I saw someone on Reddit that moved into the Pit when the Darkness triggered. Basically made them unkillable, haha.

Lol yeah this dlc is so much to explorer and challenging but not so much that is just pure chaos

Open your door, Biotech is knocking

really I think I'm the only one who has absolutely zero interest in this DLC

@@jwb_666 it's like a huge modpack on its own that you pay for except I didn't and yeah the dlc is actually good better than Royalty and ideology in terms of quality of content but not on par with biotech

And another thing, the summon pit gate ritual is getting used off cooldown as soon as I finish with the last one. One last thought, mechaniods are actually exceptionally useful in anamoly, the grue in the long dark event don't bother them and their ease of recovery makes them great for body blocking against the hoards of flesh monsters

Whatever they add is most likely going to be useless or not worth the time. Sorry, those guys ran out of fun ideas years ago.

​@@chainsawplayin Most L take I've ever heard, the Insector xenotype is my favorite race expansion they've done yet

​@@chainsawplayin trolling or geniune stupidity call it

@@Dendoi_ how do you even play that I prefer Androids Race

Probably overspoke a little with that line, was trying to state how dangerous it was one of mine lasted for almost an entire quadrum, which does indeed kill practically the entire map. Shouldn't have made it sound like it was a neverending event, just that it's a significant danger to colony survival due to how much it impacts.

So much of this videos is spoilers! Can't blame you for skipping it until you've played it yourself. The majority of the fun I had was trying to work out how to deal with threats.

Apologies! The timestamps for this Rundown don't really work because some explanations require knowledge from previous sections, it jumps around a fair amount and it left the information a little fragmented. It was the 'safest' way to write it without spoiling mechanics for players that wanted to avoid specific entities though!

Feel is bad as any kind of descriptive language because it covers a whole range of potential at a very personal level. 'the controls feel off' 'this feels unbalanced' 'this weapon feels satisfying'. OK... It feels that way... But why? It typically takes me longer with a game to dig deep enough to see if those feelings are because something is a new experience, so maybe adjustment time or novelty, or actually something in game that can be better described outside of just a feeling. A lot of Anomaly was novelty, that 'feeling' of enjoyment quickly fades because once you learn the tricks, it's a bit of a gimmick. It's why I think the cookie analogy works well for it. You don't necessarily want it every time otherwise it could become boring.

Jeeeeesus thats a hell of a list, haha. It certainly is a video idea though, comparing them side by side rather than doing a standalone Rundown for each. Huge project though, I'll make note of it, I like the concept.

Aye, this Rundown was made before the first major patch that added in the configurable anomaly settings. This coverage is like playing on the Monolith setting.

Biotech script and VO are done, it's a lot of footage is all. There have also been a couple of smaller releases that could really do with a quick bit of coverage too, like Pawn Editor and Biotech Expansion - Insectoid. As a rough guess I'd say it'll be released on the 29th?

Just messed around with that as it's strange it doesn't mention it on the item panel, it's the bioferrite itself. The mask isn't what adds that 10%, it's any item made from bioferrite that boosts sensitivity by 10%. So you can wear Bioferrite Plate Armour too. Neat.

It’s coming on the 29th

Replace Stuff, just make sure you checkerboard it if the room is 13x13, otherwise you can potentially have a roof collapse if you get unlucky with how fast some of the pawns will work.

When it's released as 2, aye. A few of the older vfe mods aren't being supported anymore, medieval is one of them.

Definitely one of the big issues with the DLC is that it works well because of the 'unknown' element. As soon as all of the counters are known, it quickly loses a big part of it's impact. VE has a whole series of mods lined up to overhaul/add new entities, hopefully that'll go some way in keeping it unpredictable.

Revenants fire weakness is gone with the latest patch... No more breaking hypnosis that way!

@@MysteriousFawx oh no... well it is how it should work, no way to stop it, only kill

Feels no pain and immune to psy effects, so generally speaking.... nope. They're designed to fight until they die, its why the resurrection for them is quite cheap. You could always use VE Non-Lethal though and hit them with a tranq rifle.

Nah, Biotech is just longer than Royalty and Ideology and I wanted to get Anomaly out as it was something I was playing a lot after its launch, made sense whilst I had the footage and was exploring all of the mechanics to cover it.

​@MysteriousFawx ok the only dlc I could comfortably learn to use on my own was biotech you have helped me understand the other 2 dlcs before it, I was hoping to see your breakdown on biotech next, I wasn't expecting you to do anomaly first bur regardless I'm still excited for your breakdown on biotech and I appreciate the breakdown on anomoly

It'll be a while. VOID is massive and my thoughts aren't entirely positive around it. I'd rather put out positive videos than ones that might be divisive... At least until I have to, haha

It's on the way, Anomaly coverage was more important.

There is quite a lot of back and forth in this video, timestamps don't work as well for it as they did for say, psycasting or mechanoids. Everything is intertwined and refers in the video.
