Summary of Neotheology
The Church of Neotheology, summarized; Are essentially space christians with a fanatical outlook against AI, robotics, and augmentations. Their followers are not allowed the use of such devices as it goes against their teachings. They use cruciforms to hold their 'soul' (DNA) to clone their followers after death keeping up with the belief they are immortal. For the complete lore see:Neotheology Lore

Cruciform - Cornerstone of NeoTheology, it is necessary to revive believers and to use litanies from the Bible. It violently detaches all augments and prosthetics from a body when implanted and activated. Baptizing Changelings gibs them. Removing the cruciform causes the wearer to instantly die. The common cruciform has: 50 energy, Preacher cruciform has: 80 energy, and Inquisitor cruciform has: 100 energy. | |
Ritual Knife - Necessary to speed-up the process of a baptism. If the unbeliever has one or several prosthetics and wants to become a NeoTheologian, the implantation of a cruciform will cause the augmentats to detach violently, and he will be driven into critical condition. Kill him with your knife and start the process of cloning, then use the body for bioreactor fuel and wash the floor. | |
Cahors - church wine. The most effective anti-toxin on the whole ship but in limited quantities. Can be purchased in TheoMat, or be found inside cahor barrel at the ritual room. |

Basically, using them is your main job as they allow you to convert people to your faith, and much more.
Common litanies
Name | Description | Text |
---|---|---|
Relief | Short litany, weakens pain much like a painkiller. | Et si ambulavero in medio umbrae mortis non timebo mala |
Soul Hunger | Litany of piligrims, relieves you of some of your hunger but also gives a small ammount of toxins. | Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie |
Entreaty | Call for help, this can be heard by other NeoTheology believers. | Deus meus ut quid dereliquisti me |
Reveal Adversaries | Gives you information about your environment. Most of the time it tells you about roaches and other aggressive monsters and traps. Very rarely it can reveal to you that somewhere around you hides a changeling. | Et fumus tormentorum eorum ascendet in saecula saeculorum: nec habent requiem die ac nocte, qui adoraverunt bestiam, et imaginem ejus, et si quis acceperit caracterem nominis ejus. |
Group rituals
Most of the group rituals work equally. The Preacher reads the first word of the group ritual litany, and after that the believers repeat the Preacher's words. Then the Preacher reads the next word and the believers repeat again. This continues until the end of the ritual. Any other words or incorrect litanies will cause the believer to be removed from the group ritual, or the Preacher to stop it. If the ritual failed, you can't trigger it again. Only one ritual can be started per round.
Mainly, group litanies increase your stats by 3 points with a 1+ per each believer who was in the group ritual. Also, group litanies will give you access to the "Crusade" litanies, which are mostly used by NeoTheology battle troops.
Preacher litanies
Crusader litanies
Any of the Crusader litanies needs a special amount of people to unlock the highers tier of it. To open all Crusader abilities you should have atleast 4 believers with you, and the Preacher.
Название | Описание | Текст |
---|---|---|
Eternal Brotherhood | Shows to you all other believers, or anyone who has cruciform, by giving you the NeoTheology HUD. This although stops your cruciform from regenerating energy. | Ita multi unum corpus sumus in Christo singuli autem alter alterius membra. |
Call to Battle | If you have any Crusaders around you, using this litany will cause a global upgrade of the "Toughness" and "Robustness" stats. | Si exieritis ad bellum de terra vestra contra hostes qui dimicant adversum vos clangetis ululantibus tubis et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum. |
Searing Revelation | The most powerful litany that you can get. Using it will stun everyone who doesn't have cruciform for 4-5 seconds, but it also has a big chance to stun you. It can be a reason why IH would start making problems to NeoTheology. It would be better if you hide this litany until it is needed in battle. | Per fidem enim ambulamus et non per speciem. |
Tips
- Litanies can be used without the just say them.
- Infidels will very rarely convert to NeoTheology by themselves, you need to search interested ones and spread the word of NeoTheology by either preaching, panflets and private messages. We don't recommend using the radio too much as IH can dislike that. Try to bring people to Church and tell them more about the religion to convert them, and don't be afraid to ask believers to help you with the propaganda, it helps to have someone who can be trusted to reassure the infidels to convert. Find your own ways to increase your influence, don't simply sit in Church. Use your mind, converting people is probably like a dating simulator!
- Rember to check the morgue, there you can find some weapons for your believers incase they need them, but remember that you are a public person, and it would be better if nobody sees you looting dead people of course. But don't forget about funerals, placing dead bodies into coffin and sending them into space will make players respawn faster if they aren't believers. If you can't take care of corpse at the moment, just place them into the morgue.
- While trying to convert people try to not use the "fear of death" or other factors like that, you will scare them instead of making them more loyal to you. Remember, immortality is a reward for the believers, not a tool to scare the infidels.
- You are a Preacher, not a soldier, so you must prevent your death by any means. If you die, all the current and future believers will lose their chance to get back from the dead. Hire yourself a bodyguard if you wish, and even convert him to bound him to you.
- Public botany is the most simple way to grow alot of plants, where you can turn them into biomass in the plant biomass machine to then transform into meat for the church cloner. Plump helmets have the highest number of harvested crops, so the amount biomass that you get from them is the highest one in relation to time spent harvesting crops.
