Teleport option

[Duke]

Can I teleport my squad or "drag"them to an area using the editor or mods? I dont want to spend a whole hour running in the fog and being attacked by canibals

[Springwiesel87]

no..

[Hatsune Neko Gaming]

there is not.

Technically speaking, it is probably possible via save game editing. But you'd have to put in the coordinates manually, which also requires already knowing them...

So, no.

You could probably get the coordinates using the ingame editor, and then with a save game edit, change the location of your group, but not sure if adding everyone to the exact same coordinates is a good idea, it could bring in various bugs like depending on how the game handles it you could have characters stacked on top of each other.

I've never seen a place to find them in the editor. I've looked a fair bit, but had no luck. Have you actually seen them in there? Or was it just speculation?

The characters would be fine. They'd just spawn and shove each other out of the way until they all had room.

Oh I just meant something along the lines of selecting the town marker object, which should give coordinates, as to the save game editor, well that's speculation, but I'd assume for debugging purposes we are able to change the position of characters.

Ah right makes senses for that, with the characters moving around and such. Just thought I'd give a warning about bugs being a thing.

You can do what I do. My main character, the one from starting the game, has like close to 90 athletics. So I have her run to a location with the time increased to 3x and nothing can catch her. Then when she reaches the location I save the game, then load selecting the option to reset squad position I think it's called. When the game loads all my guys appear where my main character is.

Hmm that seems like a bug lol, reset squad position is supposed to set everyone to a default position in border zone area (I keep forgetting the name, sorry if it's wrong). I don't think it's supposed to reset to where your main is. In any case seems like a good alternative for now.

Nah, there are just two "reset positions". The one on import, which goes to Border Zone. And the one on load game, which moves to the camera.:)

Oh wow didn't even know that, I always thought it was a reset to default position. Then again I only reset when importing.

Seems like an awesome way to move everyone to a new base area without the extra effort, I might do this now for moving bases.

Press Shft+F12, move the camera to the target location, save game, load game and select "Reset squad position"

You can also just turn off weather effects to get rid of the fog. This way you fairly easily avoid fogmen patrols. Just lead with your fastest runner who will kite all enemies while the rest follow behind in relative safety.

Really why have a big map if you could just teleport. Defeats the purpose of having an open world.

[rubyismycat]

yes its very easy get one character where you want all your others do a quicksave with them selected next import your game using the reset squad possition option hey presto all your other recruits will now be where he is

[rubyismycat]

i use that cheat to move my pet leviatons from the holy nation to my base in the far north west because they are annoyingly slow
