Hey guys, just a little question, where did the name Tchort come from? I am not talking about the lore of the game, im talking in real life, where does the name is inspired from?

If you've read Baxter's Ultima, I think something like the inter-dimensional space fungi that live in the interior of planets and have hive mind send a detachment in a meteor to colonize Earth. Those fellas caused Earth's Orbit to destabilize on impact and that produced severe weather changes, which resulted in agricultural disaster where plants were absorbing too much CO2 from the atmosphere and less and less minerals/vitamins from the soil because of slowed osmosis. In some regions the soil was rapidly ensalted because of the changed terrain and became downright inhospitable. Pockets of humans survived mostly because of forced adaptations of GMOs and a project was started to move the rest of the humans underground.

In the mean time the fungi were absorbing organic matter(it needs to be said that because of the chemisry of the Universe organic--that is carbon-based, life is statistically MOST likely) in order to increase their size and capacity, but in doing so they inadvertantly absorbed something else from the humans--self concious egoism. They became Tchort.

That's about the size of it.

Oh.. damn
Thanks !
Really appreciated

Some of us are, indeed, fans of Lovecraft and we do draw inspiration from his stories and use his language, so to speak, when brainstorming or further developing ideas and concepts for the game.

Nice !

The Expedition has some to do with those stories and concepts ?

I guess the Tchortists have a vaguely Lovecraftian-cult vibe to them, but only to a point. They're actually relatively approachable and willing to talk about Tchortism, where most cults to Lovecraft's Elder Gods are pretty insular.

Tchort itself is not much of a cosmic horror/eldritch god. Even though some parts have extraterrestrial origin (psionics, possible assimilated Godman DNA) you pretty much learn what Tchort is (whereas eldritch horrors are shrouded in mystery essentially by definition), and once you encounter the being itself, it's actually quite vulnerable (in contrast, it would be effectively impossible for a human to "defeat" an Elder God, and never in a million years would you be able to harm one with conventional weapons).

The cube is slightly closer, by merit of its unfathomability and mysterious origin, but I'd place it closer to Roadside Picnic (Strugatskys) than Lovecraft, as it's not presented, in and of itself, as something terrifying/fundamentally wrong.

you got the idea

Suggestions / Dual Wielding

Imagine having 2 pistols, 2 smgs, 2 knifes, 2 shotguns, 2 machetes ( with The Expedition).
This type of playstile comes with new builds, new feats, new strategies.

We could make an desperado cowboy wielding 2 pistols, an S.W.A.T Enforcer blasting foes with dual smgs or just an agile murder with 2 knifes slashing foes left and right, and with new feats such as:

Rush: While Sprinting and using dual Smgs, Burst damage and duration is increased, but precision is much lower.

Slash-o-maniac: Wielding two knifes, action points is reduced if standing in front of an enemy.

Sit Down: Using dual shotguns, if surrounded by at least 3 enimies precision reduced but the damage is double.

Something like that, i aint a professional in feats, im sure it could be more and a lot more balenced.

I think the game has a lot of inspiration in H.P Lovecraft with the Institute of Tchort (wich looks like an cult), the mistery of the cube, the horrors in mutation that created the faceless, the caves within underrail where horrible creatures hide, deep caverns in general with the constant felling of dread, the creatures that Tchort creates inside your mind just by being close, and of course Tchort, wich is literally an eye with tentacles.

Dunno, just an idea

Builds / Re: Unarmed Build

i do know, i made one build using the claw, force emission, taste for blood, that sort of thing, but i think it this build isnt enough for dominating becouse the claw isnt to good with turrets and metal armor

what do you think ?

I think any psi punching build without Expose Weakness probably has a lot of trouble, but turrets and metal armor will fall to a flurry of punches once they've had their mechanical resist dropped.  If you're willing to play a slightly squishy psi puncher, I might try a build like I used - which did fine but probably isn't perfectly optimized - as a base for your own build: http://underrail.info.tm/build/?GQMMCgMDCQYAHgDChwAAUGUnADzChcKFLV1gAMKHAAAAACtPJCcUIBYwKgcSBjwNRw

That's 6AP attacks with pneumatic gloves while you're carrying the Eel Sandwich buff and wearing tabis, which means the value of Blitz there is that you go from 11 attacks in an Adrenaline round to 15, picking up Combo hits on 12 and 15. With the combo+pneumatic strike on 12, you can see crits upward of 3000 raw damage, which hurts enemies even with decent resists.  I'm not confident it can do Dominating Ironman, but I am confident it can handle Dominating with the occasional reload due to death or poor planning.

Will try, thanks dude !
