I can't even imagine what the condemnation system would do to our save. Did you know that getting shot a lot gives you condemnations that lower your stats (bullet magnet, patient)?

Also, there are new buildings we probably want so we can get the expected amount of freshness regen, and we don't have space.

One reason why the only 2x2 buildings in my main base are hangars.
But we should be able to dismantle a barracks or two. Or maybe the large one, if we manage to get luxury ones. Though those require school graduation, iirc.

The current problem is we need all of the buildings we currently have, until we can upgrade. We've already upgraded the storage, and gotten rid of extras.

Although it will be less of a concern in a month or so when we can afford to have more specialty bases, and just have Queen Teuta as a research/jack-of-all-trades secondary base. Mary Reed should help a lot once that's up and going (and with 5 brainers from the mess, surgery, library to build the surgery, and...med bay? it can handle its own hostages well enough).

Good job on the meat grinder mission ! Those things are just horrible places.

It's also a reminder that we're surviving because we have armor. Good news is, we don't need any more ghouls, except to ransom back. If we get flying armor with good chem and choking defense, I'd love to go back again.

Honestly, Looter does fine for Organ Grinder. As long as you don't get in close to hounds (or ghouls with wrenches) you're pretty much getting nothing but chem damage (which Looter mostly laughs off) and ambient choking (which Looter totally laughs off). Something like Heavy with a Chem Coat does roughly as well while also obviously being stronger.

As long as you're well prepared, ghoul towns are ~300-500 free points* plus a massive pile of Alliance tokens and random swag.

*Killing ghouls in Organ Grinder is very rewarding points-wise - unless you need research or are completely strapped for cash, there's no good reason not to kill them.

Hounds like to show up around a corner and attack you with their massive pile of TU. Our situation involved both needing the research and the money (we've been quite cash-poor at the start of months, which is why I want Casino).

Looter, space suit, and smoke are all fine for chem resist. Only that one dog and the guy with the flame thrower really managed to do anything to us other than waste TUs.  I guess flying armor and chem-resist items would work here, if we can cobble together enough chem-resist items.

Re: corner-hounds, I've found that's the sort of place where taking your time is good. Pop out, shoot any ghouls in sight, shoot nearby pipes, hide and let the things advance. Take 2-5 early turns moving very slowly in wide-open spaces and waiting for things to flush themselves out. It's not foolproof - dogs will sometimes pop up - but as long as you're not racing against your lungs collapsing, you can be moderately leisurely with clearing those levels. The environment is the biggest threat so once it's neutralized slow-walking your ghoul hunt should be safe and profitable.

Unless RNGsus hates you, of course.

So, how's it going?

[Rolan7]

Aw dang, I'm up aren't I?  I got confused and thought you were still going.  Sorry.
Um, I can play tonight and finish tomorrow probably.

No problem. There's only 3 of us playing (I think), and it buys me more time to play other games.

[Rolan7]

This time we definitely haven't updated to...
K1?  Huh, I was ignoring the J, I guess this does count as a major version.

I'm pretty sure we haven't updated up, particularly considering how long ago the last save upload was.
And I am more than capable of scripting a replacement for the mana values.  when I'm sober.

Just checking, this is j17 yes?

[Iduno]

Yep.

when I'm sober.

Whoa, hey now. There's no reason to get crazy now. How can you play Piratez sober?

[Rolan7]

Yeah, not sure what I was thinking there

But I haven't made any progress and won't be able to this weekend, so I've got to skip.  Sorry (I can blame Halloween partly but also just RL stuff).  Mainly sorry I didn't hand over the turn sooner.

[Iduno]

Robsoie? Euchrejack? Random audience member who wants to...*checks notes* build a casino and fly around in hover suits?

[Robsoie]

I must decline unfortunately.

[EuchreJack]

I must decline unfortunately.

Ditto, although at least mildly tempted.
