Having the weakness section have it's first line be "resistance" seems more troublesome for me...

weary sonnet
#

This is the one causing the more CSS issue for us atm, will report it to cyrob, ty for the info.

#

The first line is weakpoint, but that one doesn’t have any.

#

Do you have a better name for the weakness tab? I can rename that one if that helps.

#

Current content is weakpoint, resistance, armor, model view.
Basically knowledge about where to hit.

While I would get it, I doubt any non modder would understand.

I can confirm, it affects me as well, using firefox

bold plover
#

Yerp.

#

This look right though? Trying to update a mod widget so I don't want it to be incorrect.

shell frigate
#

The sub sections could be made neater but it's good as is I say

bold plover
#

I can update it between mod updates, I just know this is a significant one.

#

I am curious about this, does this upgrade incrasing the beam width right now?

trail gust
#

it's x3 120 -> 360

ionic kiln
#

Convex Lens Upgrade for now its only increasing the damage or the microwave gun

Concave*

ionic kiln

Well there's a actually misspelled word.

#

I updated the HE grenade page to include information about the new max damage radius, the fuse timer, and a brief explanation of what "cooking" means.

#

I also added a Custom7 option in the equipment info box template. It was necessary for adding the fuse time, but I figure in case anyone finds need for extra rows on another page there's a new option there for you.

glacial topaz
#

Uhm... Evan
you edited the wrong page :p

acoustic scarab
#

Would you kindly write the current build version of the live update?

glacial topaz
floral drift
acoustic scarab
#

I wasn't joking though, I want to catch all the version history, and GSG have been known to do day 1 patches

silent sierra
#

Okay. I updated the correct page this time. Let me know if I missed anything.

acoustic scarab

#

Can’t wait for you folks to update the weapon pages! I rely on them a lot of weapon building. You guys and gals rock!

dusty fractal

Doesn’t really work on my phone, but that’s good to know!

acoustic scarab
#

I asked anyone currently in the game to hit the Esc menu and write the current version, 1.37.78298.0. I was at work at that moment

silent sierra
#

I see. That makes sense then.

glacial topaz
#

Updated GK2 base and mod changes, also combined the speed and accuracy descriptions on the unique sections
missing the costs
so anyone feel free to see what was missed (icons used, costs, etc)

Congrats on the new wiki link

prime grove
#

hey pals, that new wiki.gg is looking great, eons ahead of what that adware bloated gamepedia junk allowed us to do, WONDERFUL work you guys

#

still, I'm getting performance issues on higher resolutions

#

just reducing the window size seems to fix it, otherwise even scrolling becomes a burden

#

tested on both Chrome and Firefox

shell frigate
#

Glad for the positive feedback, we still got a few bits to fix for sure, let us know anything you notice

silent sierra
#

Also I'd like to have the accuracy mods link to MeatShield's accuracy page.

glacial topaz
#

you are the one that checked Gk2 mercy bullets effects, right ? we will have to update the list

silent sierra
#

Yeah, I was the one who put that list together before. I can update that as well.

glacial topaz
#

you stil have the old list of effects (internal I mean, not wiki list) ? so we can see what got added to the list (the patch notes gives a good hint too)

shell frigate
#

Made Creature Breadcrumb show most groups

weary sonnet
#

Btw do you think I should hint somewhere that there is /Data page with the raw data of creatures?
I know some players like to be able to see them, modders in particular.
Are they protected yet?
If not I will do it.

shell frigate
#

Was working a moment ago, I think me changing breadcrumb data purged a cache

weary sonnet
#

fixed

#

Forgot to rename the variant parameter to tags in this page, so the purge broke it

#

well only took a few second to fix

shell frigate
silent sierra
#

I have the current list in the files as well, so I was just going to format the JSON into something easier to work with.

weary sonnet
#

Hum, not protected yet, I will change them to autopatrol as we agreed. So most regular editors can fix them if needed.

glacial topaz

updated the gk2 ocs btw

#

M1000 done, but will need confirmation if the WP bonus is really x2 damage, it doesn't appear on the terminal lol

floral drift
#

Triples 0% to 0%, or 20% to 60% if T4.B

glacial topaz
#

wonder if that will be confusing

floral drift
#

It already is 😆

glacial topaz
#

and here thinking it was a +200% damage increase, ontop of the focus bonus
sad

floral drift
#

Lol that would be SO busted

austere fossil
#

It might be better to just say it triples the effect of T4.B

#

Triples the effect of the T4.B Hollow-Point Bullets Modification
Is the long version, not sure how to best shorten it for the table

floral drift
#

Triples the weakpoint bonus granted by the T4.B modification

signal meadow
#

Heya, any big advantages of the new wiki?

austere fossil
#

Yeah, not sure it can be shortened without significantly compromising accuracy or clarity.

glacial topaz
signal meadow
#

Users I guess, you guys will do fine regardless i think 😅

proud cargo
#

The layout isn't as fucked, for one.

acoustic scarab
#

It should be functional on mobile

glacial topaz
#

way more customization allowed
more freedom

signal meadow
#

Nice

acoustic scarab
#

A left-side menu that isn't forcibly replaced by site-wide panels promoting other wikis

weary sonnet
#

Less adds, more space to display the page (width).
Way more possibilities for us to support mobiles (feel free to report anything that doesn’t display wall).

glacial topaz
#

and it wasn't fine for us lol
it was ""usable"", but never really fine

acoustic scarab
#

You asked for user-side, but editor-side - we can actually see what our edited page will look like before committing the change

weary sonnet
#

Starting to use cargo so it will be easier to keep stuff up to date globally (for now it is for creature, but it should be expanded to weapons and equipment later).
Before each page needed to be updated separately.

proud cargo
weary sonnet
#

No, most preview were broken, especially with templates.

#

I hated it for that, working on a template was VERY time consuming.

proud cargo
#

I underestimated how much the F-word sucks.

glacial topaz
#

even more considering we came from gamepedia

proud cargo
#

The fact they FUBARed Gamepedia is one of the main reasons I hate them so much.

acoustic scarab
#

Even if you don't work with templates - the preview window showed a different page width and a different font size from the live version. If your change had anything to do with wide tables or fine-tuning font sizes, you couldn't know what the end result would look like before saving the edit and going by trial and error

silent sierra
#

Not sure when this was changed, but it looks like the Wave Cooker's Neurotoxin now share's its STE file with the Bulldog. I'm pretty sure it used to have its own copy somewhere within its STE folder back at the start of Season 2. I don't have the full season 2 history, but it seems like it no longer had its own copy by Season 2 patch 6, so it must have changed relatively early on in the season.

weary sonnet
acoustic scarab

If you have some form of blame or timeline

#

I can check if you tell me where it is in the file

signal meadow
#

Looks like a big net positive then, nice. Sorry for disrupting lol drillchamp

silent sierra
weary sonnet
#

Oh, I don’t need to go back to check

#

I can have a dynamic comparison per file and a comment for each line telling me when it was changed.

acoustic scarab
#

They can't be happy we're diverting traffic off the site. But hey, if they wanted editors to stay, maybe they shouldn't have made the website experience worse ¯_(ツ)_/¯

silent sierra
#

I only noticed because Bullets of Mercy has the Neurotoxin STE files listed in it, but didn't have the cooker's copy.

autumn flare
#

Admittedly it’s been a while before I last made a major edit to the Deep Rock wiki to double check this but @acoustic scarab what do you mean by now the edited page can be previewed? I thought that was already a thing on the Deep Rock wiki, I know it is for other Fandom wiki sites

acoustic scarab
#

It's not confined to the DRG wiki. In the current Fandom editor what you see in the preview is not exactly what you get after saving the edit.

autumn flare
#

Oh yeah you did send that just now, sorry for ping

#

I always find the preview to be more or less fine but yeah with tables they generally needed fine tuning

austere fossil
#

Speaking of old wiki sites, the oldest pinned message in here is the gamepedia link which should probably be unpinned now that it's not the Official wiki.

proud cargo
#

Indeed

autumn flare
#

The old wiki links in the other pinned messages too should be edited

austere fossil
#

You fool, they already are!

austere fossil
floral drift
#

however, it's a well-known fact that GSG has "special event chance" cranked super high on XP builds so that might not mean anything 🤷‍♂️

glacial topaz
#

oh, so you already tried searching for it too
isn't that like rival presence on sabotage ? lol

austere fossil
#

Yeah, I had assumed as much after only doing like 8 missions in the exp, all Lithophage Outbreak, but hadn't read anywhere that it was definitely a thing.

whole stirrup
#

so what'll happen to the old wiki

acoustic scarab
#

It's the older unloved child now

floral drift
#

a true middle child

whole stirrup
#

ngl, the transparent background on the new wiki kinda makes text hard to read

glacial topaz
#

maybe it is some client side configuration ?

weary sonnet
#

The background was transparent as well on fandom, but maybe not that much, we can run a few test to improve that maybe.

shell frigate
#

The old background was just washed out with green instead

autumn flare
#

I like/liked that green background, quite calm

shell frigate
#

Once styling the wiki to match the in-game look (it's all highlighted with DRG orange now) the green background really did not fit

whole stirrup
#

issue is that the background art is too bright, overpowers the white text a bit

mental mist
whole stirrup
#

is it? huh

weary sonnet
#

Wait no wonder you find it hard to read, that’s not how it is supposed to look, it should be blurred and darker.

mental mist
#

No idea why it isn't blurred for you

weary sonnet
#

What browser are you using, looks like some of the css doesn’t apply for you.

whole stirrup
#

firefox

shell frigate
#

What version?

whole stirrup
#

Ok that fixed it, I was on an older version

weary sonnet
#

Nice, is it readable now or does it still need some work?

whole stirrup
#

definitely better with the blurring lol

warm sage
#

Fandom wiki is the top result when you search "Deep rock galactic wiki" though. Any way around that?

floral drift
#

send them a strongly worded Cease and Desist letter 😆

shell frigate
#

Well new one did just come out, fandom has a few years head start, will take a while to beat them

warm sage
#

Here's the costs of the new mods not on the wiki yet btw. New Battle Frenzy's is identical.

dense vapor
#

charged shot puddle can be ignited with just one regular EPC shot (hot plasma)
was this always the case? regular puddles still need two shots to ignite and wiki only mentions normal puddle needing 20 heat to ignite which is two EPC shots

acoustic scarab
floral drift
dense vapor
#

I'm talking about regular shots, and like I said regular puddles take two shots while charged puddle only one

#

uncharged regular shots

craggy wraith
#

Ah there's the wiki.gg announcement, was waiting for it lol

worldly salmon
#

oh thats very confusing phrasing

worldly salmon
#

just, to clarify because a lot of "charged" and "regular" shots are being thrown around

#

thats strange if so... i wonder if an exception was coded or something

dense vapor
#

charged shot puddle > 1 EPC shot to ignite it
regular shot puddle > 2 EPC shots to ignite it

worldly salmon
#

very interesting. id like to test that myself, quite strange

glacial topaz
#

btw, weapons left to work on: zhukov, EPC and collete
since I think evan did HE grenade already iirc

silent sierra
#

EPC will be one of the more complicated ones because of some shenanigans with Burning Nightmare's damage conversion.

worldly salmon
silent sierra
#

I'm setting up a test environment for that right now actually.

glacial topaz
#

not like the previous version wan't confusing too

silent sierra
#

Well, it's more to do with some stuff that MeatShield found. Pretty much every gun that deals multiple damage types at once starts doing weird stuff whenever a mod or overclock converts the damage into something else. Kind of like what's going on with Hellfire doing 140% damage.

silent sierra
#

I'm not sure why, but the normal shots with Burning Nightmare are getting a free 5 Heat damage from somewhere. They used to apply 25% of the pellet damage as heat along with an additional 5 flat bonus heat. Now it's applying 25% of the pellet damage as heat along with an additional 10 flat bonus heat. I can't find the extra 5 heat anywhere in the files, so I think it might just be applying the flat bonus twice for some reason.

glacial topaz
#

did changes to zhukovs and EPC too
ofc, it is still missing the details / correct names
but I did it to make things easier so we can have a base

glacial topaz
#

👀 we don't have any values for the new grenades now that I notice

silent sierra
# worldly salmon thoughts on chargeshot puddles taking less heat to ignite than normal shot puddl...

Okay I figured it out, but it doesn't make much sense why this is happening. Basically the charge shot and charged shot pellets leave different puddles behind that have an ignite temperature of 15. The normal shots leave puddles that have an ignite temperature of 20.
I finally managed to get a setup going that allowed me to hook the temperature values of the puddles and the normal shot puddles needed exactly 20 heat to ignite while the charged shot puddles only needed 15. On the flip side this also means that they changed whatever was causing the EPC to deal less heat damage to the puddles.

worldly salmon
#

Charge shot puddles just don’t have as much temp requirement

silent sierra
#

Seems like the Hurricane is still applying half heat to the puddles for whatever reason. I'm not sure why.

worldly salmon
#

Half the heat it should?

glacial topaz
silent sierra
#

That's why it used to take 3 shots to ignite puddles in Season 1 and 2.

#

Er. EPC was applying only half of the converted heat damage I mean.

#

The static 5 heat was applying as normal.

worldly salmon
#

Maybe something to do with it previously being coded to add heat but being later changed to convert damage to heat?

#

Might be some weird shenanigans there

silent sierra
#

Well that's the thing. The normal shot heat application should be exactly the same according to the way the files look. The same conversions are happening on the normal shots, and the same static heat file with the same value is being applied. It just does more heat damage.

autumn flare
#

Do you all expect the season 3 space rig decorations to stay past the next season update or not? I am making note of the new design on the space rig page

glacial topaz
#

out of all worries to have, pretty sure you have a ton of time for any screenshots you need before next season

#

noticed this on equipment infobox btw,
given the nature of it, just increasing the cell width should be fine ?

autumn flare
#

On the infobox template page yeah that should do it

#

No options for it on pages with the infobox

#

Plenty of time for screenshots yeah, for textual content I'll just put down "as part of Season 3"

silent sierra
#

I'm going to start adding information regarding weapons that are bugged in ways that cause them to do more than 100% of their listed damage values. The bug that causes this has been known for almost a year and half, and the number of weapons with this bug has only gone up since it was first reported way back when with Hyper Propellant. I think it's safe to say this is just a feature at this point.

glacial topaz
#

would rather be sure about it

floral drift
#

stealth doing more than 100% of listed damage is hella unintuitive

silent sierra
#

I mean sure, but it's pretty hard to list things like the damage distribution of the EPC without bringing up the fact that it's doing 105% damage in total.

floral drift
#

yeah, for sure document it. i just don't to be passe about it being a feature instead of a bug

silent sierra
#

Oh yeah. I'm not saying that it's intended. I plan on calling it out as a bug, but still having the damage distributions laid out for people to see.

#

I meant "feature" as in the whole "not a bug, it's a feature" joke that get's thrown around in tech sometimes.

floral drift
#

ahhh. yep, i definitely misunderstood. thanks for clarifying 🙂

#

my b

silent sierra
#

Still. I do think that the conversion jank isn't going to get fixed anytime soon. The bug looks as though it might be baked into something fundamental. I can see the devs finding ways of working around it so that it's symptoms don't keep showing up, but I doubt a refactor that fixes it will happen within the game's lifespan.

floral drift
#

🤔 without seeing inside the engine and game code of how that works, it'd be hard to say whether or not it's unfixable.

#

getting beyond wiki content with this convo, though. i vote we continue back in DCT

dreamy berry
#

the search bar autofill has a white background which clashes with the rest of the wiki's theme. is there a way to invert the colors?

#

i really like the hover tooltips on the left rail. i know it's kinda small but the way it expands and changes color on hover is super dope 😮

Thank you for moving the wiki to .gg

autumn flare
#

Definitely better not to have ads and all

#

Though I have to say so far I’m still used to the linking system used on Fandom

acoustic scarab
#

Is it different on gg?

dreamy berry
#

the internal linking system still looks the same

acoustic scarab
#

The people wish to know

#

(this is important PR work, since evidently people need to be sold on the new wiki)

analog rock
#

The answers so far are pretty accurate...

acoustic scarab

I aspire to accuracy 😉

#

Could we maybe get a transcript of the Plaguefall Part I & II Assignment Dialogues you get when you complete a step. (and where should they be added?)

acoustic scarab
#

They should be on Crowdin already

#

Does evan needs help with mercy bullete testing ?
Thinking it might be better to
Group some effects together, to make it shorter whenever possible

dense vapor
dense vapor
#

and with 40 damage EPC you can ignite regular puddles with one shot too

silent sierra
#

Yeah, 40 damage EPC ignites all puddles in one shot.

weary sonnet
#

Hum, english question, what should be the tag for creature spawned by another creature?
Like glyphid spawn, deeptora swarm…
Spawn(s), Spawned, Adds, Something else?
Single word if possible

glacial topaz
#

Summon ? Offspring ?

weary sonnet
#

That works as well, knowing that the tag will be on the offspring without specifying the "mother", just to say it can’t exist alone.

worldly salmon
#

it would be kinda weird to call the deeptora swarms “offspring”

#

this would also mean omen’s homing bombs would be considered offspring

#

i think summon works

weary sonnet
#

Summon would work in all cases, that should do it indeed.

#

Thanks for the help you two.

glacial topaz
#

Always
You guys giving out wiki links on drg chat ?

weary sonnet
#

Adding protection under autopatrol level for /Data pages and adding a few tags for sorting.

#

Barely using that chat theses days myself.

#

Hum, there is a few instances were I protected the creature page instead of the /Data page.
I should have reverted all of them, but if for some reason you can’t edit the base creature page, it is probably my fault and I (or another admin) need to fix it.

glacial topaz
#

So many things now I get lost to know what to edit when I want to improve a template lol

weary sonnet
#

Welcome to the club lol.

glacial topaz
#

Making a list of links seems the way to go, and having it somewhere handy

weary sonnet
#

If it is templates that need to be improved, you can also give them a category with that meaning.

glacial topaz
#

Was able to open web spitter page to edit, but didnt publish anything

glacial topaz
weary sonnet
#

That’s a lot of work, especially with how little active editors we have.

#

But satisfying once you are done, that’s for sure.

alpine hamlet

So, this isn't the case anymore, no? 😛

#

And is there a reason the wiki is not in #welcome-and-rules ? I feel it belongs there ❤️

weary sonnet
#

@shell frigate all breakcrumbs are broken for individual rival enemy pages.
Not sure where the breadcrumbs data is stored so I can’t fix it.

shell frigate

I prepared for this

weary sonnet

And I still missed it, my bad.

shell frigate
#

It's likey due to deurl protection on it, so me setting up the rival stuff wrong in the first place

#

I need to ask past self that too

#

Damn, almost 3 years to the day

umbral glacier
#

oh true, hadnt seen the date

weary sonnet

The trick was to use a wide screen setting iirc (no matter the real size of your screen) to move most of the UI away.

"Here our community wikieditors can collaborate about what is going into our gamepedia site"
Lol

shell frigate
#

Should we increase the PI Width?

weary sonnet
#

Reordered a bit the creature page based on feedback, keeping only the base creature, still need to assign them some id to be able to sort inside the species since no data gathered so far (afaik) allow for a satisfying sort order.

#

Hum can we afford to do it for mobiles? If yes I would say to do it.

shell frigate
#

Would likey be better for mobiles

#

270px -> 350px, caping at 100% screen width

weary sonnet
#

This is what the creature order would look like if we base it on the Miner’s Manual, let me know what you think.
On my side, I think we can use it as a base but it would be better to make some adjustments.

glacial topaz
#

lol,
it is fun that there are multiple ways to group stuff
using spawn rules, using miner's manual, using custom ones

weary sonnet
#

Yeah, well the thing I know is the intuitive way for me to group things is linked to the game’s files so it tends to loose everyone else so that rule this out.

shell frigate
#

Seems good to me

glacial topaz
#

so sad, many creatures got demoted

weary sonnet
#

Some of the stuff that doesn’t seem logical to me: Acid Spitter > Web Spitter > Menace
I would rather go for Web > Acid > Menace
For the dread order, I would go OG > Twins > Hiveguard
I don’t really understand the Rival order, the boss is just after the Shredder, I was expecting the Caretaker after the nemesis.

#

Oh if you mean the prefix, I skipped it to gain some time typing it, that’s all.

glacial topaz
#

Glyphids order ?
-Swarmer
-Grunt, Slasher, Guard
-Web, Acid
-exploder
-Praetorian, Opressor
-Menace, Warden
-Bulk
-OG dread, Arbalest, Lacerator, Hiveguard, Sentinel
-Brood, Spawn

Yeah, "decontamination spray" is what I'd call those

The goal of theses is to destroy any lithophage germs germs we could bring back from our missions.

So disinfectant, sanitezer… not sure what the best word is.

Disinfectant works

Mactera:
Spawn , Brundle, Tri-jaw, Bomber, Grabber

Rival:
Shredder, Barrier, Burst, Sniper, Patrol, Prospector, Nemesis, Caretaker, Appendage

weary sonnet
#

I would put the patrol and shredder together for rival as they ofter comes in pair in the game.

#

Be it via event or summon.

glacial topaz
#

so switch the patrol with the 3 turrets to the left

weary sonnet
#

ok

glacial topaz
#

btw, confusion on scrips...
this does not add to 91 lol

weary sonnet
#

Updated list, note that one the same line or on another line after a coma or on the next line means pretty much the same thing: the id will be greater.

I'm assuming it's 13 Lithophage Outbreak Challenges instead of 8

hmmm "SeasonChallenge_PlagueWarning"
""MaxOccurences": 10"

Hello @merry chasm , would it be possible to grant the wiki-editor role to @dry citrus ? He's the admin for the new wiki.

austere fossil
#

yeah, got 63 twice when I counted (tapping = on a calculator)

#

(I actually got 64 before those just tallying in my head)

acoustic scarab
#

Yup, my bad

glacial topaz
#

wait, does it really end at 100 ?

acoustic scarab
#

No, there's an infinity sign there that I cut out for space

#

I'm assuming the phrase "the first 8 Lithophage Outbreak challenges" on the page is a hold-over from the previous season?

#

We don't know for certain it's 8, right?

acoustic scarab
#

Also, "Completing the encounter reward 3 to 4 hearts to be collected per meteorite cracked for a total value of 900/1200 Performance Points. "
Johan mentioned last week it gives 4 to 6 hearts. Was he off or does the wiki have old info?

glacial topaz
#

simply random reward or is there some logic to it

acoustic scarab
#

No I mean the ranges don't match. I trust that it's random

floral drift
#

On first XP build I got 5 hearts a few meteors. There was a later patch note saying it got lowered. Maybe Tuesday’s patch? So, 3-4 might be accurate for live build…

acoustic scarab
#

Do keep an eye out if you ever get 3 or 6

glacial topaz
#

wonder if "SporeTowerPlagueGainRange" has anything to do with it, though the range is 90-110

worldly salmon
#

I take it 3-4 is the new average

worldly salmon
floral drift
worldly salmon
#

The ultimate result appears to be that there seems to be consistently less now than the average in early exp

#

Johan said it was 4-6 probably because it was still 4-6

#

Also can anyone clarify if the plague hearts give performance points?

#

Someone said they did but I haven’t gotten a meteor yet to see

silent sierra
#

@glacial topaz Good news! The list of status effects that don't work with Bullets of Mercy is now so much shorter we can basically omit the whole list in favor of just jotting down Corrosion, Exploder Radiation, and Sticky Goo (like from Bogs and Bombers) as things that don't work with Bullets of Mercy. Virtually everything else in the game that I can test seems to work.

#

Even Pheromone grenades work with it.

worldly salmon
#

Basically every dwarf inflicted status effect besides corrosion direct applies, I think, yeah

glacial topaz
#

Awesome to hear
and rip, so some effects still don't work with it ? iirc they used the wiki list as a guide to what to fix lol
also, wonder if using the status symbols could be a nice addition, and listing it as text, instead of list, since there is much less needed now

silent sierra
#

The list clearly includes the corrosive status effect in the files, but it's not working for whatever reason. I think the radiation and goo may have just been oversights.

#

So basically it seems that BoM is intended to work with virtually anything a Dwarven ally is able to apply to enemies.

glacial topaz
#

probably good to report then
the corrosion one at the very least

# acoustic scarab Do keep an eye out if you ever get 3 or 6

It should be 3-4 in the current patch 1 build. It was originally 3-8, then changed to 4-6, then finally 3-4 when the second meteor chances got upped, with the addition of the 50% chance of event if in an infected biome.
If you get anything outside of 3-4, feel free to ping me/submit a bug report.

Oh, so if there's Lithophage Outbreak Missions in Salt Pits and you go on a mission there without Lithophage Outbreak, there's a 50/50 you get a meteor?

bold plover
#

Yeah, from what I recall meteors can't happen on the missions with the lithophage warning. However the ones without the mission warning that are in the red zone have +30% higher chance (base of 20%) to get a meteor (50% total) iirc.

glacial topaz

so technically there is 3 groups ? Outside zone, inside zone and Warning

20, 50, 0, respectively

glacial topaz
#

wonder if the whole Burny Hyper PGL issue has to do with "Overclock calculations happen after modifiers."
though that would mean clean sweep and compact rounds would be affected too

silent sierra
#

It's hard to say for sure exactly why it happens. MeatShield came up with a pretty good theory for it that matches everything that's been tested since u34.
The gist of it is that when the weapon is converting damage types then it starts to run into issues when it converts over 100% of its damage in total.

#

It doesn't really seem to matter what order things happen in either. I'm pretty sure that so long as the weapon has its damage converted by over 100% in total across several sources of conversion then it will yield more than 100% damage.

glacial topaz
#

well, by modifying values I guess you can make it be less or more than 100%

glacial topaz
#

on one hand, I can see it being used as a way to buff stuff, and allow more build variation
but... I would also think they would have said something , or not

i'm like 90% sure that GSG isn't currently aware of this behavior. they probably intended the baseline conversion (for things like 50/50 splits) to be done first, then apply the second conversion to each part afterwards.

my guess for the intended BC Inferno conversion:

50% Electric + 50% Fire -> 
50% * 10% Electric + 50% * 90% Fire + 50% Fire (converting 90% of Fire to Fire has no effect) ->
5% Electric + 95% Fire w/ 90% dmg/tick added as Heat.

vs what we observe:

50% Electric + 50% Fire ->
-40% Electric + 50% Fire + 90% Fire/Heat ->
0% Electric + 140% Fire w/ 90% dmg/tick added as Heat
#

we've known about Hyper Propellant + T3.A Incendiary Compound for a very long time, but chalked it up to Overclock adding damage last or something

#

then Evan found that BC Inferno was doing 140% dmg/tick, but i don't remember what we ended up reasoning as the cause (if anything)

#

but it wasn't until U37, when Burning Nightmare with its 3 damage conversions did 105% damage, that i had enough data to formulate a strong hypothesis. so strong in fact, i now qualify it as a theory.

like, this is my cutting-edge research. i've barely propagated it to the Modelers on DCT, haven't even gotten to reporting via Jira yet.

It is called an infection in one of the lines.

#

In the rockpox praet description in the MM.

"Carrying advanced Lithophage infection, the Rockpox Praetorian has grown extremely resistant …"
"Active Rockpox infection here, need to foam it up!"

#

"Don't touch the Rockpox! It's worse than salad!"
Well according to that line it could also be a dangerous vegetable.

glacial topaz

pfff

can larvae infect you ?

proud cargo
#

There's a status-effect from infection. Not sure what exactly it does, but you can't move when it happens, much like when frozen

glacial topaz

well, I have seen it with praes and grunts on my tests
but, never with larvae

When you get infected and "frozen" with rockpox you take a tick of damage about once every second. I paid attention to it last night and it was like ~10-12 dmg on h3p3

floral drift
#

10 Disintegrate-element dmg per Rockpox tick

floral drift
#

i also noticed that the vast majority of Rockpox enemies applied it via a Status Effect, instead of on-hit damage. i think that was done so that it doesn't immediately fall off, but instead waits for the STE to end before your meter decreases

they do deal some damage, though, dangerous in groups, but they pretty much die immediately after

#

a larvae+passive infection from a nearby spike is likely to pox you

glacial topaz
#

sounds like a lot to check and write down
infection sources, mechanics, numbers, etc

worldly salmon
#

Sources from enemies are the most complex

#

there’s sources from the environment in the case of plague hearts, contagion spikes, and active rockpox ground, as far as I know

#

From the rockpox larvae he just applies a strong infection over time to dwarves it attacks

glacial topaz
#

is there RNG ??

worldly salmon
#

near as I can tell, infection rate stays pretty straightforward especially in the case of larvae

#

Which gives about 66% infection on hit

#

over the course of a few seconds

#

The praetorians and grunts are the most complex, with different infection buildup rates for their death clouds, tentacle throw attacks, melees, and vomit in the case of praets

#

There may be overlaps in some of these, but they’re all distinct on a per-enemy basis, it appears

glacial topaz
#

oh guess you don't have the raw values, only %s ?

worldly salmon
#

Roughly

#

One could possibly extrapolate based on the amount of “infection points” required to infect

#

But it would be more accurate to consult the game files, what I say are just ballpark numbers

@worldly salmon Hey a quick update about the puddles and the way they interact with the EPC. Turns out the charge shot puddles do still ignite at 20 heat, but there's something going on under the hood when two or more puddles are clustered together in close proximity to each other. It seems like they ignite as long as the heat between each of them it totaling up to 20.
This is interacting with the way the devs got Plasma Splash to work because the EPC now always has an AoE that deals 0 damage which is still getting the Burning Nightmare heat bonus. The 5 flat heat that applies to all normal shots applies to the 0 damage AoE and makes adjacent puddles accumulate 5 heat while the directly hit puddle takes 15. Since this is 20 Heat in total then the puddles will ignite. If you place two normal puddles such that they are touching then you can ignite both with a single EPC shot as well.

worldly salmon
#

ahh. that makes a lot of sense

silent sierra
#

My earlier test setup was only hooking the heat of one puddle at a time so I wasn't able to see the weirdness of whatever system is checking for the heat across puddles.

worldly salmon
#

i was wondering if the epc heat aoe was influencing the puddle heat levels

silent sierra
#

Yeah, MeatShield pointed it out to me that the AoE was what caused the extra 5 heat to be added to the normal shots over in DCT.

#

Incidentally this also means that the normal shots have a 1 meter AoE of 5 heat when running Burning Nightmare.

#

You can ignite clustered grunts with 6 normal shots.

worldly salmon
#

great findings overall. if im honest these things make plasma splash feel worse for area damage on normal shots compared to burning nightmare...

floral drift
#

10 Fire-element RadialDamage (15 w/ HH) or 5 Heat. 🤔 the damage would kill faster, i think?

#

but BN gives a crapton more than just the bugged 5 Heat AoE

worldly salmon
#

splash would kill faster yeah

#

but that would end up being the only major utility, which. hm

#

i dont know, it sounds like an easy choice at first glance

silent sierra
#

Eh. Honestly I'm just glad the EPC has a vanilla playstyle option for those who want it now. Plasma Splash just leans a lot harder into firing a single charge shot and then cleaning up a little after. The normal shot AoE being Fire damage helps a lot since the stuff that's weak to it are typically at mid to long range making weakpoint hits unlikely given the EPC's bullet behavior.

#

It always seemed weird to me that the EPC basically completely flipped the way it was played on its head as soon as Tier 5 was unlocked.

floral drift
#

Is there a tutorial/manual for how to inspect the code yourself?

glacial topaz
#

It does have guides yes
Though after you know, not much point in putting it here anyway
Anything specific you want to discover ? Testing in game using modding tools is equally valuable
As you need both to uncover some stuff

sterile crescent

Yeah, I prefer to do testing in-game (I run on Linux via Proton, so the modding tutorials are borderline worthless to me anyways), but having the hard numbers would be useful for double-checking certain things when we make edits

Bless winetricks

sterile crescent
#

I added the Rockpox Infection status effect based on some sandbox-mod testing, but if anyone can find in-game numbers to back up some of the elements, I would appreciate it

#

Namely the infestation decay rate (it seems to be reduced by 1 every fifth of a second), duration of immunity post-cleanse (I timed it to be ~2 seconds, but I'm sure a precise value exists somewhere), and the amount of infestation added per mined chunk of infestation (it takes 5 rapid breaks via Driller's drill to reach the cap w/o decay coming into play, but it might be something like 21 per broken piece that I just couldn't perceive or test very well)

It is way more complex,
Tried checking karl stuff, bit didnt fully understand

gaunt cipher
#

I knew it scaled with distance, but for some reason I had a totally wrong starting value...

floral drift
#

25 base damage, 30% AB, DMG_Piercing

#

if they damage something within 0.3m, it does no damage

#

0.3m - 1.8m, 5% damage (to counteract how many of them are hitting at once)

#

1.8m - 11m, 100% damage (25)

#

11m+ 400% damage

#

i'm under the impression that GSG set those values so it would attempt to do similar damage at most ranges

#

the reasoning being that 20 bullets would hit within 0.3m - 1.8m, so do 1/20th damage

#

and only 25% chance to be hit by a bullet at greater than 11m, so do 4x damage

#

etc etc

gaunt cipher
#

Right. Of course things can change with very large targets, which is why they can absolutely shred bulks anyways. Also the top 'circle' of shots opposite the surface it's stuck to seems like it can do a ton of damage at the right range, since the shots are pretty tightly grouped there.

#

Also, I can't speak for anyone else, but the old fandom wiki still shows up as autocompleted urls for me if I type "deep" into my address bar, on top of being higher on search results.
I feel like to get people to actually switch over would require like... putting a banner at the top of each page saying "hey, go look at this new wiki which is official now"

proud cargo
#

Autocompletion of URLs is probably based on your browser-history and bookmarks.

Putting a banner on the F-word would be ideal, but... they're going to do what they can to prevent that. I know Barotrauma had a banner on the F-word for a while, afaIk even with the F-word's knowledge. But that was a while ago, not sure if they'd still agree to that as easily.

gaunt cipher

Yes, I know. I'm saying that's probably true for other people too, which makes people less likely to leave the old wiki.

I have a video showing how it works in the most literal form.

Purple = more expensive to walk on for pathfinding, yellow = normal.

#

Pretty much it. Bugs prefer yellow but will cross purple if it is cheaper than a yellow path.

#

That is also official, I did that on a dev build that is used for debugging and kept secretly.

#

The delay between color changes is the actual time for the pathfinding to update, so enemies can and will ignore platforms that were placed recently.

toxic furnace
#

sorry had a hard time finding the new wiki lol

bold plover
#

Afaik that all sounds correct from my testing and extensive use of the upgrade since it released.

#

The only thing I am iffy on is "To avoid these scenarios placing platforms with, at the maximum, around 1 meter of space between them"

#

It's not wrong, it's just a bit misleading. Think of it this way, if you put two platforms together to make a figure 8, a bug would pathfind in the middle because there is less purple in the crack between it than each of the circles.

#

Since they don't create equal purple zones every time it can end up with mixed results.

#

So on a wall, 2 platforms next to each other need to be closer because the vertical depth in which the purple expands is shorter than it being on the floor, resulting in enemies going between the cracks much more often because the distance to get to yellow is shorter.

#

On the floor you can have almost 2m of a gap between platforms because they spread purple much more horizontally which can make a larger distance to get to the yellow in the middle.

#

Nothing is wrong with closer platforms though, just more consistency.

#

I also see a lot of people place repellent platforms close to their spot, which is a mistake.

#

The further away it is the better, within reason of course.

#

Instead of having a pinhole for enemies to go through you make a funnel shape leading to the pin hole, works a lot better for salvage.

#

What I usually do is put 2 platforms on the other side of the drop pod, but on either side, then a sizable gap before I place more leading up to the walls.

#

So here is a crude example:

#

Red platforms are what some people try to do and enemies ignore it. You can do different cones on either side for whatever the situation calls for.

#

But say you were standing here, it would also not work because it is cheaper to walk directly to you than all the way around.

#

An example of the wall scenario:

#

If the pink box collisions are the purple pathfinding, it would be better to group them closer because any gap between is immediate yellow which is easier to get to. If close they form a literal floor that they would have to walk all the way over so they usually go to the side, which can be increased by adding more below if the player is still far enough away.

#

And the bottom guard would have to travel further than the top one to get past the platforms due to the size difference between the purple spread from floor vs wall. This means that gaps on floor repellent is more forgiving with distance than wall ones which makes the statement on the wiki not quite accurate.

#

Also another thing to add to the wiki is that the player's head carves platforms now when one is created near eye height.

#

So you get a little hole in the cheese so you can't see through the world / escape as easily.

#

added in s02 afaik

trail gust
#

And these holes can get magically sealed back in my experience, after you jump out of such hole. I remember you may even create isolated surface in the dark cuz of that when trying to go outside.

what is up with the status effects of lead burst and shredder grenades ?

Damage limiter STE?

they’re kinda weird, they appear to be DoTs which deal a flat amount of damage per tick if the grenade deals damage to an enemy with a short cooldown dictated by tick rate or something

#

if one bullet hits of the lead burster the damage limiter dot will tick once, so there’s essentially a minimum damage?

Same with shredders

Heads up. @trail gust pointed something out over in DCT that will need addressing on the wiki as well. Looks like the Drak's electrocution mod applies the same buffed Electric DoT that the M1k and GK2 do. The Scout's primaries now all utilize the same exact status effect and no longer stack with one another, but they all deal 4.5 electric damage every 0.2 seconds and slow by 80% for six seconds.

He tested this in game and checked the references for the status effects, and I was able to verify within the files as well.

# gaunt cipher Do we have any concrete data on rockpox bug wave spawns? It feels like it's extr...

Based on some (very preliminary, in-game) tests, Rockpox-infected enemies appear to only spawn in one of four situations:

  • Initial spawns placed during cave gen (only in Lithophage Outbreak warnings, far as I can tell)
  • From Infested Boils which periodically spawn on infected terrain (will eventually spawn Rockpox larvae, but can be destroyed earlier to create a small infection cloud instead)
  • During the cleaning of Rockpox infested terrain (seems to randomly choose between 2-3 grunts, or a Praetorian, every time a new patch is cleaned, occurring at most ~once every second)
  • The random "Rockpox-infested" wave, which can replaces a normal wave in Lithophage Outbreak warnings and seems to do the following:
    • When a spawn group with grunts is selected (slashers and guards included), replace them with Rockpox infested ones
    • When a spawn group with praetorians is selected, replace them with Rockpox infested ones
    • For groups with other enemy types, bulky enemies are replaced with Praets, medium and smaller enemies with Grunts/Larvae
      As far as I've seen, there are no "passive" spawns for rockpox enemies; its those which already exist in the world when the cave is generated wander over passively which seem to gives that impression

That being said, I'm about to go into a Sandbox save and just start flying through caves and spawning random waves repeatedly to build up a dataset to double-check everything, so take this with a heaping pile of salt for now

i think there should be a banner on the old fandom wiki that it's no longer going to be maintained and that we've migrated to wiki.gg

Unfortunately, the Sandbox's "disabled spawned AI" doesn't work on spawns as part of a swarm

Going to triple check, but very unusual quirk of the gun all the same

sterile crescent

So, yeah, it wasn't just a fluke

This quirk also exists with the laser pointer, strangly

#

If you try to ping the ether, it will "queue" the ping instead, until your laser pointer over something it can actually ping

#

So, even more testing ensued

#

The Microwave has a 100m range; if nothing is hit within that range, it just won't overheat period

#

If it happens to touch an enemy before it ends up in that no-hit state, however, the heat GUI bugs out and makes it look like its still gaining heat, but it will just stop after a bit

Ditto with terrain, though terrain seems to make the heat "jump"

aaand for some reason
escort is the only mission that is giving less crafting minerals than expect (Jadiz used for test)
every other mission causes 100% or more to spawn, based on the mission scale value
yet, Escort doesn't spawn all, could be that I am using a ridiculous amount, but weird that every other mission type handles it fine

warm sage
#

I thought it was intentional mboi

trail gust
#

I remember escort had issues with 149 morkite, and it carves big chunk of terrain for ommoran...

#

not surprised

glacial topaz
#

using 100 jadiz
based on the scaling for long-average, I should be seeing 160
but I get like 80 (variable)
that seems quite a crazy chunk to cut down
but I wanna try with only 10 to see if the same happens

#

yup, 400 morkite still spawning double, so at least that follows

#

x-x yea, I guess my idea of "not enough space" wasn't really true
even with 10 jadiz for base value
escort only spawned 9

warm sage
#

Could it be related to the type of mineral? Feel like Umanite specifically still spawns fine, but that's anecdotal

glacial topaz
#

umanite from Radioactive has a big range of how much it can spawn
but if I make it a fixed value, I can try comparing it with other mission types

otherwise I will go back to discovering how game handles decimals when scaling a 1-2 carried mineral spawn, and how mined minerals relate to the biome numbers on the files...

shell frigate
#

Is it all gem type resources?

glacial topaz
#

so far jadiz only
didn't move to other sources yet
outside a small test showing that 50 bismor in files is giving me 65 mined bismor in game

gaunt cipher
#

This is purely anecdotal, but I have always felt that escort missions are absolutely terrible for mineral gain.

shell frigate
glacial topaz
#

alright, let's see how much I will mine
base of 50 umanite, escort medium-complex

bold plover
#

different rooms have different mineral scalars and same goes for pls and dna

glacial topaz
#

so escort rooms are bugged or something ?

bold plover
#

idk, some mission types outright dont spawn certain things too

#

like egg hunt pls cant spawn morkite iirc

sterile crescent
#

Or is this measurement per-"chunk"?

glacial topaz
#

not counting any other minerals other than embbed ones

sterile crescent
#

Did you count how many deposits of minerals there are overall in each mission type and length? I suspect that might be more-or-less constant

#

Minerals period, including gold, nitra, oil shale, morkite etc.

#

I can help collect data on that if not, but I don't know your sampling methodology

glacial topaz
#

not working with that no
just how stuff like bismor and jadiz appear more or less depending on mission type

glacial topaz
glacial topaz
#

that gave me 107 umanite

#

so , so far both jadiz (embed) and umanite (mined) are following that pattern
Do give me ideas of what to try out to test
(reminding it is about crafting mineral spawns, so not messing with nitra / gold and co)

This page lists all references to outside media found within the game. It is mainly intended as a reference point for community translators, so that they can more easily find and implement accurate, official translations, where applicable.

I did a couple of observations on stock Inferno heat:

  • 50 ticks per second
  • First tick is 50 damage, no heat
  • Second tick includes STE which deals 7 heat
  • Each tick it does exactly 7.2 heat

7.2x50=360 which is 90% of the specified Beam DpS value.
The damage ticks still do 140% more damage, as known. Hence heat is not bugged, only fire damage is.

And ofc, STE_Heat_Plasma_Linecutter (which is probably supposed to deal 75 heat at once) gets applied but has no effect.

some more findings
for 1 base enor, the 6 missions I tested with salvage (2 mules, 140% scale), gave me 1 enor each
the 3 I tested with egg (6, 150% scale), gave me 2 each
which makes me think it is always rounding it up or down, no RNG
and last, for a base of 2-3 enor, and a 200% scale, I got out of 10 missions, 5 with 4 enor, 4 with 5 enor and 1 with 6 enor,
not the proportions I expected, but small sample size (I imagine it picks a number between 2-3 and rounds it, so 2-2.25 will give 4 (25%), 2.25 - 2.75 will give 5 (50%) , and 2.75-3 will give 6 (25%))

glacial topaz
#

also, tried increasnig umanite carver and density values by 4-5x
not much testing on it, but more carver made less spawn in the mission
while density might have made the mineral itself bigger while giving same value when mined
but can't tell if it was just impression... might try making it even higher
the more complicated part is that even though I set it to a fixed base value, I got, a variation of 31-40 spawned in the same mission type
gonna have to figure out why that range, if i am not using escort

is the last leadburster damage modifier for 9m or more ?
Karl is saying it is 9, but got curious on why there is a 7 set as minimum too

floral drift
#

🤔 before today's patch, it was Min=11, Max=9. generally when DRG has Min > Max, it just defaults to Min value.

so, seeing that Min = 7 < 9 = Max now... i'm not sure how it works. does it not get 2.5x damage at >9m?

#

when i updated the karl.gg stats earlier today i just picked the larger number without actually reading the min/max tags. an oversight on my part, sorry.

#

my brain is preoccupied with overhauling ~80% of the DPS Calculator's internal logic to more closely match in-game stuff

glacial topaz
#

there is a "TestMaxDistance" set as false
so I thought it would just ignore the 9m and consider it 7m+
Easy to mod, but not so sure on how to test it giving how many bullets there will be...
well... could make it be a 1 to 100 damage increase
and don't worry about oversight, wiki is community effort and we have each other covered

floral drift
#

i suppose an easy way to test it would be do damage a large, unmoving enemy like Brood Nexus from > 10m away 🤔

if the 2.5x damage doesn't apply at that distance (increments of 20, instead of 50), then we can know that the 9m distance is a cutoff.

but i suspect you're right, that it starts at 7m now instead of 11m, and then stays active forever because TestMaxDistance=false

glacial topaz
#

Neat 📝

trail gust
#

I thought the same about MaxDistance,
in previous patches I tested it out to get precise 11 m boostpoint,
now I did the same around 7 meters edge - going in / out of that zone leads to getting / missing x2.5 multiplier,
and you definitely get that x2.5, let's say, at 25 m.

Hi, I have a quick question : when referring to the interaction between weakpoint damage and the "Frozen" status effect the wiki says this "Frozen enemies will also have their weak spots disabled, but targeting any part of their body with direct damage will cause the damage multiplier, even on armor plating."
Is the damage multiplier being referred to the weakpoint damage multiplier (meaning that frozen bugs take bonus damage from weapons with weakpoint damage bonuses ontop of the normal 3x) or is it just referring to the normal 3x damage multiplier and frozen bugs don't get weakpoint damage bonuses applied to them?

TLDR : do bugs that are frozen take bonus damage on top of the normal 3x if the weapon shooting them has a weakpoint bonus mod?

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it basically just comes down to whether the weakpoint itself has its material shifted to the frozen material.

bold plover
#

Correct, weakspots are done through physical materials.

#

Brood Nexus eyes are separate actors that are linked via certain components and thus do not get frozen physical material or maybe frozen in general due to a lack of temperature component?

Thank you! Well, follow-up I guess. If a Grunt's armor is hit with multiple pellets is each pellet's break chance done separetely or is the damage totaled up? I expected separate damage, but I'm curious

#

I know grunt armor is a % chance to break based on how much damage it takes from your armor page, so I'm just curious

glacial topaz
#

don't remember that ever being asked or being discussed
so trying to find reasons on why the game would want to calculate all at once
actually if you tink about it, it wouldn't make sense to it to behave as 1 damage instance
cuz you can damage multiple enemies with the same shot

dusty fractal
#

I'm not exactly sure how grunt armor is...put together? I suppose. So I wasn't sure if multiple pellets hitting the same section would total damage before checking the armor break or not. I have a great deal of time playing the game and watching armor get chipped away and have read whats on the wiki but basically have very little knowledge of how the game is built.

I believe Elythnwaen did check for whether pellets rolled independently and iirc they do.

dusty fractal
#

God I don't wanna do the math on calculating whether or not armor breaking is worth it on the Engineer Shotgun now.

#

With each shot being rolled independently the possible permutations for pellets hitting armor and whether or not you'll one shot the grunt is a lot

glacial topaz
#

isn't warthog a shorter name to say
and not like you have to calculate by hand

gaunt cipher
#

I'll save you some time: +1 damage per pellet is way better than +400% AB on warthog

dusty fractal
#

Thats pretty much what I thought

glacial topaz
#

which enemy, which build, which calculations

dusty fractal
#

And adding the conditional rules to my spreadsheet by hand was a pain

#

1-shotting Grunts

#

I was trying to figure out where the armor break matters

worldly salmon
#

Not enough I think is the easy enough conclusion to make

#

But I’m assuming you’re compiling this for the sake of argument

#

Or to prove a point, I guess

gaunt cipher
dusty fractal
#

I think theres like two main cases for when the armor break would matter so far

gaunt cipher
#

it's only really handy vs shellbacks and sometimes brundles, primarily the former

dusty fractal
#

Thats my typical assumption for like 90% of armor breaking skills

gaunt cipher
#

but having nearly 15% more damage against everything is just way better than popping armor more easily on that gun

dusty fractal
#

But I was curious if you could get over a breakpoint somewhere by cracking armor

#

And if you have 8x10 then 5 pellets hitting the head and 4 pellets hitting armor needs a break to kill and 4 pellets hitting the head with all 6 pellets hitting armor needs a break to kill. Otherwise you're either killing just by landing pellets on armor, not killing regardless, or killing via the headshot

#

Assuming I haven't fluffed an equation somewhere XD

#

Anyway, I'm debating reviving an old reddit series I did about various semi-optimized weapon builds and the Warthog has been driving me nuts with its math

austere fossil
#

"semi" as in "not spending ages on doing ALL the math"?

worldly salmon
#

I think it will be easy enough to generalize and say “armorbreak is not worth taking on warthog realistically in most situations”, it isn’t enough of a utility boost compared to the ammo save and dps increase from raw damage up

dusty fractal
#

Yeah, not gonna figure out the chance of pellets to properly line up to hit the grunt's head at various distances or shit like that

#

I'm not that insane

#

But yeah, basically gonna say "Armor breaking is your secondaries job as Engie" and leave it at that, probably

worldly salmon
#

That said, armor break is still like. Fine I guess? Truthfully I don’t hate it on an ammo setup optimized for shredding armor off of praetorians without much brainpower

#

But it definitely is suboptimal

dusty fractal
#

I mean, there are people who solo deep dives and shit so you can do whatever the hell you want. This is just to give the folks who want answers a helping hand int he right direction

worldly salmon
#

It’s at best a slight convenience for enemies which have a good deal of armor

#

And at best, that’s worse than the damage mod

dusty fractal
#

I'm not gonna try and tell people how to play or that what they're doing is wrong, just gonna try and point out places the game can get tricky

#

Regardless, thanks for the help!

# dusty fractal And if you have 8x10 then 5 pellets hitting the head and 4 pellets hitting armor...

Well, in this case, you'd need at least 2 of the bodyshots to deal full damage to oneshot.
((8 * 2) * 5)+((8) * 2)+((8 * 0.8) * 2) = 108.8, while
((8 * 2) * 5)+((8) * 1)+((8 * 0.8) * 3) = 107.2
No AB mod means no damage punchthrough on AB, so this means the armor must break on either the 1st or 2nd pellet hit for at least 2 of the upcoming pellets to do full damage. Also no AB mod means that the AB chance per pellet is 0.266(repeating).

So we can show this via a simple probability tree(bear in mind this is done quickly and with some rounding, albeit not enough to make a significant difference here):

#

Since armor needs to break in the first 2 shots for this to kill, we can combine the probability of 1a+2a, and compare it to the probability of 3a+4a+4b.
So the chance of this oneshotting is 46.1%, vs 53.9% chance to not oneshot.

#

So then, let's say we didn't take the +1 damage and instead took AB mod.
Damage is now 7. Let's say that, like before, 5 pellets hit face and 4 hit body.
And let's assume that we break armor on the first pellet. This isn't actually guaranteed since the AB chance is 0.79, but that won't matter much, because…
((7 * 2) * 5)+((7) * 4)) = 98
So even with bestcase RNG, under these circumstances warthog AB mod cannot oneshot a grunt, while warthog damage mod has a nearly 50% chance to.

#

And what this all is living under the shadow of is how, if you're close enough+on target enough to land 5/4 pellets to face/body, you're quite likely to land 6/4 or 5/5 instead, and oneshot with the damage mod, AB RNG involved whatsoever.

#

tl;dr: if you're aiming at grunt faces with warthog, you should be taking the damage mod. (and you should be aiming at grunt faces with warthog.)

gaunt cipher
#

(also this is assuming all the pellets are hitting the same armor plate bc I don't know in what context you'd be hitting 5/4 to face/armor without those 4 hitting the head plate)

glacial topaz
#

We still have Poison and Neurotoxin as 2 different statuses right ?
have to check if more symbols changed too

Are the Mission Control voice lines upon returning to the Space Rig during the two new assignments already on the wiki? I didn't seem to find them. If they're not, what would be an appropriate place to put them?

acoustic scarab
#

I think there's a derelict page with all voice lines

#

@native oyster there probably ⬆️

acoustic scarab
#

Gah, I recall posting a link to a reddit comment where someone goes into a lot of detail about how the game compiles waves, and I can't find it now 😦

glacial topaz
#

yea, it is like having 80% information
but the missing gaps are far too important that otherwise it will just be dumping information without a clear / good explanation on it

acoustic scarab
#

Yes! Thank you

weary sonnet

You posted it in the onboarding discord.

Does anyone know where in the game files the subtitles are located? I've managed to find and extract the new season voice lines but I'd rather go by subtitles than transcribe by ear for adding them to the wiki.

The thing I find makes shotguns so annoying to calculate for with regards to armor break is that any scenario involving grunt armor will typically involve pellets hitting two or more armor plates at a time. After all if a player is close enough to be hitting only one armor plate then the grunt is most likely facing that player and presenting its mouth to them.
When running the normal napkin math there is a pretty big bias against armor break unless we assume a more even split of damage across more armor plates. It's still not that favorable, but it does help a little bit.

gaunt cipher
#

That's true, but I'm not spending the amount of time required to calculate for a spread of different variations based on what plates are being hit... especially because of armor link bug 😩

#

the actual takeaway there is that in that scenario(5/4 WP/body), it's simply not possible to oneshot with AB while +dmg has at least some chance

#

and tbh I do still think one of the most frequent times you'd hit 5/4 WP/body is if your headshot is aimed just a bit too high, so some pellets hit head plate instead of mouth

#

in which case those 4 can hit the same plate

silent sierra
#

Oh for sure! I've been pooring over prob and stats text books for a while trying to set up scripts for doing this stuff for me for a while. I'm not going to hold anyone to checking the full range of possibilities. I just want to make sure to call out how the actual problem is exponentially more complicated to calculate than what can be reasonably done in a discord conversation.

Ghostship just really likes RNG popping eggs for you

glacial topaz
#

not like you can control when the meteor spawns tho

sterile crescent
#

Fair, but I imagine it uses the same "Heavilly damage all enemies in an AoE" effect

#

Like the end of the Escort as well

#

An oversight, maybe, but I don't think its a bug as such anymore

glacial topaz
#

the dozer one is evil
as not much you can do to get doreta out of the way I think
probably non intentional
I mean, didn't they put a lot of "no meteor" zones around important locations ? thought dozer would be the same

sterile crescent
#

I think it checks where the dozer is, but not where it will be

#

So its very unlikely to get hit, but can still get hit

#

This is just an educated guess based on my programming/debugging experience though

sterile crescent
#

Not a meteor slamming into Doretta as such

#

As someone who's done programming before (and is thus very good at being lazy code re-use) I can see Ghostship developers just re-using that explosion across all "AoE damage" effects, just with different white-lists for different sources

#

None of which seem to exclude the Exterminate eggs

glacial topaz
#

on another note
seems some status symbols changed
might be good to get some reports of them in game, so I can update them
those are: neurotoxin and poison-acid
neurotoxin one I think is already taken care of, just have to know if the old icon is used anywhere (status icons in game mostly)
while poison acid, I wanna know if the "hand" symbol is used anywhere, or something

high cloud
#

Is there a breakdown of the current state of necrosis?

dreamy berry
#

did you take the screenshots in the drive with an ultra wide resolution or was it a mod that disables the UI?

high cloud
glacial topaz
#

not sure what is more to break down for it

short cloud
glacial topaz
#

CD of what, weapon stuff isn't just ones that can interact with weakspots to get the bonus ?
dont see it being any different

#

sounds more like about missing a variable then needing a breakdown

short cloud
#

and checking weapons per weapons what is taking blisters into account and what isn't could be called a breakdown but I don't think it's a necessity to put it on the wiki, unless you really want every info about everything.

glacial topaz
#

is acid still a valid name for the status ?
"Acid (also known as Poison) is a status effect that causes Poison DoT"

short cloud
glacial topaz
#

I mean, you can't have the attack name be a factor
more like "the acid spit gives poison status"
but like, if there is no place that says "acid status"
shouldn't we just ditch the acid word ?

short cloud
austere fossil
#

unless you precise on the praetorian page that the spit attack deals poison damage
It does already specify "Acid Spray" is Poison damage on the Praetorian page

short cloud
#

let's just forget about the Acid mention on the poison damage entirely then

austere fossil
#

There's also the Acid Spitter but its page also specifies the DoT is Poison damage

dreamy berry
cerulean berry

the game doesn't know UUU exists at all
