Well, they are either running away from The Unbidden (the whole "hunter" thing matches), or Paradox could make each crisis evolve (much like The Unbidden do, with The Aberrant and The Vehement), with Prethoryn followed by The Hunters, and AI rebellion doing... Something. Giving void clouds...

Jazaen

Undivided maybe? Back when it was a bit more distinct, rather than just "confused or delusional".

Also, if you are psionic, you can kind of communicate with the Scourge. It seems they are running away from something.

Silly organics fucked reality again.

That would be kind of OP, given that right now lava is used to slow down lavaland movement. We'd have to implement some sort of uber-lava, to fill that role.

Jazaen

Ha, that's why you go the mechanical ascension route! Filthy meatbags played with forces beyond their understanding. Some things that synth ascension does: - All leaders get bonus to what they do, due to a trait. - Oh, and they are immortal now. - No need for food. - Pops can still grow, but you can...

Jazaen

That's what you get for ignoring big red letters!

Jazaen

Sooooooooon.

Wiz is actually a communications drone from Paradox Hivemind.

Jazaen

Soon.

Make it so that LORE-wise the vault is stored in 11th dimension, to prevent degradation, and you actually have to power the retrieval device to re-compress it to normal space. I think code is even there, with holodeck, and this would allow for admins manually replacing contents with stuff.

Jazaen

How badly lavaland bombs lag depends on strength, station-side factors, population and just random chance, from what I've noticed. As for Antags bombing stuff, maybe make standard TTVs useable only on other zlevels or during red alert, and give traitor sci roles an option to purchase an obviously sy...

Jazaen

Hm, as in, "supply X power to access Y" for vaults? The power required would have to be large enough so that a single PACMAN-family generator cannot supply it, but that would require laying LOTS of cable. Maybe a specialized power-gen mech?

Jazaen

We could also go for a monster that's able to replicate using corpses. I know legion hosts can do it, but they are pretty much harmless, unless in large numbers, while I think of something more similar to a chrysalid.

Jazaen

>Nearly four times

Nearly sixteen times, since it's an area, so k is squared.

Jazaen

We could scale it with relation to gamemode, with non-conversion multiple antags (tator, lings, DA, blob, Ayys 1 and 2) having normal corruption spread, conversion antags (cult 1 and 2, rev, possibly gangs) having slower corruption spread to account for large parts of crew not working towards escapi...

Jazaen

Then we keep Box and Meta, since those seem pretty well maintained.

Jazaen

What if there is something strange an anomalous about this planet that causes sensor interference and messes with communications? Linked to the necropolis maybe? It could have been part of why the ship crashed in the first place, as well as a justification to keep the anomaly random events that we ...

Jazaen

That, and there is still going to be a need for a fourth Z-level, for purposes of Nukeops/wizards/where-gateway-leads/abductors/adminmemes, though that one could be standard size.

Also, where would the Gateway be located? On the surface, on underneath it?

Jazaen

When I say "KOTOR 3", I don't actually mean direct sequel to KOTOR - in fact, that's pretty unlikely, seeing as KOTOR is legends now, they'll probably want to make a canon story. I mean a Star Wars RPG (which would be KOTOR in all but name), that Bioware will inevitably make sooner or lat...

Jazaen

Yay.
Are plasma fires going to spread through Z levels?

Jazaen

Still waiting for an option to play a game straight from CK2 (or, hell, from Vae Victis) to Stellaris.

EDIT: Also, Ottomans are usually your best bet in EUIV AI-controlled large nation "who lasts longest" competition, since they don't really have much to oppose them there.

Jazaen

Remember Simia Orichalcae? We wouldn't be limited to changelings.

Jazaen

Where did I put my reaction fold... Oh, there it is.

Spoiler:

Depends how your comissar is doing, really. Him, or Engiseers.

Jazaen

Mandatory reaction picture.

Jazaen

Kor just gonna ask this in public instead of coderbus, what will change as to atmospherics? Right now if you have a breach you die of cold and pressure loss, what about the new planetary map? You'll die of oxyloss and maybe being poisoned but probably not pressure I mean, if the multi-level ruins g...

Jazaen

Because of the famous "Finds cache of lost technology, defeats it's masters" cliche.

Jazaen

I think Steelpoint is right here, in that we need more than one station goal to progress towards, as sooner or later someone will create the perfect "get off the planet" guide. Unless you want to close the codebase, that is. Also, I think I once heard some coder saying that increasing map ...

Jazaen

Assuming Remie's Multi-Z level station project goes through, maybe we could use it? It's either that, or larger Z-Levels, since fitting so much onto a current Z-level without dramatically reducing possible station population is somewhere between hard and impossible.

Jazaen

Alright look Its between buff weapons, buff armor, and remove stuns You can't have one, you can't have two. Either all sides have to stop being overbearing cunts and saying "NO YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT PR WERE MOVING AWAY FROM STUNS" or we can just never touch the combat system and stagnate in...

Jazaen

But 'tis the codememe day!
Pretty much all should be fine, unless Gamemaster returns from it's deep grave to haunt us again.

Jazaen

Let's just merge all coders into one entity to end the confusion.

Also, exploration here is mostly lavaland-based, so pods wouldn't see that much use.

Jazaen

New trailer is upon us. Praise our Paradox Overlods! PRAISE! WHAT WAS SHALL BE WHAT SHALL BE WAS WHAT WAS SHALL BE WHAT SHALL BE WAS
Also, those FTL drive effects.

Yes, but singuloose is, right now, the easiest "fuck everyone" to institute and, at the same time, hardest to deal with. It takes one emag or just a pair of wirecutters, crowbar and screwdriver to get to engineering, where you can either set the PA to 2 or 3 or get insulated gloves and cut...

Jazaen

Yeah, this one allows you to both play tall, and adds a bunch of internal stuff to worry about. Also, Hive Minds seem interesting, if somewhat aggressive by design, since you can't invite other pops over and your own pops die when stranded/migrating. Plus no influence/unity bonus if factions are hap...

Jazaen

Utopia is the first real non-storyarc non-aesthetic DLC, really.
Also, not sure if they will do much improvements to sector AI, but so far they've confirmed they are adding "what sector AI will do" window to sector management.

Jazaen

Doth thy have the Leviathans DLC installed? Also, scan the galaxy intensely, they are bound to come up sooner or later.

Also, best one is the orb - you don't need to fight it, and if it's in your borders, you have a good chance of getting... Well, spoilers

Jazaen

Then I am behind on my streams. Oh well.
ALSO:
- EDIT: Shit, that was a mod. Sad times.
- Factions

Jazaen

Also, this update + DLC add, among others: - Empire-wide food (possible, not announced but seen on one of Wiz' screens) - Standard Construction Templates (Not Standard Template Constructs), one of Ascension perks that gives some bonuses and whatnot. - Fourth planetary bombardment option (labelled: A...

Jazaen

Well, supposedly something REALLY BAD happens when you do this. And I think this expansion adds two more civilizations to the group occupied by the Prethoryn Scourge, Unbidden and AI Consciousness.

Anyway, if you do this in MP, you should, for starters, expect everyone around you to pile up on you.

Jazaen

I am getting a strong Legacy of the Void vibe from this.

I think this thing requires quite some exposure time. Plus, it either kills very slowly and with much uncertainty, or gives quite obvious signs of radiation poisoning.

Jazaen

Word of note, there is second edition of Mage: The Awakening, but first one is better known. Just putting this out here.

Jazaen

Rules-wise - yes, and with Matter arcana you can blend stuff together. Rulebook gives as an example shotgun majicked together with a nailgun, resulting in a shotgun that can be loaded with nails. Just don't let sleepers disassemble it! Mages are just humans with DEEPER UNDERSTANDING (and awakend sou...

Also, mandatory reminder, that with forces 5 mages can create miniature suns. No, they don't do burn damage... But they count as sunlight, and standing in spell radius gives vamps 3 AGGRAVATED DAMAGE per turn. And one aggravated in double radius.

Well, you technically *could*. When sleeper sees magic that screams *MAGIC* (as I wrote before, there are spells that, if cast in a right way (("Oh, I punched the door in just the right way to break the lock!", or anything else than can be feasibly explained. Sleepers latch onto explainati...

So if i go normal human i can fuck over wizards just by looking at them cast spells? Does this put them at greater risk than it does myself, or is it about the same? Depends. If that spell is something wizard could feasibly do without magic (most low-experience spells go into this category), then i...

Jazaen

But if a normal bean sees it, you get fucked in 11 dimensions by Mage's Daemons EDIT: Also, I think transformong yourself too much does bad things to your wisdom. Or was it Genius the Transgression? Also, while demons have GM hunting for them, they have NO MORALITY METER. Something to do with never ...

Jazaen

That's the thing with mages - an unprepared one is worse than a normal mortal of similar expertise.
