Are there mods that are only available on Steam Workshop? Am I screwing myself if I buy the game through GOG instead? e: bought it on steam and it crashes on startup. I'm trying to figure out how to get the game to run at all; already installed the directX 9 runtime

Leal posted:Well that was a fun foray into the cannibal plains. I run into a group of shrieking cannibals and apparently they didn't like how I shrieked back at them, I booked it to my dear allies the Flotsam Ninja outpost. When I arrive I'm greeted with the ninjas already fighting a different group of cannibals. So now there is this 2 v 1 v 1 going on with my guys and the ninjas fighting shrieking cannibals and the other cannibals. The shrieking bandits come out in the end and thankfully grabbed the other cannibals before running off. They'll eventually loop around into a second row as you add more people. I have a team of IIRC 11 or 12 and it finally started a second row. I figured out my crash on launch bug from a few pages ago. It turns out the game can't detect my trackball as a mouse, and it will crash immediately if it thinks you don't have a mouse plugged in  For people using the low res texture mod for performance - does it still help if you use the full-res terrain textures? I usually play pretty zoomed out so it doesn't really bother me except that the landscape itself looks like pixelated rear end

It's a good habit to pull everybody a few hundred feet away from the battlefield, go into sneak, then heal up. Also, collect a cutlet or a patch of skin from every downed beak thing to keep them from ever getting back up

I have, in that I had a smiling, ingratiating white man with a bible to deal with the fuckers on my behalf, then I had to run from them as my people started to acquire prosthetics and robo friends, then I got swole and wiped them off the face of the earth

AFAIK the builtin storefront will only sell booze and food (I've never actually tried it), though there's a mod that lets you sell a lot more items. IMO you should just move to Squin, where the merchants are, to save yourself time

The anti-slavers don't seem to want to take the guy who ran a slave camp off my hands. I wonder if the nearby skin bandits will be more accommodating?

Yeah, hydroponics is real nice, though it's pretty deep in the tech tree. I ended up feeding my people gohan (rice + vegetables). It takes up more inventory squares than food cubes but it sidesteps all the trouble of baking bread

People always talk about towns getting overrun over time and important characters disappearing - presumably eaten or shanked by bandits - but I haven't had this happen in my game

Dareon posted:Okay, when I installed a mod that said it gave starving bandits loot, I was expecting like, maybe a trade good occasionally. Not giant backpacks full of AI cores and hemp. Yeah, I'm finding some of the mods are ridiculously unbalanced. I have the "shops have more items" mod installed and it gives the bar at The Hub a bunch of ancient science books and engineering research. Every vendor has like half a million cats, give or take $100k. I definitely would not recommend it for a first playthrough but it makes living in town and selling off loot a lot easier. I also installed the weight bench strength training mod, and people say it is cheaty but idgaf - training a primary combat stat should not be as weird and counterintuitive as carrying around dead bodies and rock for weeks on end

Gadzuko posted:Last night I settled in The Eye just north of Venge because there's boatloads of iron and some copper there, and I like the aesthetic of having death lasers blasting away a few meters from my settlement. Thing is it's technically UC territory so they got real mad when they showed up and saw the hemp I was growing, I fought off a few waves of attacks but eventually they overwhelmed me and... left? I'm not hostile to the UC and they didn't even take my food or enslave anyone. Now I'm not even getting visits from the tax man. Did I discover the one weird trick to never paying UC taxes again, or is this just temporary? I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional, but the same thing happened to me with the Shek - I let them take food every time they visited but one time they showed up and just wanted to fight. They came back with ever-larger raids a few more times until it culminated in a "Shek Vengeance" event, which was a good couple dozen Hundred Guardians who absolutely kicked my poo poo in. Then they left and never came back

They'll switch to the secondary weapon if the main weapon is a 2-hander (doesn't fit in the secondary slot) and they get an arm disabled/chopped off, or indoors if the primary weapon has a penalty e: beaten

Cardiovorax posted:Hell if I know why trying to "hide" in your locked, 1.5-feet-square slave cage pisses them off so much, tho. In my experience the guards don't care if you go into stealth mode in your cage (and you seem to get XP for it if there are enough people moving around outside it) but if you're sneaking when they try to let you out, that's a paddlin'

The stat for not shooting your own people is "precision shooting" and you level it by shooting your own people. Give 'em a toothpick and set them behind your melee group and it'll get into the sixties pretty fast

All of the factions in the southeast (reavers, crabby bois, hivers, various skellies) are completely hostile toward each other by default, so that is probably the easiest place to recruit thunderdome contestants

EmbryoSteve posted:Just bought this game as it seems extremely my.jam. Getting more people makes you more likely to win fights, or at least patch up and carry off your wounded people after you lose. $3K recruits have no skill at anything, $6K recruits will at least be good at something, and they'll tell you what it is. There are also unique recruits spread across thew world, who are free, or have good stats, or unique dialogue. There are four unique recruits in Mongrel, including everyone's favorite, but getting there can be a bit of a challenge run like a motherfucker SnoochtotheNooch posted:Hi I am dumb. I am in a bandit town (shark) and baited stupid people to attack me in a bar while standing 5 feet from obviously super geared mercs. They got hosed up and have a bunch of bounties on them now. I am poor and would like to capitalize on this. Can I sell their asses to the local gang that runs the place somehow? I dont see police and dunno how cashing in a bounty works. Mouse over the bounty and it'll tell you which faction you have to turn them in to. AFAIK nobody in Shark hands out bounties but I could be wrong. Generally there will be a police/HQ building in town with an officer you can talk to

With enough research you can eventually make all of the limbs except the thievery/crossbow arms. Also, Edge weapons aren't really worth the high cost to unlock because they don't get the 10% cut damage bonus that real Edgewalker weapons do, and a skilled smith will crank out a high proportion of Edge I weapons as critical successes at the next tier down.

Yeah, it basically just pops up the character creation screen e: one of my strongest recruits ever was a Band of Bones guy who had invaded my base, got his rear end kicked, got picked up by slavers whose asses I also kicked shortly thereafter, then was eternally grateful to me for liberating him.

Donkringel posted:Is there any benefit turning in Holy Nation leader's to flotsam ninjas? I am already allied with flotsam, so if all things being equal I should probably turn faction heads in to the shek for relations boost I think it bumps your faction relation with them up to 100 but doesn't really change anything in the game world. I don't think they pay you, either, but I could be wrong. Having the Shek as allies is definitely worth it, though

I'm pretty sure I've had a stat increase after an animal grew to elder age - athletics jumped from ~70 to 90 when I wasn't looking. All the times I've watched any of their stats train, the green progress bar will fill all the way up and loop back to 0% but the number won't change.

The Lone Badger posted:Mongrel has good stuff for sale but it's a terrible place for a base. Go kidnap a named high inquisitor. I'm not sure whether they'll send the Wrath of God raids just for getting your relations to -100 I'd say World's End and Squin are the best cities on the central-west/northwest side of the map to use as a staging area. Though if you buy the building in World's End you have to cover the roof in mini windmills in order to do any crafting or hydroponics because the city has a massive electricity deficit

Tabletops posted:hmm. so today I went back to one of my spots I had found for a base and prospected again to compare to some other spots in the same area. You're probably off a few yards. Prospecting only gives you the fertility % for the ground right under your feet (I think?). If you wanna see how crops will grow you should go into build mode and wave a farm plot around the area you're interested in

Sillybones posted:When bandits raid successfully what do they steal exactly? Just food stores? Could I buy a building in some town and move all the excess food there? The black dragon ninjas will raid your food. So will the Shek government if you give them permission. Some of the other factions probably will as well but most will just kick your poo poo in and probably stand over you or run back and forth while you bleed out. If you leave your base unoccupied raids will just wait at your gates for you to get back. I’m not certain how they’ll interact offscreen with hired guards. It’s possible to end the black dragon raids entirely by taking out their headquarters in the border zone, which also nets you some bounties and a top quality ninja sword.

I think your stealth move speed is your stealth skill taken as percentage of your normal run speed, with equipment bonuses/penalties applied on top of that. Stealth-boosting gear can actually make you naruto-run faster than you can normie-run. As for getting caught, light level matters, as does line of sight, though once you get to 80 or 90 you can prance around in front of just about anything. Does perception do anything if you're not using a crossbow or turret? I'm thinking the crab helmet is probably the best all around hat in the game if you're not using ranged weapons, because it only has a perception penalty instead of a bunch of combat penalties
