Water Thief Raid

[NoahIlDuce]

ive been playing almost 17 hours, over the last few days. i have 60 something water. when do the raids happen? does it only happen when you have the water bots? this water system was the reason i didnt get it in the first place. now im starting to feel like its not an issue at all.

Edit: or was that some of the changes with 2.0? I don’t remember seeing anything about the overall drain of water, just the ability to save yourself from wipe.

There is a chance for a raid to happen if you have the water bots. If you run out of water then the water thieves also raid you and will cause a water death if you fail to kill them. However, they have half the health they used to do and you only fight three of them instead of 15 like you used to. It is a very easy fight nowadays.

You can also work towards getting the turret upgrades and in my experiments at least the fully upgraded turrets kill the water thieves without you needing to do anything.

If you run out of water or water bots may lead water thiefs to your innards.
But devs said its a low chance to happen.

Water was never an issue.

I have maxed water bots and maxed turrets.
today i got the raid, prepared my drum-mag shotgun and its was just 3 poor guys who died in like 10 seconds without me seeing them.
If raids dont get significantly harder I'm in net positive without much to worry about

So what I’m hearing is that if I don’t play for 2 months (with my current supply), as long as I don’t get the water bots. I don’t need to worry about water death…?
I’m confused at what the problem was.

Edit: and even then I’ll be able to defend myself when I come back with the help of turrets.

Amen. Also the true capitalism has never been tried.

Only happens if:

* login at 0 water. (50/50) Make sure the base has enough water.
* waterbots active (random chance, more bots - more risk - no matter how much water there is)

imho
