ughhhh posted:How do you manage wealth? Just sell stuff? Yeah, for wealth management purposes if you ever find yourself needing more storage for something then you probably ought to be selling that stuff or giving it away for standing points with another faction. You lose overall Wealth when selling stuff for under its base value, and then again when buying stuff at a markup with that silver, and ideally wind up with something useful like good armor or the stuff to make it instead of something you didn’t need like 5,000 extra corn or enough smokeleaf joints to kill a Thrumbo.

Has anybody figured out how to use Beer as a weapon? It's listed as one of the things you can't use in a weapons conflict; I think it's blunt vs pointy, but I could be wrong.

worth noting the Plants Specialist increases harvest yield by 30%, and plants yield is further altered by things like sight and manipulation stats - blindness is a large malus and I'm not sure Tunneler gets anything to help with harvesting in complete darkness. e: yield is simply capped at 100%, which isn't that hard to hit, it turns out weirdly, darkness has no effect on it although the "vision" stat does (probably that's an .... oversight  )

Anyone know what's up with this option when editing starting scenarios? I googled and the only thing I can find is a reddit post from 6 days ago from someone else asking the same question and not getting any answers. Is this something from a mod, or is it some vestigal development thing added in Ideology? I can't find a way to save a structure that I can load into a starting map but the idea of having a pre-built base I can plop down with me on every new colony automatically is rad.

Impermanent posted:is there a list of wealth breakpoints i should be concerned with or is it just "stay low to the ground" in general There aren't to my knowledge breakpoints, whichever storyteller you pick is throwing events at you with values based on your wealth (and, grossly, time since landing for Cassandra and Phoebe), so you want some major proportion of that to come from weapons, armor, psycasts, chrome, and static defenses like turrets and traps. Probably also, once wealth management becomes a concern on your embark, some kind of organized hospital.

I've said it before but you really shouldn't be stressing out about your colony wealth. The only time it really matters is if you're on one of the high difficulties and need to minimize the risk from every raid. Admittedly there's a few weird outliers like poorly balanced modded events dropping gold statues on your base or something, or if you actively go out of your way to make decorations and stockpile resources and never make anything useful, but the latter is pretty much just part of learning how to play the game.

Yeah I just set the threat level to like, 80% which I find makes quite a pleasant experience and then go ham on building poo poo. Unless you're deliberately stockpiling gigantic quantities of stuff, I don't find it to be a problem really. Especially if you go for lots of stonework, which i think has fairly low value compared to its vlsual appeal, then you can boost up value with the odd expensive material art piece where you need to.

Works fine though, spawning dryads. That happened on sand too but apparently it grows back over time (and I guess dies again) It's OK to set the max on the gauge thing to 100, it only takes a while for it to build up to max and then it maintains the same as any other level. e: Tunneler and High Life is a very hard combo

Yeah I figured that, just need to see if/how it affects when they go to do the job, like I was wondering if they would do it in tiny shifts whenever it dropped below 100. We'll see, I only have one tree and one proper planter so it's kind of a secondary priority anyway. Just nice to have a source of wood given that I haven't had sunlight in six years.

Gauranlen Tree Protip: if you change caste, you have to manually force the human liaison to go change it interactively, they seem to never actually do it on their own. Took a while to figure this out, and I thought I had to slaughter the nymphs or something to make them convert - don't do this, after you force the owner to change it then they will automatically metamorphose to the new caste. re: wood in low light, fibercorn only needs 30% light to grow

In my previous playthrough, I befriended the rough outlanders and fierce tribe and didn't have enough overhead mountain tiles in my map to spawn bug raids. I guess because of the small number of enemies and some bad luck, nearly every attack on my settlement was from mechanoids. In my current cannibal raider slaver flagellant playthrough, I added a cannibal tribe, nudist tribe, and cannibal pirate group and generated the world with maximum population density. I settled in a place near settlements belonging to several different factions, in case proximity makes a difference. I also pissed off each of the neutral factions, so every faction is my enemy. In spite of this, it seems like nearly every attack on my settlement is from mechanoids! Also, the non-mechanoid raids seem skewed far more toward tribal factions even though tribal factions make up less than of the population. What gives? I was hoping for more gunfights! I was fighting so few gun users that I had to make my own guns for like the first time ever, just so I could replace my bolt action rifles! I never knew assault rifles took so many components! It also took forever to scavenge up enough heavy SMGs to give my three noncombatants personal defense weapons! Also, not enough good clothes pulled off of dying enemies to keep my people in non-tattered clothes. Is it because my colonists are living in squalor and I haven't built any automated defenses? Is the game showing me mercy because I haven't bothered to build a wall or a killbox for the first time ever? Here's my terrible raider hovel, Roadside Picnic, home of The Torture Friends:  Here's the temple, crafting/research area, open-air dining room, chop shop, and some prisoner oubliettes:  Here's my kitchen, slave lodgings, and multicultural battle arena:  Impermanent posted:But I want my base to be pretty lol

Got tired of all these new recruits having mental breakdowns from not having their ideology catered to, so now they're all arrested for fast track reeducation.  Almost tempted to try switching a meme to Proselytizer to see if that accelerates conversions, since the default pace seems really slow with one conversion ritual a quadrum and a Convert action every three days (which locks you out of the other moral guide actions, that Preach Health can be a literal lifesaver). The way the math works out it seems like you really need that critical mass of believers for the ritual to work effectively too.
