Codex Choice

[Dioxine]

1 for 1 i strongly prefer the syn, and since the syn is general tech and not codex locked the codex picks with it are weakened by comparison.

Absolutely. The Bio Suit will have an upgraded version eventually, so the basic one is good as it is; maybe bit too expensive.

I wouldn't have an upgrade imo. Just make it more distinct maybe an inbuilt chem weapon? Makeing something even sturdier then the biosuit wouldn't be that healthy for balance. As is, it can tank everything in the game pretty fearlessly. The syn at least is balanced by the minimal hp pool, so its still at risk with high rolls.

Upgraded doesn't always mean sturdier. It could mean less penalties on stats, for example. Though I would prefer to have less vulnerability to laser damage, but I guess it'd make bio suit too broken.

And no inbuilt weapons, please: I'd like to be able to use two-handed weapons on my "tanks".

[legionof1]

Valid concerns greattuna, i was just trying to think of a way to have the suit and any potential upgrade by more unique. Regeneration and good resists are not particularly special anymore with recent additions. But the design space is also limited by the bio-suit being near the point where it allows you to cheerfully ignore any enemy weapon.

[Dioxine]

I didn't mean sturdier, no, and certainly not to laser. Some less stat penalties, maybe. It could be a flying one with inbuilt chemical weapon or something like that. Would need a novelty weapon, something useful but not broken.

I wonder why are manufacturable mind control devices tied to Illusion?

Higher ranking church personel and reticulans do use mind tricks.

[Dioxine]

Not all devices, there  is Herder's Staff which can be used by anyone. Just the best devices.

[Martin]

Herder’s staff is manufacturable now?

Fairly simple question, but it does deserve a thread to itself IMO:

Which Codex (tiny Drill project) do you choose and why?

Don't pick red, just pick green and you have a better experience.

Pick grey/gold if you consider toying around using witches/ghosts and fairies.

Green is indeed pretty great, as both Fairies and Saviours are very good, especially if prefer capturing live.

And you get Super Maids, Bio-suits AND converted cyclopes on top of that.
Such an overloaded codex.

  My choice is the gray but its my firist camping.
I like the magic, and the descripción its ver y good jaja

For me Red is for a new Agressor armor. If you can grab it early it is life changing.

Have to say, I did really enjoy getting the Aggressor suits early on.  My first campaign as well, so I have no idea of the various niches of the higher level armors, but it might be fun to have a "codex-flavored" (and restricted to that codex) higher level armor.  Of course, that may already exist, I just may not have found/seen them yet.

Working around the limitations of the Scorpion hasn't been too bad, I've never been one to hide in the ship on the first turn, so getting out and clear quickly is nice.  And with some of the enemy spawning right at hand I can usually take them out fast, which is a nice jump on each mission.  And I've now built my Metallo, so I have larger transport capacity when needed.  All of the undersea missions have had low enemy counts, so the Snake has been sufficient (bought a Blowfish for a while but got rid of it for a second Snake).

Red has Purgatoria unique to it. It's fast, good resists, has a red shield, and grants stun recovery on hit, so it has a good synergy with the Blood Axe. It also counts as Exosuit...but cannot fly, and thus cannot into space. Its inability to fly is, however, a major drawback, since both waist-high fences and flying enemies exist in great abundance.
