!). Badasses varying from people with skills in the mid 50s and Edge 3 weaponry plus full Specialist samauri armour to those with skills in the low/mid 40s with merely Skeleton Smith weapons and high grade plated jackets/samauri pants and boots. I made it through the dozens upon dozens of skin spiders and literally killed eighty or ninety of the things on the way. Healed up, climbed his tower, this shirtless guy just completely kicks the rear end of my entire squad whilst barely being hurt. Apparently he is burly enough to tank a hit from an Edge 3 Falling Sun and sort of not care with hitting him in the first place a huge challenge. Crossbows would be the obvious answer but of course I used up all of my ammunition on the way. Ooops. Now to try to get back out and make the long long journey to anywhere that actually sells crossbow bolts, though on the plus side I do now have some more experienced newbies and 20,000 or so in claws.

can someone give me a couple of paragraphs in a quickstart guide? I picked this game up last summer and was completely confused as to how to get any traction at all, trying to get back to it now but I’m kind of running into the same problem where I spawn pretty much naked and starved and I have no idea how to start doing the scut work that you have to start with in these sorts of games.

Select one of the starting option where you don't start "naked and starved". Go into houses where stuff gets sold, select Sneak. If the eye is blue press Alt+leftclick on things. Run to next town over, sell your stuff at a Bar. Run, run, run, run into enemies, get beaten up. You'll be able to choose your battles if you can run fast enough. Sneak through towns. Steal more. Sell more. Be prepared to fail in fights! That's part of the game.

I sent my main character into any farm/town/etc and take things and that's how we have enough first aid kits to survive almost anything! Also, see if you can find Hobbs - I've found him in the Hub twice now, and he's free and has decent starting stats.

Basically, the "one weird trick" to surviving early is that you need to have at least 1 other person not in combat somewhere close by with a medkit. The other trick is to have more people. You get advanced tricks like chopping off a guys legs and training up your combat skill by beating the poo poo out of him with a stick after shoving him in a carcass of metal but you'll get to that later.

You can essentially fight hungry bandits 'for free' if you are not carrying food on you. They beat you up with iron pipes but you essentially never lose a limb or bleed out from the blunt damage and you can make yourself immensely tough by forcing yourself to keep standing up instead of playing dead. One encounter with hungry bandits can put your toughness into the 30 something range in fact which makes a huge difference and also makes it much less likely you will bleed out in future.

You've got a couple of different next steps from here. If you can stand the tedium, use yourself and Hobbs to mine copper near the Hub or Squin for 10k cats to join the shinobi in the hub. Joining the shinobi as early as possible is pretty awesome and you can pay it off and more if you do stuff like run drugs from the swamp to the northeast (this is also tedious but you get to see the world and get eaten by swamp denizens unlike static copper mining). After joining the shinboi you can use their assasinate training dummy to get enough skill to knock out a sparring partner from dust bandits or starving bandits. Now you can spar with them, carry them back and forth from Squin to the hub for strength. Since you have two people one guy can always hold him while another sleeps. While you or the sparring partner are healing, mine copper or roam about figuring out trade routes, looting vacant sites. If you want instant action, or eventually you will come to this step even in the tedium grind above, start chasing down hungry bandits and making the entire group kick your rear end. Your goal is to get enough toughness that eventually you can stand back up in the middle of a bunch of hungry bandits solo. So one guy hides somewhere nearby, one guy runs up in the middle and hits them until they themself go down. If you can get back up, do it. If not let the bandits leave and your hiding guy can come apply first aid and throw you into a bed or sleeping bag. Solo standing up in the middle of hungry bandits can get you like 5 or 10 toughness levels at a time depending on how much they outnumber you. As you get a decent amount of toughness on a few folks you can now just actually take the bandits down and that will be good for weapon skill ups now. As you gain cash, you can get more domestic. Buy a medium sized house in Hub or Squin, add research bench and get copper storage. Now you can automate copper mining and set a guy or two doing it with minimum oversight of your own. Worlds your oyster from here - keep a small domestic base in an existing town to fund and heal up teams that go roaming about, or save up and fill a pack garru with enough stuff to build a settlement guarded by mercs you hire 2 days at a time while your regulars get some turret training.

You train by getting the poo poo beat out of you, which is remarkably survivable as long as someone can come and get you. Kenshi kinda works on dragonball rules where you just get absurdly tough the more fighting you do. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Dec 29, 2018 |
