What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

[DG123]

Well, things just got interesting. I went to explore a pharmacy and when I was in there I noticed one of the walls looked weird so I examined it. Turned out to be the side of a huge destroyed military mobile gun platform.

In the spirit of experimentation I tried removing parts from it. While the composite plating crumbled into scrap… the Browning M2 and its ammo was perfectly fine.

Nice.

I’m literally living in hell right now. 3 triffid groves and 2 slime pits in the last 2 cities I’ve been in. If I didn’t have fungaloids disabled, I’d have them all over, too.

I need to make a mod to disable triffids and slimes already…

[Random_dragon]

Wunderbar. Meanwhile I’ve yet to run out of blobs to murder. ;A;

Meh, triffids and slimes are NOTHING compared to fungaloids - the buggers are SO SO SO hard to actually completely get rid of.

And if you’re next to a river, just forget it - never gonna happen.

I gotta love Triffids and Blobs personally. They’re just living their life, no biggie, occasionally gnawing on some wildlife.

Fungaloids are stealing the planet, I tell you.

[Random_dragon]

Bah. I must purge the blob. Puuuurge.

Nothing moves purges The Blob!

It’s no longer funny when 30% of the non-building tiles in a town are triffid mini-groves and there’s 2 triffid groves outside the city. And there’s slime pits on both roads out.

;_;

[Random_dragon]

I raided a pawn shop, traded my zweihander for an arming sword.

In the morning, I plan to exterminate any remaining blobs. Annoying little things…

[SkyeAuroline]

I tried using my Mark 19 to purge the heretical blobs, triffids, and turrets alike.

Frag grenades are not powerful.

I didn’t kill a single one.

I made a mod that removes Nether Creatures & slime pits from the game.
Sadly, that doesn’t include the Triffids and their respected Generated Areas/Homes…

Aw, that’s wonderful! Hordes of plant people things. I’m pretty sure they drop Essence if you have the Arcana mod, too.

[Random_dragon]

They are otherworldly, yeah. Lemme grab the chances…

EDIT:

Gentlemen, behold!

Standard triffid: 10% chance of dropping 1 essence (the norm for otherworldly yet mundane monsters)
Young triffid: 5% chance of dropping 1 essence (the norm for young monsters is half the odds of whatever they grow into)
Fungal fighter: 50% chance of dropping 1 essence
Triffid queen: 25% chance of dropping 1 essence (only monsters with the actual “QUEEN” flag get the boss-level essence drop)
Creeper hub: 15% chance of dropping 1 essence
Biollante: 15% chance of dropping 1 essence
Vine beast: 10% chance of dropping 1 essence
Triffid heart: 100% chance of dropping 2-5 essence (anomalous monsters with the QUEEN flag tend to drop this many)

[quote=“Litppunk, post:8585, topic:47”]I’ve always been a little curious about that too. I think confidence is likeliness to hit. Period. While steadiness is exactly what it sounds like. So:

confidence:****++±—
Steadiness:***********

is how it appears:

• = chance of critical

• = chance of solid hit
  | = chance of glancing blow[/quote]
  This part is correct, except it’s crit/solid/regular hit, glancing isn’t represented. Your speculation about the formulas are a bit off though. Steadiness doesn’t directly factor into chances of success, it’s just a meter that tells you how close to “max aim” you are.

[Litppunk]

darn. Well I guess I was close enough for practical purposes anyways.

Considering all that, I wish arcana was an easier mod to access. I’ve gone a full year as a scavenger and maxed over half the skills (rust off), but I haven’t found a single copy of the uh… necromancer’s notes? alchemist’s notes? I forget. But yeah, wish I could actually get into it at some point.

[Random_dragon]

Apprentice’s notes? Yeah, it can be hard to get started.

Search mansions, cultist caverns, cathedrals, the added curious structure…

[SkyeAuroline]

Well, my APC has its side modules and is somewhat trucking along, though I can’t use any of my over-a-thousand water because faucets are broken and I don’t know how to purify directly out of a tank yet. In more spoilery news…

[spoiler]I found the vault.

Too bad it crashes every time I get within 2 map tiles of the mini-town over it.[/spoiler]

[Random_dragon]

Ouch. Such crashy goodness. ;w;
