i dont really know if i understand fascination. i never actually see the card, the counter doesnt tell me anything and either it works itself it out or i die without really any options or feedback that i can figure out

i guess i understand that part, but i havent noticed like, a source of it. or a use for it other than dying. is it a penalty for something, or completely random? I think ive seen the card a single time but ive definitely died to it another time

also: why do i occasionally just become decrepit? i dont have the injury box in some weird place and the music usually changes, but sometimes i just lose a health without warning

does having a shitton of mystique make it harder to get investigated? i had like 10 of them and by the time the hunter burned them all, all my notoriety was gone

you can easily just farm as much health as you want so its not really a big deal to spend it on whatever even if its lost

this game could really use shortcuts of some kind. it would be nice to bind an action to a button so i can just strength -> health -> start -> close window instead of making a bunch of mouse clicks for a pretty rote action

edit: i guess you can just use contentment for trappings

has anyone figured out a decent layout for everything? i just died in a dumbass way and i dont mind starting over but the prospect of re-organizing everything poorly is making me angry

if you have, just throw a pic out in spoilers. i dont care if i see a bunch of cards of proper nouns i havent discovered yet so dont worry about censoring it or whatever. id much rather stop having cards appear and gently caress up the position of everything constantly, etc

This is what I ended up with:



Rule 1: Anything new is going to appear in the middle, so that needs to be clear/home to temporary poo poo only; anything permanent goes to the sides
Rule 2: Put nouns near the verbs they usually go in. That's not always possible, because there's a lot of poo poo to store and only so much space. This means you have to spread the verbs out.
Rule 3: Stats are never going to be well-behaved. Reason especially seems to like dropping itself all over the place. Corral them in their own section and don't worry too much if it gets messy.

this makes a lot of sense. i was trying to be zoomed in more because at a certain point you cant really read things but i think that might be impossible after a while

All he really needs to do is not require 8 clicks and a 60-second wait for every single action. Some things (e.g. buying books) should happen instantly, and others (doing your mundane job) should happen automatically unless you interrupt them. Painting is probably the worst since it takes a ridiculous number of clicks and drags and you have to do them all every single time you want to paint.

There are a couple of UI things that would be really nice, too, like making stats and mystique stack nicely, but those are marginal.

i think the wait for a lot of stuff (buying books) is good, but there are a lot of annoying pauses for stuff like auctions. i should be able to click a button to toggle auctions to always be magnets for funds, or toggle a magnet for inspiration for painting, etc

cards should always go back to where they started and if theres an overlap between them and a currently hidden box, i should be able to toggle visibility to fix that. cards shouldn't loving scatter everywhere, use opacity to show that there are multiple cards on a spot that need to be fixed. stuff like scholar cards could be an upgrade that you just apply to study and can click on when you drag the book to the box. i get that he wants to keep the card game feeling and so using cards is important (so nothing cna be truly automated), but a lot of things are annoying busywork

It's intended because advanced painting explicitly warns you about that applying to any notoriety you use while painting.

Also summoned minions can be "Talked" to about literally any card (even though they only respond to a handful) so keeping a familiar around to preserve your Contentment, prevent an Illness from progressing, or provide Erudition during research is pretty dope.

is this not true anymore? i cant even talk to heart minions about notoriety and i thought they were supposed to dispose of it

ya, but the board job gets worse every time you get demoted, so if youre gonna just grind out 500 funds or whatever you might as well do it efficiently. it counts as one notoriety absorbed - which makes it longer to execute. at least its 50s at the start and goes to 60s after you get caught/demoted and promoted once

its good though in that you can actually just juggle it and another thing

i see people recommending modding sunless sea to be less boring and that makes a ton of sense, but why does everyone mod supply and fuel usage away? theres zero challenge to the game if you do that

Cantorsdust posted:

It's really hard in the vanilla game to capture ships because they have to take enough damage to kill their crew without sinking. In > 100 hours of play I never did it vanilla. This mod will replace the ship sinking event with the ship capturing one and give you the option to capture ships. Fair warning--it pays probably a game-breakingly large amount of money because the designers never had to balance the rewards (because no one ever got them).

i remember capturing ships in vanilla but i dont really recall how. i know the card game let you roll 50/50 against your crew just sailing off with the ship and it wasnt a worthwhile gamble, but i thought i'd done it in the new version as well

i beat this game very shortly after it was released. other than some annoying UX quirks and maybe a bit of tedium, i really enjoyed it. for some reason i own the dancer DLC (i dont think i played it). is it worth playing again now, has it gained enough content through that and patches, or would it be a good idea to wait a bit more

Mostly of the Apostles are too dangerous immediately. I had trouble with early Grail Apostle because I thought I'd tried something I hadn't. Now the summons killing the big threat bug is fixed it might be a little squeakier on succeeding than before if you are fumbling about.

If you die as an apostle you do not get a retry (though you can click Restart Game or whatever in the Esc menu to restart the run). Feel free to backup your saves or edit them though.

Two minor hints for Apostle :

You will need multiple things from Port Noon, I think for all three of them.

It is obtuse and confusing. Don't feel too bad about asking or looking up hints.

cool, thanks

something that wasnt in the game last i played is this. i know regular lore merging is still in but scholarship being useful for this is not something i recall



is there some way i can turn lessons into better lore with this? seems expensive
