Starting Dupe 'New Hope'

[Slvrsrfr]

The game I started recently has two of the dupes with New Hope Buff, One without... Is this a problem anyone else is seeing? Is it known? Pretty sure I saw it on the last start of this map, but I thought something adverse had happened to wipe it away. Like getting wet, or something. So, this time I was going to be extra careful to not let anything happen the first CY, but it still is not there...bug?

No idea as to what causes it, but that is an impressive level of attention to detail!

leads to a small problem of a 100pt -ish skill point gap by the end of CY1. So, have you seen it as well then. I'm not seeing things?

[Gurgel]

No, I have not noticed this. No idea whether it is happening or not, but I am willing to take your word for it.

Here's how it works.  The first three dupes aren't counted as new simultaneously.  They're counted incrementally.  So the first dupe gets a "new hope" buff from the second dupe, and the second dupe gets a "new hope" buff from the third dupe.  The third dupe, as the last to arrive, does not get a "new hope" buff from the arrival of a new dupe because the first two are already in the game.  So, even though they're all new, only two get the buff.
 

Next time you get a new dupe, check the new dupe.  ALL your dupes EXCEPT the new one should have the "new hope" buff.

That would be "New Friend". "New Hope" goes to all 3 printed dupes, at least in one brief test I did run.

LOL

I swear I wrote the same thing @KittenIsAGeek wrote, then, while checking what's the exact name of the buff is, I've noticed they are two different buffs. Even the wording of message was very similar... for a split second I thought I had posted it by mistake.

LOL.  That ought to teach me not to write a quick answer before darting off to work.  Thanks for noticing my mistake.

If only it were that simple.. work = money for electricity, internet, and food.

That situation sounds familiar

I thought those had distinctions as well. Typically New Hope was on everybody, and then if I made a new dupe they all got new friend... Is my save bugged? I rolled a long time for these dupes I really wish I could roll the dupes before, or select them from a garage.

You probably know this, but if you want to avoid endless re-rolling you might want to try DGSM - Duplicants Generation Settings Manager // by @Ony.  You can always disable it once you've got your first three dupes.

You need to automate most things then You will be able to use more downtime to play video games or use sauna. For electricity turbines are the best.

it's a mod thingy? I'm not good with changing things, it breaks stuff. Then I get frustrated. So, I dont mess with mods. I play vanilla, ty tho'!

And I've not heard of it. I know the mod thread area exists, i glance once in awhile, but....

ah so yeah i looked... I have that stuff kinda I always forget about it... I have the darkness one that carith made, and the bright shine bugs, but I have never actually used it. I simply forget, start playing, and thank my stars that something doesn't go wrong...
