Unreal Engine Breeders of the Nephelym [v0.762.1 Early] [DerelictHelmsman]

[BillyMcBillyson]

Took a moment for the acronym BOTN to read as Breeders of the Nephelym and not Breath of the Naked.

I tried and released like 20 with lvl 20 and nothing

by releasing 8 pregnant lvl 30 i see uncommon and rare with tier 2 perks, i don't think the math from the wiki is accurate anymore, but you should have a level 2 or 3 of whatever species you released

What are the Demonic runes/Demonic presence for?

 

[Betar]

the problem of the world solved or not ????

World lvl works only for same nephelym what you release, for example releasing foxes for leveling wild dragons won`t work

I opened up the desert before the shores...

I can steal the keystone from mega slime,
but is there another solution without cheating?

what do you have open and who have you done requests from? if you haven't yet done petra's request you might still have a chance.

Alternatively, you can glitch your way down from the bee area to the shores and plains areas if you solve an (unintentional) jumping puzzle and are patient. Then you can activate the quests in those areas to get the necessary keys to finish everything off.

The basic idea is to start at the stone bridge leading from the plains to the jungle neko area (preferably grabbing the respawn stone here for when you fuck up).

1. Turn to face the hill while at the top of the stairs (i.e. the direction of the ranch), and note that a few well placed jumps can get you on top of the stone columns. One jump to the rock, a second to a higher rock, then a third to the column.
2. From there, you go over the mountain (toward the ranch) or around the right side by jumping around and down the geography, being careful not to fall too far or slide of the edge.
3. The shores are actually easier to get down to (going around the right side) as there is no invisible wall on this path. In contrast, getting to the plains requires you to go all the way around to the gate (where the wall invisible wall ends just short of the door). It isn't trivial, but it isn't speedrun difficulty either, and I have done it 3 different times for different release builds to avoid disappointing slime waifu and to unlock certain nephs/traits early.
4. Once you are done exploring the new areas and collecting missions, just save and reload to return to the ranch, or if you have already unlocked the desert, you can just open the portal in that area instead.

TLDR - Just skyrim your way over the geography to break the fucky progression system.

So far the worst thing they've done with this update is removing the quick release button on a new birth.

 

[TrashBandit]

Hay quick question and I know me and someone else asked this before but does anyone have access to feral spirit forms. If so can you tell me how to change to it.

just press esc/what ever you set the cancel button to, it will ask you if you want to release

Breeders of the Nephelym (BOTN) Incest Patcher

THE PATCHER IS NOT NEEDED ANYMORE

You can easily enable incest in the game as shown below:

OVERVIEW:​

​

A file named imma.degenerate needs to be in the same folder as OBF.exe.​

​

• It does not need to contain anything.
• It must be the same folder as OBF.exe.
• The filename is imma and the extension is degenerate.

It doesn't matter what creates the file, it should work as long as the filename/extension is correct.​

METHOD 1:​

In the folder where OBF.exe is located, create a file called imma.degenerate (be sure to enable show file extensions if you're using Windows explorer). The file does not need to contain anything.​

​

METHOD 2:​

Command Prompt:​

In the folder where OBF.exe is located, type echo. > imma.degenerate and you'll be all set.​

​

Command Prompt (PowerShell) :​

In the folder where OBF.exe is located, type New-Item -Path . -Name "imma.degenerate" -ItemType "file" and you'll be all set.​

​

I'm not sure how long this will work and I think it would be best for all of us to not mention it on Patreon (or DH's Discord) especially.​

​

This works with the Steam version as well but if your Steam library is in Program Files, you'll need administrative rights to create the file on Windows 10. Please follow the Steam instructions below if you need help.​

​

STEAM: ​

For Steam, this gets a bit more complex because of the higher security present in Program Files.​

• Open a "Command Prompt" or "Command Prompt (Powershell)", you'll need to run either as Administrator. (NOTE: Windows Terminal generally won't let you start an Administrator session).
• Depending on your settings, you'll may get a elevation prompt. Accept it to continue.
• The following step assumes the default location for the game folder. If your Steam library is installed somewhere else you'll need to use the correct path: pushd "%SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Breeders of the Nephelym Alpha" (Powershell: cd "$Env:SystemDrive\Program Files (x86))\Steam\steamapps\common\Breeders of the Nephelym Alpha")
• Now you just need to create the file: echo. > imma.degenerate (Powershell: New-Item -Path . -Name "imma.degenerate" -ItemType "file")
• Close the command window/powershell: exit

​

The patcher will eventually return with support for this for a few reasons:​

• There's no telling how long this will work and we may be back to patching soon.
• If people use a patcher for something so simple it may help hide this from Patreon from that much longer.
• Some users may just find it it easier. Obviously if it's using the file method, it will not actually be doing any patching at all. Just creating (or removing) a file as directed.
• The patcher is, unfortunately, not my highest priority at the moment.

Doesn't work. I tried several times trying to make a "imma.degenerate" file. And it didn't work. Scratch that I managed to figure it out.

I tried and released like 20 with lvl 20 and nothing

I release them and it does increase their level. Not the whole world though, just that specific population. If you release a bunch of lvl 20 dragons then when you go back to find more dragons then you find rares and uncommons.

 

[Quazar87]

Hay quick question and I know me and someone else asked this before but does anyone have access to feral spirit forms. If so can you tell me how to change to it.

You have to get Nephelym of your gender first. So if you're male then you need to get male ones. They can be caught with the kind of milk that they like. Then talk to the multi-tailed fox lady lounging near the seraphim that trades your monsters for Favor.

 

[RubyZeronyka]

To be honest the whole mecanic of having to release captured/bred nephs to increase the world level is one of the dumbest, if not straight up annoying things to do. Like.... It makes sense in a way that you capture nephs to "ascend" them with the Emisary in exchange of Favor cause, lorewise I think, if they're on the wild they keep fucking forever and that way they're "saved" and thus the goddess grants you favor in return? Probably that logic needs some review but still has some rough sense.

But seriously. Capture a neph, then another, another, or bred some, to then release them again to increase the population level? I get that this game's nature is all about the grind, but even those parts that require grind feel like glued together with no reason at all between each other.

 

[oppaifiend]

How about for now we just ask that the game is less a piece of shit to get started and demolish some of the unnecessary grind first, yeah?

I only play this for fun on and off, so noob question... but what exactly is the issue with the game? I read a lot about grind and unfixable progression system etc but the only grind I can think of is breeding certain Nephs to unlock new areas. Like the hornball bee or a meaty wolf for the titty pony. Other than that you just walk around and collect keystones. If you really need money, sell cow milk.

This is not an argument btw, I just honestly didn't follow the community discussion around the mechanics. I did get stuck in one past version, however, I think it was getting the nympho perk on a dragon. Oh and the Breeder needs to run faster... using Nephs as a mount would fit the setting. Maybe riding a Titan.

You haven't dealt with save wipes yet did you? Cause if you did, youll get a glimpse on part of the problematic we tend to talk about.

Sure, the game can be fun with cheats but thats where the problem starts. The cheats are very 8-80 in the aspect of, the moment you use the money one for example, you end up with 4 times the maximum amount of money youll need to buy basically everything the game has to offer in terms of purchasables. Thing is.... If you dont cheats, then youre up to hours (real life hours) upon hours of ingame grind. Which would be kiiiiiinda okey (I mean survival sandboxes are like that in a way) if it werent by the fact that every 4-5 updates previous saves stop loading on new game versions, so you either hack your save files or start all over again.

Each update also happen to make something that was previously easily available to be locked behind some grind. Like the Pawsmatti sex position thingy for example. Did you knew there was a time in which you started the game with all sex positions available? Now you have to unlock them, one, by, one through favor. Which is a bit tedious to gather.

Or others that totally altered the game flow like, before if you happen to make about 4k money you could buy the demons pool, go straight to Moaning Crag and start to capture some demoms pretty much after say 15 minutes of gameplay or so. Now they're very lategame content only available after probably 15 IRL hours of play (if you do it without cheats). Thats a massive difference and things like that on every update keep getting more and more pronounced.

 

[Dei-mos]

maximum fun after updating the game saves arent working
new game is completly broken too

starting with 0 currency and nothing to sell the only way to get going is cheating ?

compared to 4-5 years earlier there are hardly inprovements
most new races are copy&paste from earlier models bee ok give it antennas and the stinger, sharks lokks similar - just glue a tail on

otherwise its mostly doors, stances and worldlevel forcing the grind
ok map got bigger but 80% of it is empty anyway and the waypoints/teleporters ...

This is pretty much spot on. I would add the one thing that made me finally leave his discord. Supporters, such as myself at the time, were basically ridiculed for wanting the cheats so that we did not have to re-grind hard after every save wipe. This is when he added the "imma lazy sack" cheat which opens the locked gates. The cheat was meant to shame those who used it, but these were, in part, the very same people who were paying him monthly. He wants us to alpha/beta test everything again after a save wipe and also pay him monthly. When we complained he basically called us lazy sacks of shit. I think I had already ended support at that time, but others were pretty offended and I think he lost some support after that, tho he likely gained the equivalent back again at some point.
I know now that he has mental issues, but at the time it seemed he was just being a major dick. Regardless, there have been improvements however slow the updates were released, so I am glad for it because this is a rare and enjoyable game. I also hope his mental health improves or at least does not get worse, not for the sake of the game, but for him personally.

Damn! I knew that moderation in that server was toxic but having suporters being bullied for wanting QoL features, while they're being the money foundation of the damn game.... Dats a new low for BotN .w.

Quite frankly and being brutally honest, I cannot give two fucks of his mental issues cause shit like that IS NOT an excuse for assholeness. I have been through literal hell in my life in different ways and yet I try to treat people I come across with respect and decently until they prove me by irritating me to the core that they dont deserve such treatment, and even then I avoid going to calling people names. Another thing that I cannot stand is his elitist souslike player mentality. I try, I really try, to not despise fans of games like Dark Souls such as Derelict but more often than not when I come across one they seem to have a personality profile similar to that individual. Mocking you for not being willing to endure the most punishing masochistic treatments that life can throw at them. And should I care that a person like that still not only seeks for more punishment but also wants the others to feel just as miserable? Hell the fuck no.

I cannot say that I was a money supporter but I did offered and worked for a while as a translator of Spanish, I didnt fully liked the whole Pawsmatti adition but at the time the game still didnt had pissed me off enough cause the progression gates werent fully added, but after that and how save wipes kept being a thing, along with the comunity being more toxic every day made me say "Fuck this, imma out". Specially cause besides both Fuzileiro (Portuguese translator), Ngacha (German) and even a partner I briefly had in the team of Spanish that barely stayed a pair of weeks we all kept asking Derelict a lot of times to split the lines page sheets into two being one masculine and one feminine cause a lot of lines in those heavy gendered languages like Portuguese or Spanish sound weird as hell if you apply the same gender neutrality that English is usually known for but he never did and we had to twist our minds to make the damn translations to sound like something a reasonable human being would say while speaking in Spanish lol

TBF I thought a bunch of times to leave this game behind and never look back at it again but after all this time I grew to love the world, my ingame creations and the possibilities of things like neph breeding but.... I would be lying if I said that I havent been heavily looking for something to replace it like for example heavily modded Skyrim. Still has its flaws in things like offspring generation but in every other area it beats BotN to dust.
