Found a glowing pin

I just moved through a pile of rough rubble.
In it, I found a glowing pin. "this pointed rod glows faintly"
I also picked up some irradiation while moving through the rubble.
I got these two messages:
“You can see through walls”
“You feel an otherworldy attention upon you”

  • are those messages related to radiation, or to the glowing pin?
  • what does this otherworldly attention mean?
  • where can I see which mutations my character acquires?

Congratulations you just found an artifact. Artifacts give u super abilities like turning invisible. However there are penalties… decreased starts, high thirst, etc. You’ll have to find out about that yourself.

oh wow, I just used a bottle of mutagen, and it increased my night vision to high and then to full nightvision in one pop.
Reading in the dark, hurray.
I think the glowing pin also gives random mutations over time as it’s negative.
I have the robust genetics trait, so should be fun.

EDIT: next bottle of mutagen gave me infrared vision. I think this char can see quite well now.

EDIT: question: is keeping a backup save as simple as just copying the save directory somewhere?

yep :slight_smile:

A “spoiler” is something a Conservative puts on xyr car. Check the Artifacts wiki page and inform yourself!

-Those would be the pin.
-Netherworld critters are a little more likely to wander over and make themselves known.
-Status screen, same place as the chargen traits. (Mutations are the same general idea.)

Or it could be like this…


Hope you don’t miss your privacy.

Meh. martinuzz asked and I despise vague “good luck finding that out” replies. So, I answered. Sorry it ruined your game. :confused:

Far from ruined, if we didn’t want to know we wouldn’t ask/be here reading.

Just figured I’d throw in a pair of bad puns.

I tried finding a spoiler tag button, but can’t find it on this forum.


EDIT: Aha, NoScript was blocking it
