Welp
Same, I didn't even know we were dying.
If it dies lets just go back to /gerg/
Yeah
We'll probably get shitposted again though

I love this man.
Save the timeline
SAVE IT
the orkin man
Holy moly Wind Turbine is disgusting. I just got my first 4 perfect island victory with Steel Judoka.
pity bump for containment thread
You'd almost think it'd be limited.
Yeah at this point im surprised that it isn't
How do we fix Ralph?
>got Bethany and Camilla Vera with user's cute sprite replacement
I wish I could take them both at the end of a run. Bethany is the cutest stock character.
I don't get why /gerg/ and not /indie/. How many people bought ITB because
>"FUCK YEAH! MECH GAME, BRO! WOOO!"
and not just
>"Hey, the guys who made that indie hit 'FTL' made a new game, guess I'll check it out"
Oh well. I'll just dissipate to the wastelands. It's been nice.
Besides giving him retaliation? Maybe make the exp gains affect his allies. Then he could have some merit in bringing on a new timeline.
Nah exp gain is no help at all
especially if you compare it to skills the others have
Shit is OP as fuck and reach hilarious points with Silica. I'll bet they'll nerf the "unlimited uses" to +1 charge.
1. Because /gerg/ wanted us
2. Because after FTL, ITB can't really be considered some small fry indie game.
Again, ItB gets old fast. I can't have fun anymore.
>ITB can't really be considered some small fry indie game.
But it is.
How so?
No one wants you pikeys, you're better off dead
archimedes is broken af, 1 reactor point to block a vek every turn
isnt it great
PUBG is(was?) indie
>FTL literally in /indie/'s OP
>"ItB shouldn't be indie!"
Are you retarded?
Every Valve game is "indie" :^)
Retard just wants to spite his /gerg/ butt buddies.
reminder that he let us down once again
not next time!
exp gain is a dead end
Any tips for getting the immortal achievement with the hazardous mechs?
Abe helps
Could very well. I haven't heard news though
bump
gonna need more reactor
...
...
I still have no wins
>still haven't unlocked the secret squad
>still have to git gud for Hard mode
>threads are already dying
I wanted to see and read more discussions and opinions about squads and mechs and shit.
Why is it happening so soon?
How many timelines? How much time?
I have 14 hours and 22 timelines and only won one of them.
Poor replayability.
how can you be that bad?
the game is not hard, just take your time
try playing with archemedes or abe, they can be forgiving
I have reached the final island several times, often even with (almost) full grid, but then get raped by the pylon positioning and getting swarmed by shit.
If I die before, it's always because of grid damage.
...
>Hard mode
high damage, some control and good planning are the key
don't be afraid to take damage, plan your moves to "chain" your attacks
try Aegis, Charge/Unstable (with Abe) and Boulder, it should go fine
prioritize better enemy disruption in the rewards?
Just keep at it, you'll save those timelines!
All the Squads can beat Hard Mode just fine, and there's very few genuinely awful robots in Random Select (Jet without Rocket passive is not fun)
Just play the game
...
who's the worst at it though
First victory on normal mode. Feels pretty good, lads.
congratulations my friend
t-t-thanks!
Nice work, Mr. Jones.
Well, that's everything.
Holy SHIT the secret squad is bad. Like irredeemably so. I have no desire to play these fucks at all. Looks like these threads are done for too, so I guess that's that.
Good game. Too short, too little replayability, no way is it ever going to match FTL, but good.
actually they're fine
They're not. No pilots, underpowered mechs, special mech class so every weapon in the game costs an extra core. Fuck all of that.
They have the worst first island imo, but are ridiculously good afterwards. The extra cost is not felt much since your weapons are core hungry and powerful as fuck, but by fourth island you should have enough for any tank sidegrade; I had a fully equiped acid tank, shits cash on this team, which does 3 dmg at the end.
im trying not to straight up google how to get the hidden pilots. am i right that you find them by destroying mountains on islands that arent the first island of your run?
its your own fault for playing so goddamn much. but keep in mind theyll probably release an advanced edition at some point
yup, mountains and ice
you gotta get a perfect run
she's pretty smug about it
...
sooner rather than later
>its your own fault for playing so goddamn much
I still have fun playing FTL every now and then.
ralph is the hero we need
he's a dirty assassin, lowlife scum
but not the one we deserve
>All these people beating hard with Flame Behemoths
>I can't even beat normal 3 and they're my favorite squad
don't let your pilots die, much like a scrub
There is no point ever where the Janus Cannon is actually useful.
Does Self-Destruct proc Viscera Nanobots? And Self-Destruct is unlimited use correct?
Yeah I also have like 6 normal-2 victories, no normal-3 victories and I haven't tried hard yet
Self destruct does proc viscera nanobots, though it's one use per mission only.
>Does Self-Destruct proc Viscera Nanobots?
YES!
>Self-Destruct is unlimited use?
nope, sorry.
i wonder if i could add a range upgrade
damn, the wiki didnt say 1 use, thats disappointing
Looking for ideas for a custom pilot + squad mod
>13 minutes per island pace
>harold dies to lightning because I didn't see that he had fucking acid
GODDAMN IT FUCK
I encourage everyone else to try the 1 game challenge
See how many achievements you can get with one win. I missed out on 3, I assume the blocking 100 vek would be almost impossible to get, also the "take no damage on a Island" achievement does not count for the final island, even though it wasnt X'd out while fighting on it
i don't think that the "bug exterminator" squad brainstormed a few threads ago got made
as for a custom pilot, how about someone (cyborg?) with a vampirism (1dmg, heal 1) power?
Two words:
Three levels.
Make him start with +3 Grid Defense
25 xp = new skill
50 xp = new skill
25 xp = new skill
>tfw you block most of the spawns in the first turn of the final battle so the tentacles that turn tiles into lava destroy the vek spawns since they target your guys
Nice
>time pod only has core
:(
>time pod gets hit by lightning
hey man, after getting entire islands without a time pod, I can appreciate the meat and potato that is the core. anything else is just spice.
Promise me there'll never be another /itb/ general until they release an expansion. It's just gonna archive in the double digits.
>have to sit through the bomb detonation every single time
reee
agreed. I just beat ITB without losing once, on hard mode, across 3 classes.
this game is inferior to FTL pre-AE.
what a waste of 15 bucks.
>secret squad requires every single achievement in the game
'>it isn't any more unique than any other squad
>there's no impetus to use them because you've already cleared every challenge the game has to offer in order to unlock them
10/10 game design
Well i look forward to it
I know what the secret squad is but niw how it plays and once i completed the game i'll allow myself to properly mod the game
>niw
That's supposed to mean not
Alright so who are the best pilots?
Camila feels like she might be the best in the game at my current skill level. Bad webs are like the only time I take grid or objective damage, so having someone immune to them who can bait them out is fantastic. Potentially, this could be played around were I better at the game anyway.
Archimedes is awesome. As someone mentioned earlier, one reactor core and you can effectively block a hole every turn. I quite like him in the flame mech because he can ignite squares if he can't reach any enemies and still move towards objectives.
Silica seems good on paper but I'm usually too starved for cores to make use of his ability. I expect were I good at the game he might come out on top, but I'm not.
Harold is useful all the time, but I feel like there's always a better option. He's never ineffective though.
Honorable mention to Abe for making the ramming mech usable.
What do you guys think?

is that robbie rotten??????????????
