Geomancing posted:The second Anomaly preview is up, spoilers as usual. so if i'm reading this right, a viable base defense option is now "the only path into your base passes through a giant pile of corpses with some deadlife IEDs that reanimates the entire pile to eat whoever just showed up, thus adding to the pile"

if you're wondering what the mental break tied to the Inhuman ideology does, it makes them do nothing for a few hours and gives them this effect, which appears to be permanent (or at least lasts way longer than the mental break) (also a +8 moodlet)

Party In My Diapee posted:Anyone figured out exactly what the new ideology memes do? the inhuman meme causes a believer's first mental break to be replaced with a short bout of insanity followed by them turning into a psychopath: it also turns the -8 mood they get from not being inhumanized into +8 and, as near as I can tell, inhumanized people will never initiate conversation with anyone as near as i can tell this is permanent i assume having your colony be all sociopaths would be useful if you want to do some of the more hosed up stuff from anomaly/dark science, while this also makes it really really hard to recruit prisoners (which is probably why the meme encourages slavery) President Ark fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Apr 12, 2024 |

just had the perfect confluence of events give me the perfect first revenant I'd gotten a proximity sensor on the one approach to my base - due to being in a mountainous coast with a road, my base wound up being oddly shaped but by taking advantage of the rocks and hills I got myself down to only one approach, from the south. This did not save the first victim, who was outside the wall getting wood at the time. I just pulled back behind the wall. At this point I had five combat pawns - one of whom was a mechanitor with two militors - two pacifists, and a baby. I figured I'd just pop it when it tripped the proximity sensor. Proximity sensor goes off, and... it's a sightstealer? gently caress, two different entities at once? And not only that, but killing the first one makes it scream and summons more sightstealers with no real indication of how many or if it'd be all at once. So now I have two different invisible enemies who are gonna be coming into my base, one far more dangerous than the other, and because of how the proximity sensor works I don't know which is which. This is how the revenant gets its second victim. In one spot the proximity sensor only covers a few tiles, and while dealing with another sightstealer the revenant bolts past the weakest part of the sensor and grabs them. I shoot it a bit, and get the first sample which lets me see its trail for longer. I keep staring at the other end of the hill tunnel it came through trying to see where its trail goes, but don't see it. Time passes. I kill another sightstealer. Time passes. I watch the top of the screen like a hawk. It doesn't help the third victim, because it never actually left my base after its second victim. I get there in time to knock off a second sample - this one letting my pawns do a metal gear solid "!" if they're near an invisible revenant - but it gets away. I am now starting to panic a bit. Every time the revenant's grabbed one of the combat pawns. It has mercifully not taken the Mechanitor, but I am now down to the mechanitor, their two militors, and one other pawn capable of fighting this thing. I have firefoam and now that I can find it when it's chilling between eating people's souls I can actually start hunting it, but if it takes another pawn I'm probably hosed and if it takes the Mechanitor I'm definitely hosed. Well, I stop panicking a little when I actually go out and kick the poo poo out of it a few times. I even bring one of the pacifists - partially so she can carry another firefoam pop pack, and partially because she's a noble and can call in some imperial troopers to help kick the poo poo out of it. I don't kill it, but its Sentience stat (which I'm really hoping is not just its health) is dropping fast. But it's fast too, and I can only firefoam it three times, each time only getting about ten seconds to shoot it, before running out. I do this twice. On the second journey back to resupply, my three pawns are just inside the proximity sensor (and the imperials just hosed off, of course)... and the sensor dings. It's coming back. The one pacifist was going south a bit to meditate. The two fighters were going north a bit. I could see a few claw marks in their direction. I drafted the pacifist and put it in a narrow tunnel it had to pass through. And, evidently, a revenant will take the first target it runs into, because it took her instead - and gave me enough time to get the third sample. Which just lets you see the bastard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixBV5xo9NkM It didn't take anyone else. I don't think it even got a chance to stop running. Partly because I knew if it activated again I was hosed... and partly because shooting the poo poo out of that prick was incredibly satisfying.

Jack Trades posted:Making hamburgers out of monsters is bad I'm guessing? it's actually slightly better than eating people because it's -10 mood instead of -20. if it has other effects i haven't seen them that said it also makes fine kibble so if you have a lot of animals that's probably a better use for it for dreadleather, it makes good sandbags. it doesn't seem that much better than other leathers in terms of durability unless i'm misinterpreting these stats e: okay, I tell a lie, it's actually about as good as the heavier leathers like elephant or rhino according to the wiki. Still doesn't hold a candle to thrumbofur though. President Ark fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Apr 19, 2024 |

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

so it turns out later cultist raids can have the cultists come with death refusal, meaning they stand back up once after dying with their injuries healed and if you capture them before they use it, you can harvest multiple sets of their organs, or harvest their vital organs without giving colonists the "organ murderer" negative mood!
