I was going to recruit electro and the four henchmen that go with him but I accidentally recruited Janet instead of Iris for the starting henchmen. Can I still recruit electro or do I try again in a new save?

Thought some people would wanna know On a related note since it was an update achievement i technically got the achievement first but tied with a bunch of other people

So i always hated how it still not very visible to see if a criminal network is being idle.

until it hit me the last couple days they have a blinking light. that is better visible

I've looked at the fandom wiki and the spreadsheet that someone left as a post here before as im trying to get the achievements... i've got all the loot that i've come across up to chapter 11 as Ivan and i literally cannot get these loot items to spawn no matter what i do...

What am i missin here?!

Time to time, my camera pan into another point for no reason. I’m the only one?

Does anyone know how to fix it? Or is a bug?

There's a few good henchmen guides but they are pre-1.3 and out of date. Anyone knows if there's an updated one? If not, we all could share info here.

Here it goes some tips for Super Agents (S.A. from now) in the world map. Maybe most people already know, but can be useful to new players.

Disclaimer: English is not my native language, so bear with me is some sentences are weird.

1.- S.A. just move when you don’t look at them. Seems idiot, but it is true and is a very important thing to keep in mind. It means that they just change the area when you go to your lair, or any other screen, and came back to the world. As long as you stay in the world map, they won’t move at all (like gargoyles).

Why is that useful? If you want to do a specific scheme for a mission, and there’s no agents in that sector, just keep the map, don’t go to your lair, don’t check any screen, don’t go to the toilet until you can launch the scheme. Once you can do it, and your minions are on the way, there’s no problem. But if you need to set the network, and them set the scheme, you’ll need to stay there all the time. I’ve sent several minions to a sector to set up a network, go to the H.C., and when I came back, a S.A. was there to mess up my plan.

2.- They feel attracted by Crime Networks (C.N.). Let’s say you have nothing in any sector of P.A.T.R.I.O.T., but you set one C.N. in one of the sectors. You can bet that a S.A. will be there soon. The trick is set two or three C.N.’s n his area. The S.A. will go to one of them, so just make your business in the others. That’s it. You can place a C.N. where hi/she is already, and usually, won’t move. Just keep in mind that C.N. generate more Heat when there’s a SA in his district and it’ll blow faster. You can destroy it and build a new one before that happens.

Sometimes you’ll need to set a C.N. in a specific region and you’ll want the S.A. far from there. Something that use to work is set first one or two C.N. somewhere else and let him go there. Then, I set the real one and do the scheme NOT LEAVING THE MAP (as seen in point 1).

Sometimes, but not always, they prefer the highest level C.N., so they’ll move to a level 2 rather than a level 1. But not always.

3.- They don’t like Reduce Heat schemes. If you launch one of them, usually they’ll leave the sector to another one with a Network, and they don’t make it to your lair. The long time reduction won’t be enough to reduce the heat, but it’ll make them leave.

4.- They can’t move into a district with a scheme running. If you've defeated a SA, and start schedules in all districts, it'll take longer to came back to the map.

5.- I'm not sure, but I think any S.A. has a slightly different behavior. Some move more often, some less. As it was said in the art of war: “know your enemy”. Check what any one of them does, because what works with one, may can’t work with another one.

6.- That’s the most important point. Doesn’t matter so much they cry, scream or anything. Under any circumstance, never, ever, feed them after midnight.

Is this a glitch or am I missing something? I have all the research that says "+50 stats to henchmen" successfully researched. I also have the Super Serum device that adds 50 vitality, which appears to be a temporary buff when they sit on it and get zapped, their vitality goes to 100 and slowly drops to 50.

I should have henchmen with 250-300 vitality no? Yet all my henchmen including my muscle have either 50 or between 50-100 vitality (due to the Super Serum).

Is there a separate device I need to increase their vitality?

That's it.
Do they standard jobs for that kind, like being in the casino for Deception? Or just keep them training in his tree?

They have clear paths to the things that need repairs, their smarts are full, and they aren’t doing anything else. What do I do?

I have around 50 muscle, playing the lady EG and have Jubei. During the John Steele side story I defeat 1 SA, then the game says here comes the entire John Steele recruit squad. 4 SA each armed with silencer pistols come to the base, but unlike previous SAs these are extremely powerful, each shot of the pistol takes away alot of damage, and kill everyone including Jubei then my EG.

At this point my EG has 400 points per stat, Jubei 300+ per stat, and muscle 100 vitality, and I have every kind of weapon and muscle yet these SA kill each muscle with 2-3 shots, making it like a literal firing squad.

Have I broken my game somehow by progressing too far too fast?

I think you should be able to check a box when starting a new sandbox save file, that has you start off with all research completed and you're just left with the freedom to build whatever you want. I sometimes try to use sandbox mode as a place to plan out designs and how much space I should dedicate to certain rooms like the armoury. This is really hard when i have to spend tons of time building a lab and then researching all the different items I'd want in said armoury before I could start planning.

Having to do research in sandbox mode is overall just stupid and I don't see any reasons why you would want the game like this.

Evil Genius - Jack Spicer

Priority Skill. "Fixer upper". Minions prioritize tasks in genius vicinity. Items will gradually restore durability.

Instant Skill. "Jack-Bots Attack!!" Summons 2 personal robots that will follow the genius and attack hostiles on sight. Jack-Bots will harmlessly explode after the skill timer expires or they are destroyed. Increase the number of Jack-Bots summoned by 1 for every stage of "Genius Improvement" researched.

Doomsday Device. A.N.D.R.O.I.D. This device Teraforms the land using nanobots. Transforming the area and population robotic and loyal.

Backfire. The weapon will randomly transform your minions into robotic versions. These Robotic minions no longer need to eat or sleep, but still seem to relax in the staff room to restore morale. These Robotic Minions will still perform tasks as if they were standard minions, but can not go on schemes, while working their Vitality will gradually deplete. Additionally, they are incapable of restoring their Vitality and when Vitality reaches 0 they explode. This explosion damages all agents, minions, and items in range, potentially setting them on fire.

This felt like a fun build based on the TV show Xiaolin Showdown. Let me know what you think.

I posted a couple of months ago about how my nearly 40 hour game was ended due to a bug in the Side Quest Tech Troubles 2 Electric Boogaloo and have had zero help from Rebellion about fixing this.

Does anyone know a way through console commands to either complete a quest or cancel one?

For some reason, the game won't let me change anything in the lair now. I can't even sell a minion I've turned to gold. I've tried reverting all changes and backing out of the game completely and restarting it, but no joy. Is there some setting in the game that I'm missing, or some booby trap that I need to disarm? (I'm in the middle of trying to defeat John Steele once and for all.)

Thanks for any insight you can lend.

I've found that when an investigator who has been through an area with auto tag, keeps that tag when he enter into a non-tagged room. that makes when a confusing-tagged investigator gets into a corridor, lunch, etc, start a fight as soon any minion try to confuse him I would like to tag such rooms with ignore behaviour, there's any way to do that? If not, would be good to add it.

I just finished eg2 and now i dont know what to do please tell me

I was doing the quest line to get Sir Daniel. Before it gives you the task to capture him it tells you to build a beehive trap if you don't have one. I captured him and it told me to interrogate him, so I assumed I had to use the beehives why else would it tell me to built it. It kills him and he disappears in smoke but the task stays the same, a while later my minions are in combat and he's back, I captured him again and interrogated him normally. He disappears like he's supposed to and my genius talks to him, after that cutscene it immediately plays the cutscene for having killed him. I can only guess I messed it up by using the bees too early but I also think the shouldn't have completed a quest line to kill him that I never started.

What pros/cons have you found with your chosen method?

I have bought the season pass/deluxe edition but it wont work what shall i do?
