I finished Water Works WITHOUT finding the Rock Raiders the other day! Seriously, I must have glitched it somehow. When Chief said, 'You need to use a Rapid Rider', I drilled everything with a Small Digger, found a couple of Crystals, my Transport Trucks took them back, I got to 20 crystals and everything just started beaming up! I was like oh, do we just leave them there then? Oh well, we got the crystals, who cares about them! They aren't even upgraded! Why did my game do that? What did I do?
ghosty, it looks like the only thing that determines when the level is completed is "GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 19 ? SetLevelCompleted;" The NPL seems to want certain conditions to be met before it considers this line, but it has that quoted line near the top of the script as well as at the bottom, so it ignores needing to find the missing raiders to complete the mission. I'm not that great with NPL scripting so I might be wrong.
@Smaveric But I have had to find the missing Raiders before, even if I had got the crystals. The game seems to randomise this, because it has only happened twice in the 5 times that I have played Water Works.
Rock raiders ALWAYS crashes in the middle of frozen frenzy for me! It happens 2-15 minutes into the game. I could try to just finish it with dynamite really fast, but then I can't get to all the cool stuff. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Millie, I never use the Ore Refinery in the unmodified game because by the time you can build it, the only things left to build are unnecessary, like the Geological Station and Mining Lasers. The Super Teleport isn't that expensive so I build that with raw ore too.
@Xshyboi16X I can't say its the most fun but I have two teams of 9. one that knows how to do everything, and another that has pusher beams with "action stations" always on. Build ur buildings so that their power paths are touching other buildings, but no two solid portions of seperate buildings are touching. For example, if you have the teleport pad and a support station right next to each other, a slimy slug can glitch between them and then your guys won't even fire. (cont'd)
@Xshyboi16X Also, around 30 energy crystals is about ok, if I remember correctly. Don't let the number get close to 45 until you CANNOT FAIL to collect the rest. Let the field be covered in them with collecting crystals set to "Off". Btw, try sonic blasters if you want. Even if your team of nine "Action stations" guys can only hold two items, a pusher beam and a sonic blaster fit. I haven't done it in a while though. As long as the alert stays up they won't grab anything else.
@Xshyboi16X Forget my comment about 30 crystals. If you haven't already beat it, yes, keep ur crystal count under 10. I just beat it last night and I think it can BE 10 as well.
I have some older links to a few places to buy the game in my channel comments. Since I can't post links in the comments, I'll have to direct you to my channel.
I need no assistance with those, and there are no hidden files in Rock Raiders, only hard code that requires EXE modding. The Rockwhale and bat replacements are easy because I can modify existing monster code and create the animations from scratch. I've already made a Rockwhale alpha model and animation and Lair of Rockwhales made the code for it and it works in-game.
You can change the crystal discharge rate to 0 if you want. I do that for all of my lasers because honestly, the crystal drain is stupid and too glitchy.
I hate the stock laser cutters too, which is why mine have rapid-fire drilling ones and slow-firing monster busters that take no energy, and I've also made a heal laser that takes crystals to balance things out. As for overhauls, Baz's Mod is the first overhaul released and I'm working on Time Raiders which focuses more on vehicles and absolutely terrifying levels. Terrifying in that some of the walls explode and seams look like giant faces. This is in the Warped Biome though.
The one thing that annoys me about this game is the huge amount of completly useless vehicles! i think to balance it the laser cutters need to be extremly powerful to cancel out the fact that it drains energy. But apart from that, awesome game .

Don't ever have more than 10 crystals in your inventory at any given time, or CUTOFF TECHNIQUE. I won't tell you more until I get to Back To Basics.
