You just saved them from a bloody coup. I had a similar skip abduction experience, but the victim had a bionic leg so I got a free leg out of it! And they were still worth 3 honor when I sold them to the empire. What a great use of bioferrite.

I had to get them outside, forbid them, and hit them with the flamethrower. See you in hell you stupid boot

the thing about the happy fun ball is that, for something that moves by teleporting, it ironically isn't very fast and just having all your pawns scatter in different directions will probably buy you enough time it might melt one person but by the time it can catch that person everyone else will be too far for it to reach them

I found this out because my pawn needed a brain scar fixed, and my ritual site was too powerful to keep her in her 20s In retrospect I could have just made a new site and only used her in the ritual, but hey. I also found out, thank God, that underage pawns have 0% fertility (she was married), and that they still have fast aging around 13

Is it possible to just dump stuff into a drop pod and then keep adding to it later, like a storage container that you steadily add to? That could be another way to get rid of dread leather products, just keep loading a drop pod then eventually launch it. Also helps save on storage space

isndl posted:In general you don't want to go below 18 though since your body size becomes smaller and that's generally a net negative. A notable exception to this is long-range shooters. Smaller bodies are much more difficult to hit at range, and as far as I know they don’t have any penalties to their accuracy. Hussar kids with Shooting passions make excellent snipers. Of course, they also take devastating or fatal injuries from stuff that adults would shrug off, so, bit of a gamble.

A protip for the anomaly start - you have the research and materials to make a security door, which adds 150 containment strength to your platforms and completely trivialises containment mechanics. I've been comfortably storing 4 advanced entities in a single room hooked up to a bioferrite extractor.

Broken Cog posted:How did they manage to get enough materials in to do that? I imagine they just load up some pawns with stuff and then trigger the obelisk to bring the pawn in. You can bring in as many pawns as you want, and once you find the corresponding obelisk in the other dimension you can start bringing pawns out too, the dimension won't close until the last pawn leaves e: Oh there's a deep drill in that screenshot! I guess you can drill for resources there too, weird QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Apr 20, 2024 |

So you can only bring in mats once per pawn. I suspected they were using a deep drill, but even that takes a fair bit of resources to get going. And they seem to only have 3 pawns. Edit: Or thinking about it, I might have had everyone in the final room when I activated it

Any warden can convert prisoners, yeah. Though remember that the prisoner will get the ideology of whoever reduces their last bit of certainty to 0. You can also use the festival reward to attract pawns of your ideology to your colony.

Can you farskip to a pawn in the labyrinth? Then you would only need to get a mediation spot set up for the farskip pawn to easily supply the labyrinth pawn(s).

I don't remember where I read this or I could be making this all up but I'm pretty sure there are built in mechanics to tip the scale in favor of your custom ideology when you have low numbers. They get a percent multiplier in conversion strength. All colonists also try to convert in idle conversations, and it applies there too. It's to address the game starts with single colonists like naked brutality or rich explorer.

Jack Trades posted:So you're saying that 1000 y/o sniper girls in 13 y/o bodies is the optimal strategy? To make that idea even more haunted, thousand-year old sanguophage prince(ess) with Shooting passion might actually be optimal, since they won’t be obliterated if a lucky shot hits them! You can also get weirdly tanky melee child pawns, too. My last Medieval run turned into “daycare/hospital for weird mutant children” with hosed up genes, and we ended up with a kid who had melee passion, nimble, and some gene that gave him a minor bonus to dodge in melee. His size and a Weak Melee gene meant he couldn’t realistically hurt anyone, but he managed to basically single-handedly stop a prison break by standing in a doorway and flailing wildly while adults with looted swords tried to hack him to pieces. Eventually a psycaster showed up to solve the problem, but kiddo dodge-tanked quite effectively for far longer than I would have expected.

It's to address the game starts with single colonists like naked brutality or rich explorer. Yes, it's on the storyteller settings; 'Low Pop Conversion Boost', defaults to x300%. This number is for one colonist, halved for two, no effect for three. Almost all my solo starts get to that third ideologied colonist via two converted prisoners. You just gotta make sure on the convert/recruit/release menu you have the proper ideology selected.
