That is a problem that Dio knows, and you might want to wait for the next version where he said that the Thunderbolt spam will be reduced.

Can you elaborate on which random events? Which month? How much money you started with? What difficulty? This sounds like Turan starting events maybe? If so, has nothing to do with personality, has to do with country you started with. But it could be a half dozen other happenings.
On that game I was Eurasian Autonomy, it was 3rd month on second difficulty and its been a while now so I can't remember all the varied random events it was giving me but I remember getting the party one 3 times in that week and one that was -75k repeatedly that had a message that gave no indication of it being due to a decision I made.

Now I'm on a new game, month is September, same difficulty and location and while I've managed to keep myself afloat, the random events still seem to be overly common. Just now I got the disease random event twice within a day or two of each other, while having a sickbay and most of the medical research I've had available.

Another new game month of April first, 8-9 days rise to 1k then drop like a bomb in a matter of 2-3 days to -900 because of transports on the other side of the map.

Insane...

Is there a mod for faster healing?
I am not a fan of my characters being down for multiple months.

You can use this mod from Rangerh. It was made for the 40k mod but I've altered it to work for XPiratez. It makes the access lift in every base heal all soldiers by an additional 2% of their health per day, which means that under no circumstances will any soldier take more than 50 days to fully heal and return to service.

Thats great, I was thinking of asking him to modify it for xpiratez if there wasn't a mod already.

How do you use the tecnovator brainhack? clicking the on screen prompt has no interface and does using the keyboard shortcut.

Do riot shields stack with each other?

What about with the built in shields in the armors? Like the chainmail + gothic shield.

different sources of %% damage resistance do stack but only to the amount specified in their description; the first number is how much resist provided, the second is maximum stackable.

So wearing 2 riots shields works?

I'm a relative newcover to X-Piratez, so maybe it's a stupid question, but why can't I research the cattle prod? I haven't noticed it to begin with, but it seems to be possible to research any item you own (except those that require special facilities, like slave AI), but Cattle Prod doesn't seem to even have an entry in the Bootypedia (at least search shows only the entry "Cattle Prod ", on how to buy or manufacture it). Is it a known issue or something only I encounter?
