ZeRoboButler Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 When taking playing Wx-78 you can have the basic experience with the circuits or you can choose to upgrade your circuits further with the associated tinkering perks. At this the this moment, the stat circuits give... damage reduction with the health circuits Reduced effect from negative sanity auras and increase effect of dapperness with the sanity circuits Reduced hunger drain with the hunger circuits A over shield from the bean booster circuit pretty simple but effective, as for the Beta circuits... The speed circuits seem to make it so you are less effected by slowing effects, allowing Wx to move heavy objects faster and to dash through Bee-queen honey and spider silk unimpeded (so good) chorus box acts like a one man band the thermal and refrigerant make you immune to being frozen and fire damage respectively Electrification circuit builds up charge and produces a AoE blast of electricity that will all 3 equipped does 300 damage on a wet target. The illumination circuit becomes a flash light for some reason... one would think this would be how the super version works considering it's smaller, but meh. As for the spatilizer and the range booster I have not the foggiest idea what these do... so some input from those who do would be appreciated. But the big one I want to draw attention to today is the Optoelectronic Circuit's buff from the skill, the buff we got is... A different filter? I will be completely honest, why is this the perk? Should a visual change like this just a be a part of the settings for the same reason that some one doesn't like the flashing of lightning but instead wants it more dim? The really tough part of this for me is, I don't really know what this should do other wise but a filter change just feels off for some reason. I am not really asking for it to make it so Wx and shoot lasers from his head... although... No no, it should be something based off utility. all the beta circuits are based on a utility and the alphas are based on stats, so I would assume that the Gammas may be more active abilities. What could the night vison circuit give beyond less eye strain... oh, well there is an idea (I just thought of it as I was typing lol) It could have the effect of leaving Wx unburdened by the sand storm and the moon storm, perhaps even the miasma too. Thoughts would be welcome and appreciated! 16 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170286-regarding-the-optoelectronic-circuits-buff/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never noticed the new filter, because I used a mod to remove some filters(they make me sick), I agree that this is a waste of skill point if used only for this circuit and the buff should be changed to something else than just a filter. 5 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170286-regarding-the-optoelectronic-circuits-buff/#findComment-1856062 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good idea, considering that circuit cost 4 charges. At this moment I’m just using the one charge light circuit with some op ahah mod, but if it can prevent those annoying effects, I might considering changing it to Opto circuit Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170286-regarding-the-optoelectronic-circuits-buff/#findComment-1856071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should a visual change like this just a be a part of the settings for the same reason that some one doesn't like the flashing of lightning but instead wants it more dim? Yeah it’s really bad. This should just be an accessibility setting. Making this a skill is weird… I like the moggle vision so it’s just a downgrade for me… I don’t want to have to mod the vision back somehow like how people used to mod it out… Id rather it just gain no special effects at all if they can’t think of anything else. Just seems like a useless change. Also the new one notch light circuit completly powercreeps it unless you use zoom plus so what’s the point? 3 hours ago, ZeRoboButler said: What could the night vison circuit give beyond less eye strain... oh, well there is an idea (I just thought of it as I was typing lol) It could have the effect of leaving Wx unburdened by the sand storm and the moon storm, perhaps even the miasma too. Oh yeah and here is the perfect solution for Klei to add. Instead of less eye strain (this should be a setting not a skill), this would be perfect.

Q42 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Great idea, I actually like the moggles filter and the immersion it gives a lot and would rather have a settings toggle for a cosmetic thing like this. 3 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170286-regarding-the-optoelectronic-circuits-buff/#findComment-1856091 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Guy000 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 On the topic of balance changes, the illumination circuit just got hard nerfed. Without the beta 2 skill it gives a miniscule amount of light Kinda hoped that the big one would give the normal light radius around you, and the advanced one would take less space, but turn into an annoying flashlight, but nope. Both work the same, both are useless without the beta upgrade 5 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170286-regarding-the-optoelectronic-circuits-buff/#findComment-1856114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridley Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I like the Night Vision losing the filter. I don't think I could take constant mole vision in my caves base, and now everything always looks so good and crisp.

Ironically after a few tweaks like these are done I'd say the updates pretty much ready to go live already without feeling like it's been rushed which is impressive. 3 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170286-regarding-the-optoelectronic-circuits-buff/#findComment-1856299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good suggestion but if I might add my own, I think it would be neat if the upgraded optoelectric circuit would grant WX-78 soil nutrient vision, like that of the Premier Gardeneer hat. Just figured it'd be a fitting perk for a circuit based on mole-vision. 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170286-regarding-the-optoelectronic-circuits-buff/#findComment-1856426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should a visual change like this just a be a part of the settings for the same reason that some one doesn't like the flashing of lightning but instead wants it more dim? The game has been in need of some accessibility settings for a while (and its own "Accessibility" tab in the settings menu) for the following: Sanity (mainly during the day during winter, it can get pretty bad). Enlightenment (in general). Summer bloom effect (applied only during the day, scales with world temperature, and gets pretty bad during the peak of summer). Pretty much any unique strong (or strongly contrasting) effect like Mole Vision, Nightberry, etc. A bit more unrelated but, camera shake being an on/off toggle without a way to have it on but toned down is also a problem. I made a mod script for myself to lower it so I can get feedback from the game (giant rumbling from being nearby, boat damage/collisions, etc), but without giving me motion sickness with some of the most egregious ones. This should really be a vanilla setting. Some of these are things that people have been asking for a while, mainly due to eye strain. Some people turn them off entirely with mods, but consoles don't get to do that though. So yeah, I agree that rather than making the circuit get a different night vision filter, that should be a setting and the circuit upgrade should be something else instead.
