Stark Fist posted:Any advice for bypassing or expediting the resource grind? I want to stop but it doesn't seem like my little crew of 5 would last long out in the wastes. This game is rad but the mining is so boring. Early you can just run around looting stuff from fights around dangerous areas if you started in one and vending most of it. Running your starving rear end around some bandits/animals nearby and bringing them to the guards can encourage this. Steal food and other stuff off of tables and things while no one is looking or cook it from dead animals (no fail chance from stealing an item from the world while people aren't looking, only risky from containers). The only stat you really need to develop to not die very early is athletics. Buy/find sandals and don't wear anything that will slow you down until you have gotten your rear end beat a few times and can actually kill stuff. Train from public training dummies, ideally all the way to 14-15 if you have a mk3 available. Avoid anyplace with beak things or blood spiders like the plague for a while or be extremely careful while traveling around them. They will eat you. I don't mine unless it's a crew at an outpost cause as you mentioned it's boring as gently caress.

Carcer posted:Should I buy extra buildings in Hub or start my own base when I reach tech level 2? I need to build the bench somewhere and the little shack I bought isn't anywhere near big enough for everything I need. You should be able to shove everything you need into a storm house for early basic stuff. Research thing inside and everything else you want on the roof. If you bought a babby house, yes you will need to buy a storm house to fit the bigger research bench.

linall posted:I started training a Beep as a martial artist after one of the fogmen chopped his arm off. I know that from a stats point of thinking I should probably go back to Mongrel and get him a kickass prosthetic, but a one armed martial arts bugman is just so amazingly cool that I don't wanna. Give him a lifter or KLR arm to replace his soft fleshy one so he's even better at martial arts.

I prefer training my people up on paladins or other high powered guys as the opportunity presents. Training on dummies is so dull and anti-fun. I'll do the first 13-14 points on a dummy mk3 and from then on it's the real deal. Though since my preferred recruits are freed outlaw farmer/bandit slaves they usually have pretty close to the mk3 dummy limit when they start anyways. My main sneak dude always ends up with like a billion sneak/assassination skill so if i see some small group of badasses from a faction i don't like wandering around I'll clock them on the back of the head, confiscate their weapons, run in my low skill guys to slowly beat the poo poo out of them with lovely rusty weapons when they wake up. There is pretty close to zero risk doing this as your sneak guy will inevitably end up being able to run like 20 miles an hour while sneaking so failed KO's just mean you run away instead of beating them up. If you want, after the first beat down you can always kidnap them and bring them home to your arena for future sessions. Also the current experimental branch has a rad bug that deletes your towns or reverts purchased town buildings back to their default state, deleting all items you had stored there so be mindful of that. EDIT: annnd there's a note in today's patch saying that's fixed

I've had no issues automating feeding and mining and such even with a distributed set of squads. As long as stuff is moderately close together they will run between buildings to eat and store things or do whatever. Just have to make sure you lay it out to minimize the possibility of them getting stuck on poo poo. Main annoyance is repelling attacks as it's rather hard to maintain defense on multiple places. It's easier to just have one main outpost and have any alternate locations just be purchased buildings in friendly towns.

Making your place public with a lovely shop selling surplus goods to make guys come in to chill and kick the poo poo out of bandits and stuff for you is legit.

Mr. Pool posted:TIL you can get a nice set of drifter gear , ninja blades, wakishis etc, by joining the shinobi and then going to the bar and talking poo poo on the "tough guys" and then the guards take your side and murder them. Wish I had done this sooner!!! Shinobi thieves are super good to be friends with. 50% discounted poo poo, free facilities and guards. I pretty much spent my first 10k on making them my friends this time around. Griz posted:building a storage on the roof of one of the buildings next to the Hub bar is almost as good as auto-selling. Actually using a trick I figured out to make them haul iron and steel from outside hub into my chests in the hub. Put a storage near the mine and one in my crafting area in the hub. Assign dudes on the jobs to stock both storage bins, with the one in the hub at a higher priority. He will pick up something to bring it over to the local storage, and then once he has it in his inventory he will go "hay I have a job to run up the mountain and put steel in a box don't I" and he will do it.

I don't have a shop in town and it's not a navmesh issue either. Seems like people just think I've hired them to guard the town for some reason. Sometimes they seem to sell stuff but mostly like basic commodities? They are buggy as gently caress

Arven posted:My go to move at the start of any new game is to scrounge up about 10k, then contract 3 groups of mercs/tech hunters and let them all sacrifice their lives clearing out the robot spiders from the ruins in the northwest swamp area of the map. You walk away with the gear of their fallen plus 150k+ cats worth of loot and ancient science books. It helps to have a couple squaddies with merchant packs to help carry stuff back. I usually clear those by running a guy in to get all the spiders to chase him out, and then once they are out of the building I sneak a 2nd guy in and shut the door so I can loot it safely. Security spiders can't open the door to get back inside.

Herstory Begins Now posted:Getting your guys enslaved is pretty much a fully fleshed out cornerstone of the game. Kenshi doesn't really have conventional 'talk to a and fetch 10 of z' quests, but being a slave is an entire questline. I used to try to avoid it, but it's a really easy way to often get a bunch of stronger recruits. I currently have a guy carrying a dead body and an inventory filled with iron ore back and forth between hub and the shek towns. 50% str growth at all times. Sometimes he gets his rear end kicked by bandits but most of the time he's just playing the rocky theme song while walking around.

Herstory Begins Now posted:Lookit that exciting fast paced gameplay Most of that kind of stuff is things you run in the background while you are doing something else. A dude hauling a corpse between towns is not something you just sit and watch. Stick em in another squad and check on them from time to time. The game is definitely not fast paced tho. You have to be the right kind of autist to enjoy it.

Too bad i have to abandon my current one as it is on top a fortress hill and it looks quite cool. Install this mod https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1384575477 and setup in the deadlands. If you are looking for spots that aren't super dangerous and can grow stuff, the area in the northern hidden forest is green biome with high fertility with very little dangerous stuff. There's lots of blood spiders and rather dangerous bandits down in the swamp areas (red sabres and swamp ninja). You shouldn't settle anywhere that has things which will eat you unless you are very confident in your ability to defend it. Nuclearmonkee fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Aug 23, 2018 |

RattiRatto posted:Now that mod is interesting, I'm not yet in the late game tough, but I'll keep it in mind Smuggling hash/sake will make the most money in the UC cities out of all the trade goods though you have to fence the hash. Otherwise, forging higher end weapons/clothing/armor and selling it will make a lot of $$$. You can easily make yourself very rich just farming hemp, turning it to cloth and and crafting tagelmusts or whatever. And you don't need to be in the late game for super spider mod  It feels too easy to loot armories and ancient tech labs or walk on over to the scrapyard, which have all of the end game tier stuff in them. Those guys feel more appropriate for the places you find them then a pile of spiders that you can trivially kill with a bunch of low skill nobodies w/ junkbows or a few mercs.

The last corner is supposed to have a lot of dangerous poo poo in it anyways and it takes a fair amount of time to get your guys out of the "gently caress I just got beat up by a naked guy w/ a stick" phase.

Carcer posted:Not that I know of. It would be great if something high lighted NPCs in general. They don't run that fast. Just don't run around at low speeds alone. If you get in trouble you need to have a dude who can run off while the rest of your crew gets owned and come back later to bandage you/everyone else up. Otherwise low toughness means you get ko'd and bleed out vs. most stuff that deals any kind of cut damage.

buglord posted:Similar to the bug above, but most of the time I can’t throw people out of my town after beating them up. One of my squad members will grab them, then can’t drop them. Or if they drop them, the KO’d person/thing will throw itself repeatedly into the air and phase into the ground. Stops being as much of an annoyance once you have higher skills and good weapons but at lower levels just take their weapons and kinda ignore them until they are beaten to death which is good practice. There's also a mod that gives humans a heart item so you can kill them like an animal if you want to get that.

Herstory Begins Now posted:Yeah crossbows are really good albeit kind of a pain to level up with all the friendly fire early on. Use a low quality junkbow and let them just fire into your guys to level up precision shooting. Once they have a high chance to not kill their teammates with stuff you can transition them to a good one. Junkbows also fire fast so it levels quickly. I also generally just leave ranged off for easy encounters to conserve ammo. Lining guys up and pulling stuff into an ambush to drop a leviathan or other dangerous poo poo is legit tho. Horrible things like the bugmaster or swarms of AOE monsters like hordes of beak things get wrecked by massed crossbow fire.
