Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[Twiglard]

one timestamp to look for is end of biocorp, per wiki 189 years ago. Afaik we dont know when lemurians got gassed before that or when split in station zero happened. Given shadowlith influence it was likely within 1st generation already? If they emerged while biocorp was still a thing they would likely come back to finish their job.

Shit, where did you get that Station Zero and Serpent backstory? It didn't even connect with the gassings on my end. I've read the terminals and talked to that deranged person before killing him for his chip.

Station Zero was dying due to inbreeding, AFAIK? Nothing about the monolith. Damn.

There is no date given for the start of corruption, but there are strong hints of it beginning in 129 LE-AD (251 LE). It is the date of a catastrophic shadow wave emission incident that wiped out a lot of data pertaining to the Shadowlith. The last entry in recovered notes describes preparations to cut it open, and seeing how we can find a chunk of it in Serpentborn temple the attempt was successful. This has led to several things: the already mentioned shadow wave emission, the destruction of/damage to the Strongman doing it and the outpouring of shadow dust - most likely the culprit behind corruption.

Imagine a movie about all this thing. By John Carpenter. Maan

Imagine the scene with submarine negation. Where it slowly darkens and then instantly turns to soot and falls down.

Its pretty cool how you can discuss Bethesda Softworks with the Ferryman

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I think something worth noting is the question we must still ask: was Ezra an Apex Technocrat in Biocorp during the attack on Lemuria or did he ascend afterwards?

Also, how does the questline as a mutant with Kharon go? Can anyone give an overview? Does he (essentially Kiril/Vovin) help you become human again or is it something more sinister? I think I'm going to run thru it in my own save just for shits and giggles, but I don't know yet.

Someone detailed it earlier in the thread. I can't be arsed to find it but it's there.

Nothing can help you become human again. The ending is

Spoiler

that he takes you to the mutie island in the Black Sea so you can at least hang out with people who accept you.

There's one part where he kinda mind controls you into following instructions which some people take as pretty sinister, but I think it's more just him using psi to make sure you remember what to do, because you're a 2 int mutant and you'll forget otherwise.

So, at one point you may come across a certain device and you will ask yourself? "Well, will it...?"

Yes. Yes it will.

You can use it to get the Tchortist Noble robes without aggroing the Institute

 

[Werdnicus]

You can also just murder Minister Percival as soon as you get to Core City for the robes

 

[Fenix]

Gas grenades

I see.

There are some actual real world studies about low frequency EM waves causing DNA alterations.

Hm... really? Those G5 towers looks a lot more dangerous now...

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

I tried to be cheeky during the Gauntlet run. Planted some TNT and lured all the crawlers onto it.

Spoiler

 

[Whisper]

Anyone can post Mutant walkthough and outcomes. (With Stasis guy and Kharon)

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I never realized that Infused Sea Wyrm armor of high quality was so damn good. It's better than riot gear in melee.

This room is a instant reload for me. So fucking annoying.

Also, i always cheat the gauntlet casting stasis on the last room. You mad, Styg?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Also, does anyone else wish infused leather did something extra for fist weapons? Like, Infused Sea Wyrm leather doing something some fist damage, or acid damage, or bypassing a portion of resistance, etc.

I wish leather components would do something in the damage output on leather gloves.\

Might as well shill something I made.
https://github.com/Z3em/underrail-mutagen-puzzle-solver
A multithreaded solver for the DC mutagen puzzle. You write down your reagents and target compound into a txt file (like the one in the repo) and feed the file to solver. You can adjust how many threads it can use (speeds up computation on multicore systems) and the maximum number of reagents it can string together (as it needs to stop at some point if it can't find a solution).
It's a command line tool written in Python 3, so you're gonna have to have the interpreter installed.

How'd you do threading in Python with the GIL?

What I did back in the days was to run a depth-first search allowing between 1-3 cycles, with up to depth 2-4 in between, all with iterative deepening. Also Python.

if hasattr(other, "negativeAtoms")

Just use an array with positive and negative indices.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Hmm. I just created an infused Sea Wyrm serpent armor that, combined with the infused boots and lifting belt has made me immune to stock melee damage. Magnar fucked me up with Expose Weakness. But aside from him, NOTHING with base mechanical damage, man or beast, has hurt me.

 

[Zeem]

How'd you do threading in Python with the GIL?

Absolutely nothing because I wasn't even aware of it. Well, I did use threading module, but with GIL it's completely pointless. I'm gonna replace it with multiprocessing module, shouldn't be too much work. At least now I know why I never encountered a potential race condition that could lower the number of active threads due to an empty queue.

What I did back in the days was to run a depth-first search allowing between 1-3 cycles, with up to depth 2-4 in between, all with iterative deepening. Also Python.

I just went with a breadth-first search. Better performance in cases where solution is short and it's easy to parallelize with only a single queue shared between threads.

Just use an array with positive and negative indices.

Nut sure I get what you mean. How would that work?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Actually, now with all that resistance, I'm wondering if it makes psychic more interesting. Max Con, Max Will, High Int.

 

[lukaszek]

if it makes psychic more interesting

cave wizrdry is never interesting

 

[Twiglard]

Convert atoms into indices, like [HURR DURR HACKEM MUCHE], then index as 1, 2, 3, 4 and -1, -2, -3, -4 for negative atoms. Then you can keep the visited list as a fixed-size byte array, reducing allocator pressure and speeding up copying.
