Bioshuffle posted:I've just about had it. If it happens again, I am just going to use cheats to cancel them out. Do any of you enjoy them? Tell me why you think it should stay in the game. Odin should rub you into the dirt, imho. Invasions/raids are one of the best and immersive parts of the game. Makes it feel more like a living, breathing, and and brutal world. As it should be. Take a moment and view things from the perspective of the dwarves that you routinely go forth to wholesale slaughter. Do you imagine they have forums where they can gripe about how unfair it all is, and that they will get fed up and use dwarven cheat codes next time you go ransacking them?

Reik posted:They will be instanced, the devs have said they do not want to create caves you can build in. What's wrong with the instanced dungeons and troll caves, though? Dunno, I kind of prefer a more smooth transition, and seeing if there is a troll there near the entrance before heading in. Also the portal mechanic lends to cheezing the fights. Hop in, shoot/swing hop out, heal up, rinse repeat. I would ask why building in caves would be bad. Just make them more susceptible to monster attacks.

Giving up hope with epic loot. Installed the BepInEx, installed Extended Items, installed epic loot: Horrible frame rate and input lag. Reinstalled the entire game fresh, ran great. Installed the addons, runs like poop. May be time for a graphics card update, or just not use mods.

Finally got around to sailing to the elder location. Mined an ocean blob on the way. I was pleased to find that the elder pad was on the tip of elevated land next to the ocean, and a well preserved stone tower like 40 feet from the slab.

Yep, that is a little tiny swamp at the southern tip, and a river ravine (fjord?) up the SW edge. The ocean is on the far side of the elder altar when viewed from the top of the intact tower.  Would the elder be able to reach me on top of the tower, or would it be able to damage the tower? Was considering putting the portal up there if not underneath the slab.

Well, I really don't care all that much about boss fights, so I guess I will just cheese it and fight from underneath the slab. Just want to get past him for the upgrades. In unrelated, I am excited to get portals up and running, not because I hate travel but more because days are too friggin short and I seem to average half of a night dealing with storms each trip.

Any "cheesing" methods will likely take more time and effort to prep for than you'd actually save compared to just fighting him.

Welp, I didn't exactly end up cheesing him, unless you count standing out of range while he stood still, and continually pummeled him with arrows The shaman never showed up to heal him, so eh. He dead. I got a little too close to my tower and he poked a hole in it, which is fine as I needed a ground level window. By the by, I got epic loot to work. I think trying to boot from the mod manager was causing it to run in non-vulkan mode. Once I manually installed and boot directly from steam (in vulkan) it runs nicely. Now to build a shrine so I can trash the junk magic loot like hammers.

Landed on an island with a little meadow along shore, next to black forest, next to swamp (with one of those spiral staircase down things on it's edge), just below a mountain and then plains. I've died a few times. I am playing like a squirrel, and find it hard to focus. fake edit: and the merchant camp on the far end. For the record I am still "bronze age", and have merely dipped my foot into the swamp.

Haven't yet seen the new mob, but I do have a semi pet star troll that is hanging out on the edge of the swamp, smashing SOMETHING with the tree trunk. Whatever he's been battling, it has been almost a day. The upside is the noise he makes attracts all the swamp critters, and he 1 shots them. Edit: pet troll finally died. :abloo: Hasselblad fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Nov 28, 2021 |

Question about Aboms: Does it have to be a newly "unfogofwarred" swamp in order to have them? I have sparingly been coming online the past week, and there is a 50% or so chance that my neighborhood troll has spawned on the edge of the swamp next to me, and he whacks at leeches. skellies and draugs willy nilly, but I have not seen a abom appear to take them on yet. Perhaps not attracted to noise made by faction enemies? Maybe they only populate newly discovered swamps? Semi inebriated edit: Fcuk I hate coming online and forgetting to eat, just to be reminded to eat by the draug archers that one-shot me. fuq Hasselblad fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Dec 8, 2021 |

WELP Found my first abom. Went up into one of my swamp tree houses, began pelting it with arrows. It began to run away, and then promptly tripped into the sunken stairwell I mentioned earlier in the thread. Now every black forest thing that attacks it causes it to demolish yet more of the stairway. It is quite stuck, and I do not want to kill it, because the loot would sink. Fuq

Killed the abom, the wood stuff floated but uncertain if it dropped anything that sunk. He had destroyed the stairs so I was treading water trying to get out for quite some time. Found a slight bump where I could stand and pickaxe a way out. The critter was actually useful while alive, as the black forest critters were continuously drawn to it instead of my base. Yesterday evening was painful. My good gear on and a full inventory. Ran smack dab into a drug spawner. Figured I would just bash it and run. It spawned wayyyyy too many, and oh hey look at that a skeleton spawner literally right next to it. So many Graves. Spent this AM gathering mats for an emergency set of portals. My plan is to sneak/run in and hop on a permalog, drop a bench and stairs up to a safe distance and snipe the nests, with the portal up with me. Did I mention I had a full pack upon first death? Having anything in your inventory causes the grave to open your inventories and the grave inventory, in effect blinding you to everything you want to avoid. Good times

Still fun, but the sunken crypt in comparison to the swamp above, seemed a bit... underwhelming. I feel the biggest challenge was transport of the scrap iron back to base, and trips back to repair my pick. It is actually a relief to be able to slowly go room to room at my own pace.

Second abom found. Lured it out to where another troll spawned, it killed the troll aaaaand retreated to the same well/stairway the last abom dove into. I have to think that it just looks for deep water to be idle in.

Shield chat. Have been using a round bronze shield, and was getting used to the parry mechanic. With the epic loot mod (which is awesome) I have a collection of different resist ones and health/stamina ones. Fast forward to my first epic dropping: a wooden tower shield. I was pretty excited up until the point I equipped it, movement slowed to a crawl, and no more shield parry. What is the upside of these again?

BrianRx posted:I'm extremely impressed with your builds and am just starting to get away from boxy structures myself. But uhh... you guys are using the nocost mode and the build camera mod, right? Like, you're not cutting down hundreds of trees and hauling them home or building scaffolding for all that are you? I have to laugh when I see builds on the reddit that claim "vanilla, no mods!". The reality is likely that they have a seed for boss killing, a seed for a quarry, a seed for mining, and a seed for clearcutting, then the seed they actually build on. That way the invasions won't affect the mega builds Have to be honest, it is tempting to seed hop.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I don't know why needing to add a functional chimney for smoke and rain protection adds so much to the enjoyment of building in the game, but it really does. I love it. Even more so that just having a roof piece directly above it is not 100% protection, when storm rain comes down on an angle. Had to modify my cooking hut due to this. The level of thought put into stuff like that is amazing in this age of shallow cash grab games.

Thorn Wishes Talon posted:Mead is still the only poison resist method available to you when you first start the biome. Because as I said later, if you're at a point where you can reliably farm the mats for the root helm, that means you're fairly decked out and poison won't be an immediate death sentence at that point anyway. You need to find and kill at least two abominations, more if you want to upgrade it. Good luck doing that in bronze armor (unless you're with a group I guess). You can literally kill them nekkid. Just jump on one of the downed perma trees, and they cannot hit you.
