  • A city. Or a small town with city level amenities and reachability. Some place where I don’t need a car for regular and even some irregular errands.

    I’m quite pleased with where I am right now, a provincial capital in NL. If I’d have to scale down, Houten looks quite promising. If I’d be forced to scale up and leave the country, the four places that pop to my mind that interest me are Freiburg (DE), Vienna (AT), Helsinki (FI) and Oslo (NO).





  • Also, fair. Railguns are a Cryo science thing.

    And try non-explosive Uranium shells and a few gun speed upgrades. You need to overcome the healing with DpS, and the worms are weaker against kinetic shells than explosive ones.

    Add some poison capsules and you can deal with at least small worms fine.

    Gonna find out later myself if and/or how well mass Teslas work against worms. First build a factory on Fulgora that can get me to space, then research something with EM science, then unlock Purple and Piss Yellow science (yes, I’m trying for that super rare achievement), then work on the other fun gadgets and upgrades, before finally flying off to Vulcanus.

    Railguns are better for big worms and only really necessary when/if you’re gonna push Vulcanus to megabase levels.


  • I heard one tip where, if you want to throw a FUCKTON of materials at worms, build a 4×4 square of nuclear reactors, let them heat up to 1000, then aggro the worm to try to chomp down on the reactors, causing it to nuke itself.

    Advantage: available with only up to chemical science

    Disadvantage: you’ll have to build four nuclear reactors, just to blow them up


  • Try taking rail guns to deal with the worms. Apparently even the handheld one easily does enough damage to casually oneshot mediums. 10k base physical damage and the shot keeps going and hitting things until it reaches end of range.

    ETA: if you shoot roughly in line with the worm, you’ll easily get multiple segments. Each one takes the full shot of damage before resistances are applied, so the worm takes a ton of damage in a single shot, even with its resistance.






  • Diabel: Alright, looks like everyone’s grouped up. Get plenty of rest tonight, people! We leave at noon!

    Player 2: *Groans* Noon?

    Player 3: That’s so early!

    Diabel: *Sighs* Alright. What about 1 o’clock?

    Player 8: 1? Dude, come on!

    Diabel: *Groans* God, fine! We leave at the crack of… 2:30, I guess. Lazy butts…

    Player 4: Christ, I’m gonna have to set my alarm.
