25. #25Psycast

    Keys: Psycast, Psylink, Psychic, Anima

    Enabled · Order 100

    Entry settings

    Psycast Psycasts are psychic powers available to people with psylink levels.

    An organic connection to a larger psychic field. This allows a person to psychically induce a distant archotech superintelligence to influence reality in ways that seem impossible. Higher levels of psylink permit the use of more powers. Regardless of psylink level, a person can only use specific powers that they have learned. Psylink comes from a variety of sources. Single-use psylink neuroformer devices can create a psylink. Tribal peoples also know how to develop it through ritual linking with the legendary anima tree. As a physical phenomenon in the brain, psylink is poorly-understood by scientists, not least because it seems to actively conceal itself if studied too closely. One thing most agree on is that it somehow connects people to archotechs and harnesses their power, possibly through some sort of negotiation or sympathy mechanism.

    To use psycasts, one must first have a Psylink level equal to or greater than the level of the chosen psycast.

    Mechanic: A psycaster's effectiveness is controlled by three primary factors: their Neural Heat Limit, their available Psyfocus and the Psychic Sensitivity of their target.

    Despite being called "heat", neural heat is not a measure of temperature. It refers to a type of chaotic psychic energy in the mind which is built up when using psychic powers and dissipates over the course of a few seconds or minutes. If neural heat is pushed past normal limits, it may cause temporary psychic breakdown and unconsciousness due to psychic shock. These conditions don't cause permanent damage.

    Psyfocus: Psyfocus is a special type of mental structuring which is necessary to use psychic powers. Psyfocus dissipates over time, and must be built by regular meditation. Losing all psyfocus makes someone unable to use psychics, but has no other consequences. Higher levels of psyfocus permit higher-level powers, but also increase the rate of psyfocus dissipation

    Keys: Faction, Outlander, Tribe, Pirate, Empire

    Enabled · Order 100

    Entry settings

    Factions are organisations whose members may appear as visitors, traders, guests, or raiders depending on the faction's type and relationship with the player's faction, or in their own faction bases around the map. For most factions, the relationship between them and the player can vary depending on the actions the player takes. This can result in allies sending reinforcements or trade caravans, or new enemies to raid you. Other factions are permanently hostile and exist only to send attacks.

    There are several types of factions:

    Tribes: These people have been here a very long time. Maybe their ancestors crashed here a thousand years ago. Maybe they survived some cataclysm that destroyed a technological civilization here. In any case, the tribals are a mostly nomadic people who live off the land using primitive tools and weapons. Despite their apparent technological weakness, the tribals can be dangerous enemies and valuable friends because of their skill with low-tech warfare, their numbers, and their hardiness.

    Outlander: These people have lived here for decades or centuries, and have lost most of the technology that brought them to this world. They usually work with simple machinery and defend themselves with advanced gunpowder weapons. They are concerned with the practical matters of trade, trust and survival.

    Pirates: A loose confederation of pirate gangs who've agreed to mostly fight outsiders instead of fighting each other. Pirates don't sow, they don't build, and they rarely trade. Driven by a blood-and-honor culture that values personal strength and ruthlessness, they enrich themselves by raiding and robbing their more productive neighbors. Their technology level depends mostly on who they've managed to steal from recently. Mostly they carry gunpowder weapons, though some prefer to stab victims at close range.

    Empire: An ultratech refugee society from another planet, organized along feudal lines. They lived for thousands of years in a stable multi-planet empire with a strict caste system, an intricate code of warrior ethics, and enforced cultural stasis. Invaded by powerful outsiders, they fled. Despite losing almost all of their people, their fleet and technology still make them powerful. They will refuse to trade with anyone who lacks the appropriate royal title.

    Entry settings

    Anima trees acts as a meditation focus and source of psylinks for pawns with the Natural focus type, but is sensitive to artifical structures around it.

    They are a rare biological life, finding one is quite the rare occurence.

    Anima trees are immune to fire, toxic fallout, can survive up to -50 °C (-58 °F), and will survive in the absence of light.

    Meditating at an Anima tree requires a Natural meditation focus, which a pawn can only gain from their childhood background. Only Tribal backstories can have the focus type, and several of them do not provide it. Pawns do not need to have psylink levels to meditate. Schedule meditation and place a meditation spot so that your colonists will actively meditate near the tree.

    Meditation at the tree serves two purposes; firstly, it grows anima grass for the granting of psylink. Secondly, it acts as the second best meditation focus, after animus stones, for Natural meditation, increasing the rate at which psycasters meditating to the tree gain psyfocus.

    Meditating near an anima tree creates anima grass around the base of the tree. Once at least 20 grass has been grown, a level of psylink can be granted to a pawn with the Natural meditation focus type. They can live for as long as 60 days before withering.

    Anima grass is created proportional to the hours spent meditating to it. Multiple pawns can meditate at the same time to speed up the spawning of the anima grass.

    The linking ritual takes approximately 5 hours and requires 20 anima grass.

    This ritual can grant a psylink to a pawn without one or improve the level of an existing psylink; even one granted using a psylink neuroformer or through an Empire bestowing ceremony. This only works on pawns with the Natural meditation type and a non-zero psychic sensitivity. Children cannot link to the anima tree. Once the ritual is complete, 20 anima grass will die, and one new grass will sprout for every participant of the ritual. Any remaining or regrown grass can then be used for future linking rituals.
