Development Log / Re: Dev Log #10: Lockpicking and Hacking
« Last post by Styg on October 28, 2025, 11:46:54 am »
These not coding in the hacking videos / screenshots I've shown. It's just running some command shell programs with specific parameters. It's not really that complicated once you learn the parameters. Of course, you'd also have to know how to use the command shell, but if you know how to use windows or linux ones, you'll be fine.

Of course, I know that not everyone will be interested in doing this, so there will be easier ways to hack by using graphical programs and such, but those will be less powerful.

As for writing your own programs and scripts and such, it is my plan to develop the computer system as deep as I can over time (it might include post-full-release development). I would like to, at some point, provide a some sort of API for characters to write their own graphical software in-game as well.

Development Log / Dev Log #15: Steam Page Launch & New Gameplay Video
« Last post by Styg on October 27, 2025, 11:50:05 am »
See nicely formatter HTML version on the website.



Hi guys,

UnderRail 2: Infusion Steam page is official up, so you can go ahead and wishlist the game! Also, check out our new 10 minute gameplay video.

We plan to release the game in Early Access at some point in the future. I do not know the exact date, but if I'd have to guess it should takes us about a year and a half to get all the stuff we want in there. I could be wrong, though, so don't hold me to this. I'll let you guys know months in advance as we get closer to the release.

For our new Steam audience: you can real all the old Infusion dev logs here, while all the new ones will be posted on Steam as well.

So go ahead, wishlist the game, if it looks like something you'd enjoy playing and also spread the word about it, it helps a lot.

That's it for now. In the coming weeks we have some work to do on Underrail 1 (check it out on Steam as well) as it's nearing its 10 year anniversary, but after that we're going back into Infusion trenches with Early Access as our next big goal.

In the meantime, be sure to follow me on X, where I post smaller tidbits of development regularly.

Cheers.

Suggestions / Emporium Mall Lunatic Barber unique weapon
« Last post by harperfan7 on October 27, 2025, 03:06:06 am »
Give him a shaving knife.  Maybe it lets you do quicker cut-throats but is otherwise a bottom-tier weapon.

Or maybe just make it a luxury item with a high value.  You added a barber but no special knife!  How dare you.

A:6
C:3

L1: Opportunist (amazing dmg feat on any build
L1: Quick pockets (we really need the quick slot this feat provides early on, hand grenades are the main source of AOE before GLs)
L2: Spear throw (2/3 range spec) (this is our primary way of dealing inorganic/ crit immune targets)
L4: Power Management
L6: Versatility (so we can use thumper as soon as we get it)

L10:Ripper

None (we wont need it)

Subterfuge W/ huxkey/jackknife
stealth: 136 (159) (does not count tabis/balaclavas)
Hacking 83 (130)
Lockpicking 44 (131)

Technology: effective stats assume that you have relevant benches + hypercerebrix (which we will meet the requirements for)

Mechanical :116 (201)
Electronic:116 (201)
Chemistry:57 (111)   (thermobarics at 110 skill)
Biology: 102(151) (does not count benches/drugs but does count bioinvesigative belt)
Tailoring: 8 (10) (for incendiary grenades does not count bench/drugs)


PSI

Temporal manipulation: 134 (145)


Social
Persuasion 88(110)
Mercantile 75(111)


Factions/major choices: Coretech for shield rechargers (our main defense), Bioinvestigative belt from the squid lovers

U1: Knives
U2: Caltrops/Taser
U3: Shield Recharger
U4: Nets, bio grenades




W1:Super steel energy spear or tripple heartbreaker trident
W2:Grenade launcher or spare spear (depending on the encounter)

Helm:  Tchortist bioscrubber, synesthestic refocus, or deaths grin (depending on the situation)
Armor: Coretech tactical vest, or the home invasion armor
Belt: Commando, utility, or master demolitionist if on dominating
Boots: Super steel striders (buy or find some high quality ninja tabis for when you want to be sneaky)


Uniques: Trident with triple dose of heartbreak (think of this as a tool for assassinating bosses)

Remote control energizer glove (amazing against bots with some planning and a tazer)

Utilities

The goal of this build is to make a throwing knife build that solves 3 key problems

Softening targets/AOE (grenade launcher)

High DT targets (spear throw)

Bots (energizer glove)


We have acess to every drug in the game, 3 free feats (take pack rathound, armor slopping or whatever your heart desires)

This build gets most of its essential feats out of the way early and I'm surprised by just how many feats directly increase throwing knife damage (and how few feats actually affect throwing kinves)


on a side note This build has access to every drug in the game

All feedback is welcome

Development Log / Re: Dev Log #10: Lockpicking and Hacking
« Last post by Vagabond on October 27, 2025, 01:03:54 am »
I was holding off on saying anything in recent dev logs because I love each and every one and it gets me more hyped by the day.

However, in the particular case of Hacking, I needed a video example to understand what it will be like, and the recent Hacking video on Youtube blew my mind.

I don't know how to code, and yet I am eager to figure out how hacking works because this is exactly the s*** I wanted to see in other games like Cyberpunk or Immersive Sims like Prey or Shadow of Doubt (give or take in the complexity). A completely detailed, in-depth additional and optional gameplay mechanic that adds a whole new layer to the main game, that you can entirely miss because of it's complexity.

That being said, I do wonder if besides the terminal and, paraphrasing Styg, GUI hacks, if we spec properly into a hacker+techie we can make our own "hacks" and "hacking tools" like cyberdecks (yes, it's actually a real thing). I can envision there being a dedicated forum thread specifically to all this, where everyone on top of their builds, share all the hacks they made. Like maybe a simple bruteforce codebreaker for simple 6-digit electronic locks. Or a self-destructive scan virus that gives you a full "map" of the system before deleting itself without a trace. Maybe besides hacks, we can make biometric scans of ourselves and (possible) companions that can be on us at all times to insert into hacked/disabled robots. The possibilities end with the imagination and the complexity of the system.

There is also a thought that can be a best of both worlds for those that don't want to go into the deep end, such as with higher hacking skill, the whole process gets easier, without changing the complexity at all, by having tooltips and thought bubbles appear. Something that can alleviate the burden of coding for the general public, while still keep the core essence intact and not dumb down or give outright answers and solutions. Think of it as turning the hacking from a meta-skill based to a hybrid skill & puzzle based system. You still need to find the solution like in an immersive sim.

always wondered why there's no way back into the institute, once you finished DC.

I know it closes out the story line, but it would be interesting to see how the faceless\Tchortists combated.

if the invasion has started, you'd have no way to get back in to the institute and would be hardlocked from finishing the game

but now thats not the case
