Fledgling Fyora (1/17)

  1. So I just completed geneforge 1, and anyone who remembers my previous topic will know that my OCD took over completely and began hoarding my living tools to no end. I ended the game with about 150 living tools sitting in my storage room and I used a total of about 20, and that was mostly after I decided I had too many living tools. Here's the catch: I don't want this crippling addiction of never using living tools to impair me through the rest of the series, but I don't want to use them so liberally that I run out completely and cannot access certain areas. I'm playing geneforge 2 as guardian and 3 as agent. How liberally can I use living tools without fear of running out?
  2. Oh, so in the later games I won't be able to use a combination of living tools and unlock? Dear lord that will wreck my OCD. I tend to hoard living tools like gold. I remember the first time I played through the game I reached the west entrance of the geneforge and ran into a 42-living tool lock. I had been using living tools liberally and was never able to get past that door. Every playthrough since I have only used living tools in the most dire of situations.
  3. no no, I'm at "the hill", a little zone just east of power station and north of pentil. These levers are meant the open up doors in the zone. Thanks for the help though! much appreciated! I went to another zone that had a lever not yet pulled (it took fifteen living tools before, now it only takes ten) so it's probably not a glitch or something like that. I know it'll break my poor OCD heart to do so, but I'll just have to break out the living tools and go to work.
  4. I want to figure out what determines a lock's "difficulty" how much each point of mechanics, mental magic, and spellcraft do. I think I may have a glitch but I'm not gonna run around crying just yet. So I'm playing through geneforge 1 again and I came across the zone called "the hill". In this there are an awful lot of levers that said it takes about 2 living tools to unlock them. I fired the unlock spell and nothing happened. This is strange because I read somewhere that the unlock spell gains power through mechanics as well as mental magic and spellcraft. My mental magic and spellcraft were 3 and 1, respectively, and my mechanics was 11. Since I had a level up coming soon I thought I would just forget the locks and buy some points in mechanics. The levelup came around at the hill and I increased my mechanics by three right there on the spot. I ran towards one of the levers and it still said two living tools to unlock the lever. I used unlock again and still nothing happened. Is this normal? how does the mechanics skill work? How does unlock work? Can someone help me?
