Latest experimental features

[quote=“Rivet, post:600, topic:5582”]I finally got off my butt and fixed the boneless zombies and humans thing we’ve had going since, like, forever.

Now you can turn zombies into charcoal and candles, so that’s nice.[/quote]
Oh mah gaaaaawd! Thankyou so much!

A new trait has been added to chargen: spiritual, that boosts your morale every time you read religious texts or “experience mystical things”. Hmm.

For a second there I thought it said stat and I thought I was in the terrible suggestions topic.

OH that’s nice. Gives the religious texts their purpose but only under player character’s choice. That works out neatly. :smiley:

I am still enjoying the new items I can forage for tanning leather, along with straw and such. Makes foraging in the forest feel like I’m not skipping entire shrubs over for a bone or an egg, without this clutter being Junk.

Might as well give the spiritual trait morale boosts when you use trippy drugs too.

Interesting! Perhaps there should be a chance that when spiritual (and rarely when not), you will see a religious figure or experience… while tripping balls, of course.

It already does.

Characters possessing the Spiritual trait gain bonus morale when consuming certain natural entheogens (mushroom_magic).

I would like to marry whoever added dome lights

Look out for DavidKeaton on Git or DaveKDOS on the IRC, then.

How bad are dome lights on the cars battery?

RipRoarinBoogerPenis: the battery I set to be very minimal, as their real life counterparts.

AllisonW: Hello there. :stuck_out_tongue: I would’ve made them sooner if I had known! Lol.

Edit: phone keyboard

DavekDOS: thank you kindly sir I fuckin’ love’em

Boogerdick: They are incredibly gentle. I ride a motorbike with a motorbike battery, and I can safely use the dome light to craft by at night without running it down. That’s how light on the battery dome lights are. As an added bonus, any tile with controls on it has a dome light. I have controls installed on all the utility tiles on my home utilities rig for this purpose. They don’t really provide any light to see tiles by–as far as I can tell, that’s not their purpose–but they will totally let you read or craft. They’re great.

Absolutely! I wanted them for a while, but a bug in some lightmap code delayed it. Sorry it took so long!

Also, the aisle lights are rad in the back of an RV. Like a mobile home!

Nifty new veh-install menu upgrade:

  1. Parts list is now sorted by category, similar to crafting and construction. Stuff’s still sorted to the top, but now it’s less Long. “All” category still the default, so nothing lost here.

  2. Mini-item window pops up to tell you the basics about your proposed addition. Kinda handy, lets folks know if it’s opaque, openable, how much storage, etc.

KA101 sets up a security checkpoint staffed with zombie techs and sends the player through. Not surprisingly, the metal detector goes off.

Please remove any metallic items you may be carrying, keys, loose ammo, zweihanders, that sort of thing.

PC does the Lobby Shooting Spree reveal

OK, please remove those metallic objects for the PC, folks.

The zombie techs fire up their Electromagnetic Unit CBMs and yank the metallic weapons as the PC tries to hit KA101 for merging Gabriel-SE’s PR.

And here I thought Kevin didn’t want enemies disarming the player

I approve of this PR anyway

Will you be able to devote your character to a particular religion?

Far as I can tell, no. Your actions by keeping preferential holy books in your inventory can reflect this pretty readily now that there’s a general bonus to back it up, so it’s a good balance of detail and simplicity imo.

Oh, Ah well. I suppose that the Spaghetti Paladin shall slay as many zombies as his zweihander can handle now.

Vacuum Sealers are now craftable, that’s a pretty huge deal now it’ll be easier to make them FOODCO kitchen buddies.

Proper ones or just makeshift ones? Can makeshift ones still be used to craft kitchen buddies?
