Bugs I have found in 0.4 Pre-Release - Growing list addition

[Braxton]

No, I mean it literally disappeared into thin air. I looked around the house, in the house, in the fridge, the shed next door. It was nowhere to be found.

Also, turrets walking through walls, holy crap.

Going back on the ol’ heado thing I found earlier (which appears to be only visual, thank goodness), it also affects the speed. My head was hot and in the speed section of the @ menu it said “Hot Heado: -2%”

It’s starting to seem like this was intentional. I bet George A. Romero would’ve liked to know you were supposed to shoot zombies in the heado. And that you can escape many situations of you just think and use your heado. Oh, I can go on forever with this. :3

Dammit. I was sure I had that fixed in the Git version. The issue is, that list of bodyparts is maintained in at least 3 different spots in the code. I may need to combine all those into one centralized location, so that we stop having these issues.

[Braxton]

Oh, another!

When you open the containment field or w/e outside CBMs in science labs it opens every single one in the building.

EDIT: Moving furniture through a door makes the door disappear.

Light-strips don’t provide enough light to read, which I assume is their purpose.

Thanks for looking into these! I sure don’t want to be

Not necessarily. I noticed that you couldn’t read with them when I added 'em, and wasn’t sure whether or not that was a good thing.

At a minimum, they’re meant to be a cheap way to provide long-lasting minor illumination at night. Useful for navigating in the dark, and such. If people find (or suggest) other uses for them, though, I’m all for that.

[Braxton]

So, not sure if anyone is still using this topic to report bugs but I don’t feel like making whole topics for small bugs, so…

One other bug I noticed in science labs is that is you use a teleporter, you’re “@” dissapears from the map and you no longer can “discover” area in the science lab.
As in, you’ll be floating in blackness on the map, no "L"s. This could of been a one time thing, as I’ve yet to try and replicate it but feel free to try yourself.

Also, walked through a city, saw a area, all black, titled “Nothing”, I could walk on it, dig, but it was completely black. Not sure if that’s a thing or a bug.

EDIT: Also, items sometimes appear under the wrong title.
e.g. a Syringe in mods, a suppressor in medicine, stuff like that’

Item labeled as “None” is in my inventory. I believe it was an artifact I had gotten early that let me teleport and recharged by splatting me with boomer puke(Brillaint Design BTW)

It’s because some items are counted as belonging to multiple categories, which ends up messing up the positioning of category labels. I’ve fixed at least one instance of that in the dev version, but I’m not sure if there are other ways to cause it that I’ve missed.

It sounds like artifacts are all sorts of messed up. You’re the third person recently to report issues with saved artifacts. Hopefully someone decides to fix it (I’d consider doing it, but am not sure how much I’d spoiler myself, and am also working on other things).

I find that corpses like to stay on the window tile quite often, also I find that I can’t examine installed bionics. (I am sorry if I missed someone posting this, I skimmed through the topic.)

[Braxton]

Corpses shouldn’t be staying on windows, they’re designed to slide off of them when you kill them, I’m not sure how that happened to you.
Also, press “p” or “P” (I forget which) to see bionics.

As for MOAR Bugs, I was in a science lab today, full Power Armor, great weapons, during summer. All that fun stuff when suddenly I STOPPED BREATHING!
Completely random, I was just walking and then my chest health dropped from 90-something to 0.
Now, I was a heavy smoker and recently has taken some large dmg to my chest, but I had healed it back up to green.
I’m not sure if this is a bug or an effect of either of those two. Someone, please do tell.

Yes in the bionics list, I can’t examine the bionics (it’s p by the way, not P)
and when I am killing zombies they have a tendency to slide off, stay on the window tile, or just disappear!

[Williham]

Wetness isn’t currently handled really well, but work is proceeding to improve it.

[Braxton]

Ah, well I can answer both of those Q’s.

First, you can’t examine any of the bionics in your system, you can only activate ones with an active and that’s it, the ability to read what they do is only available when they’re not installed.(Unless you’re talking about actually using them, then I have no idea how to help you)

Second, zombie corpses do slide off, they’re designed to do that, and as for them disspearing, I’ve noticed it, and lost several bladed weapons that way. It’s a known bug and I’m sure one of the coders will get to it eventually.

Well, that’s just all kinds of wrong.

In the bionics screen (default [tt]p[/tt]), press [tt]![/tt] to switch between activate and examine modes. In examine mode, you can see what each of your bionics do, without activating them.

[Slax]

Seems the integrated toolset doesn’t work for deconstruction.

[Slax]

One more.
Attempting to completely fill my vehicle tanks at gas pumps always breaks them. Out of order, NO FUEL FOR YOU! Haven’t tested it but I assume it may have something to do with that fact that I have 6 tanks?

[grisamentum]

as others have said, artifacts consistently disappear from my inventory on save/reload

they become “none” although they seem to remember how many charges they’re supposed to have

but if you try to activate them they disappear completely.

I believe that if you have the capacity, you just keep refueling until they run out. So yeah, you’re probably just draining them dry.

No, they don’t give any fuel at all from what I could tell. Doing it one step at a time works fine though.

Noticed that the auto-fire mechanism for handguns currently does nothing. Can’t switch to burst fire.
Oh, and the Magazine +20 buff on the battle rifle conversion kit had me confused for a while. “Ooooooh, it’s a 20% increase.” Probably the same deal with the extended mag, I imagine. Add the percentage sign?

[krAbhandz]

If you use the auto-fire mechanism with Trigger Happy, you’ll get up to 3 shots when it goes off. Still can’t switch to burst though.

As for the gas, I remember reading that filling a container has a 1 in 50 chance of breaking the pump. Filling a vehicle also has a chance of breaking the pump, but the chance is checked more often, meaning you can get 40,000 units in a steel jerrycan without breakage but only 2,000 by directly filling a vehicle.

I’m also having trouble saving artifacts, whether they’re on the ground or my person. They show up as ‘none’ every time.

I think bladed weapons getting stuck is broken as well. When a weapon gets stuck, you lose 3 turns. My katana gets stuck EVERY swing, at 13 str and 6 cutting skill. Katanas shouldn’t get stuck. A broadsword, wood axe, or cleaver, maybe. Anyway, cutting weapons get stuck so often that there’s no point using them. A baseball bat will outdamage a katana every time.
