That's what compensators are meant to do. What's the problem?

« on: March 31, 2015, 09:37:49 am »1. Thick Skull feat does not work properly(no effect against T-Punch)
2. When Dissasembling some items you get 1 quality materials (reinforced rathound leather gloves -> tung steel 1 quality)
3. Termodynamic Destabilization bugged? No effect after death("boom" sound! but no damage to nearby enemies)
4. Laser sight(LS) for pistols does not work properly in the new version(No +% precision mod in the description and no + to hit bonus)
5. In some places there are no visual effect of toxic barrels(in "under-passages" for example)(bug or not?)
6. Free Drones quest "Visit Junkyard hideout" seems to be bugged. No journal entry and door in Junkyard is closed. (but Trenton gave me this assignment)
1-4 fixed for the next hot fix.
5. Depends what you mean by "visual effect" not all toxic barrels release gas.
6. Are you using an old save (created before 0.1.13.0 version)?
Crafting a rapid reload smallest ammo hornet incorrectly displays 10 AP cost, whereas the resulting crafted weapon correctly shows 9.
We're talking 7.62 caliber, right? It works fine for me. Can you reproduce this? If so can you upload your exported character or save game for me to check out.

Super steel quality ranges from 70 to 160. You just got unlucky and that's part of the game.

What do you mean? There's no new/old blueprints. They are the same regardless of when you studied them.

Yeah, some limits on weapon/unarmed AP costs and max AP/MP will have to be imposed to keep this in check.

I think you're a bit overestimating the importance of Neurology. It's far from being mandatory. Sure, it's nice to start a battle with some extra PSI, but after a turn or two, this advantage is gone as this feat does not modify your PSI regeneration.

General / Re: Let's talk about new PSI System!
« on: March 27, 2015, 10:26:48 pm »
The general idea is that CC abilities would cost little to medium AP and a lot of PSI, while the primary attacking abilities would cost little PSI (making them spammable) and would have their AP cost balanced by damage-per-turn output. Now, I know that there are abilities that have multiple purposes, number of targets, targeting mechanics, secondary effects, etc, so it's not as clean cut as this, but this is the general guiding principle.
Regarding T-Punch, I personally have tested the new psi early game using a Psychokinetic-Melee build and I feel that the costs are about right. When specced right, T-Punch acts as a powerful nuke as well as CC so I think that cost is justified.

« on: March 27, 2015, 05:56:53 pm »Sorry, but sprayer dispenser is not, and will not, be implemented. You jumped the gun with your data mining.
Again? I actually found one in the previous version like I did with shield rechargers. Mind Darts and their blueprint are the only items I've acquired via data mining.
That said, sprayers did seem like a really neat idea and on the technical side you already have cone attack in burst and I imagine animation could be handled like pyrokinetic stream. Mind telling us why it won't be implemented?
Well, I don't want to get too much into details. The main problem is that in order for it to function like a weapon it would have hit chance (unlike psionics and such) which would directly conflict with the visual presentation. That is, it would count as a miss even though it's obviously hitting visually. Then the flight of the acid itself might get very iffy without extensive tweaking of the mechanics that I am not prepared to invest right, etc.
I am open to revisiting this concept in the future, but if I'm to tackle cone attack weapons, I'd probably go for regular shotguns first as they don't have to deal with much of these problems.

« on: March 27, 2015, 04:29:03 pm »Good news:
There's already two types of flamethrowers in the latest version! (incendiary blob/sprayer pistols - craftable with chemistry)
The wiki should be helpful with crafting details, check the blueprint and item pages.
And you can make electroshock knives, just like sledges.

I use the large opt for the dialog stuff that is in the options, But all the other fonts are soooo small to read. Any way to make those bigger? thank you
You can set all text to be larger. It's in the options right next to dialog font option.

Bugs / Re: Bugs in Camp Hector (0.1.14.0)
« on: March 27, 2015, 09:15:05 am »No screenshots for now, I'll get back to the camp this evening. Anyway, the glitches started with the 3 guys working with knives: their sprites went on and off when they performed the attack animation. Then a few walls started to desappeare.
Anyway, it was all caused by the glitches: the door was indeed blocked, by an invisible guard.
I tried to change map and get back. At the first try the game failed to load the map. At the second try it failed to load the save. I shut the game and restarted it. At this point everything went fine, I managed to talk to the guard who opened the door.
There's currently a bug where a game can run out of memory and start behaving badly. Restarting it should do the trick for now.

Dev Log #38: Version 0.1.14.0 released
Hey guys, the last Early Access/alpha version is here. It's available on Steam now and, as before, it will be available on other platforms as soon as we stabilize it. We are proud to present to you the Institute of Tchort in all its glory, the final urban area of the game. If you want to know more about what's left on our development roadmap, check out the previous dev log.
Speaking of changes, we made quite a bit of them, some of which are quite significant for certain play-styles, so we're looking forward to hearing the feedback on those. Of course, we also added lots of new stuff in terms of items and feats. Anyway here's the list (partial list, the other half is in the previous dev log):
