Yikes. Pokemon modding strikes again.

One more: Zygoptera's Random Item mod and Spawn mod are incompatible still right?

Years ago I finished SS2 a few times, save for OSA path. I remember the gist of SS2 and how the gameplay progressed, so to mix it up I went for hard mode, OSA and mods, hence the pokemon modding. You're one of the oldest community members around, so maybe you know  if I can add some more gameplay changing mods?

0. WTF are the Sim units on Deck4? Found one with the spider trap? Can't kill the spiders tho EDIT:Found the second one in Bulkhead 4.2 near the "nanites betweeh eggs on ceiling trap".

1. I have 126 upgrade modules. OSA path, Cryo, Camera disarm, Cyber Affinity.

2. Stats:

STR 2
END 1
PSI 3
AGI 2
CYB 2

HACK 4
REPAIR 1
MAINT 2
MOD 0
RES 1

STND 1
ENERGY 1
HEAVY 0
EXOTIC 0

3. Is EMP rifle worth 6 points in exotic just for robots? Protocol and Maintenance robots die easy to overload Laser Pistol or even Wrench if I get lucky.

7. Is it worth it to invest in research and exotic just for Shard? Exotic 1 + Research 3 (I have Lab implant) = 33 modules. Worth it without PSI melee amplification power (+ 6 modules= 39 total)?

8. Or just use wrench + PSI amplify damage (6 modules)?

9. Pyrokinesis is 41+11=42 modules total? Worth it over other options? Tier 3 has PSI recharge too, worth it?

10. Maintenance vs No_Degradation_PSI?

I played SS2 a few times before, just not with mods, not on hard and not as OSA.

Any pointers as for the above questions?

So far I can solo maintenance yellow and white bots with overcharge laser pistol so I think 6 points in Energy just for EMP rifle and assault bots seems like waaay too much investment considering that there arent that much assault bots to begin with.

Can bots be hacked?

How about both Worm weapons + PSI ammo clone?

Or Fusion cannon + PSI ammo clone?

Assuming you still have SS2-RSD installed as in your mod load order, voodoo's guidance based on vanilla balance isn't exactly correct.

It's now very worthwhile to get Research for the Crystal Shard, since you need Research 2 for annelid healing glands and monkey organs, Research 3 for annelid psi glands and midwife organs, and Research 4 for the Crystal Shard and arachnid organs. Whether you want to spec into Exotic is up to you, though.

The wrench is much less effective now that it no longer scales with the Standard skill, so if you're hoping to focus on melee it is paramount to unlock the Crystal Shard, Laser Rapier, or Psi Sword ability. Adrenaline Overproduction and the Lethal Weapon/Smasher O/S traits make a much bigger difference for those weapons too, since they multiply damage before strength bonuses and this is critically low on the wrench.

I think the EMP rifle is great, personally. Allows you to completely declaw droids and turrets, plus it's decent against cyborgs too. Bots are the biggest threat for an OSA character, so this is pretty substantial. Plus, you'll get the Laser Rapier for "free" on your way to it.

Maintenance is no longer a no-brainer pick, since weapons with higher skill requirements restore much less condition with each tool applied. I personally think Anti-Entropy is a great power if you remember to cast it before fights. Repair is worth looking at as a niche option if you're using Heavy weapons, since it now lets you "buy" prisms very cheaply, which is also important as the Fusion Cannon eats more prisms per shot now.

I wouldn't bother with Projected Pyrokinesis unless you're a full OSA character. For a hybrid build I'd get utility skills (stat boosts, shields, Anti-Entropy, Molecular Duplication, Electron Cascade). Tier 3 has some good stuff.

Of course, you won't be able to do everything. Choose wisely whether you want to dip into a lot of different skills or specialize (the highest ranks of stats/skills/psi disciplines are all cheaper now). You won't be able to max out all of the weapon skills without sacrificing tech skills and psi powers. Standard and Energy is a good combo, and I'd support them with Maintenance, Modify, and maybe Anti-Entropy and Electron Cascade. I wouldn't get more than a rank or two in Exotic unless you have a plan for how it'll fit. I also don't see Heavy past 3 in your build unless you leave Standard and Energy pretty low.

yep, the good old stack reset to 0 or 1 bug. rare, but definitely exists - congrats, I guess?

loading an earlier save is all you can do.

1. What are unusual ways to build a character?

2. Are there game changing mods like SS2-RSD that work with Kolya's Randomizer and Double Spawn mod? Does the double spawn rate give, in the long run, double the loot?

Also, not that it's something new for you, Recycler from a hacked replicator costs 100creds. A recycled implant sells for 10cr. Everything else sells for 1cr. Don't bother with Recycler, it's not even worth the space it's taking in the inventory.

My bad, it's Zygoptera's Randomizer and Spawn mods.

>2. mods not found?

What do you mean?

Do you happen to know whether Secmod 3 or SS Infinite are compatible with the Randomizer and Spawn mods?

Also, do the weapon replacements only change the graphics of the weapons or also change the stats of the weapons?
