Unforgiving Devices

[Franco Cozzo]

Is there any way to disable the floor/lever etc traps and revert them to normal? Like an on/off toggle or something?

Hi, is there a key to easily unlock followers?

Just tried the follower mode it's amazing, but for example if i equip the wrong dd item im looking for an option to quickly swap and avoid waiting for the cool down etc.

3 ways: 

1: Just do it repeatedly. It will lower the cooldown naturally with increased helper level.

2: Use the debug menu to remove them instantly.

3 (the one you are looking for): You can use the MCM menu to reduce or increase the cooldown reduction per helper level and change the base cooldown too. Play around with it for a bit    You can find it under Unforgiving Devices -> Custom Devices -> Helping Settings.

I just got a message saying "75 devices failed to update correctly, please change your load order and try again"

 

I got the same message.

There is a post that says it could be due to Ayled piercings requiring a DD patch. I installed the patch but I still get this message

I'm thinking of trying out UD in the new modlist I'm building, and have a few questions:

• Does UD have debug device removal?
• There's a mention of reworked orgasm system...
  • Does it require SL Separate Orgasms to work (or alternately, does it conflict with SLSO)?
  • Does this orgasm system interact with regular sex, or is it limited to orgasms from devices only?
  • Does UD impose any consequences from orgasms, or should you rely on other mods?
• Does UD work best with standard Sex Lab or with SLP+?

Yes, it does and it works well.

Yes.

Orgasm while struggling to escape a device interrupts the struggle and increases the UD exhaustion debuff, which imposes a cooldown on another escape attempt.

UD works fine with standard Sexlab.

Thanks for the answers, good to know @Herowynne

 

I just solved my "no face expressions with DD gags issue", so obviously the right thing to do is add another unfamiliar mod to my load order and hope it works 😆

[ronincaido]

I have a problem maybe it's my own fault but for some reason some devices dont decresease its "Locked up" time instead its increasing it.

[Fraying9981]

On npc mode, i dont see the option to activate the device.

 

At some point i also cant see their devices anymore.

 

How do i fix these?

 

Also, is oslaroused absolutely necessary? Im using sl aroused and when registering npcs, devices games seem to work, but arousal of npc remains the same

[Nethertale]

Still having the issue of Crit never happening, can someone help?

[pangxie250]

Can I really pick a lock with telekinesis? Although it shows a 15% chance of picking it, I have never succeeded. Also, how can I disable arm casting in non-hardcore mode? I remember that when my arms were tied up, I could only attack with my legs.

  I am pretty sure I did something wrong Here and something really obvious.
 Devious Devices 5.2 Devious Devices NG They are fully working With no issue 
But Unforgiving Devices   they are not fully working I have access to stuff like This menu. But I have vanilla DD Escape system With no sign UD escape system

you probably don´t have the patch installed

 

You are supposed to patch the game yourself with the program Synthsizer or something like that, but just adding this patch to the mod and manually activating the plugin under the plugin tab in MO2 works too. It has most common DD mods.

[darkBlue_123456]

Thank you
Ah, funny enough I was trying To use Synthesizer   before I was posting this Like in the guide  My own Patch    But it didn't help.  Patch  from you  fix  my issue  
First time I was ever using  Synthesizer  Of course it didn't work 
Thank you again.

I have 3 small bugs I encounter quite frequently:

 

1: Sometimes the system does not forget the devices properly after they are removed. When I hit the player action hotkey shortly, then a device that no longer exists is shown. Then the system gets confused and does not show any of the usual options, like struggle, locks, or close the menu. The only way to get rid of the menu then is to close and restart the game. It´s really annoying.

 

2: Usually, when you select a device to struggle out of, it will get saved as a target and hitting the action hotkey will bring it up again. But when you use the follower help option, it does not get saved properly, so when I hit the action hotkey a different device pops up most of the time.

 

3: When you run out of a recource in the struggle minigame, but it shows you a crit right at the end, you can hit the crit after the minigame is already stopped and if you do that the entire device, no matter how much durability was left, gets destroyed immediately, freeing you from it.

Cursed Abadon Butterfly can't be unlocked by blacksmiths. Console reports that it's not a generic device. Is this intentional?

What  does undo persist do?

Means that a registered NPC will only interact with devices (try to free themselves) when they're loaded into the same cell as you are.

 

Here's an explanation:

What´s the deal with these Abadon witch and Abadon warrior sets?

I sometimes see items from those sets in random chests, probably because of another mod adding random devices as possible chest loot.

I see there is a whole set when I look it up in the console without any heavy restraints and they all seem to give related buffs, like more magika.

They are also not using the proper struggle methods. Struggling out of them doesn't consume any resources which is confusing.

 

Is there something planned or implemented that I missed or is it merely there as a resource.

Hello, I need some help. I´ve read the online documentation, but I still can't figure out how to deal with lock Shields. "Every lock can have lock shields, which prevents unlock of lock until all shields are removed." How do I remove them? I've also read that "Crit - Unlocks the lock (reduces key durability)" but pressing D or A doesn`t unlock. Can someone please explain?

After you press the button to start the unlocking and it drains your stamina you have to wait until your body starts to glow a colour. Then press the corresponding button and the lock will be unlocked.

The same with shields. Keys will be able to unlock devices no matter how many shields they have, but if you want to pick the lock using a lockpick you have to pick it one additional time for every shield it has.

You will just have to lockpick the same lock several times.  Each time you lockpick it, one more shield will be removed, until no shield is left and you lockpick one last time to pick the actual lock, super simple.

Hello, I need some help. When I pick up the Abadon device from the containers they immediately disappear, is it just me or does everyone have this problem?

In older versions they properly deconstructed, meaning they were destroyed and you get the items (gold, lockpicks, goo and more) you´d normally get from struggling out of them. In the current release the items still disappear but you don´t get the materials you used to get.

So yes, this happens to everyone and it is probably not intentional.
