A thread for little questions

You don't exactly recruit them, once you have all the syn research done and the appropriate medical building they show up as a manufacture job.

You mean

Spoiler:

Sickbay and Surgical?

Is Bugeye Voodoo power fixed?  It says the cap is 75, but I have one that's stuck at 52.  Meanwhile, my humans and gals are increasing VP normally.

[wolfreal]

Voodoo power should not increase. Only Skill....

There is only a way, if I remember correctly, and only with gals.

[jungybrogan]

Weird, all my Voodoo trained gals have reached their VP cap from using staffs and wands.  But my first Bugeye and one of my mistresses are stuck midcap.  What's going on here?  Edit: Noticed her inital VP was really low.  Is there a max skill growth for VP?

[wolfreal]

I do a little search. There should be only a way to improve voodoo power in this mod. Maybe you activate somehow the "allow psi-strength improvement" option? It should be forced to false. Voodoo improvement it is not intended for the mod.

[jungybrogan]

It looks like the option is disabled/locked out in the options.  I've been overwriting the the mod folder between upgrades, maybe that would mess up the options?  It's a new save with the latest version though -- but still doesn't account how some units are improving in v.power, while others have stopped.  Are all units supposed to be fixed to their starting VP?

- Option should be locked out. Correct.
- I also do overwrite, never had problems.
- Yes, they should be fixed.

So anyone find a use for the food recipes like Boomasaurus steak and Deep One Pie?  They aren't edible?

They barely have any sell value for the effort it takes to create them, and you can't even put them in inventory, unlike Mushroom Beer.  What are they for?

[Rince Wind]

Selling, they are even in the merchandise category.
They used to be easier, without all the mutated plants. But when you have the materials it is still good money, as production is quick.

[jungybrogan]

Is there a way to read to read the full text descriptions for researched items?  Many of them are cut off ie. can't read what the ammo bonuses are on guns because the flavor text pushes it down.

[Rince Wind]

Ammo bonus is in the Anal-Section.

[jungybrogan]

The Eurosyndicate elimination mission says to eliminate all targets, but completing the mission gave me -1200 score.  The targets were rebels and a governor general.  I killed half, and knocked out the rest. 

Am I supposed to kill everyone, or do you get a massive score hit no matter what? Says the mission pay is 250k, but the infamy bonus loss is substantial.

[Iazo]

Congratuations, now you found out why it's a bad idea to do deals with an evil corporation mega-state without reading the fine print.

[jungybrogan]

What is the Voodoo Mastery stat?  Is it just another name for V.Skill?

[Rince Wind]

No.
I don't know the formula at the moment, but there is an ingame article about it. (Of course there is!)
