![]() iPhone 14: 20 hours (up from 19 hours on 13)įor our individual news stories discussing the launches, read Apple unveils the all-new iPhone 14 Plus and The iPhone 14 Pro is official.iPhone 14 Pro: 23 hours (up from 22 hours on 13 Pro).iPhone 14 Pro Max: 29 hours of video playback (up from 28 hours on 13 Pro Max).The iPhone 14 Plus, of course, has no direct predecessor–but its larger chassis means a large battery that should comfortably outperform the iPhone 14 Pro. Battery lifeĪpple is claiming small improvements in battery performance across the range, with the three non-Plus models all gaining an hour on their predecessor. In other words, expect the 14 Pro to absolutely obliterate any and all speed benchmarks, while delivering less noticeable improvements in the real world until the available software can catch up with its capabilities. Apple hasn’t given us much concrete detail about the performance we can expect from the A16 (other than that it has 16 billion transistors and the Neural Engine can process nearly 17 trillion operations per second, up from 15.8 trillion in the A15), but the company did claim it’s 40 percent faster than the closest competition. As was predicted back in 2020, this is being manufactured with a 4nm rather than 5nm process, which should mean improved performance and power efficiency. We won’t know until review samples start showing up, as Apple doesn’t publicly disclose RAM.)įar more excitingly, the Pro models get processors from the next generation: the A16 Bionic. (It’s also possible that Apple has increased the RAM allocation from 2021, as was rumored before the event. But this has been upgraded to carry an additional GPU core (like the one in the 13 Pro last year), and should thus deliver somewhat improved performance over the standard 13. The non-Pro models are still running A15 Bionic chips, just like all four of the 13-series iPhones last fall. The word “new” there is debatable, but there’s certainly change of sorts in the processor department. ![]() At some point it seems likely to carry an ongoing fee, but Apple says it will be free for the first two years after purchase. The satellite feature is initially available in the US and Canada only. (It’s based on short pre-scripted texts, but if the emergency provider you’re trying to contact only responds to calls, a team of intermediaries will handle that for you.) You’ll need a clear view of the sky, but the feature will show you where to point the device so as to establish and maintain a good connection. If the iPhone thinks you’ve been involved in a crash, it will (unless countermanded) call emergency services and notify your preferred contacts.Įmergency SOS via satellite, meanwhile, is a feature that can use satellite connectivity to get in touch with emergency services when you’re out of cellular range. ![]() Safety featuresĪpple’s renewed interest in personal safety can be split into two main strands, both of which are also available on the new Apple Watches: a new crash detection feature, and satellite connectivity for emergencies.Ĭrash detection uses an upgraded gyroscope and accelerometer to recognise when you’re in a crashing vehicle–much like the older Fall Detection feature, but for potentially far more dangerous situations. Here are the key new features and spec upgrades. There are lots of improvements under the hood. Jason Snell/Foundry Tech specs and new features The iPhone 14 Pro’s camera module is chunkier than ever, but justifies this with an upgraded feature and spec list.

Phenytoin may harm an unborn baby, but having a seizure during pregnancy could harm both mother and baby. Do not start or stop taking phenytoin without your doctor's advice if you are pregnant. Seizure control is very important during pregnancy. Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms. Your doctor will need to check your progress at regular visits. Some people have thoughts about suicide while taking this medicine. If you are of Asian ancestry (you may need a special blood test to determine your risk for having a skin reaction to this medicine). Porphyria (a genetic enzyme disorder that causes symptoms affecting the skin or nervous system) or To make sure phenytoin is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:Ī vitamin D deficiency or any other condition that causes thinning of the bones If you currently take delavirdine (Rescriptor).

Seizure control is very important during pregnancy and the benefits of preventing seizures may outweigh any risks posed by using phenytoin. If you become pregnant while taking this medicine, DO NOT STOP TAKING the medicine without your doctor's advice. ![]() Phenytoin may cause harm to an unborn baby, but having a seizure during pregnancy could harm both the mother and the baby. If you are pregnant, DO NOT START TAKING this medicine unless your doctor tells you to. You should not use phenytoin if you also take delavirdine (Rescriptor), or if you are allergic to ethotoin (Peganone), fosphenytoin (Cerebyx), or mephenytoin (Mesantoin). It does not treat all types of seizures, and your doctor will determine if it is the right medicine for you. Phenytoin works by slowing down impulses in the brain that cause seizures. Phenytoin is an anti-epileptic drug, also called an anticonvulsant. Medically reviewed by Philip Thornton, DipPharm. Generic name: phenytoin (oral) ĭrug classes: Group I antiarrhythmics, Hydantoin anticonvulsants To give another example, he makes that first main hand attack and misses. He then goes to use a bonus action to do his second hand crossbow attack with the Crossbow Expert feat (which by the way, that feat allows you to ignore the reload portion so he can actually just use one hand crossbow to do this), so on this second attack, he would just roll normal damage, no sneak attack damage on top of it. ![]() So let's say he attacks with his main hand weapon, we'll use hand crossbows for your example(we're going to assume the attack qualifies for sneak attack damage), then if he hits he can apply sneak attack damage to this attack. Sneak attack is just a poor name for the damage boost as it tends to confuse people. That's all it is, you're getting to apply extra damage once. Maybe you should explain it to your player as less "a sneak attack", which he is thinking he can do twice, and more that it is you can apply sneak attack damage to ONE attack (hit) per turn. In the same ROUND, sometimes a creature can use a reaction to make an attack (such as an attack of opportunity when an enemy moves out of the quare next to them), and if that attack qualifies for a SA, then they can add the SA damage to that attack, because it is on a different TURN than their own when they may have used SA already in that ROUND. ![]() So, two attack or more during a given turn (from multiattack, dual wielding, a bonus action, etc) only allows SA to be used Once in that TURN. There are as many Turns in a Round as their are characters/creatures.Ī Rogue can only use a sneak attack Once per TURN. Each character/creature gets one TURN per ROUND. Both hit and he applied sneak attack damage twice.No. He says right, I'll make two sneak attacks at the orc with my twin crossbows. ![]() I'm happy that he may use a reaction, which is a trigger if something happens that he is reacting to, but what about specifically as I described: There is an orc fighting your mate. Hmmm, reading those replies has left me just as confused.

It does make great clothes to outfit you colonists with though, I'm not sure you'd need 22000 of it for that. If by "venture" you meant money making, devilstrand is literally the worst plant to grow in the game for making silver, both because of the time required to grow it and the low gains you get using it for production compared to cloth. I'm guessing when you started it in January the temps were still below ideal and it was growing at a slower rate for a while, and a summer heatwave can add a few more days as well. On most maps you would want a greenhouse to grow it so you can keep the temperature stable for the duration. It's one of those items that benefits the AI.Originally posted by Astasia:Ya the real grow time for devilstrand is like 40 days on normal soil, 60 days on gravel, at perfect temperatures. Smokepop is there to annoy players, i'm sure. Neither mortars nor plate are must have, but they're ok. Even better if it's a desert map as you can use fire shells without causing map wide fires. Mortars can fire from those places and at least do some damage. I think they're nice on mountain maps with unroofed pockets. The reload time is worse than the accuracy. The accuracy is appalling, but pawns with bad combat skills, or old age or other issues that slow them down can be useful in a fight by manning mortars. Mortars are *kinda* handy in certain situations, though you can just steal the ones brought to you. It's kinda in the middle, but i like the look of it, and it's performed pretty well. Mortars aren't that useful unless you want to attack other settlements. Originally posted by olympe:Things on my "don't bother" list:īows and advanced bows as well as longblades and plate armor usually, since I never played tribal starts yet. If I wanted to anti-climatically end the game, I'd just quit. Seriously, just build your base out of stone bricks with stone floors. Any drugs but psychoid tea, yayo, and medicine. Plus they take up a lot of time and resources. I used to love these, but the long ranged scanner is far superior. Deep Drilling/Ground penetrating scanner. Psychoid tea every other day is far superior, and requires much less time and effort. Things I used to use, but now find worthless: Takes away the need for freezers, and can survive a power outage. Poison Synthesis (venom fangs for everyone, and talons for ranged characters) Bionics (to replace the lost body parts colonists will have by now) Biofuel refining (turning human flesh into $$$) (I use small ones to draw aggro, big ones cost too much and can kill my own guys too easily) There are also things like smokepop belts that could be irrelevant if you have a psicaster able to do that ability or a must have if you do not. Or drug production that can be used to keep your dudes happy or be sold for profit. For instance deep drilling gives you infinite building materials. ![]() There are others for sure, but those are usually the ones that make the biggest impact for me. ![]() ![]() Also keeps their temp fairly well in all environments so it can potentially be worn 24/7. Essentially the endgame where your colonists rarely die because they are hard to kill. Because they do well against mechs due to high armor pen. Because diseases suck, operations are not fun when they fail, and colonists lose way too many body parts.Ĭharge weapons. Sterile Tile/Medicine Production/Hospital Beds/Vital Monitors/Bionics. Prisons are either basically hospital rooms or luxury suites for recruitment. Managing 7 or 8 prisoners at a time early game is manageable, but trying to prevent prison breaks when you have 30 or 40 captures after a raid is just too much work. Whenever the royal tax collector comes around I pull them out of cold storage, let them wake up, then trade them in for royal favor. It doesn't guarantee success, but I have more successes than failures.įor prisoners I patch them up and let them recover, apply anesthesia, then put them into cryptosleep caskets for storage. Doctors get bionic arms and eyes first for better surgery outcomes, glittertech medicine is used, and everything is done in a sterile hospital room. Trust me when I say that it sucks a lot to set an archotech eye to be installed and to get a catastrophic failure, so everything I can do to improve success rates gets stacked onto the list. I put a lot of emphasis on putting bionics on my colonists and capturing live targets from raids. Surprisingly hospital beds, cryptosleep caskets, and vitals monitors are very high on my to do list. The game itself is a neat little co-op party game for up to four people to enjoy together. Only 3,000 copies of the game were printed, which is on the low end for a Super Rare Games release.
