Lorewise, Warcaskets are a side grade to Powerarmor. It is both stronger and cheaper, as the suit is just plates of armor crudely crafted onto the human body. Fine Finger control and taking the suit off goes bye bye. Your first warcasked comes a lot easier in research and crafting than your first power armor, and it is better for combat too, but your guy is now locked in forever in doing ONLY combat. As your techlevel goes up, later Powerarmor will become stronger than Warcaskets, but on the same level these rules always apply.
@@keztannis6848 Doesn't matter cuz you can (or should be able to) add an exception, so potentially you could make the sleep casket only allow thrumbos in them, for ex.
Right? They are funny, they are disgusting. They are a poopoo peepee joke, which will always be funny. Well, you'd be surprised at how many people got quite angry about it...
I love combining the shock war caskets with a pond that has the skip door ability from vanilla pycast expanded so I can teleport an entire army across world seamlessly and then have him fly back by himself after the fight is done.
Yeah this mod is pretty impressive but man that length of this video! In depth and succinct at the same time. You've definitely up your quality of writing and editing there.
Cheers dude, after messing around with the audio after hayfever made the last 2 videos a nightmare to record I've even got a new setup to try for that too. So hopefully the quality of these things just keeps going up and up!
I once played a colony with curse of darkness and curse of blind, so there was basically no warning for night-time threats until they were at the doorstep, it was honestly a pretty fun challenge even if it was quite different to your regularly scheduled rimrim.
No because warcaskets un lore are failed prototypes that made before power armor and are weaker than power armor the empire use more advanced power srmor than warcasketz
Good video, I love VFE Pirates, but you did forget to mention the new funeral in the ideology tab, it allows you to entomb a colonist in a sarcophagus warcasket in death. Love your videos!
Yeah, I very much agree that this is VE Warcaskets, it's been the one thing keeping me from permanently including it for the pirate theme that happens to be on the side. It's a nice mod, but strays quite a bit from the marketed theme.
Yeah. I wish the empire had access to the cataphract war caskets since cataphract's are a part of their culture. Limiting them just to the junkers feel a bit like a miss.
@@epiczombiedoctor5961 Well that too, yeah. The empire not using the futuristic power armour for their genetically engineered soldiers is a little weird in retrospect.
Given Oskars love of caskets, I'm kind of surprised that the Empire faction release didn't have a couple of unique options that require a royal backstory to install. Prestige Caskets or something that up Psycasting stats and satisfy a nobles clothing needs.
I love curse of bandana + shooting specialist + trigger happy. Screw burst weapons, miniguns, etc. Single shot weapon become high damage, high penetration machine gun.
Man I hope the ve guys heard the suggestion at the end I’ve also found that the pirate stuff though cool was tacked on with the warcaskets and maybe an empire sized overhaul to pirates as a faction
6:31 actually reminds me of RA2 Navy Seal Rum also provides nutrition on par with a full meal iirc Sarcophagus warcasket can also be used in Warcasket funeral to revive a pawn to serve again
Once upon a time I had a pawn with the barrage armor, a casket minigun and VFE ancients perfect aim, double range, and reduced cool down. That pawn solo’d any and all raids to the point where o started a new colony because she was too OP
I personally have a Barrage with a minigun as well, but instead of having perfect aim stuff from Ancients (which I don’t have downloaded at the moment) I have a shoulder charge turret from LTS Integrated Implants (I think 2 actually, haven’t checked) which legit makes him look like an Undertale boss, literal bullet hell.
I really love this mod my main complaint is how underwhelming the weapons are the minigun sounds and looks amazing but its stats are abysmal when compared to a normal minigun the only one i think is actually worth taking and making is the slug thrower shotgun which just turns enemies into a fine paste as the pawn in the casket laughs
I don’t know why this happened in my game, but hiring mercenaries from enemy factions is just impossible. Yes, it is logical but the problem is that you can PAY for them but no pawn will be droped on your colony. So be careful when hiring them, first try get 1 cheapest option for 1 day, if no one come then you know not to spend money. I think that is UI problem but I am not sure
It'll be a bad mod interaction, hard to know without seeing what else you're running. By itself the hiring mechanic in Pirates works perfectly, so the problem is coming from something else. Always make sure you've got the most recent versions of dependencies installed and ordered correctly too.
Iirc correctly that is a patched interaction from QoL/tweak mods, can't put my finger on which one though... Tweaks Galore maybe? Seems too OP for FSF tweaks.
@@MysteriousFawx Don’t remember having any of those mods. But I do have a lot of QoL mods plus I removed EDB after watching one of your vids games running at 100-250 ticks now vs the 50 late game
I wonder about ice-shard damage (that served me well against Vanilla Mechanoids Enchanted from Rimwolrd of magic) against warcascets. Also there is something like that done to vetaran, but maimed space marines in Warhammer 40000?
Space marine dreadnoughts have guys on life support inside them basically. Too knackered to fight in normal armour but too experienced to let die. The ice beam from frostcaster used to be one of the most efficient ways of killing caskets as hypothermia is lethal to practically everyone, the advanced ones do a pretty good job of resisting it now.
Warcascets are a very interesting element of the mod, but they are in my opinion kind of hampered by their late availability. Early warcascets are honestly not that great by mid game - 106% sharp is an equivalent of a normal marine armour - by the time you get the ability to produce these on your own - normal quality marine armour is going to be exceptionally poor. This is the same downside with the weapons - always normal quality. The baseline stats of those weapons are good, but I'm not quite convinced they are worth loosing on quality modifiers - especially if you have access to legendary quality gear. The fact that these armours do not deteriorate is a good thing, but they give you somewhat false sense of security if you rely on them too much. The truly good warcascets starts with Barrage type - because this is the moment they start mathching the Legendary quality armour. The range and accuracy buff of it is just great. Wonderful choice for shooting specialists. Brute is the beast for any melee guy you put in it, plain and simple. Guardian is a good choice if you can't decide what to get, to be honest - it is a good "soldier" option if you can afford it. Sarcophagus a cheesy beast, but if you want to maintain its usefulness... you better have the way of restoring the body parts. Siegebreaker, if you can afford it, is your absolute best friend in prolonged engagements, if you need a ranged tank, basically. A good frontliner companion for you barrage warcascets. As for weapons - I have encountered a bug when warcascet pirate raids occasionally spawn wielding those... while not wearing warcascets - and they use them just fine. Might be a conflict with something else I use. As for the weapons, there are few that I find viable. But they also epitomise my issues with them. The accuracy is a persistent problem due to lack of quality modifiers. Warcascet autorifle is basically a higher damage, higher range charge rifle - basic weapon, but a good one... Except accuracy, which is that of a normal charge rifle. Shotgun is amazing for that it is. Charge lance is one genuinely scary weapon. The cannon is also deceptively dangerous in enemy hands. Bottom line - Warcascets are amazing IF you can enhance your pawns accuracy or if you want to go fool melee - this makes them a good choice for shooting specialists who are locked out from most of the work anyway or for brawlers. That said - their late appearance in the tech tree kind of hampers them, when you consider that normal armour of high quality can achieve similar levels of protection and higher quality crafted weapons are in general better - especially when you also consider Vanilla Expanded weapon choices - Anti Material Rifle, Charge SMG, Charge LMG and Charge Shotgun from this mod wipe the floor with most of the weapons that Warcascets have available. Siegebreaker Armour from Apparel Expanded gives you a lot of the same utility as Siegebreaker Warcascet in a more flexible form as well. They are amazing for flavour, and enemy pirate raids become the whole new level of challenge, which is in itself very fun indeed.
This is the first time I see the cannon work. I had this mod in every run and every mod list since it came out, but the cannon always A) costs nothing to built and B) aims forever and never gets a shot off
Overhaul or Faction? Waiting on the release of Medieval 2 for the faction coverage and Overhaul is on the list for when the VE Faction series has caught up with all currently released content.... now *that* will be a big video.
Looks like it needs a patch to make it work, even though it's not been updated since 2022, people on the comments are saying it still works. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2755004155
Never mix Warcasket parts: The helmet and shoulder usually gives a buff to whatever ability the core armor has, and the parts are not different enough to justify giving up on that. Warcasket are usually useless, not as bad as Heavy Weapons, but the lack of quality puts them forever behind in the arms race. If you don't have a high crafting pawn, not being able to get below normal might be nice, but I would take an Excellent Assault Rifle over all of them. Taking a warcasket weapon on your first warcasket is a classic noobtrap. Between Speed and Protection, always take Protection. This game usually puts you on the defending side, even if you are attacking they will come to you. The Aerial Warcasket is the best of them all, as the weakness of all warkasted is now a strong point. Even if you are fighting long range, you can just jump from cover to cover once the enemy closes in, or bunnyhop in a group that is ganging up on you.
Mostly true but I don't agree that Warcaskets are useless. Warcasket knife and broadsword have a very good dmg. Warcasket slug thrower is just OP. Other weapons are just mediocre at best but those 3 weapons which I mentioned are very good. Warcaskets are also VERY cheap. You just spend some components, uranium and steel to get good fighters. Sarcophagus Warcasket is just crazy and it is the best warcasket. Barrage Warcasket is also good. You get 2 abilities, very good protection and you just need mostly steel.

It kinda seems like the empire and deserters should have their own war caskets ngl
Hopefully one day. It would make prime story telling to be a group of rebels that managed to hold of the imperial's finest.
That’s probably what the Cataphract caskets are intended to be
Just a matter of I’m 90% sure empire doesn’t use warcaskets
No because warcaskets un lore are failed prototypes that made before power armor and are weaker than power armor the empire use more advanced power srmor than warcasketz
So this is the mod that adds warcaskets! Seen them come up in casual conversations a lot, but had no idea where they were from x3

No worries! I have to double and sometimes triple check this stuff because everything kind of blurs into one at some point.
