I started a new game, appearing as a wanderer in the ruined city of Hub. I stole some water and rum that people had left carelessly lying around, then headed north to investigate this 'lone shack' map marker. Along the way I found a rebel bar and a group of bandits, I led the bandits back to the bar to get beaten up then nicked their weapons and armour and sold them to the barkeep. Finding nothing at the lone shack I decided to head to the city of Squin, but along the way I encountered a group of bonedog puppies who rent me limb from limb.

For training kung-fu fighting in Rebirth, should I wear the armor I took off the guards so it takes longer for them to beat me down? The starvation penalties mean that even without weapons they're knocking me out too fast to get much MA training in.

wit posted:As a rule of thumb, all early drops are vendor trash. But your first port of call should be to buy a building in a town just to get some research going. I'd say your priorities would be get a backpack (trader preferably) > building > research bench > bed(s), ore (for some reason "ore storage" is iron ore, but copper or storage is called "copper ore storage") > general, food. Till then keep everything on your person you're not selling, it helps with strength training. I have a couple of Rebirth-trained ninjas visiting nearby cities and stealing them dry, so I have a ton of unsold loot to stash. The noob-crew have been set to work distant deposits to train strength and athletics without me having to click.

I actually escaped, recruited some more dudes, and decided to go back to get strength/toughness up. Everyone can lockpick and sneak by this point, and my pointwoman has tons of assassination.

Getting enough Fabrics to keep my armor-making constantly training is pretty difficult. I should probably just bite the bullet and set up an Outpost so I can grow Hemp.

RazzleDazzleHour posted:Alternatively, if you're at Hydroponics you could make Hemp inside a town with a well, it's a really economic crop and if you have like two auto-looms you'll be spitting out fabric faster than you can convert it into armor AND weapons. Two Hydroponics bays and two auto-looms are like no space at all, even a town where you can buy one relatively large building will suffice. Need an AI core first though, and those Security Spiders are no joke. Edit: When crafting my minions will automatically pull materials from storage. But they won't do this when building and I have to manually collect the materials, often taking several trips. Is there any way to change this?

Angry Lobster posted:30s or 40s is not that much, they are literally the normal stat line for average or even below average soldiers for most factions. For your reference, a inquisitor has stats in the mid 70s and Seta himself is in the 80s, so you are thoroughly outclassed and can't beat them in an honest fight. Does this work off of your base skills or your modified (penalised) skills?

After rebirthing everyone I holed up in the Hub training and crafting. By the time I left I had 4 heavy infantry (full specialist samurai armor + homemade skeleton-III weapons) and 3 light infantry (drifters leathers + rattan hat + sandals, specialist oldbow) with skills/stats 40+. They went through fogmen like a chainsaw through butter.

Following a suggestion I think in this thread I'm using the Fog to delimb characters while also giving them massive Toughness experience. Strength through pain is our faction motto.

The Atomic Man-Boy posted:Any good beginner's first play through guide? I can give a cheesy grindy start guide Step 1 is to take the Slavery start. Slavery is great both for learning and grinding stats because there are literally zero consequences to anything you do. No matter how much you piss of the guards, just pop back into a cage and they'll forget they were ever mad. Even if you get beaten into unconsciousness they'll bandage you up immediately, so you can't bleed to death and all that happened was that you gained some Toughness. And it's impossible to starve to death while enslaved no matter how much you fart around. So you have your slaves. During the day, you'll be put to work. Either go AFK or if you want to pay attention then whenever your characters start actually working on something tell them to move 1m away so they'll hopefully start heading towards something else to work there. Repeat when they arrive. The reason you're doing this is that running around boosts your Athletics if unburdened and Strength if burdened, both of which you want. Doing work just boosts Labour which you don't care about. Now it's night phase and you've been put back into a cage / on a pole. Once the guards leave, immediately pick the lock on your shackles then on your cage/pole. There are now several activities you can do: 1) Collect Shackles - you can do this if you've been put in a cage on the lower hut level and the guards haven't gone to bed yet. Every time you unlock them and put them in your inventory they'll come put another set on you, allowing you to accumulate a (very heavy) inventory full of shackles that will let you train Strength in the day phase 2) Train Stealth. This sometimes works if you stand in your cage and enter stealth mode. Other times it doesn't and I don't know why. But when it does, it levels insanely fast so just working once or twice should be sufficient. I've had the best luck standing in the cage on the lower floor of the huts where the guards are sleeping just the other side of the divider. 3) Train Assassination. For this, you need to have been tied to one of the outside poles. Once the guards are in bed, escape the pole then start repeatedly Knocking Out the other prisoners on their poles. You'll start with an incredibly low percentage, but it will increase. Once it's higher (and you have trained Stealth) you can go on to 3b) Train Assassination more. Sneak into the huts and knock out the guards. If you fail, either pop into a cage or just take the beating. You'll level assassination faster this way and can pull hilarious pranks like stealing the knocked-out guards' swords so the beatings hurt less in future. 4) Train Thieving (optional). Steal something (red text), then get back in your cage and repeatedly drop the item and pick it up again. Requires lots of clicking, I lost patience. At any time you can train Toughness by pissing off the guards and receiving a beating. Eventually you will want to escape. The exact method is up to you, but Stealth and Assassination are extremely useful. Protip: Guards can't chase you very well if they're wearing shackles (You can come back to train some more at any time. Just come back and put yourself in a cage. You'll have to escape again when you've finished though.) Once you have escaped you should make the long and dangerous journey down to the Hub. You've probably got good Athletics, so run away from things a lot. Next steps in a new post...

So you're in the hub with your two badasses. What should you do next? Crimes. Your Stealth, Assassination and Lockpicking are probably sky-high on at least one character, which means you can take basically anything you want from shops. Wait till midnight then sneak in, knock everyone out, and help yourself to whatever you like. The bartender in the Hub will buy anything you steal. Squin is a good place to hit first. Avoid fights when travelling between cities - if you have enough Stealth you can run fast while sneaky. Buy membership in the Thieves so you can get some thiefing backpacks. Also, hit up the bars everywhere you visit and see if you can get people to sign up. You're going to need warm bodies. To support them just buy food from the bars using your crime profits. But a building in the Hub, repair it, and put in a Research bench. Have one guy doing Research full time using all the books you 'buy' (steal). The key technologies you need are Armour Crafting and Imprisonment. At some point some nomads will wander through the Hub. Buy a bull and put a bull backpack on it. It can carry an insane amount, which will help your thieving and will be important in a bit. Buy more buildings in the hub to keep putting stuff in them that you've researched and want. Once you can, put someone full-time onto training Armoursmithing. You need to get to 80 skill eventually. My chosen method was to hire Tech Hunters from waystations then go hunting Beak Things. My character wouldn't participate in the combat to avoid being eaten, but just collected the skins at the end. Tanning skins trains Armoursmithing, and then you can use the leather to make stuff training it even more. You'll need Cloth too though. At this point I started regularly sending the bull + a runner to nearby cities and waystations to buy them out of iron plates, cloth, animal skins and cotton (to make more cloth with). A circuit of the Hive Villages nets you a lot, they each have a Trader. Also buy armour plate and steel bars, though you don't need as much of those. Optionally have a different person start making weapons (use the lowest-level weapon bench so you only need iron, not steel + cloth) Get the Samurai Armour blueprint. You may need to send a runner to the United Cities. Also buy some rusted junk weapons from the hub bartender, or put a completely unskilled person on the weapon bench to make your own. Build a complete set of Samurai armor for all your melee characters, plus a spare set. Put some Prisoner Cages on the roof of one of the buildings you own in the Hub, and some beds downstairs. Use your Assassinate-ninja to grab some people to put in the cages. Preferably enemies (like Dust Bosses etc) or you'll be pissing people off, but you may be fine with that. I grabbed some Holy Sentinels myself. Strip all your prisoners. Gather all your characters you want to train on the roof, then lock the door to stop the ninjas interfering. Equip everyone with a rusted junk weapon of your choice, then equip a prisoner with the spare set of armour and a rusted junk sabre. Let them out of the cage, then beat them down. Put them back in the cage, apply first aid, then go downstairs and sleep of your own wounds. Since you're sleeping in a bed you heal 8x faster than they will, so you'll need multiple prisoners to keep up the pace - just take the armour and weapon from the wounded prisoner and give them to the next one in line. Remember to feed your prisoners. During this process you may wish to send your runners out around the world. Stealing from ancient ruins is tricky but rewarding. Once your armour crafter gets to 80 skill, make a new set of samurai armor* for everyone plus either a leather turtleneck or chainmail (chainmail is a pain-in-the-rear end and also requires ancient science books, but offers better protection). By this point everyone in your combat team should be a badass from all the rooftop fights, so equip them with a good version of their weapon of choice (either stolen or from your weapon smith) plus the armour you just made. You now have a team of well-equipped, well trained combatants. Go forth. * I actually favour the Masked Helmet over the Samurai Helmet as it has no melee attack penalty The Lone Badger fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Apr 15, 2019 |

Tabletops posted:thanks, that makes a lot more sense. Seems like a mixed biome one like Fog islands wouldn't be too bad, but the swamp one seems really good. Though I'm not really sure what the different plants are used for or useful. There are three plants worth growing: riceweed, greenfruit and hemp. Riceweed + greenfruit make gohan, and without the huge amount of extra hauling of anything involving wheatstraw. Hemp makes fabric, and is better at it than cotton.
