Obligatory February 24 bug thread

jimboblordofeskimos · 2013-02-25T17:42:44.000Z

Ive been playing for a bit and have just been informed I cant wield rifles with one arm, never noticed loosing one, unless a hulk managed to rip it off in one hit, but I dont think I ever had any huge pain spikes and the rest of my body apart from chest has never gotten past yellow.
Not sure if bug or I just non observant.

Do you have any mutations or bionics? The fusion blaster arm replaces an arm.

Commodore · 2013-02-25T18:17:15.000Z

@Darkling: Thanks. I wasn’t sure so I’m probably just going to start dumping them here since it wont run off to foolz in a day or two. Not sure if bug or feature but beds & tables can’t be moved with the move furniture command. Can’t deconstruct doors either.

The_Darkling_Wolf · 2013-02-25T18:30:50.000Z

Yeah, crossposting them here is pretty handy, I tend to miss threads that move too fast. Beds and tables are technically multitile, so they won’t be moveable, and doors I’ll look at.

Ahh, crap, thats it.

There is a typo : “Wood ax” instead of “Wood axe” (or “wooden” i can’t remember, but the “ax” part is certain).

Vorpal · 2013-02-25T19:30:22.000Z

Wood Ax is correct, in the US at least. Axe is the English spelling. Wood designates it as being used to chop wood, as opposed to a wooden axe, which would be made of wood.

Tchey · 2013-02-25T19:45:18.000Z

Good to know (i’m french). First time i see “ax”, never before, in any subtitle, game or book, if i remember well.

The_Darkling_Wolf · 2013-02-25T20:09:04.000Z

Yeah, I’m leaving Americanisms like that alone.

The Darkling Wolf:

Yeah, I’m leaving Americanisms like that alone.

Perhaps later in the development there could be an option for that in the aptly named options.txt?
Or do you simply want to leave the Americanisms in because it’s set in New England?

Winter boots do not gain the “reinforced” string when enhanced. And thank you whichever dev enabled reading entertainment books at low morale. It’s making mood swings playable.

Vorpal:

While wielding a 28" wide wheel, and trying to install it on my motorbike, I ended up installing a 0" wide wheel, and not using up the wielded wheel.

Fix’d. For now you should drop the wheel before installing.

Commodore:

I don’t think bicycles can go in reverse. or it’s so slow that I couldn’t do it before mobs showed up.

I made sure that they can. You may have noticed that when starting a vehicle in reverse, they get a huge initial boost. I killed the boost, made reverse acceleration weaker, and made the stopping thresholds low enough that bicycles can go in reverse. It just takes several turns before you’ll notice.

The problem with bicycles is that they weigh too much, because vehicle frame components are all still the same size. And also bicycles have car seats

ComputerWarrior · 2013-02-26T09:32:17.000Z

Ah, just found a bug. Not particularly annoying, more like one that can be easily used to cheat. If there are monsters (or animals) trapped outside the Evac Shelter and you go downstairs in the Evac Shelter and then come back up, all of the monsters that were near the shelter will disappear.

However, I don’t know if it also applies to creatures that wander inside the shelter.

solar panels aint working.
also, auto “saving game” seems to break ‘waiting’ command.

Thanks, fix’d. My bad.

Crossposting some bugs

You can’t drink from a toilet when items are covering it. Doesn’t let you interact like disarming traps does.

Got another bug. Cigars use the “You light a cigarette and smoke it.” string. I didn’t lug these babies through 3 infested towns on a half empty 2L bike to have a victory “cigarette” and whisky binge.

Just got Cata to crash while spamming *~ to deconstruct furniture while it was deconstructing. Good thing autosave is a BAMF.
“Edit” Found it! The game crashes if you press ` while having the construction menu open.

Rain coats still lack a “reinforced” prefix when reinforced. I presume Winter boots still lack it too.

Just had a zombie teleport into a bathroom. Might be a glitch with Necro letting him vive out of LoS stuff. He’s crrently on the far left of the building still out of sight of even the alley. This is the second time it’s happened

Cata just -froze. No discernible reason other than it’s pissed i’m still alive. Was picking up some rocks, not near a glitch area. Presuming it was just one of those glitches. Been fine for about 4 hours now anyway.

Oh and got a question, Do pilot lights actually exist in-game?

French people aren’t real.

ComputerWarrior · 2013-02-27T16:25:33.000Z

I have nothing too serious to report. Just two minor bugs that shall be listed below.

The entire “Items overview” section in the help menu is blank.

I put a glass bottle of whiskey in the fridge whilst in a farm, and latter when I went back to take a chug from it, I found out its glass bottle had disappeared and there was only “whiskey (21)” in my fridge… whiskey that, because it’s a liquid, couldn’t be drunk.

EDIT: Found another one. When moving furniture to a rock floor and moving them again to another place, the rock floor tile they were previously on will magically turn to a wooden one.

TDW mentioned that they were obtainable through disassembling items. Can’t recall what item it was though.

GalenEvil · 2013-03-01T06:15:33.000Z

disassembly of lighters give you a pilot light I believe. You also get a stack of air, called “none” in game in the amount of whatever fuel you had left in the lighter
