Where be the Cult Altars?

Looking at jobs.xml:

I think <require_gameobject input="enemy" tag="human" not_tag="corpse" not_member_of_a="cultObjects" range="100" must_lock="0" failure_reason="Requires available human target."/> implies that murder targets must be human, alive, and not Cultists.

 

Yeah, Alephred, that's correct. I believe it's supposed to be not just a "random madness killing spree" but more along the line of "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! The unbelievers must dieeeeeeee!" kinda madness.

Btw look at the range. Pretty decent nose on those cultists. Getting a flashback of "Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of a… Christian; be he alive or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread."

One thing I do try is to put down anybody wandering off to build shrines since "<require_character_has_tag tag="has_built_shrine" />" does indicate that each soon-to-be-axe-murderer has to have built their own shrine. But I never manage to catch them all before some are built. At least the troopers never lack target practise

 

I don't know how it happened but I saw a thing I cannot describe. It was pretty awesome.

 

*chuckle* I'm assuming you've seen what's been REDACTED in previous posts I haven't seen it myself yet, but I'm looking forward to unveiling what ever secrets might be in the æther

 

"Laying my head on my hands, glossy eyed, staring at these post... and what is this... a tear.. a drop of salty liquid" This is so beautiful. There is a shrine now my friends. Going to delid my 4770k this evening but will be getting Minions and cultist to build shrines soon. We will all partake in the blood and madness of The Empire!!!

 

I too saw REDACTED, and it was glorious!

The game is really clicking for me now, the little emergent events I was hoping for are starting to gel. I had one colonist with fishy inclinations stand next to a group of fish eggs and rage after he witnessed the death of a fish person. I thought he was stuck there for awhile, but no, he eventually moved on after a few cycles of raging. Standing next to the eggs may have been a coincidence, but it all came together so well.

 

Any idea how one encourages the coming of REDACTED?

 

I have tried to encourage them and have been frustrated in that attempt. When I don't encourage them it just sort of happens. I know it isn't their final form but the pesky colonists keep killing them.

 

Don't victims get killed at the altar? Also, is there some project of cultists getting to build their very own cathedrals of madness when time comes?
