There don’t seem to be any lariats for that full cowboy on a horse “goin’ out to lasso me some chkins” vibe.

But if you want some South American flavor, you could always try catching the chickens with bolas. They’re in the game. Survival and fab of 2 required, plus 3 short ropes (or short vines or short cordage ropes) and 3 rocks. Sounds pretty simple.

Go, go, Gaucho!

Hahaha 😃  
I’ll give it a try. Without the horse I can’t get even 20 tiles close to them.

I always tried to corral them toward a fence or wall, something that’ll block their escape enough for me to close in on them. Sometimes a little prep work before the chase pays off, like opening the door of a shed or something where they’ll be trapped and at your mercy.

About the numerous refugees in the Refugee Center (not the beggars), can they be recruited? It seems not … are they only for ‘fluff’?

Halligan bar vs crowbar, what would be the additional benefit? Even more chance to succeed when prying something? Or it allows extra things to be pryied?

Id say crowbar is better. It can pry as good as the bar. Its only con was it has less bash points than the bar. And the bar is heavier, and heavy things aint that good beside being used once when you really needed it.

Never used it myself but there is “vehicle patrol zone” in zone manager. Should probably add one and see what happens.

Halligan gives you hammering 2, and digging one, to the crowbar’s hammering 1 – equal to a rock. The Halligan bar also adds brutal and sweep techniques, making more powerful in combat.  
I believe prying 4 is supposed to make prying faster than prying 3, but I’m unsure if that actually works.

Is there somewhere the comparative horse power of engines in CDDA? Namely how the ‘large electric motor’ is positioned compared to some others?

Look for cruising power, remember that 1kW = 1.33hp. So in case of large electric motor, it’s about 180hp.

Thanks!

Who is Apis? It seems to be a NPC in wasps hives and sequestered in Mi-Go Tower. Apis being the Latin word for bee if not mistaken, is that a Wasp Queen?

Apis is the weird mutant who lives in the center of bee hives.

As far as I know, there aren’t any wasp queens.

**Stealing.**

It seems it is safe to steal if nobody is within sight, can someone confirm?

Yes, your stolen loot is 100% safe as long as nobody saw you take it. Makes the refugee center a massive loot piñata if you feel like looting it.
