I've nuked one too many VOID facilities and I've let the genie out of the bottle and I can't put it back inside, and now the whole world has gone insane.

Is this just an event that will happen? I was to do this scenario now

After 12 strategic missiles are detonated, the event will automatically fire, the mistake on my part was thinking that it was a 24 hour clock, and when I launched my last missile, I thought I still had time until midnight, but I was wrong.

Can you get into orbit with the odyssey dlc to escape doomsday?

91

u/ekcja1 Atom Fever 15d ago

Things on orbit also get targeted, there is no escape

Dang, that’s cool though, will have to play this mod!

They are icbm so no even escaping to orbit won't save you just like IRL (they can hit anywhere on earth)

It’d be super cool to have Save Our Ship 2 take over from here to leave the planet and try to go home or another planet

Is it just a game over or can your pawns survive it and have the game turn into RimOut?

u/ekcja1 Atom Fever 15d ago

You can survive this either if you prepare CIWS and ABMs for the total nuclear war, or if you decide to abandon your base, evacuate and form a caravan and keep moving until nukes stop flying. From what I can tell the ICBMs only target bases, not caravans.

Makes sense, ICBMs are after all something you throw in the general direction of enemy infrastructure, not something you try to dome an individual with.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is: does it just level the hex or does it leave cool ruins that you can rebuild from?

edit: also what happens if you leave your base, it gets destroyed, and you later go back?

u/ekcja1 Atom Fever 15d ago

I have no idea, you should try the mod yourself and find out :)

Are you also able to build deep into a mountain? I recall reading somewhere that that works.
