It’s a bug. They should like you for that. It is possible that there’s an overflow, with them loving you so much that they end up hating you.

Currently NPC opinion has some redundancy.
Value and anger do roughly the same thing, except in opposite directions. They only really affect your chances of convincing a NPC to do something.
Fear is sometimes positive and sometimes negative. It is used much less than anger and value, but is involved in recruiting new NPCs. For NPCs that are already yours, it doesn’t matter much.
Trust is currently the generic “likes you” stat. This is the most important thing for your NPCs - once it hits 5, the NPC counts as a minion and can be stripped naked, fed mutagens and otherwise upgraded (or abused). It has a relatively low effect on persuasion.

You can increase trust by keeping the NPC well fed.[/quote]
I wonder, could the Corporate Records Questgiver be suspicious because paranoia?

When a wireless.gif icon appears as a message icon in forum posts, what does that mean?

If you can get a save that reliably reproduces the NPC crash, it would be useful in fixing that.

For some reason your save has empty factions block. This is good and bad: good because it’s probably easy to fix, bad because I don’t know what caused it and if it won’t happen again.

To fix this, first make a backup copy of your save’s master.gsav.
Then create a new world and open master.gsav (any text editor should be fine) of the new world and of the world you want to fix.
Then find the “factions” section in both master.gsavs. Overwrite the empty factions section of the old world with the non-empty one from the new world.

If the new world has no master.gsav, create one character in the new world and save the game. Turning static NPCs on could help to make sure the NPC factions are generated.

You can delete the new world after that.

I had that happen once - game would crash any time I came near a place with static NPCs. Of course, I had also ported my character from a previous world on that one, so it was probably something I did wrong.

I’m trying to get “deadened” (post threshold medical mutation)

I have a bunch of medical mutagen and the recipie for serum.

Should I just take all medical serums? Or do I need to do some regular medical mutagen first?

I know serum is a “double dose” of mutagen, and you need it to go post threshold. But I don’t know the rest.

Logrin · 2016-04-27T23:59:19.000Z

Once I ended up with deadened and the max masochist one (canobite?) sent me on a quest to see if artifacts induced pain directly, never did find one.

If you’re going medical you need to get close to the threshold first (you feel something straining to be free flavor text) and then it’s the luck of a draw if a serum will push you over. It has to get over the hump of the other mutations you have first. If you have a ‘bunch’ I’d say save the serums for last.

Well I have 20 regular mutagen right now, after a bit of poppy hunting I could make about that much more. I guess what I’m really asking is: Is there any benefit to making it all into serum?

Also, If I’m reading cenobyte correctly, I would only take negatives to INT from pain?

Serum isn’t exactly 2x as powerful as mutagen. It’s a bit more than 2x as powerful, so if you can safely craft serum, it’s better to do it than not to do it.

Cenobite doesn’t prevent int or per drops. It prevents 75% of speed penalty from pain, but the cap on the penalty is applied after cenobite.

It also makes you 8D

The idea of carrying around an engine block to get my focus up is tempting.

I find a quick way to till soil. Drive a car onto a wall, and you will get furrowed soil under the car.

How do i know if i am eating a balanced breakfast?

What symptoms will I see if Im lacking vitamin x?
at what numerical ranges do symptoms emerge?

do these mineral needs increase with deficit like hunger/thirst/sleep?

My balanced diet of rotten meat pies and pine needle tea sees me waking up with green text affirming just how alert and subtle I am.
