    Let me tell you about how my stage 5-3 ended in me throwing robots down in a mad attempt to stop the last stupid mage from getting through.

    Messy as all hell, but this isn't a stage to farm, so I'm fine with it.

    5-3 is actually supposed to be the most sanity useful way to farm sugar :?

    isn't that 5-2?

    I figure my auto'll be able to mimic it properly...I hope.

    Moving through Chapter 3 some more because I need to finish 3-7 to get that fixed drop.

    Getting really tired of Reunion whining about Rhodes Island when they keep trying to kill us. Also
    Misha is absolutely going to be a new Skullshatterer

    Is there an updated "best to farm" list including 5?

    What is this I don't even.

    You need the following dupes to build the full office:
    -LGD Spotlight: 125 Parts x2 pieces
    -LGD Daylight Light: 95 Parts x4 pieces
    -LGD Fluorescent Light: 100 Parts x5 Pieces

    This build gets you to 4915. Trying to figure out if missing something.

    What is this I don't even.

    No, Chens office doesnt max out at 5000 sadly :(
    Good place to toss some of those wall sign things you can get from challenge levels to max it out.

    And according to the farming sheet, 5-3 is better for overall sanity efficiency due to the other drops being better on it.

    Yes it does, you just have to buy some of the lights multiple times. See Spectrum's recent post on it.

    Got Robot tag again, along with Guard tag. This is a trap, a trick, but I have to at least try!

    Edit: I had to know so I used one of the red folders. And both tags stayed on! Castle-3 attained, leveled to 30, and...oh wow I wanted him for Power Plant stuff but he's got a 30% Factory EXP skill so that's where he's living!

    For dorm decorations, I'd suggest grabbing any potted plants you see from sets where you're either not using them or not using all the potted plants anyways. Those seem to work rather well in the vast majority of sets I've seen, so you'll be covered for future sets that don't hit 5K ambience, that you might not necessarily want to run with the suggested dupes or for some reason miss out on getting the suggested dupe furniture. Also probably worth keep an eye out for other small pieces that can work anywhere, ideally ones that give a decent shot of ambience.

    I bought an extra trash can, cactus plant, and had 2 fluorescent lights, 4 daylight lights, and 2 spotlights to just break 5k.

    Edit: not ideal, but I wanted and extra trash can and plants... I think I have 3 plants total.

    Anyone found anywhere that shows off the in-mission sprite/animations for the various skins? Want to see if the new Exusiai animations look good enough to justify picking up a skin.

    Well got my second robot tag, still no operator tags. Upside it didn't drop. Downside was there was no way to guarantee Castle-3 and end up with Lancet-2, but I'd rather improve Lancet's potential than get another dupe of a 3* I'm tired of seeing. Had the option to get a specialist and I do believe those only exist in 4*+ flavor, but wanted to see if I could get Castle-3. I figure he might show up if I drop enough guard recruitments at 3:50 timer, the Melantha pool has to have a limit, right? :P

    Do you even really need 5k ambience? Like I’ve got half way to all 3 star buildings and it’s being supported just fine on a lvl 1 dorm and 2 lvl2’s

    I guess it lets you more frequently have power combos up in rotation if you’re really pushing it.

    I just change people every morning around reset and they are fine. I don't even know what kind of ambience I have.

    Doing more than that just sounds annoying.

    Some of the things in the campaign mission tab require having at least 1 or more rooms at 5k ambience.
    And a total ambience of 10k+.
    Other than that, dorm e-peen I guess. Oh I think they generate credits too at high ambience?

    Yep, so you only have to sub out your best teams for a few hours then can sub them back in.

    Days off? 40 hour work week? Does this look unionized to you?

    Texas's reward for joining Rhodes Island is to be repeatedly shoved into a cubicle with her weird stalker till she collapses and then wake up in a dorm room with her weird stalker till she's ready to do more office work.

    so after a friend commented on the difficulty of 5-10 challenge mode of course I had to go see for myself because I didn't believe there wasn't a difficulty SilverAsh could True Silver Slap into order

    the condition is that Mephisto has a lot more HP and DEF so he will survive a single True Silver Slash

    Me, a 1-trick Doktah: But what if....I just keep slapping him??????

    https://youtu.be/tQfYgQP_zSU

    recording this and the successful practice attempt before it was actually pretty sweaty though, not gonna lie (not to mention all the failed practice runs beforehand). Definitely a challenge stage with some spice to it because Mephisto being alive means the mobs stay alive a lot longer and will overrun you if you can't clear them out fast enough.

    Doing a map I have locked down on auto when I glance at the screen and see the error screen because something failed on auto. I've done this map on auto dozens of times so I just restart and return my attention elsewhere. I look back and see the error screen again.

    So this time I restart and watch it, trying to identify where the problem lies, and it completes perfectly. Auto some more and no errors.

    I think this game is just screwing with me

    I think the most common case of this is where it's trying to deploy an operator when you don't have the same DP as the recorded run (like if Siege didn't get to hammer time enough or your ops cost more DP now). Mostly it's nothing.

    No, it wasn't that since I had 99 DP by midway into the level. Looking at it, what probably happened was one of the heavies kept wiggling back onto solid ground when Shaw kept trying to push him off. He eventually kills the tank blocking him and gets to the goal.

    I think I've countered it now by putting down another unit into his square while he's doing the wiggle dance. This makes him turn around and stand still, so Shaw can push him off.

    There is an interesting video where a guy can clear on auto if he has the fps at 60 or whatever but fails if he turns the fps to 30.

    The way auto works is very silly.

    Unless you’re hurting for arts damage save.

    When farming, do you all looke for the stage with best stamina ratio for the item you need, or best stamina ratio including sub products?
