![]() ![]() The Caestus Metalican (your voidship in orbit), where you can rank up and equip your tech priests and check the rosters of equipment, troops, and available missions Mechanicus is divided into three main areas: Whether the planet is reduced to ashes, shut down for a more thorough looting, or you die in the attempt is up to you. ![]() The bottom line is that once the tomb is fully awake, you'll have to confront the Necrons at their full power, and leave the planet. There are plot decisions and such, guided by the other characters aboard the Caestus Metalican, but the storyline isn't the purpose of this guide. To reflect this, you need to keep track of Awakening, probably the most important mechanic in the game as it informs almost every decision you'll make. Opposing you are the Necrons, who will seek to kill you at every turn, but are also an effectively insurmountable foe once the tomb is fully awake. You control a cohort of TechPriests and troops, searching through newly discovered Necron tombs on the planet of Silva Tenebris to recover Blackstone (basically XP) and lost STC patterns (blueprints), trying to take/recover as much resources as you can within a limited timeframe. There are a LOT of topics for certain things that show up in the forums, either asking if something is a bug or complaining that it doesn't work the way they think it should. I'm also going to put important things that newbies miss in bold underlined to draw attention to them. I'll also try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible by only describing the mechanics, not the specifics of any of the missions or the lore of the setting, but there's bound to be minor spoilers just in describing the tactics needed for the enemies. If there's something I missed, let me know in the comments and I'll see about adding it. I'll keep adding to this over time as I discover new things. This is my first guide for a game, so my presentation is probably going to be a bit rambling until I get things better organised. ![]() Now you have more than enough consoles to smash to roll back the awakening timer that you can have 0% Awakening for numerous missions and can generally complete all of the missions and all of the DLC on a single playthrough with only a little forethought.Ĭurrent as of patch 1.06 (an upcoming balance patch could change a lot) Once upon a time it was 3% to encourage players to try and explore a bit without it counting against them, but with the addition of other missions things were changed to allow more room. Most of the info is still relevant, even if a few of the numbers are now incorrect.ĮDIT 2022 - at the request of Kwic, adding this note - the minimum Awakening for a given mission was removed a few patches back. Until then, this guide will sit in its current state. Still waiting for a major balance update that fixes a lot of issues (as of 2022, there was a major balance update but it didn't really fix the issues, although difficulty settings helped). EDIT- not sure I'm going to continue updating this, given that the game has mostly died out at this point. ![]()
