[Dev Blog] Alpha r22 Patch Notes

Development

I believe stats will increase depending on what they do, so you can’t just be completely reckless because you can just replace your baker who’s worked for you for 10 years and has mastered the business. However, as I said, Radiant are keen to keep stats’ effects down as much as they can whilst they still feel of vague importance (else there’d be no point having them). From my experience playing FTL, I frankly don’t give a damn about stats, if I have a mantis who’s green on engines then get a 5th crew member, I get that crew member training up on the engines immediately and the mantis waits until I get a teleporter. There are certainly no sentiments from me as to which does what, but SH is a lot more sandbox-y and I see the point Radiant are making. :stuck_out_tongue:

even if the traits effects are subtle, if you are focused and optimize all your dudes then it will have a much larger effect over time. so you couldn’t have mr chop who cuts groves of bamboo with a single swipe but if you have 5 choppers all with ideal traits it could have a larger effect when grouped together.

i think its a good thing not going over board with i would like to see some sort of pay off for the effort. all your foragers with +speed etc…

I think everyone has the gist of it.

We’ve heard that they don’t want you to be forced into decisions you don’t want to make like feeling a certain unit should be a certain class because of his stats.

However I imagine this plays into that whole maximizing potential aspect where if you choose to do that you will see certain benefits.

Will be interesting to see how it pans out, really makes you feel a bit more attached to people when they have their own little diary though.

eheum WASD is nice lets say , BUT you americans forgot that there are other keyboard layouts in the world :slight_smile:

AZERTY is used in Belgium, And I agree one could say who cares about belgium ???, but France is also using AZERTY ( french azerty ) which is different from belgium azerty ( but only on special chars :-1: ) )

anyway WASD is useless to me ( if not configurable )

Until I recently visited Germany it didn’t even dawn on me that other countries might have different keyboard configurations!

I’m sure this is something the team will sort out sharpish!

46

yeah , I believe its QWERTZ in germany

47

It’s all in the camera service. Any mod could modify those key bindings to offer you a configuration already. Even RP.

48

qwertz in croatia as well. Just add the standard english keyboard to your system and ctrl+shift to it when you’re about to play. It’s not a big deal

49

there’s your queue, non QWERTY folks… make all donations payable to:

@blah, @Petard, @SteveAdamo

I am a merciful scripter.

rp.smod r2300 and rp_hotfix.smod (requires r2300)

user_settings.json: Add a new section (don’t forget the comma);

"mods" : {
	"rp_hotfix" : {
		"camera_keys" : {
			"forward" : "Z",
			"backwards" : "S",
			"left" : "Q",
			"right" : "D",
			"turn_left" : "A",
			"turn_right" : "E"
		}
	}
}

This has likely to be removed once the new update hits (I expect it any second now).
