Ren'Py Completed Space Journey X [v2.20_022] [y.v.]

Is there a way to sell milk in bulk? I have a couple of hundred units to sell and one click per sale is annoying.

 

[sillyrobot]

Possible bug:

The auctioneer keeps selling me the Cargo Compressor Mk III rather than bot parts or other stuff. Maybe because I have one of the Underverse units installed and don't carry the unit in storage?

I recognize the squad combat is a new mechanic and (probably) still under construction. I looked in the walkthrough and didn't find the answer.

Where can one buy equipment for the squad? I checked Krogneath, but didn't see anything. I started with a single item of body armour and wanted to grab a couple more for my bots.

Drops =/

I've got the Galaxina prototype but I basicly can't do anything with it: if I open its crate with Nihme, she says that she can't do anything with it and says to crate it again...I take it to the Adminstration but I also can't hand it in...

Once opened, you can use it as a bot skin with very good buffs. To hand it into Administration, you need to repack via Nimhe it first.

I checked the code.
in each new game you need to actually buy the Mkiii cargo to advance to the mkiii engine etc
Bringing it from an older game is not checked.

Makes a bit of sense. Auctioneer progresses with his offers to you only after successful transactions...

There will be weapons crates in 2.30 and also the possibility to sell of gear.

Added to QoL list. I probably can add it today or tomorrow as I am in the middle of 2.30 integration.
Shift click sells batches of 10 makes sense imho

Very much so. And "Ctrl-click sells everything" makes sense too.

I thought I purchased it twice this game, but I'll double-check that I didn't eff up.

*edit* User error, nothing to see here.

Perhaps Nihme's Tech skill is too low?

Her Tech Skill is at 26

How high have to be Nihme's skills?

Is there any value to over-charging Launcher, Hyperdrive, Uplink, or Engine?

I discovered the Underverse ship components. Overcharging Weapon, Shields, and Cargo are no-brainers. Overcharging Mining Laser may be useful should I ever mine again.

What about the rest? Do they offer any enhancement from over-charging?

Launchers also gets more damage from overcharging as far as I know. But I rarely use it.
Hyperdrive does not gain any benefits, yet. Dev is considering some options.
Uplink overcharge is good for keeping bots from escaping, and needed for at least one achievement.
Engine does not gain anything from overcharge I think, but might be mistaken, as it could be related to movement in combat.

You need to overcharge your uplink to be able to send more than one infiltrator into combat. You need 100% for one infiltrator, 120% for two, 133% for three.

Something definitely seems broken with player tech skill progression. I played versions of the game prior to V2.00 and started completely fresh on V2.20.

I'm 86 Days in and doing the Krell Biolab quest line. My tech skill seems stuck at 12.

I perused the game code and figured out GAME.mc.getAttrFrac("TEC") to check the current fractional value. It's at 12.400000000000002 and remains there upon the start of the next day no matter what I do. Ship repair, build bots, etc. does not budge the number.

---Edit---

I read through the game code more and figured it out. The 4 tech skills stop giving you experience once you reach the level where you earned the next skill. I.e. Ship repairs only give you experience until you reach level 5, bot part repairs only give you experience until you reach level 10, upgrading bot parts only give you experience until level 15. So when you are between level 10-15, upgrading bot parts is the only way to gain new levels.

I personally don't think that's a great way to handle it. Very unclear as a player that you basically stop earning any tech experience for the prior actions. A reduced rate would probably be better than a hard limit.

PS for the curious, the points earned are as follows:

Ship repairs: 0.3
Bot part repairs: 0.1
Bot part upgrades: 0.4
Bot QC: 0.5

But again you only earn these points when you are within their particular skill level range.

There's no separate XP tracker, the level counter itself is the tracker, it has a hidden fractional value. I.e. if you're at level 1 and do three ship repairs the value is internally 1.9. Game truncates the decimal and treats that as your level. So once the value exceeds 2, you'll be level 2.

Look at the quest description. You do have that infiltrator shell, don't you?

Thanks for the feedback as to playability.

• I was initially undecided on how to handle this. I did not want diminishing returns as that would force some players to grind forever and lose interest in the game, being unaware, there is another skill
• I added the tech skill list for look up to the stats menu of the main character if you hover over the skill, but that probably was a bit too obtuse.
• In version 2.3 I have now added once per day the comment: "this activity doesn't really advance my skills anymore" to point out to the player that he/she needs to advance to another activity.

I have by the way in 2.30 also completely re-factored the skill, attribute storage and management code to consist of fractional skill values "under the hood". There is an actor event trigger if the next full int level is reached. This should eliminate further root causes for issues like not triggering level increases.

Sorry for the crappy punctuation and grammar in above text as Apple voice to text is still as bad as ever. Good thing I have an expensive Apple computer to confirm that

Android port of this game

I created an unofficial compressed version for Android on request of ItsJustBK.
Disclaimer:The APK is compressed, so the quality might not be as good as the PC version. The UI is most likely optimized for the PC version, so it might be tedious to play on Android.

TL;DR: If you encounter any issues with the Android port it's my fault not yv0751's, so please don't bother him about issues you encounter in the Android version.

Updated my unofficial compressed version for Android to version 2.20_022 for those unwilling to use Joiplay. Swipe up / down to temporarily hide / show menus.

Same disclaimer as last time: The APK is compressed, so the quality might not be as good as the PC version, and if you encounter any issues with the Android port it's my fault not yv0751's, so please don't bother him about issues you encounter in the Android version.
