brokentool Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 i posted this earlier on reddit today: Quote So.. I am sorry if this old news, but could not find anything online on the subject. Yesterday I incubated my first Chesa and today I noticed that the dog starts digging around threshcones on Earth and then I get a scan for them. Now it did it with a Vestan Moss I missed. pic or it did not happen i have all plants scanned, i just need them for apothic and antitoxins. the dog starts digging near the plant, then barks, then i get +10 affinity and a 'scan' feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckMaverick Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Interesting. The pic would be more convincing proof if you didn't have your synthesis scanner equipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caobie Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Further testing required. if nobody else gets to it before I get home I'll report my findings Edited November 28, 2016 by Caobie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noobverest Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Oh chesa is it? Thanks for giving me a reason to bring a kubrow around now.... hehehe Between my hate for kubrows and my hate for scanning plants manually,... I'd rather bring a Kubrow Edited November 28, 2016 by Noobverest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archonos23 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Incoming rework for Chesa? Maybe it has something to do with the plan of making vacuum available for Kubrows & Kavats too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it has something to do with the plan of making vacuum available for Kubrows & Kavats too. This seems likely. There is also a behavior change in how the Chesa delivers items, instead of picking up stuff in its mouth and walking it back, it now instantly credits the pick-up as soon as it runs over it. *edit after more use* Unless improvements to the Kubrow AI item targeting also come with an update... this still isn't worth it. It's still faster to manually scan plants yourself. Also the item pickup behavior of the Chesa is still well below tolerable, to the point that its faster to walk over items yourself... Which totally negates the point of even bringing a Chesa in-place of anything else. Back in the puppy freezer my Chesa goes.

Trent's pic is pretty good confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokentool Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 @ChuckMaverick sorry if that appeared rude. and yes, that pic definitely is. i really like such nifty little details, like also how the Sunika brings down Capture targets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Simaris augment for Helios (that marks weak points) and i see him marking pretty often, so i don't think there is a problem after completing codex part, if i understood you right.

The mod for helios regard only enemies. try to go on a grineer ship galleon with helios and the verdant moss already completed scanned in codex you will see helios will remain idle in front of the mos but if u equip the codex scanner u can scan the plant again and take the item.

DaMasque Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 It's cute but not reliable. You can't be in combat (I assume the AI prioritize fighting enemies) and you have to be near the plants. Rather bring a Smeeta and hope for that double drop buff from Charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Chesa (very first Kubrow, random, no mods, got her last night ) scans between biting enemies in half. We kept trying to get screencaps of her scanning last night and missed every time LOL I didn't have to be too close by, and she kept me from having to search for them myself in between fighting. Having her go from scanning to seeing arms and torsos go flying was pretty nifty The scanning is a side bonus, the retrieval is a side bonus, that she does this between literally disarming enemies (because her main ability is Disarm) makes it more than worth it to me.

Your love for your Chesa + OP's report has made me want to take out my Chesa again xD Thanks for the info guys! I love kubrows and kavats, but I do agree they need some work.
