Guys this may be a dumb question but I am befuddled. is there any way to make your NPC companions swap to melee in combat? I can do it easily enough on my MC but I see no way for the others.
It would be nice to not have to manually unequip all their guns when I'm doing a bandit capture run.

During fight choosing "STRIKE ENEMY" under ""MAIN OPTIONS" seems to work in my game - in case the companions have melee weapons they can use.

Fire At Enemy - uses ranged weapon
Strike Enemy - uses melee weapon, shows up as an option when NPCs are at close range
Glove icon - powerstrike button

I'm pretty sure the last version's changelog said they'd fixed that bug, but it still keeps happening to me too.
"Wicked, wicked Zoot [Grimdark]… she [Grimdark] is a bad person and she [Grimdark] must pay the penalty. And here in Castle Anthrax [F95Zone], we have but one punishment…" :oops:

Just found out 1 thing, on this playthrough I'm doing(born from the ashes/grim/dying world. I went to the church and it was destroyed so I said brb got my Yakuza team and killed everyone in that map and suddenly the church appeared, someone was having an issue with it and they didn't know so they tried sugarcube code, it worked but no need for that just kill the enemy in that map.

That's different. Their church is at state = -1 and there are no bandits nearby. It is permanently disabled because the Church power went to zero or lower. There is a known issue now with the Church. This patch introduced the Abbey and the Abbey triggers this event which probably has no safeguards or minimum limit imposed to the Catholic Church so their power gets reduced to 0:

Yeah maybe Grim will tweak that in a future update. In the meantime, I think you can still prevent the church from being wiped out if their power starts getting low by just converting to Christianity and donate enough to boost their power back up to a reasonable level. Might mean you get forced to switch with less than ideal timing but still...

This is like going back to school, every day I learn something new. Ah but I remember the church in the other post was destroyed, like when I took out the mafia the building was gone, my guess the bandits destroyed or loot it, well going to be harder for them got it to 405 power

That's the point, this game presents constant challenges!

I've been starting over and over again for over a year! I always get to day 150 and go back looking for the perfect combination for my goals.
And since I'm stupid, my trap is the persistent F5 :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Doesn't need to be quite THAT different. Fx. in my current game the catholic church is still going strong despite the Abbey's scandal and following (minor) drop in power.
(My MC has been a long time supporter of catholic church despite being a full pagan and disbeliever, dropped every now and then some incense burners, donated several millions of money and other stuff during the years. Result has been that the Catholic Church still supports my house with nice 600.000 RD every single day - and I can still pay nice visits to father Marinelli and his cute teen age nuns.)

You're the beneficiary of an age-old Catholic tradition known as indulgences.

What is currently the best way to raise manipulate? I think that the wiki and a lot of the answers on here are out of date, so I'm wondering if anyone has a current version "best way" to do it.

There's 3 ways I know of besides books. Explain Chores, Explain Sex Duties, and request sex. The first 2 have about a 10% chance if I'm not mistaken. Request sex is lower I think. I think the first 2 cap at 90 and request sex caps at 100. The first 2 can be a bit of a pain since high willpower reduces your chance, low willpower helps your chance, but too low willpower reduces your chance all the way to zero. The same is true of affection except in reverse. So you basically want to target low to mid range willpower and mid to high affection, but not too low and not too high. I target girls with about 30-50 willpower and amiable or loving affection. For request sex you don't have to worry about any of that, just request sex a LOT and eventually you'll gain some manipulate from it.
