Pretty sure that has been solved in a way. I got missions that were introduced later without doing anything to my save.

Did the update change nighttime graphics? I can't see anything anymore.



I have a gal named "Large Sandwich", who got hit by a molotov and lit on fire. So, I added "Toasted".

Looking at the new version of x-piratez

- Fix: Some passability fixes to Swamp/Arctic watery terrains and Sewers

If swamp is the terrain i'm thinking about, it was the worst terrain ever in the game, so many way to be stuck in a part of it without any walkable (as you only get a way to fly much later in the game) way to reach some other parts of the map,
the sewers (if that's the level below your base) aren't much better, it's hyper convulated for no reason and is so long to navigate (as it takes more TU by tiles) that if you have enemy down there it takes forever to catch them.

I thought so at first, but the sewers are probably a (fairly rare) level that's easily forgotten.

Otherwise fantastic, I savescum before missions to make sure I don't get the swamp. And save edit to cheat-kill everyone in base defense missions who I think might be hiding by swimming in E-115 sludge. (My headcanon is that I'm bolting closed the hatches I'd sensibly have for half an hour or so to let the plainly clothed humans to die of supercancer.)

Last posts of the update page insist that if there are no post from Dioxine with specific instructions in it, there is nothing to worry about. I think truth is somewhere in between.

Pitch darkness has always been pitch dark, but there's a "night vision" mode which helps.  It usually happens by default at nighttime, but sometimes you have to enable it yourself.  The default toggle is scroll-lock, I always change it to spacebar.

(Spacebar defaults to temporary NV as long as it's held down, which... I may have relied on until I found the permanent toggle  XD)
Change-wise the NV color did switch from blue to green for me in this update, but the green is probably a bit easier to see.  There's an option to change the color anyway.

[Robsoie]

It's odd previous version i had the night vision permanently on for the Gals, that was quite nice, and in current version i need to press scroll-lock at every battle again

[Rince Wind]

Have a look if you can set auto nightmode in the options.

[Robsoie]

I don't see such option unfortunately, so no idea why it was always automatic previously, it was so nice to not have to re-enable night vision each night.

But this made me wonder about something i always overlooked : by default your Gals emit light (key L to enable/disable) when it's pitch black, i always thought this was for you to locate your Gals easier in case you didn't enable night vision for some odd reason.

So now i wonder, is it just light emitting for the interface as i originally thought, or is it light emitting for actual gameplay, i mean you just show your Gals location to the enemy by emitting light ?

Spoilers!

Rather humorous, ain't it?


She spent half of the mission digging herself out.

Woof. Almost 4.5 years in, just captured Dr. X. And got myself what appears to be the best gun around.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ah, yeah. Fixed 60% precision. And 40 energy and morale for each autoshot.

Have vile luck on catching star gods, though. Messengers fly around only when my nightmare is broken and have no ammo loaded (priorities!), or when it's not present due to being sold to free space for quest rail pod. I'm remaking it third time now. Grand total of star gods loot for 1.5 years - one captured novice from pop-in pop-out mutant pogrom.
Spoilery questions.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. There is a mission in Dr. X's residence, right? After fallen london, i'm being paranoid about this "to be continued". That it was there for three years, and dev doesn't even plan to make the mission. Can't check myself fast, since i picked longest route with her, that also just happens to require a lot of star god brains.
2. Where\when i can get padlock of chaos? I thought it will be in doom tower mission, but it wasn't. Wait, padlock of chaos?

[Rince Wind]

Robsoie: yes, you emit actual light. Some armors more than others.

MCreeper: Can't answer 1, but have you done the Red Mages Tedious Research (and the new mission tech that might follow it, not sure)?

[MCreeper]

I did researched it, but "tedious research" itself appears to lead only to "black mask origins", for which i need to get said black mask somewhere. And only other rlated missions are just bounty hunter wizard missions, it seems? Can you be more specific on mission type?
EDIT: Wow, stranded govt agent mission? Long time no see.

[Mephansteras]

Well, you guys made me curious enough to check this mod out.

How do you deal with enemies that keep getting back up after you stun them? I fought some necropirates and it took absolutely forever because every one I stunned just got back up after a little while. I eventually had to kill most of them to end the fight.

[Rolan7]

Manacles and possibly rope are useful to add stun damage onto downed enemies.  Necropirates are a bit tricky since I think they regenerate slightly, and are plain resilient in the early game, which is probably why they kept getting up. 

Most of the time you don't have to babysit downed enemies, they count as defeated and are usually pretty harmless without their weapons (if they *need* weapons).  I think there are exceptions to that though, necropirates may be one.

Amusingly I briefly tried a new game in the new version last night, and got my ass kicked by necropirates   I was trying to down them with handles and ballbats, I should have just shot them.

[GiglameshDespair]

Fighting necropirates doesn't seem worthwhile. They don't drop any great loot and they aren't worth much themselves. Their muskets are powerful enough when they do hit they're likely to injure your gal rather than bounce off like smaller calibres.

[MCreeper]

Nevermind, just got the mission for padlocks.
