I did Degredation and Religionism first, a lot of good stuff in there. But then I tried Youth Preferentialism and didn't really see any events. Which ones have the most and least content?

Help I am new here. How activate cheat or modify can you help?

I am pleased to bring everyone the 0.4.0 release I've been working on.

https://gitgud.io/ghioasdf/fc-lastcivilization/-/releases/0.4.0

Release notes:

• Tension system
  • The tension system has been completely redone. The slave population and each citizen social strata react in a nuanced and complex way to circumstances around the arcology. Put way, way too simply: Things a population likes will calm it down. Things they don't like will incite them. Suppression and intimidation work, up to a point. Populations will resist and demonstrate before they rebel, but if they are pushed too far, they will rebel. More information is on the wiki, at: https://gitgud.io/ghioasdf/fc-lastcivilization/-/wikis/player/security-and-rebellion
• Combat engine
  • The combat engine has also been completely redone. The new combat engine simulates unit-on-unit conflicts. It is heavily inspired by hex-based strategy games. Combat still resolves automatically, and your role is to provide resources and set the stage for success. When your Warfare skill is high enough, you will unlock a war game simulator, accessible from the Other menu and the Barracks, so you can test it thoroughly. Rebellions from the Tension system use this engine, as do outside attacks. More information is on the wiki, at: https://gitgud.io/ghioasdf/fc-lastcivilization/-/wikis/player/secexp/battles
• Special Force update
  • The Special Force mod has been updated to work with the new combat engine. It has been pared down and focused much more to fit with the scale of the game. The Special Force can contribute elite units to your armies if they are developed. It is still very much optional. More information is on the wiki, at: https://gitgud.io/ghioasdf/fc-lastcivilization/-/wikis/player/secexp/special-force
• OPFOR revamps
  • Enemy forces fight differently, and pursue different goals, and cost you different things if you lose to them. Certain OPFORs don't even need to win a main conflict to 'win', they are instead after a specific objective. More information is on the wiki, at: https://gitgud.io/ghioasdf/fc-lastcivilization/-/wikis/player/secexp/battles#who-rises
• UI work
  • Thanks to HandHandler, the UI has been updated heavily, providing a cleaner look that handles different resolutions much better. The entire game SHOULD now support screen readers and mobile-width screens. (File bugs if you find gaps here, please.) Weather also shows some basic graphics.
• Community suggestions and input
  • A new egg reprofiler implant, which allows you to rewrite the egg cells of an implantee with a specific genome. This allows for a pregnancy to be carried by a surrogate mother from conception. Health status and unification. Health is now consistent over the entire codebase; no longer will one screen claim a slave is healthy, while another claims she is near death. 2 new Meeting Hall cases, from community contributors.
• Bugs
  • Roughly 200 bugs fixed, most upstream from pregmod, but there are also 19 user-reported issues that were fixed. See the full loadout here: https://gitgud.io/ghioasdf/fc-lastcivilization/-/blob/0.4.0/devNotes/fixes-0.4.0.md
• Other stuff:
  • Security Expansion is now on by default. You can still turn it off, but at this point there is so much of the game that's gated behind it, it only feels right to turn it on by default. Certain features that didn't fit (like the really weird stuff from the Special Force, such as its Missile Silo) have been removed in order to tighten up designs. On existing saves, money spent on these things will be quietly refunded to you. 0.3.3 saves should load just fine. In the base game, armyless arcologies never get attacked. That is no longer the case. If you are playing Security Expansion, as is the new default, you will need an army.

Question is simple. What exactly prevents us from letting ChatGPT finish Free Cities entirely? And I am not saying this would have to be the final game (before we maybe start devepling free Cities two on a better more modern codebase and engine), but wouldnt it be incredibly helpful to have a finished version already even if its not perfect?

Just asking as I am trying to learn game development as a hobby right now. Sadly its no longer a viable careerpath imo so I cant focus on it full time.

On src/js/wombJS.js, line 240-246 I notice this:

/**

* Should be used to set biological age for fetus (ageToAdd), AND chronological (realAgeToAdd).

* Speed up or slow down gestation drugs should affect ONLY biological.

* @param {FC.HumanState} actor

* @param {number} ageToAdd

* @param {number} realAgeToAdd

*/

Would it work? I've been trying to speed it up by changing minlivebirth value (failed), speed it up in clinic (need to be in clinic 24/7), and the gestation drug (bad for health=clinic). I'd want fast pregnancy while allowing them to be active, so I could also accept eliminating the effects of fast gestation drugs. There's also readyAge that affects WombBirthReady though idk how it would affect the pregnant belly sprite

Alpha 40 of Pregmod just released.

Release notes

One FS I've struggled with is Gender Radicalism. Mainly, what other FS to build around it.

What do your futa-themed arcologies look like? I'm fishing for ideas.

My current idea is to combine it with a revivalism of some kind.

How do you interact with GSP, what does it even mean? My archeology is profitable, has all upgrades that I can see, but it's GSP is at 0m. My neighbors are also at 0 or 1. Except for one that I took over and assigned an attendant, who has now gotten it back up to 7m on their own?

running on pregmod 0.10.7. 1

Hi everyone!

Wanted to share a major update: after lots of work was finally able to port over NoX/Deepmurk’s vector art from FC to FCO!

Also weight gain, piercings, hair modification, outfits, assignments and much more has been added! Hopefully we continue to capture the magic of the original game while also expanding on your ability to interact with slaves in unique ways.

See example

The game is available to download here or can be played online here (mobile not supported)

Thanks again for everyone who reached out, offered suggestions and even helped us! And of course all credit goes to FCAuthor, NoX and Deepmurk for the vector art. You can always follow our development on discord

Note: Just like FC we are under GPLv3 so all ported over code and assets are free to use same as for FC.

I'm not really into AI image generation, but I do really enjoy the ability to talk to my girls. I've had some decent success with my setup, but with how fast AI is developing I feel like there must be some great new models and systems people have working out there. I wish I could just have one of the new flagship models like Claude Sonnet handle textgen, but are there any new killer local models or apps that are good for the characters in this game?

Hey everyone,

As I keep pushing forward on my fork, I'm invariably going to be touching powerful pieces of functionality. Rather than build entirely in isolation, I want to provide a spot for people to give initial reactions so I can course-correct a bit if need be.

This thread is pretty simple. I will be providing a rundown of the upcoming feature, complete with my design and proving process, and then I will be largely shutting up and letting everyone else give feedback, reactions, and concerns.

I am forbidding myself from engaging if I am not asked a question. Even then, I will try to narrowly answer the question, rather than say a bunch of extra stuff. The reason behind this is pretty simple. As the fork maintainer, me saying something can kill conversation as people wonder what else there is to say. So, me doing a Long Listen will hopefully address that.

Now then, to the main event.

The flagship update for the 0.4.0 release will be an overhaul of SecExp's tension system. Currently, it is largely a no-op where you pay a toll of money to set tensions to mostly nonexistent, and ignore it from there. As part of this overhaul, I have to look at the consequences of tension. That means I looked at the combat system in the game - the one where you send your soldiers and drones against external and internal threats.

This system has a reputation for being very swingy and all or nothing. As I dug into it, it became obvious why. The system, at its core, is an I-go-you-go turn based engine that attempts to simulate large scale conflicts. This is a fundamentally flawed approach for a bunch of reasons that I won't lecture everyone with, but it seems like the programmers of it were even aware of how flawed it was, because I found a couple of situations where the game actually cheated for the enemy. I never knew that because it is so trivially easy to just wipe out the enemy forces, until one day, they trivially wiped you out. There's a very, very narrow band between 'trivial' and 'impossible'.

I realized I had to make an entirely new system if I wanted to get what I needed. Ultimately, what I needed was a system that could simulate many different kinds of opposing forces, with different goals, different victory conditions, and different consequences for losing. The last part is also quite integral, because losing in the base game is pretty brutal most of the time. I need a combat tool where you can lose a conflict and have very targeted consequences, only a couple of which will be so horrible that you consider reloading rather than taking the L. I consider that a failure state in either my design, or my communication.

The first thing I did was absorb what kind of scale I was working with. The game considers an army of a few thousand to be a 'huge' army, so I could safely ignore anything bigger than that. But early game also wants some quite small engagements, and the strategy level already does a pretty good job of modeling a lot of that. Individual elements made up of X number of bodies, with individual unit statuses. That part is OK, as is the general division of play - we're here to play a management game, not a tactics game. The autobattle nature of things is correct.

I like to start using other games as instructive guides, and finish with real-life equivalents. If my design confirms a lot of real-life equivalents, it's probably pretty solid.

My mind immediately went to the ____ General games (Fantasy General, Panzer General, etc), and in the process of tinkering with the lessons that those hex-based games taught me, I ended up referring to MENACE.

In MENACE, I found a solid basis in terms of how to configure and treat the elements we already have in the game such that they would make sense in the simulation we're trying to create. Starting from there, I got some basic soldier types that Free Cities already has you fighting, and added in weapon classes they would reasonably use. MENACE bootstrapped me up with some other basic concepts like cover, weapon range, and morale cascades.

I replaced the battle map with a basic frontage to borrow the concept of combat width. This is the first fundamental thing that separates the new combat engine from the old. With frontages, I can now simulate corridor fights and rugged terrain.

This combines with the other major change. With individual elements now expressible, we go from a strict I-go-you-go turn based setup to an interleaved turn setup. This gives the slack for complex and closely matched fights to turn out differently, rather than everything being decided by alpha strikes.

I then went about testing the hell out of this and tuning numbers. I spent days on making sure that truly even fights boiled back to even, that disciplined troops could hold against substantially more undisciplined bodies in the correct circumstances. Disciplined, higher-tier troops win when outnumbered between 2-3x in the open field, but when outnumbered 4:1, they will start to crack. However, in a tight corridor, even 4x won't do the job. Terrain and cover matter now.

Then, very slowly, I went about adding special weapons to provide counters to various units and setups. I added an Autocannon specifically to destroy cover, while also putting in Deployable Cover so defensively minded units could dig in. I put in a gas launcher to counter massive swarms of bodies, while also putting in a DMR to crush the discipline of professional units. All of these were simmed out in thousands upon thousands of trials, conclusively proving out that the sweet spot of "interesting fight" was actually something I could configure toward.

Once I had that, I was able to configure for different OPFORs, made by different conditions, coordinated over different individual theaters that make up an entire conflict, articulating different consequences if they win. A slave rebellion consists mostly of desperate slave regiments with SMGs, but their only real goal is to punch through a specific route to the exterior of the arcology, liberating as many menials as they can along the way. A middle-class citizen rebellion instead will use a mixture of mobs and professional operators to damage key infrastructure, hoping to loosen your grip on their strata by humiliating you and destroying your automation potential. Your upper class citizens, meanwhile, will fund a bunch of very slick operators (potentially in clown masks) to blow open your vaults and take every dime.

The next question was about furnishing commanders, which the game already supports, but the current system turns into almost a no-op. The prose surrounding it aside, the math made your choice of commander basically meaningless. Since I was still committed to sticking to the duality of 'user furnishes, battle resolves itself', I decided to stick the commander in as the needed middle manager for deployment. An unskilled commander deploys the soldiers you've furnished them randomly, a somewhat skilled commander has type matchups that they will prefer, but a truly skilled commander is allowed to run the matchups through the combat simulator that acted as the proving grounds. The commander is allowed to sim out the theater based on a few seeds, and will choose the battle plan that sims the best. This actually has an enormous impact. In the same theater setup, a low-skill commander loses 78% of the time in the simulator, over 3000 trials. A high-skill commander only loses 38% of the time.

All of this leaves one last, burning question: How on earth will a player ever understand all of the detail behind what I've done here, or grasp how to be a good general?

Well, fortunately, I still have the combat sim. And I see no reason why a player that's studied warfare shouldn't have access to it.

While I still have a lot of fit and finish to do, I am delighted to show off the wargame simulator, working and in game:

Everything in that image works, though the UI is behind cheat mode and in the main branch, unreleased, until the aforementioned fit-and-finish is done. Still, it is entirely reasonable for you to just say "show me how the citizens 1st, 2nd, and 3rd platoons perform against this enemy preset, and give me the results aggregated over 100 engagements". You can get a grasp of how your army - not some theoretical army, the one you have in this game - performs against real threats pretty quickly. And you can see how your AI commanders make their decisions so you can have a general idea of how they will accomplish tasks. You can also experiment with giving them different special weapons and see how that does, or doesn't move the needle.
Thanks to HandHandler, a wonderful contributor on the repository, the building blocks for a mobile-reactive environment are also working. The new UI takes advantage of those blocks by adding the appropriate phone-width boards.

When I first started my modding journey I believe I was doing something for a solid few weeks till I found I was using simply comfy ui button . Get rid of it add everything needed for code to point to comfyui active sandbox workflow so it runs on the front end or make a comfyui custom workflow that actually works because I followed step by step custom workflow and it's broken doesn't work trash garbage useless link useless information dead end .

Thought about deleting everything in simple comfyui and having ai write code to build a track to whatever is on your active screen in comfy ui without the export API every single time I make a slight change . I feel that way the games stuck in 2017 when it first came out .

I've also thought about updating the twine and sugar cube as it's outdated

I have code built to make characters as large as possible yet I have run into a wall outdated program or a non functional instruction.

I've got the workflow communicating through FC, the game just doesn't seem to be sending the prompt to ComfyUI. Have all ndoes and workflow works outside of FC. Anyone got any ideas or guidance on how to run these mtype of models (ZIT, Anima etc.)

edit: was because of a game bug. fix here: https://old.reddit.com/r/freecitiesgame/comments/1wooh2z/fix_for_ai_gen_custom_workflow_latest_build/

Is there a way to send every slave above a certain Deadliness threshold to the Arena, by using the Rules Manager?

There is an issue in the current code from 2 months ago in commit 2b78631d that breaks custom workflows. It ignores the seed and prompts.

If you are building from git code, undo this bit starting at line 738 src/art/genAI/workflows.js

if (node_title.match(exp)) {

if (exp === "seed") {
promptWorkflow[prompt_id].inputs.seed = part;
} else {
promptWorkflow[prompt_id].inputs.text = part;
}
promptWorkflow[prompt_id].inputs.value = part;
successful_prompts.push(exp);
break;
}

re-add lines in bold and remove/comment strikethrough line
and recompile

edit: i've discovered why the change was implemented. If you don't want to maintain your own branch of code, make the change in your comfyui workflow to use text primitives to link to the text input of your clip text encoders and name the text primitives "positive prompt" and "negative prompt", don't name the clip text encoders. use an int primitive to link to your seed and name it "seed" instead of using a seed generator.

he crode i crode she crode we all crode

Okay. Legit question though, I feel like my plastic surgeon's been booked for like 10 weeks straight because I keep putting my pc through that stuff, but I can't find it, so I'm assuming not. If it's not possible yet, all it means is that I'll stay with a pussy right now. But a man can perhaps dream 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Hi everyone,

It’s been a couple years since my last update to FCO, but I remade the entire game in React and wanted to share / get some feedback here. Thanks to all my supporters throughout the years and thanks to this community for helping to guide the vision!

You can play the game online and download it on my here.

Also if you are interested in following every update and help develop / guide the game in real-time please join our Discord

Some images of the updated version can be found here on F95

How does one perform it? I have no idea, I can't see it... I fucked up and put a breast mesh via autosurgery on some slaves, and well, one of them has string implants and I can't remove it. T'was my fuck up, haven't played in a long while, forgot a lot of stuff (idk if I even knew they existed back then, I didn't look at everything in rule assistant especially surgery related stuff). Maybe at this point I should just transfer her consciousness, but hey, I still wanna know. Thanks in advance! Love this game it's fun as hell

I'm trying to set up a rule so that any slave that's got a cum addiction gets their diet set to "Cum Added" but I can't figure out how. I can't really wrap my head around coding works so some help getting this set up would be appreciated

yes I'm aware I could just make a rule where milk is added to their diet when under a certain weight, but I've already got a "weight correction" rule set to bring their weight up or down if they or under or over weight, and I want to add milk to their diet only when they're set to weight gain, but not weight loss, without making a new rule for it. I read on another thread that a milk diet can help with weight gain, which is why I'm trying this

I tried this:

c => c.slave.weightDirection === "GainingWeight" && c.slave.DietMilk === "supplemented"

but it didn't do anything

I've downloaded an archive of all my images and I have no idea where it got sent. Where does that archive go, and also where are these images stored on my drive usually?

Okay, so the base game is a good framework, while pregmod and last civ are good expansions on it.

My ultimate question to y'all is this: what else would you want added or expanded?

I've always thought the arena could use more, and I've also been wanting demi humans since forever.

But what else?

I dont really want to install an ai to do it ingame but i would like to find whatever it uses to generate the pic and do it myself. Playing on Pregmod.
