You can also make a slave with high Science your Quartermistress and she'll repair your armor for free.

I think regenerating one soak point per day is not solving this problem. It is very common to lose more than 3 soak points in one battle.

 

[Gunner Rey]

What I'm trying to say is that repairing that armor often forces you to click a lot, overly repetitively. If there was a separate repair button after battle so that repairs could be done with one click, it wouldn't be a problem at all. But for repairs, move the map and enter the house, click facilities, click crafting, click start crafting, click my armor, and finally click repair. And as you mentioned earlier some lucky punk fires his pipegun through my armor and takes two off, I have to repeat this action again. This isn't funny. It would be very annoying if this game required you to go to the hospital to use injections to restore health. This is also the same.

Some have speculated that Grimdark gets paid per click by the secret cabal of mouse manufacturers; others intimate that he must somehow get a tiny pulse of energy for every click and we're all just hamsters on a wheel fueling his bid for global domination. I can't speak to those possibilities, but I'm kinda used to games where you have to click incessantly as they're complex games and often each click is a decision you must make. Sometimes through a plethora of tacked-on menus, the result of an interface forced to accommodate dozens of DLCs that were never envisioned when the basic game was devised (that would be you EUIV).

One thing though, you don't have to repair your armor each and every time. I often let it go unless I'm going up against a tier-6 bounty or something akin, otherwise I see if eventually my Quartermistress can catch up. If you want to ensure maximum readiness at all times, shouldn't you do a little work to achieve that? If you'd rather not, slack off a little and see what you can get away with, that adds a little spice to the game too. Some days the best part of the days battles is that my armor didn't even get nicked!

I would like to see it go to two eventually, perhaps at a higher science value or somesuch.

One soak point per day is a bit grim, Mr. Dark!

I always make a good combat crew, but not always ASAP by choosing all combat boosts and training the house down from day 1.
In 2 games I've started on Grimdark mode since the Terror was realeased, it spawned within 10 days then within 30 days. I really didnt have a chance to take it on properly before it was gone. Would be nice if it was a reoccuring spawn, or later in the game as khumak said.

Liking some of the new mechanics though, was funny to see Prosperity at a negative value and the effects of that. The extra food will be awesome for when the housing revamp occurs.

Variety in daily routine can be good for saving money/time btw. I tend to spend a few days after tough combat recovering, letting HP passively rise (and taking baths with slaves to raise HP). Theres always education/training or something else that can be done, unless youre in very late game. Didnt buy 1 tendstim yet in my latest GD run, just used those I got from other sources.
Also having a quartermistress with science trained up to 80+ for repairing armour is handy, I never had to do it myself.

The workaround I use for that is to just keep a suit of combat armor, weave, and duraplate for my main. If my duraplate starts getting excessively beat up I will just spread the damage around a bit to the combat armor and weave until my quartermistress gets caught up on the duraplate. Hulk armor is the real issue since she can't repair that. You can repair it yourself with hulk parts but those are limited drops so eventually you will have to buy the parts.

 

[bolondro2]

Do you play on Grimdark? In that case I think the chance of Space Marine action on the matter is closer to 1%.

Nope. There are more than enough grind in Normal Mode for my tastes, thank you...

There must be some hidden modifiers. It would be really nice if some knowledge person would update the wiki with how to optimize each Issid.

It would be a lot better if instead of the wiki, the game itself would give you some insight when you talk with your Issids. That Mr Doyle tell´s you when you try to train him something in the line of "Old Dogs don´t learn new tricks", or Loren telling you " expending time reading it´s for pussies", and Aiko showing some encouraging line, or you find she around Armand...

That's a good idea, there's dialogue that comes up when you click on them sometimes, but I don't know if it's random or meaningful. Once I clicked on Dexter and he complained that Guard work was boring, so I sent him to school instead and later made him an accountant. That was a real good deal for a time, but I guessed it got nerfed some recently.

Some have speculated that Grimdark gets paid per click...

What is this "click" thing? The game design favors a Redmond operating system with a browser that uses the Blink and V8 engines. It is meant to be "hands free", unlike those mainstream "one-handed" games. Just say "Cortana, deliver 250 knives to Fort Hamilton" and avoid any repetitive strain injury caused by over-mousing.

 

[Cpt_Jerkoff]

The investments eventually kind of snowball and that's where the real money is. This is what I'm making passively now on day 268. I focused more heavily than most people probably do on combat. Tier 7 bounties in particular are pretty lucrative but they're tough until you get your mercs geared/skilled up.

Guard power rises with melee skill right? or something else?
And what the scavenging skill of the Issids is used for?

 

[Kavalor]

scavannging is when thy search the city fro useful things - a.k.a Merchandise during the day.

 

[lurkathon]

bolondro2 and khumak... nice work compiling those stats, cheers
I wonder if you noticed any difference to the rate of tendstims and circuit boards gathered by Laika and Loden on Scav duty, when their INT/Education is raised.
If so I will be all over that in future
Edit: btw in the description of Laika and Lodens' Good Scavenger trait, it says stimpack instead of tendstim

more scavenging (survival) points in the team affects on the chances or the quantity of the founded useful things?

Laika and Loden significantly increase their capabilities with an intelligence of 60

Raising the INT and EDU of your Issids

Rifle Savant:CAVEAT: You start at INT 20 and get a -20 to your INT checks, at the start, and it gets worse as his INT rises up to a -50, so can be a really long run

At INT 20: Scavenging +6, Janitor +5, Captain 3, Guard -2, Accountant -15
At INT 60: Scavenging +10, Janitor+5, Captain 3, Guard -2, Accountant -13

 

[Lurker452]

Laika and Loden significantly increase their capabilities with an intelligence of 60

Double their scavenging haul, in fact.
