Needful things (simple additions to improve the game)

Sirens for emergency vehicles, so you can attract the hordes to your base or lure them away.

I’d still like to know just why item transforming breaks body-part-coverage flags. Now I’m genuinely curious how that occurs. owo

Why not take the part of the code that Acidia added where you can choose the equipment for NPCs, even if you don’t yet have the commune up and running, so long as you gained significant trust with the particular NPC (by completing mission(s), giving them lots of valuable items, etc).

This would be good for roleplaying elements too. For example, you could have an NPC companion that could be your character’s spouse and it could be just you and them holed up in a safehouse somewhere. Naturally, with them being family they would be inclined to listen to your suggestion/orders about what clothing and weapons to equip.

Spouse/fiancee doing what told?!?
Highly unrealistic.

Add the ability to have them hand items back to you on demand, or automatically in certain situations, and this would be awesome.

I want my post-apocalyptic assistant automatic rifleman. o3o

Or atleast an ability to challenge them to a civil brawl to solve manners of greed without either one dying. >_>

Also. We have dusters, cowboy hats, bandanas, the Colt Navy revolver…I want a cowboy class. :V

EDIT: Also also, we could give bionic claws and/or monomolecular blades the knife use action. They already count as cutting/butchering tools. Removing the “NO_PICKUP” flag from bionic claws would also be nice. Last I checked, talon mutation and such things don’t disable picking up items, and you can still USE items just fine with them on.

I propose a craftable sawn-off single barrel shotgun. Seems silly I can saw a double barrel and not a single barrel one. Besides, I imagine it looking quite nice, like a brute flintlock pistol.

Edit: just saw there are sawn off pipe shotguns. It’s very similar but not possible to obtain by someone with a single barrel shotgun.

Random_dragon · 2015-06-14T03:11:09.000Z

Derp. A sawed-off break-action might be less crappy than a pipe shotty though.

[quote=“troll from behind, post:2142, topic:5570”]Could you add a new martial arts style, Survivor style, that you learn by compining exsisting MA’s the player has and uses.
This would simulate talented martial artist mixing different techniques from different styles to a balanced mix meeting all the needs.
Naturally havin several styles is costly or takes time to obtain the books needed.
Basically an advanced Brawling requiring two or more martial art styles.[/quote]

Haven’t got past this page but if it hasn’t been merged in yet, why?

Random_dragon · 2015-06-14T06:33:41.000Z

Could we maybe get code tweaks that allow the “stable” vehicle part flag to work without requiring the “wheel” flag? Basically so I can have sled skids that don’t count as wheels for the sake of movement, but DO count as wheels for the sake of not making noise when dragging it.

Vronkio · 2015-06-14T09:26:47.000Z

Would somekind of “Brace for impact” be out of question with polearms like spears?
Did think of it as a automatic counter if the player had enough time to set up.
Since I don’t know if there is function, that would allow to give extra damage based on relative velocities, maybe a crit would do and it would also slow impailed for a turn.
Downside besides beign stuck in one place would be higher chance of losing the weapon and damage to it when a hulk rams into it.

More exclusion!
Ability to disable weapons by type per world ( bows, thrown, handguns, rifles, shotguns, cut, pierce, bash & MA )

or perhaps a challenge scenario
where all the professions are restricted from various skill trees

troll_from_behind · 2015-06-15T21:21:13.000Z

Need moar bionic deathimplements!
Claws are nice for a catfight and the blade is damn hard to find.
Maybe adding a “medium claw for slashing” and the tradition Cyberpunk 2020 hammerhand and The Snake?
