It is a lore thing. I am not entirely sure how much is Blade Runner and how much is Xpz lore.

I do not think the UAC weaponry idea would work like you want to.

The  UAC weaponry list is large and heterogenous.

UAC carbine is ubiquitous and pretty good, but clearly an early weapon.

UAC Rifle is a bit later, rare, but not quite having a good niche.

UAC Pistol is even more rare, but is actually plenty useful compressing the rifle use case in a portable sidearm format.

UAC Nailgun is gnarly but is a NPC weapon, and you are unlikely to even see it until year 2.

UAC plasmagun is very useful but really rare, and sourcing ammo for it is difficult.

BFG 9000 is a monster of a gun, even rarer than plasmagun, with it being a plasma Rocket Launcher.

UAC Rocket Launcher is a fast firing rl that can be taken to space, so it cas quite an use case.

All these weapons are VASTLY different, operate differently, ammo is sourced in different fashion, and you rely on them at different part of the game.

Just because you know about the common as fuc UAC carbine does not entitle you to knowledge about BFG operation.

Yes. You have to click on them to "dismantle" them, that is a way to fix them. Even while ruined they provide some amenities, so make sure to cover the shortfall while they are out of service.

In perspective, 68/45 is about half as powerful as a trained 75/75 bugeye. Really, gals are good at being a lot of elite, but master mindshapers they are not.

Gals, however, make for EXCELLENT muscle mages, so you can maybe head that way with them, if you are Gray.

68 pow and 45 skill is hardly elite.

It is worth reiterating that you CAN buy gals on any path, but the no-GaS paths do not have the cheap and early option of buying hands.

The available solutions for your gal-buying needs are either Freaks(lower average stats, but they are STILL gals, moderately expensive, take a full 20 days to arrive, and require a expensive Jack prize), or Veterans(expensive, and considerably late in the tech tree).

Also Ogres are an option, though you will never buy them in bulk.

Make sure they are NOT vibroswords though.



Someone already told you about Chem Blunderbus, but I also advise something like a Slaughter Cannon.

Hi

Firstly, wonderful mod. Thanks for the hard work. Currently playing version N4.0.2 and I think something is up with my rank score. For the first 3 months my score increased and I achieved rank: racketeer. Then in April score dipped due to low missions and since then I've achieved boss & crime lord but no achievement. This means I am blocked from getting access to Krazy Hanza, cloaking device etc. I understand that you can only rise by one rank a month but how can i rise above racketeer? Is there a file I can edit or do I need to restart.

Thanks in advance

Not a bug, I think you need to research The Solar Courier you get from a pogrom to progress.

It works exactly the same bow, having it had trigger several times for me just last night. I dunno what you wish me to tell you.

Difficult to say, since this is some AI wizardry I have no clue how it works, but the enemies have to be repeating the same patrol between the same nodes to trigger rat hunt.

That was not changed, likely you are missing some other condition.

I would bet that it's more than 2 enemies left or they are not 'stuck'.

The game is designed to be beat without a codex, including an alternate craft to get to Cydonia.

HOWEVER, as far as I am aware, no one has yet done it.

Peasant revolution is probably the easiest path, though not the most straightforward. Compared to male touch, Peasant path gets a larger, more defensible unique craft, as well as a HQ with a very unique radar function (has global range with 5% detection chance), which changes how the game is played.
