According to the item browser, pretty much all robots except the tank drone are LARGE or smaller. Sounds like you could get together a horde of robots in a truck and drive around annihilating hordes, which makes me very happy.
I suggested a while back that we just treat stairs/ramps as existing on multiple Z-levels at once, and some people thought that was not a bad thought. But the implementation is tricky and the map code is complicated and weird, so Iâm not about to write the necessary changes.
But the inability to transfer even small vehicles between Z-levels is deeply frustrating.
Youâve been able to attach bags to your dogs and load the bags with stuff for nearly two years, as best I can tell. I donât know if dogs will reliably follow you through Z-levels, though.
Not as far as I know. You can put activated dynamite in a dogâs bag, but itâll be a friendly dog loaded with dynamite that wants to hang around near you.
If the dog whistle still works, you used to be able to blow it and the dog would switch between passive (will keep near to you) and aggressive (will rush over and attack pretty much anything that it thinks looks funny) but I havenât used one in years.
So you could probably use a dog for dynamite delivery if youâre crazy enough. Theyâll even go around corners, which will give you cover from the blast.
Dog ai is funky, often times they will stop and just meander in an area refusing to follow, even when passive. Some times it seems like they are tracking an animal. They also seem to become lost if they lose line of sight of the player.
Pre-Freeze I had put dandelion wine must in a tank for storage so in turn after I built a vat i could have wine in my car now it sits in a keg in a cargo spot
Its much better now. Items cant be frozen and hot. You can heat up by placing items next to a flame, as well as using a hotplate. You can also keep items underground or in root cellars.
Iâm finding some things very frustrating as a very old player. I can easily see fresh fruit, for instance, having a texture quality debuff if frozen, but lasagne, or spagetti, or B&R should heat and thaw without consequence. I eat frozen foods like that IRL and experience no downsides. Iâm updating regularly, but I donât see any discussion of the mushy debuff, so Iâm not sure itâs anyone except me. I kinda like the massive bumps to big Zâs, although theyâre gatekeeping pretty hard for the areas they spawn. The recent changes to solar and electric really nerf solar vehicles; you can barely keep a rig operating with 20 solar panels and a few devices, which isnât exactly a downside, but definitely seems to require hybrid engines. You canât self-install CBMâs anymore, which is expected. Havenât found a single autodoc yet, so have a big pile of bionics to install when opportunity presents.
Think those are the big changes in the last few weeks. On the whole, Iâd say worth updating, but expect a different game from even 4 months back.
