Bottom post of the previous page:

Have fun getting cucked, in every /tg/ vidya thread Geist was the leading murder boning in all forms of combat. May many boomrats and parasitic horrors plague your tiny rock hole.

So I forgot this was a thing.

Spoiler:

So because it makes an annoying noise and mechanoids are absolute hitler in Combat Realism, I took the only rational approach:

Spoiler:

The ship part didn't do so well, I had to admit I had to do a slight bit of devmode cheating because an inferno-cannon centipede spawned. The current beta version of CR has a bug where the centipede's armor value is so high that not even the dev-mode kill command can actually kill it, as well the inferno cannon's (a weapon meant more for blasting fire) bugged values can currently cut through several walls of plasteel (strongest vanilla material at 980 hp) in a single shot and usually vaporizes anyone within a 10 mile radius.

Spoiler:

I tried to fight it legitimately at first, I swear.

Wait can I put my name in and get a recruit named after me?
Or do you design the dude and then put him in?

Cause I want in

I'll take named recruits, only way to change in-game colonists is through a 3rd party tool, which hasn't been updated for like 3 alphas.

Anyway, a siege team came at the same time as a manhunter pack of boars.

Spoiler:

Many keks were had.

Venticular · Post by **Venticular** » Tue May 03, 2016 1:11 pm #173314

Well alright then, named recruit Bjorn Selander
Also is it possible for me to become a fully bionic man? As a kind of end goal?

Seeing how I've managed a huge surplus of plasteel, probably.

Also, a passing pirate raider ship just ate shit straight into the colony, dropping ordinance into someone's bedroom and exploding everywhere.

Spoiler:

Ok seriously that's the second time now stop crashing your fucking ships into the compound.

EDIT: Another siege team came, this time with a lot more firepower. I guess they were expecting more boars.

Spoiler:

That was easy.

Post by **MMMiracles** » Tue May 03, 2016 3:30 pm #173355

An actual ok-sized raid came, all melee.

Spoiler:

Wow, ok then assholes. I didn't get a picture but it was them essentially banging down at the compound wall while everyone else shot at them. The shields didn't do much past delay the inevitable for them.

Also, Robinson and Pharon are lovers now apparently. Andrews even made a special engraved bed to celebrate the occasion.

Spoiler:

Hilarious.

EDIT: We now have a pet boar named "Singer", neat.

Luv can bloom in space. Also i am surprised, science grills are usually really mean. I am curious, what traits does Caleb have? I like giving my combat colonists prosthophile and loading them up with sick robo limbs for a huge permanent happiness boost

I didn't really bother touching traits unless they were super shit. Caleb has abrassive, iron-will, and hard worker. So hes an asshole but he works hard.

Spoiler:

So, uh, a big tribal raid came from the group we butchered earlier for food.

Spoiler:

I set Skorvold out with a targetter to mark the group for artillery. The first shot hit fairly close and knocked quite a few out, but that left the rest really pissed off and with Skorvold in the horizon.

Spoiler:

Well, there goes Skorvold; In the arms of the same tribe we ate for dinner. With literally nobody in sight that could catch up in time.

Well, uh, I mean hes not TECHNICALLY dead yet, he could totally come back in the future. Or get eaten by the tribe, I dunno.

Wyzack · Post by **Wyzack** » Tue May 03, 2016 4:15 pm #173378

Rip Skorvold, you will be missed. If only we could launch a rescue mission and burn their goddamned tribal hovel to the ground

Does Caleb have a scar or missing limb? He seems to be perma damaged

The humerus in his right arm was shattered awhile ago, I haven't bothered to start making bionic limbs as of yet until I get a huge surplus of components.

Wyzack · Post by **Wyzack** » Tue May 03, 2016 4:27 pm #173388

Are you in A13 or A12? I assume A13 since you have to worry about components but i did not think Combat Realism had been updated yet. If it had i should really start playing again. The ability to make high-end bionics is really awesome

Did you rescue them from the initial wreckage? I may have missed it while skimming through previous posts

Jokes on you I just got a new recruit.

Landale, now known as Selander, has joined the colony after almost a month of convincing from Pheer. Another prisoner sits in their room from an earlier raid, so its a start to start replacing the gaps.

They do everything okay-ish, except mining and construction. They haven't a fucking clue how to do that.

In other news, the tomb that will house all future colonists in the afterlife has been built. Leonid has taken new residence here, with a slightly less morbid engraving on their new coffin.

Spoiler:

so bionic legs, arms, and eyes increase movement speed, manipulation and sight
what do bionic organs do?
make them better at living?

also a late RIP in pieces to hanz
always remembered for being retarding and going insane during a siege and promptly throwing themselves into the crossfire

Post by **MMMiracles** » Tue May 03, 2016 6:21 pm #173432

Things are pretty quiet ever since Skorvold was kidnapped by tribals. Current overview so far:

Spoiler:

Well, then another pirate ship crashed into the compound. Seriously what the fuck is with these people stop aiming the colony you cocks.

Post by **MMMiracles** » Tue May 03, 2016 6:37 pm #173445

Another tribal raid, different group this time.

Spoiler:

They don't seem to understand that majority of the weapons we have vastly outrange them.

Spoiler:

Anyway, ship research is underway now that we have a multi-analyzer and a surplus of material. I doubt we'll get to ever see Skorvold before the ship is built, but hey, shit happens.

EDIT: Robinson proposed to Pharon, she said no. That was too much for Robinson apparently and went berserk. Andrews incapicated him with a buckshot, how fun.

Pharon is still sleeping in the bed with the lewd engraving, too.

EDIT 2: A lone traveler from a faction came by to chat, talked about some sort of ancient ruins nearby and gave a location. Sent out Pompadour, Selander, and Robinson to check it out. If they're not back in 4-6 days then they're probably dead and the life lesson will be to not trust strangers about strange locations.

Andrews is the glue holding this colony together

Post by **MMMiracles** » Wed May 04, 2016 1:42 am #173593

Oh look, the team made it back.

Spoiler:

Oh, some attackers? That can't be that bad.

Spoiler:

Ohhhh

Spoiler:

hhhhhhhh

Spoiler:

Oh look, its the centipede I shot a fuck-ton of artillery at, the tribals will fight it for me.

Spoiler:

..I guess that works too.

Spoiler:

I'm assuming we just raided some pirate stash but again most raiders don't seem to realize that trying a front assault is a horrible idea.

Just to give an idea on the tribal body pile:

Spoiler:

Zilenan91 · Post by **Zilenan91** » Wed May 04, 2016 1:45 am #173594

So a bunch of raiders spawned at once, slaughtered each other and then the rest charged the walls and got mowed down?

Post by **MMMiracles** » Wed May 04, 2016 1:52 am #173597

Apparently a few of the tribals from the pile got up, most of them were missing both of their arms. So when we went to grab their loot, they'd aggressively shuffle towards the colonists but couldn't actually hit.

I almost feel bad for the savages.

I like how this game is becoming a combat-oriented Dwarf Fortress in space

Post by **MMMiracles** » Wed May 04, 2016 2:05 am #173607

Spoiler:

Ship progress as of far. I still need about 6k more steel and 36 more components to fully finish it for launch. Its not pretty but it'll get us off this shit-hole.

Zilenan91 · Post by **Zilenan91** » Wed May 04, 2016 2:05 am #173608

Do you want to win right when you finish it or if you're in a decent spot will you try and continue the colony

Zilenan91 wrote:Do you want to win right when you finish it or if you're in a decent spot will you try and continue the colony

I've gotten about as far as I can with what I currently have installed. Raids are only going to increase in size as it goes and the main goal as is anyway is to get off the planet. Other mods I've been wanting to try out but they require a new colony so, yeah, I'll probably take the ship win when its ready.

If it makes you feel better, I set Skorvold's fire rate to full auto as a last ditch attempt. He sprayed down at least 10 with his AK before overwhelming numbers won out.

And I got a engraved bed to boot. Neat.

Post by **MMMiracles** » Wed May 04, 2016 8:26 pm #173836

Well, it's been an interesting stay. We've lost a few people along the way, but we also gained a few too.

Spoiler:

As the last of the colony boards into their cryptostatis pods, leaving behind over 2 years of progress. Nanotrasen has probably already long forgotten/replaced you all by now anyway, so its up to whatever shitty AI we installed into the ship to guide us into glory, or into the sun; that's just the gamble you take when you install an AI you found from a rogue ship into your escape vessel.

Spoiler:

RIP Leonid and Skorvold. One forever entombed on this shitty rock and the other most likely a sacrificial dinner to a bunch of savages.

I'll probably look into another run once CR releases their stable build, which includes all the non-glitchy defensive shit and turrets. Probably get some industrialization mods too so late-game will be based more around maximizing production instead of leaving the planet.

Start plugging any decent A13 mods while you can if you're interested in another run in the future.
