Abiotic Factor

[sick charm]

literally everyone in the facility hears it when it fires

[supple dome]

holy shit

[candid temple]

Scorch marks on the wall where the pellets impacted

I wish I had a video of it

[sick charm]

I've seen multiplayer video where somebody randomly gets flashbanged by someone else fighting half the facility away with it

while cooking in the base

[supple dome]

me when ||Kylie Muir|| tells me "i'm proud of you"

https://tenor.com/view/ultra-instinct-goku-gif-24087100

also moisture teleporters are elite

[woeful raptor]

god im so lost in labs

im just sprinting through trying to find progress with a kitchen knife maiming every solder i come across

[supple dome]

it can be a fucking maze at times

got the ||Nuke Vac and it can apparently pull missiles and mystagogue eyes out of the air, sick as hell||

[still igloo]

I'm in residences and I still get lost in labs any time I want to find one of the trade machines

[supple dome]

i put down beacons on them

also

my body is a machine that turns Going somewhere into broken legs

broken leg, leg fracture, sprained ankle 💪

[woeful raptor]

smart as fuck

im planning on mass producing workbenches and like

just removing the enemy spawns around there

[supple dome]

mhm

fair nuff

fishing rn

then i'm going to go commit extreme violence

fuck

i fished the wrong fish

gods damn it

[still igloo]

Bionic legs: Terrible for first aid exp, great for my sanity

[supple dome]

i needed the fucking inkfish

i got like 13 of those fish 😭

going to cook the fish fillets and then go get the fish i actually need

[sick charm]

Oh I should do that

For critical land marks my friends keep getting lost on

[woeful raptor]

shit thats such a good idea

goddammit

i need to mass produce these like right now

furniture store my beloathed

can i please just get like a little ping or something when im near one i havent activated

[supple dome]

got 9/10 of a mat i needed and no more enemies to fight

pain

i think my friend genuinely fucked up a vehicle permanently

i didn't even know you could but hehas

[woeful raptor]

did he cut it in half, how do you manage that??

also is there a way to hide the suit equipment

w the transmog or w/e

[clever flower]

Anytime I get lost as hell I imagine trying to actually work in this goddamn place, no jetpack no gravity cube no teleporters

'a'right walk down this half-mile hallway in order to get to the stairs'

[woeful raptor]

those stuffy pencil pushers dont have anything better to do anyways

"ohhh lock the grav cube away and not use it" are you serious

[supple dome]

he got the car stuck

in the ground

[woeful raptor]

god damn

[supple dome]

on top of the fucking respawn button

genuinely mystifying stuff

ok the ||Night Magnum||fucks

[woeful raptor]

where should i put these beacons besides all the labs trades

[supple dome]

upgraded shotgun obtained

we are ballin

[supple dome]

realized i've kept upgrading my shield despite just not using 1 handed weapons for like

ages

need to go grab a one handed melee weapon

think imma just make myself a good one-handed weapon and give my friend my ||laser katana||

[clever flower]

wish the magnum worked with a shield but i understand our fragile science wrist would implode

[supple dome]

yeah

man fuck the machine gun guys on the far side of ||cloud reactor||

that's some bullshit

[oak parcel]

[supple dome]

genuinely just getting mowed down and sniped instantly

this fucking sucks

try putting up my shield but that might as well not exist

the knockback is making it impossible for me to even move around

[candid temple]

What shield?

[supple dome]

hardlight

i got them

fuckers

[supple dome]

ok

well

i see what you mean with the Polished Antique Shotgun being funny

jfc

that's going to be so fucking funny when it happens with my mates around the first time

[woeful raptor]

misclicking towards my base once:

[supple dome]

here is the car my friend absolutely fucked btw

spoilers for later parts of the game

[sick charm]

Btw what are ||redaction|| grenades useful for even

It seems like an absurd amount of overkill

[oak parcel]

Memery

[oak parcel]

I have accidentallyed someone with it, and the range on the is absurd

[sick charm]

Hardlight shield got nerfed

It now does fuck all against machineguns

And snipers

Only shield that works against either now is the riot shield

[supple dome]

Rip

I'm going to make it into a ||Mystagogue bracer||

So it's not a huge deal

But that sucks still

[supple dome]

Incredible

[sick charm]

Yeah it basically flash bangs everyone on the postal code

[supple dome]

Gonna be so much fun when it happens with the whole group there

[supple dome]

aww man wtf, apparently Grayson is supposed to be a trader but he hasn't showed up ever as one

apparently i could bandage him again so we'll see if that does anything

[woeful raptor]

yeah early on he got stuck in my doorway so every time he appeared i had to relog so i could get into the cramped cafeteria cubicle base thing

[supple dome]

ok yeah he seems to have been healed

[brittle comet]

Comedy

The one use case I can see is dealing with ||the two defence robots in cloud reactor|| but you get the grenades after that’s relevant

[supple dome]

why do riot shield enemies exist

they genuinely just make the game unfun to play

[sick charm]

Yeah they are annoying

[supple dome]

when they like, hunker down and start doing shielf bashes it makes me want to scream

[candid temple]

Throw moltovs at their feet or position them between you and a shotgunner

[woeful raptor]

that reminds me

i should start creating grenades and such

[candid temple]

Y'know, looking at the damage again, I'm wondering if Frag Grenades being only 50 damage more than mugnades is part of the whole "military should be worse than science" outlook

Frags might be easier to farm?

[woeful raptor]

need to look up what mugnades cost again

oh god

yeah thats abysmal to farm lmao

not as bad as optic lenses though

[candid temple]

Eh, I've found I had a stockpile of most of that stuff

Soil is the tough one

Frags would be easy to farm if I could find a way to instantly kill the robots

[woeful raptor]

yeah soil is not fun for me to farm at all

[candid temple]

Hm, I wonder if Thumper Shotgun to the back would instakill the robots with Sneak 15

[oak parcel]

i just (reactor spoilers)||skink|| them

[sick charm]

playing with a group of 4 I think i have more dung than I know what to do with

but honestly you can just keep drinking coffee

these days I think I just take a carbon pick to hydroplant to farm up frag grenades instead of making my own I think

[supple dome]

we back up to fully operational superweapon status

i've learned that carrying too many weapons is good actually

because i always have a holdout weapon

in fact i usually have like 3

also Carbon Pickaxe is the undisputed goat ngl

[still igloo]

My hotbar is usually a solid strip of 8 weapons, flanked by a teleporter and a throwable (healing briefcase/||hardlight shield||)

Utility items can live in my backpack

[supple dome]

I always keep my military knife ready

Gonna be cooking the shit out of some eggs for cooking levels tomorrow

[sick charm]

is that a plasma rifle I see

[soft chasm]

excuse you

that's a ||plasmois|| rifle

[sick charm]

i find that unforgiveably french

[oak parcel]

i find it unforgivably burst fire

[dense ember]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ntV3XyazCM

[soft chasm]

don't worry, there's no piss mechanic

you're good gianni

[dense ember]

hmmmmm

latest update fudged something with mod again, come onnn

it's not even a big change

[high badge]

what mods are you using?

[dense ember]

NPC details and damage number

I updated the UE4ss mod, and both just don't work anymore

switched back to the old version of UE4SS, and only NPC details work

instant fishing still work despite everything

[supple dome]

lookin proper military now

[brittle comet]

i was tempted by the chief helmet but stuck with the uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

tarasque

[supple dome]

wearing ||Legate armor and Chief helmet, with the assassin armor as chest plate cosmetic||

had been wearing the max upgraded maestro armor for speed

but tbh i just want more armor at this point

[sick charm]

I got the gas mask look

With wearing the carapace helmet carapace leg carapace arm

With torso slot left blank

[woeful raptor]

did yall find a way to turn off the rat suit

or the hazmat suit slot

[sick charm]

nah

[woeful raptor]

AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH

HELL WORLD

[supple dome]

does the backpack cosmetic work for y'all

[soft chasm]

not in the game yet

[woeful raptor]

https://tenor.com/view/madness-elden-ring-frenzy-frenzy-flame-flame-of-frenzy-gif-25870095

[supple dome]

i really just want to transmog over my jetpack

[soft chasm]

although it's been asked after so consistently that zag's seemed to indicate they're relenting

and it's just

not a priority

because priorities are bugfixes and a post-1.0 break

[woeful raptor]

right

at least theyre relenting...?

i just dont see why there's a specific artistic vision towards keeping the hazmat suit visible

[brittle comet]

||wish interfector gear actually did something||

[sick charm]

Zag seems to have some very uhhh odd fixations on artistic vision

[supple dome]

yeah

[woeful raptor]

like i get the military gun stuff like

the og military gun balancing usage whatever

but like this is cosmetics i want to drip my character out cmon

[supple dome]

one woman army

prolly gonna trade the ||skink for a chef knife|| and give it to one of my friends

[sick charm]

But skink is friend

[supple dome]

true

my friends will appreciate it more

[supple dome]

finally

chef knife

this is more like it

[sick charm]

Woman who has three knives

[supple dome]

i also have a ||Nuke vac||

[woeful raptor]

zoro

[supple dome]

ready to commit extreme violence

[woeful raptor]

on the topic of chefs knives

sometimes i think about what it'd be like prowling the manufacturing/labs sector as the order

[supple dome]

Chefs knife btw is the best item for chopping corpses in the game

[woeful raptor]

and then seeing some scientist chef knife your squad to death

[supple dome]

you have a 0% chance of getting bio-scrap

[woeful raptor]

cut up their corpses while being shot by you

and then once theyre done, they turn to you and run into a full sprint

[sick charm]

Chef knife is basically useless asa weapon

[woeful raptor]

idunnnnooooo

it seems to kill people just fine

though it takes a

very. long time

hm.

[sick charm]

True

It does 5 slash damage

[woeful raptor]

• level scaling

[supple dome]

got a ||deatomizer||

extra violence

[supple dome]

lookin kinda slick

you know i kinda wanna make a irl employee badge

[oak parcel]

i want one of the mugs but the shipping makes them so expensives

[oak parcel]

just got into residences today ||fucking HATE that, HORRID writing choice||

[woeful raptor]

oh god

that's ominous

[soft chasm]

oh, i thought it was great

i really thought that ||hasta tria was going to get out scot-free by virtue of being named and nominally allied with us||

[oak parcel]

||killed off the most interesting thread in the game so far and then gave us a terribly written excuse to try to get us to not hate abe and janet for it||

[umbral narwhal]

To be fair ||I'd mag dump a deatomizer into any Rat I see for the loot as well and totally shot Hasta before realising he was a non-hostile NPC||

[soft chasm]

i mean, ||if we had the option, i would have killed him instantly, hostile or not||

||he's still part of a global conspiracy-cult that assassinates people and came to the GATE facilities specifically to slaughter hundreds or thousands of civilians||

[dense ember]

||And the Order as a whole has been the key set up by Cahn to trigger the whole situation over the course of millennia, and they only found it out too late.||

[candid temple]

||I didn't want Hasta Tria to lead me around the new area and explore it on my own. Also I like Abe and Janet more||

I'm just angry they didn't share their ||giant laser turret blueprint||

[soft chasm]

tru

[umbral narwhal]

I'd love a manned ||giant laser turret. Maybe one that can kill Composers and comes with shielding. Something to build in Reactors to deal with certain groups of Gatekeeper troops.||

[candid temple]

They should let us build science equivalents of the machineguns

[oak parcel]

i am now 2 for 2 on acidentalying one of my friends

the same friend both times

[dense ember]

I do want some kind of minigun yes

yes our science arms are noodles

we can just sciense our way into dakka!

[sick charm]

I wish we had a laser collector integrated backpack

Directly powering our deatomizer

[soft chasm]

only if they halve the damage of the deatomizer

well, halve the tick rate

so its damage and stagger both go down

[oak parcel]

kylie spoilers: ||for anyone pondering the ethics of turning her into a shield generator||

[supple dome]

great success

[oak parcel]

||the internet/the description was somewhat implying it was a morally bad thing to do to her so i waited till just after an auto save to try it so i could revert it and like its a good thing (assuming you still keep the promise)||

[supple dome]

(residence sector spoilers)||Hasta Tria 😭 ||

[oak parcel]

||yeah that bit was such bad writing imo||

[brittle comet]

||agreed even if it was funny||

||hyping him up for the better part of a year and giving him a new fancy outfit just to kill him the second you start the area the update is about||

[clever flower]

||i feel like I didn't get as attached to Tria as folks seemed to, what d'ya mean hype||

[oak parcel]

||not to mention how the fuck do abe an janet think we're in a hostage situation when the would be hostage taker went first and unarmed and the players can be brandishing all kinds of weaponry||

[supple dome]

||it was very funny but i don't like it||

[supple dome]

:D

rip my shield generator

should have high-key kept it

[sick charm]

Think about the achievements

[supple dome]

yeah but like

i could have just not upgraded ||Kylie with it||

and just ||kept her as a normal chip||

[supple dome]

ah well

i grabbed a censer instead

[sick charm]

what's the pro con of hardlight shield vs censer ayways

thinking of grabbing the zip shield for the halo playstyle anyways

[supple dome]

censer revives you once

hardlight is an extra layer of defense basically

[oak parcel]

once per 5 minutes, if you get a dbno state

if you get insta killed by like an explosion its bypassed

[sick charm]

I keep forgetting to bring bandages when I go to farm defense runes in reactors

[oak parcel]

and you choose to use it or not, its a prompt on the dbno

[sick charm]

Oh it’s once every five minutes

So you can’t become functionally immortal by carrying a cot

[oak parcel]

and the 5min is enforced by a debuff so you cant cycle trinkets either

you can wait 5 min before popping you head around the corner however

[supple dome]

i cannot be fucked to farm another rune for a shield

[soft chasm]

what

gate runes just happen to you

you need a million corrupted cpus for things

and there's a mystagogue by the fastest volatile exor pack

and then you usually get a couple on your first SG clear

[sick charm]

Killing corrupted robots are such a bother

[soft chasm]

deatomizer, my friend

or darts

[sick charm]

I mean yeah that’s what I do

Deatomizer I mean

But it takes more than a full charge to kill one it seems

So I just sit at a slightly higher elevation and toss quantum picks at it

[woeful raptor]

im very tempted to also just turn up the enemy spawns and turn down the enemy damage by a ton

[sick charm]

Who says I’m not Gordon freeman

Cause I feel more powerful than Gordon freeman now

With my hardlight saber and alien armor

[soft chasm]

it definitely doesn't

this is a video i took a couple weeks ago making a point about how fucked the deatomizer is

i was also sloppy with my aim and didn't hit the eye 100% of the time

[woeful raptor]

are there any items that might help me move bases

it's starting to get really cramped in the cafeteria

[candid temple]

There's a cart

[sick charm]

Carts and forklifts and maybe the electric cart

[woeful raptor]

ah the forklifts

urghg yeah ill just bring a cart

one chest at a time

[supple dome]

i've farmed out like 5 by just beating my skull against Shadow Gate

i already need to farm materials to make 4 ||Excursion suits||

so i'm just sticking with the fucking censer

i need 23 power cells before we can continue playing at least and i did not have the foresight to go farm flathill passively

[soft chasm]

before you can continue playing?

you don't need that item

[supple dome]

the Flathill, ||Praetorium||, reactor loop calls to me

[supple dome]

well yes

but my group wants to get it cause it's cool

we need to get the materials

i am by far the most adept at getting materials

thus if i put effort into getting materials it will speed up the process

my friends have designated me the scout troop leader and have been approximating headless chickens a lot of the time so i'm just going to try to optimize the situation so we can keep having fun

Honestly it's kinda fun in a way cause usually two of them are unhinged min/maxers who learn literally everything there is to know about games they play and do crazy in-depth theory and buildcrafting but they've just been relying on me for knowledge this time

[candid temple]

Hm, the flamethrower seems a bit underwhelming

That or Mystagogues are tankier than I remember

[soft chasm]

no, you're right

the flamethrower's damage is pretty poor

and it's even worse against mystagogues, because one of the gimmicks of the flamethrower is that it deals holy damage

i.e. it ignores hardlight

and the mystics don't have active hardlight shields

just their forward barrier

so there's nothing for it to ignore/gain damage against

[sick charm]

Wish there was a legit side grade to the deatomizer

Like a pulsed laser or smth

[supple dome]

I use the flamethrower to stun jotuns

[sick charm]

Plasma rifle is a pretty good backup weapon

I think I change to it to pop jotun’s shield before switching back to deatomizer

[supple dome]

Fair nuff

It's super ammo hungry so i stopped using it

[sick charm]

Yeah

I just use it for emergencies

Or when popping jotun shield

Emergencies line

“Oh god an exor is is in front of me and I’m out of deatomizer charge I need to dump 300 damage to its head in a second”

[candid temple]

Mystagogues are just a real pain for me since I'm melee

[sick charm]

I mostly use crossbows and deatomizers

[oak parcel]

skink

[sick charm]

Oh yeah I always got a skink

In case I need to assassinate a mystagogue

[candid temple]

I've been wondering if an Electron Grenade can just take them out

[sick charm]

Doesn’t seem alll too reliable

Kill radius of an electron grenade seems smaller than a mugnade

Two mugnades will take it out real quick

[candid temple]

They're weak to electricity

[sick charm]

Yeah

But getting a hit on it is hard

Since they float around so much

Mugnades has a larger kill radius

So they are more reliable

[candid temple]

Yeah, maybe if you could get a direct shot

[sick charm]

Yeah

Couldn’t really manage that though

I do have throwing ten now

So I could maybe predict the throwing arc better

[high badge]

Mugnade sweep forever

[muted juniper]

hey i'm told the upgraded vacuum cleaner can pick up grenades... been trying to do that w/o success, is there a trick to it?

[soft chasm]

i wish that all of the lategame guns were competitive with it

[soft chasm]

yeah it's called praying

just hope that the jank works

[sick charm]

I just want an actual laser rifle

But I guess that’s basically the laser pistol now

[high badge]

Just don't use the Deatomizer if you don't like it

[soft chasm]

unfortunately it outdpses any other three weapons put together and also has like 5x the ammo-space-efficiency and doesn't need to be farmed

it's not just "the best weapon in the game", it's the best by so wide a margin that it actively feels awful to use anything else

[oak parcel]

just to be contrarian the upgraded shotgun out dpses it if you're really really lucky

but honestly thats just a testament to how op the deatomizer is

[soft chasm]

this is true, if you have a 100% trigger rate on the 2% crit chance, its 10k damage hits are better

[oak parcel]

that the only thing that holds a candle to it is the meme cannon

[soft chasm]

glitchthrowing the quantum pick is...not quite there, but pre-nerf was almost competitive

it's not anymore

but it was

and max-tier darts are competitive

crystal darts are reasonably close, assuming you're at max throwing

neither of them meets either the space economy or the actual dps, but they're a substitute

but

this requires 20 throwing

and crafting a lot of darts

[candid temple]

Why Crystal Darts?

[soft chasm]

meant to say quill darts, i just keep thinking of the crystal ones

[candid temple]

Also the throwing shards, but those are much more expensive

[soft chasm]

yeah those are the max tier darts i was referring to

fucking frozen essence

[candid temple]

Currently planning on afking in Residence Sector with an OX Tower to farm essence

Until there's a cold snap and I can add another fucker to my collection

[soft chasm]

honestly I'd advise not jarring icy

[oak parcel]

nah, set up a teleporter, spawn timer refreshes when you exit, i had both buffs up would pop in have them spawn in under 1 minute drop it off at base head back and do it again

[soft chasm]

until you'rereally done with farming

otherwise you're locked to 1/day

which is glacial

[candid temple]

Yeah but then it's a passive farm and I can do something else

[soft chasm]

it's a passive farm that requires ice cream

i'd suggest the ox tower + afk plan

and do that [something else] outside of the game

[candid temple]

Oh, interesting

If you sit down while wearing the Mystagogue armor, you float

[dense ember]

so, is it just me or is quantum battery is just, too expensive for its own good?

like, the new formula of carbon battery is such that it's an upgrade of the industrial battery for like 3.5 times the storage, which is great

quantum battery is two carbon battery duct taped together with frozen shit

for same amount of power storage

yes it's power leech proof, but at that point, power leech ain't a problem any more

[soft chasm]

basically anything after industrial is superfluous luxury

carbons are nice for disasterproofing

[dense ember]

and if you want to save up on power cell

because you don't want to keep farming flathill

[soft chasm]

but you only really need one industrial battery to run a laser emitter -> converter to power [an arbitrary amount of equipment]

[dense ember]

yeah

I didn't know this trick in my first playthrough

that would have helped a lot

[soft chasm]

you save no power cells making carbon batteries

since they take an industrial battery to make

[dense ember]

but you get 3.5 times the storage

so you saved up on 2.5 powercell

[soft chasm]

ig if you take a break between cascade and plant, yeah

to not have access to lasers

[dense ember]

laser is only available at hydro so it does take a while

lab is such a huge place to explore

you need the brown ORB to make the laser power convertor

so you can't even make use of that leaking laser pipe in office

[soft chasm]

yeah i just do not value power cells over carbon + leyak essence + purple cpu + optic lens + antegem + liquid crystal

[dense ember]

fair

[soft chasm]

it's so many things to farm

vs just one

and you're in need of basically all of em during your initial labs tour

[candid temple]

I don't like the laser emitter option, feels scammy

Also I 100% expect it to be patched out

[dense ember]

my thought is that once you farmed flathill for 3 power cell (2 at best since the last one is a pain to get to), you can't exactly get more

until 3 days later

[oak parcel]

the last one you can get to faster with some rope plants

[candid temple]

They still take 3 days to reset

[oak parcel]

yeah

[dense ember]

rather than being locked by only one resource, you can still make use of other resources

[oak parcel]

but +50% on your farm is still nice

[dense ember]

yup

also good tip, I will need to remember that next time

rope plants solve a lot of problem

[candid temple]

Rope plants work well, if you have some means of fall negation you can jump off the roof and get to the second and third ones

[oak parcel]

yeah take 2, go up to it place one on the ledge to the right of the power cell it will drop you down to a ledge and then you place another on that and it drops you into regular play area

[woeful raptor]

labs sector is so looooonggg

[dense ember]

also, question

the laser splitter split the laser into 3 'weaker' laser

what does that means exactly

because the weak laser can power an entire grid just fine like normal laser

[candid temple]

🤷

My guess would be that a laser can only be split or redirected so many times

[soft chasm]

charges laser collectors slower

i think that's literally it lmao

[dense ember]

ah

...

you totally can just use the 'weak' laser to power something like 3 laser emitter and then use that to power the laser collector faster right?

[candid temple]

Laser collector speed does not increase with more emitters

[dense ember]

ahh

so you want more laser collector instead of more emitter

[candid temple]

I've found a much better use for my emitters instead

[dense ember]

fun

[candid temple]

(Not pictured: Hardlight Bridge)

[sick charm]

I really like the quantum picks

Honestly low key hoping for a much smaller homeworld next

[supple dome]

ok the excursion suit is really good but i hate not being able to see my outfit and it weighs too much to take around without wearing it

may just skip on it and make the material requirements for progression significantly lesser

[sick charm]

Hmm

Is it just me or does quantum pick do more damage than a hyper cross magbow

It seems to reliably one shot kill neophytes with a stealth headshot while hypercross can—oh right they are weak to sharp

[candid temple]

Magbow also does sharp

I think Quantum gets bonus damage from Sharp Melee and Throwing when you throw it, which can make it do a surprising amout of damage

[sick charm]

Yeah

Seems to do more damage than a hypercross

[candid temple]

Ah, I was mistaken, thrown sharp melee is boosted by (Base Damage + Throwing Damage Bonus ) × 2, not by Sharp Melee

So at Throwing 20 (2 damage/level), Quantum Pick does 180 damage when thrown

So yeah, QPick does more damage at Throwing 18+

[sick charm]

Only at throwing 13

hmm

don't know why quantum pick seems to be more reliably headshot killing neophytes then

[candid temple]

QPick does more damage than the Magbow at Throwing 6 (50+12)×2=124>120
It does more damage than the Hypercross at Throwing 18
(50+36)×2=172>170

Thrown Sharp Melee is not boosted by anything other than Throwing

Might be Sneak Attack? Idk

Sneak Attack seems a bit wonk with ranged weapons

Oh, because it was being talked about last night
The reason to make a quantum battery is for the Charging Pad, otherwise, there is this neat tidbit
a single Battery (Quantum) can power up to 12 devices through the night period. Batteries lose efficiency when wired in series, but because of the fractions involved, 2 Battery (Quantum) can actually power 25 devices through the night, rather than 24.

The defense against energy leeches isn't that valuable either because the Portal Suppression Field kills them

[oak parcel]

If we got it earlier I could see it being useful in converting your entire base to run on a few and the. Taking the rest of your batteries for the far side of portals but it's too late for that by the time we get it

[supple dome]

got the cold shotgun

based

i drank too much coffee once and shat myself

[supple dome]

Low-key can't believe it's over

[sick charm]

Well

Apparently the credits contain a Morse code message saying

||Please standby for additional directives from Keystone||

So maybe there’s room for dlc in the future

[oak parcel]

oh they said they were doing more content post 1.0

also

have you see the homeworld room?

there is so much room for content

[high badge]

They've explicitly said theres's post 1.0 content coming

[sick charm]

Yeah

They mentioned a furniture store world homeworld

And then there’s whatever Medusa homeworld looking thing

[brittle comet]

||i just wonder where we're going from here||

||i'm guessing that the future you see in hydroponics was not an alternate timeline but our future||

||also WHERE'S ABE :(||

[dense ember]

||I think future Hydroponic looks like that because it's completely fucked in its own pocket of space||

[candid temple]

||Future Hydroponics in the sense of the time portals or the Arch-Gate Facility?||

||Also I do wish we got a little bit more from the Arch-Gate Facility||

[sick charm]

Maybe welll visit keystone

Derek ||appears to have managed to escape cascade facility before it became sealed||

So he’s ||probably evacuated to keystone by now||

[candid temple]

For ||Fragments|| is the ||Active Shield Generator|| just the trinket item, or is there something that needs to be found in ||Botanical Garden||?

[woeful raptor]

i wish there was a sandbox setting that was like. all everythings have or drop 10x more loot

[brittle comet]

it was super cool (ha) ||to see audiologs of post disaster manse||

||i really enjoyed that||

||despite never interacting with him he is one of my favourite characters in abiotic factor||

[dense ember]

||It sure demonstrates how bad things are after reading through so many logs of Manse calming reporting things and then he's just panicking||

[unkempt lily]

Finally finished reactors

(after already doing it in EA)

god that place is brutal. ||I don't like the praetorium much either. It's not actually that hard it is just very very long||

[candid temple]

I have now realized I should have made the crystal armor way earlier. I understood that it made you sneakier, I didn't expect to be actually invisible while wearing it

Unfortunately machine gunners have xray vision

[sick charm]

It’s total complete invisibility

You can sneak past composers with it

I wear it when I’m soloing

[candid temple]

You can sneak past the entirety of Shadowgate with it

[sick charm]

Yeah

[candid temple]

My route to Praetorium is currently just wearing it and sneaking through the portal room

[sick charm]

Got a void chest on the other side to dump it out for better armor or smth?

[candid temple]

Nah I was just doing a stealth run for fun

[sick charm]

Oh yeah

Stealth armor is op against soldiers

You just one shot kill everyone with carbon pickaxe or magbow

[candid temple]

I am very sad it doesn't work on the machine guns, but tis to be expected

[sick charm]

Well that’s what rocket launchers are for I guess

[candid temple]

I suppose, if only I could rocket launcher them from outside their range

Also need to mess with what does and doesn't break invis

[supple dome]

i simply kill everything

[unkempt lily]

Residences ||hasta tria 😭||

[oak parcel]

yep

[supple dome]

yeah...

[sick charm]

Wonder if they’ll give us the Bahamas homeworld

[soft chasm]

with leyak 3

[brittle comet]

we also need the flesh dimension

because the hexwood helmet says it improves trades there but there's no flesh dimension yet

[vagrant thicket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65SP9JKnN3I

[sick charm]

abe you gotta tell us if we are in your sick simulation

[brittle comet]

that would be the real plot twist

abiotic factor was all just abe's simulation

[unkempt lily]

I have completed the game at long last

||Not only did we not escape we also ended the world. Very neat||

[unkempt lily]

Took me a solid 40 hours, though I’ll admit I did kinda speedrun some of the stuff I’d already done ||I sequence broke Manufacturing West, never went to rise, never completed voussoir, and just sprinted through the first wayfarer fight rather than actually clearing the room||

I love the volt staff so much

That thing carried me through so much of the game ||and the final boss||

[oak parcel]

its not abe's (lobby spoilers) || its wakeman's||

[sick charm]

This is Dr. Derek Manse. Today I discovered that Dr. Stern's latest software experiment was simulating the entire facility - a microcosm of Cascade, and every staff member within it, even myself, I gather. When I asked about it, he claimed to be trying to find a way to accelerate our research. I inquired about the ethical considerations and he just looked at me blankly. The man is a genius, but more dangerous to this facility than most of its subjects, I'm sure of it.... An exceptional scientist, all the same.

[clever flower]

I love how the story treats him as the Bumbler and he's pulling nonsense like this

[sick charm]

Eventually we’ll have to face cyborg peccaries

Abe also off handedly mentions he ran the simulation 400,000 times

But that the current situation never quite came up

If you can believe him

Never quite understand what his specialty is

[clever flower]

Whimsy

[sick charm]

Apparently molecular physics but he’s off inventing like cyborgs

And doing simulation experiments

[oak parcel]

i sit corrected, i thought that recording said wakeman

i must have been projecting with how much i hate wakeman

[sick charm]

Dr Waksman is also doing some random bullshit all the time too

Like dropping a reservoir growth into the lake

[oak parcel]

an kylie

[sick charm]

Or ripping out the brain of someone on death’s door to make sentient robots

Or making sentient water bot for no reason

That man is pretty laser focused on doing sentient robotics though

Unlike Abe who seems to do whatever catches his fancy at the moment

[clever flower]

Without Abe I wouldn't have nearly enough capacitors, he's a good man

[woeful raptor]

abe eating all the capacitors in labs to make pests

[oak parcel]

i cant decide if i hate wakeman or a&j more

[unkempt lily]

Torturing a mouse for some reason

[sick charm]

But yeah

Gate science team are

Hmm

Least bad of the bad options

But they are still engaging in extremely morally ambiguous behaviors

Like stealing a village’s religious artifact (even if the religion is run by a charlatan)

Wiping out an entire parallel dimension earth accidentally

Also isn’t it really funny for manse to have recorded that he doesn’t believe in the existence of yeti and the Loch Ness monster

When his organization got a yeti in captivity

And also has a dark water beast swimming around in the lake in vision from where the holorexording is

[brittle comet]

he's a bumbling idiot

but he's also a genius

street dumb book smart

[brittle comet]

i mean the religion is also the evil bastards who caused this entire disaster

and ||ended the world by taking over the security system leading us to reset it and let out the thing that pretended to be cahn|| (spoilers for the ending)

[sick charm]

Still theft of religious artifact

Besides they aren’t directly affiliated with the order I think

Their priest is a charlatan who stole the book of faith from an inquisitor

[candid temple]

Niketas murdered an Order soldier who was carrying the Lodestone and took it back so he could found a religion

[sick charm]

And ised it as a basis to found his cult

[candid temple]

Stealing religious artifacts from cults is ok

[sick charm]

Notably if they were really affiliated with the order

Their priests wouldn’t be using those magical fireballs

That would be witch craft

Which is a bad no no

[candid temple]

The Order has Flame Rats, so dubious if they'd be that concerned

[sick charm]

Well isn’t that tech based

I suppose technically all magic is tech

[candid temple]

As tech based as the Mystagogue fire

Also the holy fire used by the lodites looks like it might be a holy fire grenade of some kind

I'm a little sad we don't get that

But there are like 3 kinds of fire, so I'm ok with it

[supple dome]

i love ||causing the actual genuine apocalypse||

also ||Cahn is the G-Man of Abiotic except he's got an evil agenda not a potentially benign one||

[soft chasm]

he didn't believe in the yeti

and then it showed up

and he goes "ugh, if this is real i can only imagine the other stupid bullshit that might be"

[sick charm]

next a darkwater beat will be discovered in loch ness

isn't there also an actual sentient evil snowman

[woeful raptor]

yes

[clever flower]

for some reason "The Tub.. of Blood" has gotten stuck in my brain forever

that and The Hole That You Shouldn't Stand Near ( This Room Has No Door )

[oak parcel]

is the second one the presence? or the wood thing?

[woeful raptor]

the rumblies

i think

[clever flower]

the presence/strange pipe that makes ominous sounds, ye

[sick charm]

how about the yellow paint anomaly

[clever flower]

brave, compassionate

[woeful raptor]

my yummu paint

[oak parcel]

this one ?

[clever flower]

ye

[oak parcel]

yeah i love that one

just one day a supply closet gets weird

[clever flower]

'we put up a bunch of signs, it's probably fine'

[unkempt lily]

I love the yellow paint

such a funny bit

[clever flower]

I love that they're not all just Freaky Creature, it makes the ones what are Freaky Creatures stand out

it meshes all the loony sci-fi so well

[supple dome]

watching a video about Abiotic Factors lore and this shit is so fucking cool

still not over the fact that (ABF Ending spoilers)||we actually just ended the fucking world at the end of the game||

[sick charm]

We should’ve ended multiple

[supple dome]

next time we'll try doing things with malicious intent

the results should be magnified by some order

[sick charm]

yeah let's develop a new strain of the zombie virus that infects exors

lets let the reaper eat canaan

[soft chasm]

okay but that would probably be a good thing

[sick charm]

lets invent a new cyborg pest that will overtake anteverse 2

turn it from a realm of disgusting fungoids into a realm of perfect machine

kill and slay the unpronounceable and replae it on the throne

[soft chasm]

sorry, we're not in the same universe as Throne

[sick charm]

also we should be allowed to cook and eat the yeti

[supple dome]

(ABF Ending spoilers)||Wait, Thule can show up in your base!?!?!?||

OH, ||he's a trader!||

lmao you ||trade him coffee's||

[sick charm]

Wait what

Really?

Never seen him around before

[supple dome]

yeah

when you /ABF ending spoilers)||beat the game, he becomes available apparently||

[sick charm]

Ahh

[supple dome]

upgrading all the armor sets i can make for a lack of anything better to do

i miss ||Kylie||

[sick charm]

I’m building teleporter hub to all the key locations

[supple dome]

sounds like a smart plan

i'll do that at some point as well

i have almost a month of time left on the server anyway

[oak parcel]

Smol request: can we tag our spoilers here with the sector they are for some groups are still dealing with scheduling issues and haven't beat 1.0 yet

[supple dome]

yeah

[soft chasm]

this is glorpshit

||we deserve to be able to murder him||

[soft chasm]

||i just want to peel him||

[supple dome]

Real

Tbf that's (ending spoilers)||not IS-0012's real body||

[dense ember]

||Would be real funny if the fucking bell is its real body all along||

[sick charm]

What happens if we throw the bell into the lava

[supple dome]

would be kinda funny ngl

[sick charm]

i have the bell on my dining table rn

[candid temple]

Is it just me or did grenades used to explode on contact and now...don't?

[supple dome]

the ||Krasue|| is cramping my style hard rn with not ||appearing and dropping its damnable essence||

really miss Kylie right about now

[supple dome]

we're doing a save of the multiplayer world i was on it seems so that's going to be really fucking nice

whenever more content is added we'll be able to just jump back in

[supple dome]

getting trolled by the ||Krasue|| rn ngl

ok got my things now i can go work on the other armor

[sick charm]

Can’t you just trap him somewhere to get a reliable supply

[soft chasm]

her

[supple dome]

going to make one more skeleton for the Legate armor than i'm done actively farming them

missing only one piece of the Medic armor technically but i can't be bothered to go around killing medics to get it

or i can just

get the parts i need anyway

sure

[candid temple]

I had this issue when trying to farm her too. I swear that she does appear more often than ||Leyak|| if you have the ||Greyeb|| buff, but her pathfinding is broken

I was set up in the antechamber between the soccer field and lobby, saw her around the top of the stairs, and then waited several minutes without her coming down towards me

I think she doesn't understand stairs

[supple dome]

huh

weird

currently trying to get the breacher helmet

yippeee it dropped

Very nice

not all armors but it is quite a few

[oak parcel]

Here's my method: (residences spoilers) ||get a greyeb and greyeb chowder take a portal into residences (mine was set up in the kylie room with the exit back in offices) wait for Krause to show up should be somewhere between immediate and 1 minute, take the portal back out of residences and deposit the essence go back in to residences, keep your buffs up||

[supple dome]

ah nice, ty

[oak parcel]

Ymmv and I found it was more reliable if I was the only one in reaidences

[supple dome]

👍

[oak parcel]

and like tobi said the pathfinding is a bit scuffed so it can help to look around for them rather than waiting for them to come to you

[supple dome]

need to get the motion suit then i've completed my armor collection

[candid temple]

They should buff the Leyak so it doesn't need to pathfind, can just phase through walls /s

[woeful raptor]

my one gripe with abiotic factor is that crafting material creep is so prevalent

some of it is mitigated by the autosort distributor and whatnot but hooooooh

takes up a lot of space to have space

[soft chasm]

my issues are that and the horrific weapon balance

otherwise, very very good game

[woeful raptor]

yeah--i really dont know what im supposed to use the extremely slow weapons for?

"oh stealth takedowns" when i can just shoot them with my ultrazord obliterator?

can you believe there was only one trinket slot at one point

nightmare world

[unkempt lily]

I went out of my way not to use the deatomizer on my 1.0 playthrough

Highly reccomend honestly, as much as playing suboptimally doesn’t fix the game, it was more fun

[woeful raptor]

i can imagine

honestly

with how shitty enemy drops are

im thinking about just turning enemy hp all the way down

and enemy spawns allllll the way up

[unkempt lily]

The only drop I was really bothered by was gate defense runes

And arcane scrap a bit but that solved itself once I started scrapping censers

But jesus you kinda need a number of defense runes and they are quite rare

[soft chasm]

they really aren't ime

my group's 1.0 run ended with like a 40 stack

since they're a 10% drop from jotun and corrupted bots

it's the corrupted CPUs for compact crates that was annoying

needed like a million

so the farm was slow

[unkempt lily]

I guess I didn’t honestly farm that much

I beat the game with medium crates and makeshift batteries

But I was playing solo

Basically the only times I really stopped to farm was once for plutonic carapace and for ||motion modules + kylie shield||

Oh and a lot of killing bots for metal to make scrapshot ammo

[sick charm]

I killed bots for metals to make rocket launchers

[unkempt lily]

I did in fact skip rocket launchers

and also any armour past the exor stuff

save ||kylie shield, flamethrower, and the power armour|| everything before that point was plenty to muster me through

[brittle comet]

i never used the rocket launcher a single time i think

[soft chasm]

it's a very fun weapon to whip out once every few hours

[supple dome]

Carbon Pickaxe+running attack=instakill

you can just chain running attacks cause they make you jump back also

easily made the Carbon Pickaxe the best weapon i used for killing non-big enemies by far

[woeful raptor]

huh

neat

[supple dome]

for single target it outstripped anything else by far

laser katana was better for groups purely for convenience but Carbon Pickaxe was the best for killing

[sick charm]

I am using the upgraded forge set against gatekeepers

It’s proven pretty effective thus far

Bullet resistance is pretty good

[oak parcel]

i do feel the carbon+sprint thing is less egregious than the deatomizer though

as not only is it kind of (ingame) skill gated, it does take some out of game skill to reliably pull off outside of a stealth opener, and you have to get in melee to the target

shotgun remains my favorite weapon

[sick charm]

Which shotgun

[oak parcel]

the special one

i still cant figure out what the night magnum does

[sick charm]

The acid shotgun seems highly effective against gatekeepers

[oak parcel]

the gambling one

[soft chasm]

the romag makes me so sad

with its fixed reload animation

please

[oak parcel]

[soft chasm]

give us partial reload

[oak parcel]

i literaly refused to use it because of that

the antique and revolver i can get not having partial reload esp. as our character is canonically not skilled enough to do round retention and the level 20 reloads would make it not beneficial to do so anyway

but the romag

it hurts

[soft chasm]

it magnums

[sick charm]

Also the artifact weapons seem hardly worth it

[soft chasm]

that's about it

[oak parcel]

no like i know it does something

[sick charm]

Plasma gun does more damage per bullet anyways

[oak parcel]

when i have it occasionally enemys have night sigils infront of them

[soft chasm]

as far as i know that's exclusively visual

[sick charm]

The deagle is better but not by much

Compared to night magnum

[soft chasm]

unfortunately yes, they have just.

literally the pre-1.0 milspec guns problem

in that they require a coveted item slot to use Kind Of Mid Weapons

[sick charm]

They are all missing that special sauce that really makes them worth crafting biofusion

[soft chasm]

that eat ammo

[oak parcel]

the polished shotgun has extreme meme value

[sick charm]

I use it to hunt tarasque

[oak parcel]

oh wait the other category of artifact weapons

[sick charm]

The last one somehow survived the nuke

[soft chasm]

yeah dunno why people call the geek guns artifact weapons

but it's a thing some people do

maybe just here

[sick charm]

Artifact weapons are specifically the t3 security locked guns

[oak parcel]

ok so the antique shotgun is like arguably an artifact weapon

[sick charm]

Well it’s literally an artifact that is a weapon

[soft chasm]

oh huh

the deagle is bugged

[sick charm]

Also I strongly feel artifact weapons should give you arcane scrap when scrapped

[soft chasm]

the reason it doesn't give accuracy xp

is because it deals untyped damage

[sick charm]

Huh

Pure damage?

[soft chasm]

and so ignores bullet resistances

[sick charm]

Ooh

That does sound interesting

[soft chasm]

and can break corpses

[oak parcel]

yeah i've heard the hardlight saber has that bug too atm

[sick charm]

Hardlight sabers seems to do plasma damage

It can’t kill plasma immune enemies from what I can tell

[oak parcel]

its supposed to but i heard the last hotfix bugged it

[sick charm]

Like crystalisks

[oak parcel]

havent confirmed myself

[sick charm]

I want a hardlight gun now

[oak parcel]

we dont need a deatomizer 2.0

on the one hand i still want a lever action science weapon on the other hand romag reload

[soft chasm]

we need to buff the bad guns

not add a new turbofucked supergun to share the deatomizer/hardlight saber/quantum pick spotlight

[sick charm]

honestly I do think the upgrade guns should be buffed

[soft chasm]

i would love an alt scrapshot tree

[sick charm]

they seem hardly worth the effort except for the hypercross

[soft chasm]

that makes it a lever action weapon

[oak parcel]

though tbh i wouldn't mind if they made a deatomizer 2 for residences gave it the deatomizer's stats and then changed what the deatomizer did

[soft chasm]

and then, y'know

another upgrade for the shredshot

[sick charm]

i want an upgrade for the electrothrower

[soft chasm]

flamethrower

[sick charm]

to make iit actually viable

[soft chasm]

but yeah

[oak parcel]

so

[soft chasm]

neither thrower is a functional gun

i also want a lodebow upgrade

[oak parcel]

the electro thrower got the treatment the deatomizer needs

it used to be stupid broken

[sick charm]

to be fair flamethrower is probably more of an area unlocking tool than meant to be an actual weapon somehow

[soft chasm]

and another talagi upgrade

and a wood axe upgrade

[sick charm]

give me a pitchfork upgrade

heck the

lodestone crossbow

is still needing a pretty big upgrade

like

does anyone actually use it

by the time you get it it's already outclassed by the grinder

which has more rounds in magazine and can shoot straight and actually has an upgrade path

[soft chasm]

i did until reactors came out

[unkempt lily]

I found the flamethrower useful

But also honestly I think I missed half the weapons in the game

I didn’t want to grind for ammo so I just used the highest-endurance weapons I could find (volt staff+laser pistol) and called it good enough

The flamethrower was pretty solid for killing jotuns

[sick charm]

guess that makes sense

it is a holy weapon

[candid temple]

Hardlight has a unique damage type

Which is both Plasma and Laser

I don't know how that interacts with weakness/resistance

Because I'm pretty sure it can hurt Mystagogues and they're immune to plasma

[supple dome]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/427410/view/543367091067028524

[sick charm]

hmmmmmm

do wonder when they'll release the post release update plans

[sick charm]

Does the existence of intermediate repair kits

Imply future existence of advanced repair kit

[dense ember]

assuming we get even bigger gun

jesus christ why

someone made a worse leyak on nexus mod

[woeful raptor]

scp 173 style im guessing?

[dense ember]

Yes

[woeful raptor]

ah

[sick charm]

like it's super fast?

[candid temple]

Only mod I can see like is an HD Texture

[supple dome]

wow

holy shit

that is fucking horrendous to look at

[sick charm]

https://www.nexusmods.com/abioticfactor/mods/54?tab=description

This is awful you are right

[sick charm]

I feel like albatross should have new fish

It’s a real world ocean for heavens sake

Shouldn’t it have some saltwater fish

[dense ember]

yes, more fish would be nice

food could really use a overhaul in general, soup is just too good

[brittle comet]

i love only getting the fucking convection oven by the time i'm in reactors

[candid temple]

Nuclear powered oven

[sick charm]

The laser sword should really cook the meat as you butcher it

[candid temple]

Wayseeker has Factored its last Abiotic

Broke the ||boss|| the first time around, do not use [REDACTION] Grenades

[sick charm]

wonder when they'll release the post release roadmap

month? few months?

[candid temple]

I assume most of them are taking a well earned vacation currently

So maybe by end of October?

I hope the next update they'll work on is ||Abe's Bizarre Adventure||

[supple dome]

same

i did end up checking and ||the submarine is gone||

[brittle comet]

||i guess you could call it abe's oddysee||

[sick charm]

20,000 leagues under the lake

I think most likely we will never see him again

[supple dome]

he is going to the ||Bahamas|| for sure

[sick charm]

He does mention that the submarine has a quantum tunneling component

Maybe he just used ||it to teleport out of here||

I wonder if the sequel game they mentioned will take place in the ARCH defense facility

[candid temple]

I wonder if Arch Defense is ||the current future|| or ||a possible future if we didn't help Cahn||

Also, had a thought that since ||Cahn can 100% teleport||, was he really contained or just waiting for rubes like us?

[sick charm]

Must be current future

Since ||the reason why ARCH defense facility lets you, an anomalous entity, go is that they don’t want to risk a temporal paradox||

[supple dome]

100% waiting

it's not even a question

if you ||don't let him out of his containment unit, because that is 100% an option you can pick, he just teleports out anyway||

||He knew exactly where he wanted to be and who he wanted to meet||

[candid temple]

How would you avoid letting him out?

[sick charm]

I’m not sure if he can escape on his own

||but he did exert enough of an influence outside of his cell to send emails to instruct HOP to send you to the cafeteria||

The fact that|| he describes what he did as being difficult does imply gatekeepers were reasonably effective in keeping him contained ||

I do wonder about Dr Carson though

Is she a human being

Because she’s unbelievably awkward

[candid temple]

She might just be from the Midwest

[sick charm]

or she could be a creature from the night dimension

[supple dome]

||just don't open the door, you can in fact just leave it locked when you find him in Containment, there's nothing important in his cell that you need so you can just leave when you find him and he asks you to let him out||

[sick charm]

The door ||automatically unlocks when you disable security systems which I believe you need to progress||

[supple dome]

||oh, well he still asks you to open it to let him out, and he clearly doesn't need to be let out since he can teleport anyway. I see it as a symbolic thing regardless||

||i truly do not believe he was really contained at all, he was where he wanted to be, just like the Sister of the Unlost says, game was rigged from the start||

||You could never have done anything but help him end the world, except allow yourself to stay trapped in the facility, which is the one thing you could never do||

||Even if you do consider Cahn truly unable to escape that cell, i still don't consider him to be truly contained because we always help him escape, as the Sister of the Unlost helpfully reminds us, it might as well be fate||

[supple dome]

I suppose the correct answer to this is just ||don't try to escape, heed the warnings given to you and cease, however we all know you won't||

[supple dome]

finally

[sick charm]

I have safely contained krasusie in aquarium

[supple dome]

Nice

I genuinely couldn't be bothered getting the materials to contain it so it'll roam free

[sick charm]

Hmm

Wonder if there will be a Halloween update mark 2

[woeful raptor]

alright

what do i do in canaan

just hang out?

shoot the shit?

i could build a circle k here

OH

you can actually kill the trees

i just shotgunned one

[sick charm]

Kill the trees

Sneak into the village

There’s a way through the forests

Or

You can just do what I did

And jump pad across the walls

You’ll need two

[woeful raptor]

ahh

ive just been like

shotgunning everything that moves

im kinda lost in the village

[sick charm]

You gotta get to the mines

And then assassins creed leap of faith towards the water mills

[woeful raptor]

i see

ill look for that

[dense ember]

Think some wooden panel would do well there

I should honestly make use of platforming more

[sick charm]

I think I placed some jump pads there

which should enable you to cross with a jump pack

[brittle comet]

this was at the end of the survey deep field put out

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMH0oR8Lc48IDx2Uj6DVPUfp_jUMTDfJjISkcKYfc9Tzwv9g/viewform

[sick charm]

This looks like it’s gotta be related to the Medusa homeworld

Or the dimension gravity cube came from

[woeful raptor]

I'm personally excited for an Abiotic Factor spinoff relating to an intense management sim prequel as well as a sequel that's more focused on card battling deck builders :D

Though to be honest I'm not sure what exactly I'd want from Deep Field's next releases, but I'll be happy if they double down on more ABF

[sick charm]

Honestly site management sim based on abio sounds amazing

[oak parcel]

Evil genius but it's abiotic

[woeful raptor]

if they went that route I'd really want them to focus on the nugget side of things like the cube breaking containment every once and a while because people want to skip around with it or trying to manage the table that induces hate

[oak parcel]

Yes

And the gatekeepers being weird for the most mundane of things

[woeful raptor]

yesss

scp facility sim except the challenge is the interpersonal relationships

[sick charm]

Yeah

Gatekeepers being bizarre for no reason

Scientists screwing off with supposedly safe ISes in the name of science

[oak parcel]

wakeman being wakeman

[sick charm]

Dr Waksman — lmao

Beat me to it

[oak parcel]

i think the hardest part would be not killing him off as fast as humanly possible

[sick charm]

He seems to have gotten special treatment from management too

He has the best bed of the non-senior management personnel in residential

[oak parcel]

he gets results
