Anyone done a 100% summon shamblers ritual? I did a 61% one for my sphere, and it summoned so many my game started lagging. I've also found the summon fleshbeasts ritual a bit underwhelming. I've tried using it against cultist ritual raids, but they usually beat them down pretty handily.

Age reversal in pods has always kinda sucked but it's completely obsolete now that you can just suck the life force out of some chump to de-age 15 or 20 years instantly and heal scars/conditions to boot. It's easy to keep a transhumanist at age 20 so that they never whine about it.

I love how in a discussion about which one DLC should someone get, when someone asks me why I think one DLC lacks polish compared to the others, people pop up to say that actually a second DLC comes with a (totally unthematic) workaround so it's fine. I am aware I can mod the game or cheat or become a void cultist. None of these things are relevant to Ideology feeling moddier than the other DLCs. I am not having a skill or knowledge issue with the game, I just think ideology tries to do too much and fails at some of it in a way that the others don't.

Yeah, this wasn't a response to you, which is why I didn't quote your post. Like I said I think the pods suck. I was just adding to the discussion. No need to be so defensive.

It would then have interaction with Dubs Bad Hygiene.

Man, my main crafter keeps getting knocked up, 3 kids in less than 3 years. Which is very inconvenient since she's an immortal vampire that needs to deathrest for days at a time on the regular! Had to turn an Yttakin I recruited into a babysitter. Good thing you can cook baby food.

If your weird ideology is making prisoners and visitors uncomfortable, simply edit all the other ideologies to not be so bothered. This is war crime planet, the planet where everyone loves war crimes. Or where almost everyone is an shroom munching Undergrounder, or whatever. Also fun is to set raider factions with preferred clothing: blindfold. You don't need to combine this with blindsight or darkness preference to make it make sense. You just end up with raiders showing up wearing blindfolds because they think it looks cool.

Perhaps you know this but there's a button in the pawn's menu you can click that will make them pull out. I think it's in the health or relationship tab.

I summoned about fifty from a 76% ritual, don't know whether that's above or below the norm just yet. Was hoping to wait them out, but eventually the horde started slowly wandering towards the main gate a bit too close for comfort, so I summoned a 2-Diabolus raid and aggroed them with a mortar so they'd meet up with the zombies and start fighting. The mechs won, but it was pretty close and I managed to finish them off without issue. Forgot to take screenshots unfortunately, but I'll probably do it again once my colonists heal up. Definitely waiting for any mods that let you weaponize more anomalies, and also one that lets you arbitrarily scale up ritual strength by offering more bioferrite.

Haha yeah, I'm aware of the "Try/don't try for pregnancy" option, but honestly I just found the concept of a melee master yttakin having to babysit the kids of his Vampire master a bit fun/cute. Honestly, the first pregnancy/kid was the most annoying, as I only had the three colonists (and a creepy wanderer that joined, had all organs decay, and promptly died), and between deathresting, bloodfeeding, feeding/playing with the baby, and the normal everyday chores, my vampire didn't get to do much work. Kinda rough since she was both my planter and researcher at the time. Now that I have 10+ people, stuff actually gets done even if she hangs out in her throne room with the new kid all day. Also, a Revenant managed to hypnotize one of the children when it attacked, which meant 3+ days of wasted growth potential. Pretty much the worst.  Edit: Has anyone actually had an Occultist wanderer teach the trait to another pawn? The description says they're supposed to do it, but I don't think I've ever seen it happen. And I seem to get one of those on every colony. Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 11:38 on May 3, 2024 |

 I had someone discover a metalhorror because the other person weirded them out during a conversation. But the person isn't assigned to anything that spreads it so I'm just leaving it there

I'm guessing that's from a mod, as I've not seen that happen before. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend letting it fester, because metalhorrors mature while inside someone, and larvae are significantly easier to deal with than the grown version. There are also ways for a host to infect others that don't involve cooking or surgery.

Started tinkering with a new colony and tried my hand at making a custom xenotype for my colonists, but didn't get very far beyond 'what if absolutely gigantic snakeman' before I got bored and went back to my old colony. Forgot about it for a bit, then I try my hand at a skip abduction ritual and  They were Unwaveringly Loyal, so I decided I'd just have my vampire chomp on them and turn them into a ghoul to see how that worked out.  Unfortunately I didn't get as far as putting in any notable drawbacks, so their metabolic inefficiency is through the roof and being so large means they require way more meat that I was able to afford. After a few battles I had to stick them into a cryptosleep casket, because they'd chowed down on every roaming animal on the map and were still hungry. Maybe once I build up a stockpile I'll let them out and have them chow down, then stick them back in and pull them out on special occasions.

FurtherReading posted:Re: dryads, the Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Dryads mod gives them a solid boost. When you get three dryads you can "awaken" them to merge into a single, buffed version that will survive independently of the tree for about three years. So each time you get 3 you can hit awaken and then change the dryad type to get a good variety of them from even a single tree. heck yeah that's what it should have been except you can also shear the medicine maker to get cloth &/or herbal meds about on par as a cotton or medicine plant would take. The neutroamine production would be incredibly low, like amount 1 or 2. If these animals are trapped away from 100% sunlight for too long they get sick and die but of course have no need to eat. Some basically just hang out doing nothing & looking cool, like a fantabulous living sculpture. Maybe having one is an overall mood boost too.

Ok, so I got an idea for a new colony ideology, High Life + Animalist. Tame bears, make Go-juice. Whenever enemies show up, inject bears and set them loose while your colonists get to smoke and drink inside. It's a flawless strategy, I'm sure

Technically you can make void drugs, but you gotta contact them first Edit: Actually, that reminds me that Juggernaut Serum should definitely work on bears!

Skip is the most overpowered psycast, goddamn. First time I dealt with a revenant it was difficult and I had to throw EMP grenades everywhere. Second time I had two psycasters with skip. I teleported them closer to the Revenant, and then every time it tried to hypnotise someone I yanked it away from the victim with skip. All while shooting at it. It felt kind of petty, just bullying the Revenant like that. But it worked perfectly.

Psychically deaf pawns can't use Chronophagy  One of my Hussars has exactly 10% sensitivity because of his psychic bond with his wife, but the other one is poo poo out of luck. Get used to the biosculptor I guess

Can you not make him hold an eltex staff or something? If psychic deafness just adds -100% then any equipment that adds % should presumably give them some?

Bioferrite gear also boosts sensitivity according to its quality. You can make a slave collar, mask, plate mail, and sword out of it. At normal quality that's a 10% multiplier from rach item, and they do stack. That's a multiplier though, not a +% like eltex gives, so you will need a +% from an eltex or prestige item to get the amount above 0. There's no penalty for wearing a slave collar. There's also a psychic sensitizer bionic which adds 25%. worm girl fucked around with this message at 22:57 on May 3, 2024 |

It's so cool that they let you do this instead of setting it to 0 no matter what. edit: woo new update. They made it so tribals can harvest bioferrite from captured monsters or harbinger trees, and so that most of the research no longer requires electricity.
