Suggestions / Gear display for item comparsion

« on: February 03, 2022, 07:30:35 pm »

This is a feature from various games like Titan quest.

When you are looking at an equip-able item in inventory the corresponding equipped item(s) would be display as well for easier item comparison (some games would even highlight the differences but that's probably beyond Underrail without a major code overhaul).

Bugs / Bullet Time can't be activated when immobilize/riding jetski

« on: August 07, 2021, 05:45:15 pm »

As title - first notice this while under Acidic Entanglements, same thing later while riding jetski. Just wondering if this is a bug or intended. If this is intended, why? Seems to penalized this feat under very specific conditions for no reason?

General / Question re:Locus of Control

« on: December 25, 2020, 10:05:40 pm »

Lot of questions from me today, guess I'm being a problem child on Christmas ...

Anyway, Locus of Control description states: gain immunity to ... mind control for 3 turns. Does this means you are immune to all Thought Control abilities including Neural Overload and Bilocation?

General / enemies damage resistances ranking

« on: December 25, 2020, 07:09:23 am »

So we have the following types of damage resistances: Mechanical, Cold, Electricity, Acid, Energy and Bio.

Based on my own experience I would say enemies' resistances, starting from the least commonly resist to most commonly resist are:

Energy
Electricity
Acid
Cold
Bio
Heat
Mechanical

Would you agree or disagree with this ranking? Doing a write up right now for my FAQ so I'm very interested in hearing your comments and thoughts.

General / Question regarding the Noise system

« on: December 25, 2020, 03:33:13 am »

I'm just wondering if the noise article on the wiki is complete/up to date:
https://stygiansoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=Noise

Specifically - "shoot Electrobolt" = 15, "other - electroshock" = 3, so does this mean the shooter will emit 15 noise center at him/her and the point of impact (if hit) will generate 3 noise?
Taser/Nail bomb/chemhaze grenade/vanishing powder grenade = completely silent at 0 noise?
It also seems to be missing traps trigger from the list - ex: EMP mine noise level when triggered = noise?
The game also play a noise when activating a cloaking device/shield. Is this just for flavor or would there be some low level noise?

Under "other - backup yell" = 20, so this is the NPC hollering for help? How far would 20 noise translate in an open map with no wall? a radius of 10 tiles? 20 tiles?

Would Force Field act as a wall to completely block npc's hollering for help?

Lastly, at 100 noise level does this means TNT explosion will alert the entire map regardless of walls and other obstacles?

Other Games / Epic games giving out free copies of Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny

« on: December 11, 2020, 01:37:26 am »

Just FYI, epic games is now giving away Pillars of Eternity: Definitive Edition & Tyranny - Gold Edition by Obsidian Entertainment.

https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/free-games

Fallout 1 & 2 were developed by Black Isle. Obsidian Entertainment was found shortly before the closure of Black Isle Studios, by ex-Black Isle employees Feargus Urquhart, Chris Avellone, Chris Parker, Darren Monahan, and Chris Jones. Obsidian also released Fallout New Vegas. Although POE and Tyranny are very different from Underrail I think some of you would probably be interested in getting them for free.

Suggestions / Drag 'n' Drop

« on: August 31, 2020, 06:25:31 pm »

Drag 'n' Drop food vendor should sell all new food/drink items instead of a randomly rotating (?) limited selection and in larger quantity.

Since it's also randomly located I think it should appear on your map once you discovered it.

As a side note: is All-in a pickpocket exclusive? It never seems to be for sale at Drag 'n' Drop. Sleight of the Night also seems to be available only by *secret* and pickpocketing?

General / New Waterway persuasion check *spoilers*

« on: August 23, 2020, 10:51:47 pm »

Did anyone manage to pass the persuasion check for Kaya in the new waterway map to mend relation with her brother? I have 142 effective persuasion and still failed. I also tried talking to Ion first but I don't see any extra option to help convince Kaya. Is this check just for flavor or is it possible to pass it?

Suggestions / HE mine needs a buff

« on: August 21, 2020, 09:49:11 pm »

Been testing various traps against Naga Protectors and EMP MKIII traps consistently out damage HE mine MKIV, so I think HE mine needs a buff.

I think HE grenades should be buff too as the Ignores 40% of damage resistance and threshold part is just not enough compare to their Frag and plasma equivalent. The HE grenades and mines just seems to under-perform in almost all situations compare to their alternatives.

Suggestions / Pickled Mindshrooms and Psi Beetle Brain Soup

« on: August 13, 2020, 03:25:43 am »

Playing the experimental patch.

I notice once I passed mid game no food vendor sell Pickled Mindshrooms and Psi Beetle Brain Soup. I know this is not bad RNG because I've been doing merchant runs and even used speed hack and can confirm they are no longer for sale.

My char is currently holding 4 Pickled Mindshrooms and 7 Psi Beetle Brain Soup, been hoarding them like I do with potions on Skyrim -_-.

I'm guessing it's either:
1) a trigger for npc to stop selling them after a certain point, or
2) a global limit and how many of them are for sale

Please correct me if I'm wrong in my assumptions. However if this is intended behavior I'm guessing you don't want player to circumvent the increased psi cost by using high level gears + Psi Beetle Brain Soup. I'm fine with that but I don't think Pickled Mindshrooms should get this same treatment as it only increase the psi critical damage bonus. Psychosis already got hit hard as it is and I don't think this is justified.

Suggestions / Item description updates

« on: August 12, 2020, 07:01:24 pm »

The following armor and item descriptions need some changes:

Death's Grin
Equip: Critical chance increased by 2%

to:
Equip: Critical chance increases by 2% for weapons and unarmed attacks


Infused Rathound Leather Armor
to:
Critical chance increased by x% for weapons and unarmed attacks


Core Chips
to:
Use: When consumed increases weapon and unarmed critical hit chance by 2%.


Hardcore Chips
to:
Use: When consumed increases weapon and unarmed critical hit chance by 5%,


As a side note - it would be great if you can update all the character graphic models for all the base game infused leather armors too. The inventory icon for infused Rathound/cave hopper leather armor should stay the same as their respective default icon regardless of fabric used to make them stand out in your inventory.

Bugs / Drag 'n' Drop hostile?

« on: August 05, 2020, 07:07:15 pm »

I didn't fight/trap the usual hostility triggers but I did pickpocket everyone without being detected and looked inside the coat hanger/container without taking anything. Drag 'n' Drop at the time did not turn hostile.

When I visit Drag 'n' Drop at a later time every npc is hostile - wondering if this is intentional or not.

Bugs / bugs in experimental branch

« on: July 29, 2020, 10:24:53 pm »

The component headlamp will stack with each other. The lower quality will turn the higher quality one into the same lower quality.

Otto outside Ray will offer a hunting quest northwest from Core City. I arrived riding a Devastator and:
1) When you tell Otto to "let's go" - he'll enter the cave but you have no way to enter.
2) If you are sitting right where the entrance is suppose to be and tell him to go ahead - you'll block Otto so he can't enter AND you are now blocked by Otto and can't go anywhere short of killing him.

BArm Grinder 350 - the power is set at 250 and consumption at 140%. I think you mistakenly set power at 250 when it should have been 350

Suggestions / CustomPortraits gender filter

« on: July 28, 2020, 02:10:53 am »

I think custom portraits should be separated into two folders for male and female. The game should auto filter out the appropriate pics when you select a gender.

Bugs / Enraged Faceless Doctor behavior

« on: July 19, 2020, 12:33:56 am »

From https://steamcommunity.com/app/250520/discussions/0/4078523564597969010/#c4078523564600082743

Also, I found it amusing that even when you enrage the entire group of Faceless including the Doctor, he'll still apply adrenaline shots to other Faceless he's supposed to be berserk-killing lol. That guy is completely focused on his job, it seems.
