Everyone who is capable of doing medicine should have 3 meds assigned right off the bat imo. Anyone incapable of violence gets assigned worker gear as part of that first 2 minute pause. You can claim busted structures but because of how repairing them works with default importance of jobs it's more important to get everything hauled to safety before actually fixing things, usually I will toggle construction until we're stabilized & live with it looking like busted crap for a time.

I threw one at decent sized mech cluster and they fought each other to a standstill. I used the jannissaries on loan from the empire to finish off the painball - turns out they drop a sizeable amount of loot when killed, but not enough considering how tanky they are.

Revenants get hosed hard by EMP. Have a pawn with EMP grenades blanket the area where it could hide. The revenant won't really fight back, but it has an assload of HP.

I had a guy with an EMP launcher but it fires way too slowly and I'm too low on components to splooge on more of those. I eventually dealt with the revenant after having to find it with a squad of guys like a dozen times. It looked like it took roughly a 100 shots to put it down.

fairly sure they will just cheat and skip out of that kind of enclosure anyway like the unnatural corpse does e: when I got the revenant I managed to just beat the poo poo out of it with my melee pawns fairly quickly but it was only possible because I had two shots of flamethrower from a single hellcat rifle to uncover it, otherwise it would have been much much harder.

I'm thinking of preventing them from fleeing. Either box some pawns in with it to give it a blanket party, or leave it with a gift of fire.

They panic when you set them on fire so an incinerator makes them quite easy if still time consuming An incinerator imo is a top tier tool to try and get your hands on, you can buy them from combat suppliers fairly cheaply and they are probably the best way to do fire damage. Although a flamebow should also work if you have a good shooter. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Apr 23, 2024 |

You can set them to only read textbooks when they read, and what skills to prioritise but no you can't make them read all the time that would be kinda broken.

Tentacle arms reduce the pawn's beauty by 1 so she might mind if she isn't Kind or Ascetic or similar.
