SOULMASK: NPCs Skills, Talents, Qualities, Abilities
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- NPCs or Tribemen are the most important mechanic in the game. To understand which NPCs to choose and which not, you need to know to understand how they work. I took a look into their skills and talents and qualities and explain what it means. This is NOT a complete guide as we are still in the process of data collection, but it is a good help for the early and midgame.

By the best guide on this topic I have seen after dozens of other video. Tyvm for making this. Subbed for life
Bravo!!! Thank you for this detailed video I desperately needed.
Concise, smooth and on point. Keep it up. Subbed.
this has been said.. but honestly, the BEST Tribesmen guides otu there! update on the symbol.. not only does it show the strength of the Tribesman, but Color denotes common to Elite (Elite being Red) Thank you Tiia! Keep up the great work! it is SO MUCH APPRECIATED! Much Love
Yea our issues with the colors is, what "makes" them elite. So we had to look into their stats for that. We will do a lot more digging and collecting data as I am a sucker for pretty data tables :D
155 hours after watching this video - my additions would be:
1. Origin doesn't matter very much, and neither do any of the "I'm -50% bad at learning (crafting skill)" - you're going to put them to work so much for so long, and (ideally) you'll have so many of them that the speed they learn won't matter.
2. When looking at skill caps for Camp Workers, look for Tribesmen who have the most values over 90, rather than looking for ones that have a single value at 120. The difference between having a cap of 90-99 and 120 in rarity is a LOT, but the difference in utility is...5-10% - in that one value they have at 120.
EXAMPLE: One of these are objectively better in practice than on paper
Mining: 91
Kiln: 97
Weaponsmithing: 91
Armorsmithing: 96
- VS -
Mining: 87
Kiln: 89
Weaponsmithing: 120
Armorsmithing: 84
@@JonathonBarton I assume you use people for more than one job? We have them dedicated to one task
@@TiiaPlaysStuff Even if you use the "YOU HAD ONE JOB!" 😀method, the time you spend Deterring and Discarding your way through camps to find those 120s in that one job you need is ultimately going to get you, what...5% increase or 6% or something like that (I don't have it open to check at the moment) for that last bonus box? I'll take 95% of the output for 5% of the time - especially if I can stick that person on one "production chain" and cluster all their stuff in one spot.
Last night I set up a new farmer in my central spot (after laying down something like 100 Floor two stories up off the Plains to hold the Farm Plots and Capy/Turkey pens, etc.
The farmer manages the Granary, has two Grinders, A Loom, a Butcher Table and a Kitchen right next to the Granary.
She manages the fields, and when they don't need tending (often), she
gathers "resource" from the outhouse,
Puts it in the Fertilizer Bucket.
Grinds 6 types of items each on the two Grinders, some of which wind up in the Fertilizer bucket, too.
Turns the output of the Cotton field into Yarn and the downstream products (including Aloe products for band-aids) on the Loom
If I've brought back Animal Parts, she grabs those from my "Dump Box", and those are butchered (and the bones ground up for the Fertilizer bucket)
I've tried the 1:1 method, and where I am at the moment (I am not the fastest player, I get sidetracked into Awesome Base Building basically every day. 🤣) using 1:1 would just result in a lot of messages about "I like to work, but we don't have any XYZ, so I'm going to whine about taking a break" - nevermind the extra mouths to feed when they're mostly sitting around or dancing (and getting in other people's way! Curse you, Pathfiniding AI!!!!)
But I can go to basically any camp and find 2 people with multiple 90+ option Proficiencies flexibility to them and have them on the job (whichever are their strong suits) in 15 minutes. I don't have to (as someone on the Soulmask Discord was grumbling about) go through 40 Barbarians to find 3 I want to keep... Generally, I'll keep 3 out of 5. They're not THE BEST at one thing, but they're REALLY GOOD at 5-7 things...
thanks a lot - that was a good overview! keep up the good work!
Thank you for making this video. This part of the game had me scratching my head a lot. It's so important to understand this part, but got lost in it every time
You and me both. I did some deep diving into the mechanics for a few days. I plan on going more theory crafting on it in the future.
much love
Thank you so much!!
thnx for the vid finally a simple and compact vid about the npc's skills especially workers , lots of vids about fighters and skills not so much about workers but i always thought porters was more for armor bc my novice porter has higher armor then my master craftsman but maybe i was just unlucky with my craftsman
fantastic guide! thgnx
Don't forget you can also deter all of the invaders that attempt to invade other NPC tribe's (Flint, Claw, Fang) barracks -- the 'invaders' are a mix of claw, flint, and fang but they go by another name I think Exiled Rebels or Exiled Plunderers or something like that.
Does anybody know how to get the body paint unlocked for other colors because ive recruited about 30 outcasts with green body paint and have not unlocked it yet. Same with hair colors, recruited many with red and orange but nothing has unlocked
Wow, you have a whole clan Dominatrix! I thought I was good with a handful. It also never occurred to me that you want to take over an NPC to be your primary character. I didn't realize the limitations on skill/mastery caps. I'm kinda partial to my starting character...
You simple the best!
nice vids. Thanx.
So far, your channel and Wak's channel are the best Soulmask guide contents.
awesome guide here, btw what is the highest tier icon badge in tribesmen is it the Gold or the Red? cuz I'm not sure what is.
It's red
Great video! You mentioned that you can trade an NPC to another tribe member if it's better for their playstyle. How can we do this? I tried to do it, but I didn't manage to.
It's the last point in their menu (not dismiss, it's below). But I think your friend needs to be online. I sometimes have the menu and sometimes don't.
so is it better to get like alvl 30 thrall and lvl them or if i can catcha lvl 48 or 0 go for it
higher level means they have higher stats to begin with so I would always get as high level as possible but also check that the other stuff fits. I had to dismiss a level 34 gigachad hunter for being devious heart III.
how do you zoom in when looking at them for the extra details? is there an extra key for this?
You long press Q. It has to be unlocked on your mask tho.
Novice
Do we know what exactly what causes traits to turn from negative to positive or simply acquire a new one? I got a new trait when I leveled up a tribesmen, but it was hard to tell looking back if his mood and recognition was high or low if the level from the character triggered it or leveling the proficiency. There's so many factors on this simple mechanic. If it's character level finding a level 1 tribesman will be best because there are more chances then a level 50 tribesmen.
We assume it's random
Is there a way to change your tribesmen appearance when you control them ? It's a shame there is a character creation screen if you're not able to play it through the whole game.
At least not in early and mid tier. There might be something uncraftable that you can only find later on but I have not seen anything yet.
I'm wondering if we are actually an evil god and possesses host that cannot die once masked, is why the intro shows them trying to execute us?
Really interesting theory. We might get more lore on that.
Heya, thx for the Video! Are the tribesmen gonna get more talents by leveling them up?
They do eventually. We are still looking for the trigger that makes them level
If its possible, obviously only if they‘re in a good mood, ty tho!
Does the base area size grow whit updates.? Ex, update bon fires?
No you need additional fires for that
I allways get like 6 to take 1 in the begining so i can choose without having the mask nodes unlocked 😅
Can you tell me the best status for an armorer to produce items? like agility or perception and why?
A Craftsman with high proficiency cap (120+) in armor crafting. In the best case also no negatives that make him learn slower. Perception will give you more chance for extra output while Agility will make him craft faster. I usually try to go for output.
@@TiiaPlaysStuff Doesn't efficiency means they'll produce better quality tools/armor/weapon?
@@Jesus-jb6ho Not to our knowledge. We only have seen increases here when using the proficiency boosts.
@@TiiaPlaysStuff Thanks and thanks for the videos, they are helping a lot. 💖
Potential question. (Nothing in Google) White is the worst and red is the best. What's the order of in-between? What's gold? Thank you.
White, green, blue, purple, yellow, red afaik
I get it now. Thank you and love the voice! :)
Can you change the mastery skill of an NPC? Usually they have bad ones.
When you possess them, press O, click on masteries and then click on the one you wanna use instead and press Space to lock in your choice. If it doesnt have a good one, you mioght have to level them further to unlock more choices.
What levels do they loose their negative perks or gain new ones?
they can loose negatives and gain positives. In our first run, our starter crew ended up with no negatives.
Every 10 levels, I've noticed they have a chance. The higher rarity ones are more likely to do it.
@@Danktartstarting from when you got them or 10, 20, 30 so on?
thanks, great job with this talents, healers ? how can they be healers ?
Some of them have a clan ability on the G button that heals people. I had one that used bandages on people and one that used plant essence. My hunter right now can heal people with plant essence.
Where do you see if a tribe member lost a negative skill and gained a positive one?
Press J and then on the right side is an icon called "Tribe Event" it will show you everything that happened in your Tribe.
Thx for link talents!
how di i increase my lvl to 50? my main char is caped at 40, but my tribe are all 50
you get more levels after you kill the bosses later in the game
@@djzerosum9583 aight thanks !
8:52 I wish. They kept eating from my food chest, I had to lock it.
have you provided food of several categories for them in the table?
vielen Dank für deine hilfreichen Videos Tiia. Besteht die Chance, dass du die auch in deutscher Sprache aufnimmst? Gruß und weiter so 🙂
Was doing tests offline, and it seems Legendary masters can have 6 green perks!
Was that right after recruit or when you capped their extra perks?
@@TiiaPlaysStuff By levelling manually, never found anyone with more than 3 perks.
@@TiiaPlaysStuff After further testing, it's 5 , and it was after speed levelling with cheats to see the results. Now we Know. 5 green perks can be active, though I thought I heard level cap is raised late game so it can be more maybe.
@@user-ui8be2hk6l Thank you for testing that. Thats super helpful.
@@TiiaPlaysStuff Ok more testing. it seems the upgrades unlocking the perks happens at level 10 20 30 40 and 50. WIth a chance to remove a negative trait. SO basically For a level 20 guy you want 2 good perks and not much than 3 bad perks. This way when hitting lvl 50 you will have 5 green perks and no downsides.
"Tribesmen are not slaves to you" meanwhile me: "GET BACK TO WORK BEFORE I GIVE YAS A BEATIN'!"
Mine complain when they dont have enough work 😭
❤
fyi, I circumvented the "first tribesmen" from the bonfire, by deterring and capturing one before getting a bonfire placed.
i accidently killed my first tribesmen, he popped up and i killed him
Not like they aren't in short supply lol. 😜
the thralls are all playable characters
You also can't take over tribe scouts, elites, or priests.....which sucks because they are ususally pretty damn good.
The amount of times I got excited and then I saw its a fricking scout....
@@TiiaPlaysStuff 👍🤣
If you level the mask the character you create caps at 60
my white ones have stats over 120 and my red ones dont xD
They're not slaves?!?! My slaves 1 through 16 beg to differ. No union or proper work conditions for them!!!
I cant wait for them ro rebel against you :D
God damn why did they make the late game so boring .. we need "social activities" to your npcs, for example once you have many and tgey get idle set a few to go arround pumping the others mood (they already dance so part of the work is already done just code it to buff others and a job assignment
Единственная игра про управление командой, где лидер не сильнейший из всех ее членов, а слабейший 😂
