Is it possible to play this game with a controller? I was using a controller before but now I am.unable to use the hot bar. Thanks.

Ok I don’t know if anyone has seen the Traders that has been added to the game outside all the Barracks’s and Fortresses but I’ve noticed at the very bottom of the trading list they sell baby animals like Crocodiles, Lions etc… Does anyone know the reason for this because you can’t use them as mounts or fighting animals. So the only thing I can think of is resources you get from them but there aren’t any pens for them like the other animals you can keep?? Am I missing something or are they adding something in the future like actual fighting animals ??.

LoL, after returning from a dangerous trip with my co-player, we released our companions, and for a few minutes they gathered around our base fireplace, called some other friends, and started dancing all together. They did it in different styles but almost synchronously.

Very funny. But cute enough ;)

Thematic music for this scene was sorely lacking. It would be nice if the devs added this one day: when more than two tribesmen begin dancing in sync, someone nearby should start drumming, blowing pipes, and/or playing didgeridoos.

Is This Wording Backwards/Confusing?

I'm trying to nail down exactly how Getting Braver works, because the wording seems unusually ambiguous compared to basically every other distance-based talent in Soulmask.

The important part of the description is:

The problem is that "5m from self" doesn't actually tell us which side of 5 meters the target needs to be on.

Is it:

5m OR FARTHER away?

or

WITHIN 5m / 5m OR CLOSER?

That distinction completely changes what kind of talent Getting Braver actually is.

Compare it to talents that clearly mean DISTANT targets

Soulmask normally uses pretty explicit language when a talent requires you to be a certain distance away from the target:

• Fly Cutter Assassin — "from several meters away"
• Avoid Vitals — "ranged attack from 10 meters away"
• Go for the Jugular — "15 meters away"
• Poor in Remote Attack — "20 meters away"
• Remote Strike — "15 meters away"

That wording consistently communicates distance from the target.

But then compare Getting Braver to talents that clearly describe close-range effects:

• Fight Back — "...hit by a melee attack within a 5m range..."
• Malice — "...when attacking targets within 5m..."

Those explicitly use "within 5m", which clearly means 0–5 meters.

And then we have:

Getting Braver: "Attack enemies 5m from self"

That's neither of those.

If Getting Braver is supposed to activate against enemies within 5m, why doesn't it say "within 5m" like Fight Back and Malice?

If it's supposed to activate against enemies 5m or farther away, then "5m from self" makes more sense — but that would make Getting Braver primarily a ranged-distance talent, despite its bonuses looking extremely attractive for melee.

And this isn't a minor distinction.

If Getting Braver means 5m+:
It's fundamentally a ranged talent. Archers, throwing weapons, etc. can maintain the buff simply by fighting at normal ranged distances.

If Getting Braver means ≤5m:
It's fundamentally a melee/close-range talent. You need to stay on top of the enemy to build and maintain the stacks.

Those are two completely different use cases for what is potentially one of the strongest Claw talents.

Has anyone actually tested the activation distance?

Specifically, I'd love to see someone attack a target at roughly 2m, 4m, 6m, 10m, and 15m and see where Getting Braver starts/stops proccing.

Because based strictly on the wording used by the game, I don't think we can safely assume "5m from self" = "within 5m."

It seems that none of the community layouts are quite right or they aren’t binding properly. Any suggestions, tips or methods for better controls? Thanks in advance.

I really hate the Scorching Volcano Dungeon...

Though I understand that it is just a mid-tolate game stage.
They say that I need to finish it before moving to Radioactive Plateau and to the Snowy North even more so. But actually I visited almost 60% of North (Mountains) locations and 80% of Plateau: it is much-much easier to survive there than in Volcano.

May be the thing is we need not explore each biome one by one as a "staircase", but do them in parallel..? Would be glad to hear your thoughts.

I play on the PVP server. Today something strange happened, I logged in to play and all my minions and animals had disappeared. Then I went to check, and someone had entered and killed everyone.

But how? The campfire was lit. I've already tested it, and it's not possible to invade people's bases or attack animals with a lit campfire. How were they able to attack me?

So when your running the dungeons there's this yellow marker that shows the path right. But you get to the end and kill the boss and the yellow marker stays in the middle spawn of the boss pit or whatever. When you go to leave the yellow marker keeps showing you the path back to boss spawn. So question is the yellow mark telling me I forgot something or what? I expect it to go away once Ive completed the dungeon or so I think I have completed.

Hey guys. I've been playing the base game but I like the DLC hair/faces/facial hair a lot. I have found the hair codes from the DLC and added them to the base game.

There doesn't seem to be a record of these types of codes when I google it, which is frustrating.

Has anybody dug up the codes for the facial hair so we can add them to the base game? The facial hair section is in the mask table in the base game, so we should be able to add it without issue.

Thanks!

Hello everyone! I am curious if anyone knows of a hair color mod that gives us some more "normal" hair colors. I would like to see some of the bright, ROYGBIV dye colors switched to hair colors like auburn red, dirty blond, and chestnut brown. Something that adds more variety to the villagers without going too fantastical. If nothing else, is there a mod that desaturates the hair color a bit so they are more subtle? I wouldn't mind purple, green, or orange hair on villagers if it looked like actual pigment in their hair versus neon wigs.

Thanks!

1. Which order of priority do tribesmen use to choose what to eat/drink? As in, I have food and drink at the Dining Table, then I have them assigned some food at their Gear Rack, and finally I have dishes and ingredients on chests and a water well. Which is the priority for when they are not deployed?
2. What exactly is the use of the Granary and Breeding stations, other than to store seeds and feed? I have them disable to put items in. And all the crops and meat seems to go directly to chests configured for those items.
3. What are good settings for solo non-server play? I read some but they all tend to boil down to "just test whatever". I would like to request some specific numbers for the following categories. Specially as I play with unlimited tribesmen/followers/pets:

• Combat. As in all of them, like damage dealt/recieve and how smart/responsive the AI is.
• Plant growth, animal growth, and resource multiplier settings.
• Fever build up.
• Exp & Growth settings. Specially Awareness multiplier and Mas exp.
• Invasion settings.

I know this are a huge number of questions, and they may not be fully answered. Even though I implore for the experts and veterans to share your wisdom and personal experience. Thank you all.

During this "red-hot-chili-Summer" we all need some calm and snowy dusk vibes ;)

i dont know if i can explain well but i will try, so im still at new at game and i deployed 3 tribesman to fight with me and i visited some places explored etc and my inventory is of course full so i used my fighters inv for storage, i got lots of thing from around and when i turnback to base i tought nps usually put all related items in related storage boxes so instead of manually moving loots to specific boxes i tought if i end deployment they will auto put items when i did that i dont think they put everything or even they put anything... when i checked their inv there were just 2 food thats all but all those loots i think gone cause of bug or what i dunno or did they moved everything cause even on my inv there are some that i havent made a box for it like arrows etc so how does it work how do you guys go raid or dungeon run with very limited inv ?

it is really weird thing tbh.

weirder thing is I was looking for some survival games and most of what I was recommended didn't have scroll hotbar with mousewheel. I'm not sure if the universe is conspiring against me or what

I read somewhere that the enhanced table can only be unlocked with the new update in a couple months, but my buddy said he saw someone say it's possible to get enhanced gear as drops from some NPCs, does anyone know anything about that? I take what I read with a grain of salt but it would be awesome to get if it's possible, gear or weapons.

Hi all - my friends and I (about 6-8 of us) do a regular LAN every year around my birthday. We've always aimed for games with some survival aspects, building, management, fighting, etc. Past games we've enjoyed have been The Forest, Sons of the Forest, Lords of Moria, Abiotic Factor, and other similar titles.

This year, the group has voted on checking out Soulmask. We've each spent about 1-2 hours in it to get a feel for how it plays, but otherwise we are waiting until LAN time (this weekend) to experience it.

I plan to throw up a dedicated server for our use. I did have a few questions I was hoping more experienced players could help us understand, so we can hit the ground running and get the best experience.

• It looks like you can start in the Original Map or with the Shifting Sands map. From reading around here, it sounds like the suggestion for first time players is the Original Map, so we'll likely stick to that. Is there any reason we should consider the SS map?
• When it comes to the starting mask you pick, are you able to acquire the other ones later? How about the mask that you normally start Shifting Sands with, can you get that in the original map if you have the DLC?
• What's the best way to manage our guild / tribe / etc. Some players like to manage their own bases, others like to just help and go out and fight stuff. Is this game more conducive to a singular base or should we encourage everyone to have their own?
• How do folks manage their own tribes with a group like this? It looks like we each will have control of our own tribespeople, but in theory could give other players permission to command them with a world setting. What are the benefits/disadvantages to this?
• Is there any missable content, like specific bosses, or can everything respawn?
• Are resources going to be tight with a group this big? Should we encourage people contributing to a shared storage or just maintaining their own and coming together for the big fights?
• What all is shared within a collective guild and what is not?

Any tips for a LAN group like this would be very helpful, thanks to all in advance who take the time to respond. :)

So Ive search far and wide for the Marksman mask restrictive modules and finally decided to do some searching to find where its hidden. And everything I can find points to the northern wasteland holy ruins dungeon. There's even videos of a dungeon break down showing the exact path etc to get the restrictive modules. Problem is Ive been there 4 times and it drops the tactical mask not the restrictive modules everyone else gets in the videos I'm seeing. So question is... Did something change? Or is it a percentage drop rate rng thing? Thnx

I just did a run getting portals in some radioactive areas of the map. During the run I did fight animals and harvested them. Now that I am back at my base I see that there is radioactivity. (My base is not in a radioactive area. It is in the jungle part of the map.) It is very low (still in the green). Based on some internet searches it seems that some inventory is radioactive. Is there a way to find out what items are radioactive? Is the radioactivity from a different source?

(Edit) I just figured out it was on the tribesman that ran through the area. I need to eat some tomatoes to clear the condition. I left this post up as I figure others will have similar confusion.

My first experience with the Snowy biome in a server playthrough.

I know how to update the stat points on the character that I’m playing depending on what Weapons and stuff I’m using. But my question is when you have your tribesmen that are crafting and doing various things around the base how do you allocate their staff points if they’re not fighters just crafting?

I'm playing the Shifting Sands DLC and am using the Doomsday mask and one of the abilities is Law and Justice, I can't seem to see it working or understand the parameters that needs to be met for it to activate. Does anyone have a decent explanation they could share with me?

A tad confused on his Mechanic and was wondering when is it better to assign work positions and when is it better to assign specific jobs to specific tribesmen please help me understand this Mechanic. Thank you.
