blow it up with a 2L tank filled with gasoline and a well placed gas trail! /o/|

… wait that might be a bit excessive

Is there a way to see what my current unnarmed damage stats are like I can check a weapons stats? I’m curious how much of a benefit wielding my trench knife is at this point or if I should just stay focused on my hoofs and talons and not have to put anything away to tear shockers apart.

It isn’t excessive if you don’t use the 60L ADX charge added by one of my mods (making one of these is more complicated and expensive than a mininuke)

that was a joke.

its easier to find a pickaxe or a jackhammer.

also why would you make an explosive mod specifically for getting into walls/doors (thats… harder than a mininuke to get???) when things already exist for that exact purpose?

I wasn’t going to use it for that I was just saying your method wasn’t excessive

Can i toggle on off attack when move
Because i lose my character by accidentally attack with bodybag
Lol

if you turned off attacking when you move… then how would you attack at all?
easy answer is guns… but i mean with melee weapons

That’s kind of the goal. to be able to turn off attacking when carrying something that will waste a century trying to swing for 0 damage with. better to not attack than attack with that.

I believe force unnarmed fighting stance might work well enough as it’s unlikely your unarmed attack would be super slow.

I’d like to echo that - nearly lost my character trying to fight holding her folded bicycle…

A “passive move” mode could be useful for that, but if you’re not watching which tile your about to enter anyway, it wouldn’t necessarily fix the problem. :slight_smile: I’m assuming some beast or zombie stepped in the way while tapping move keys?

i mean, thats what alert mode is for y’guys XD

so that when you’re auto moving from place to place you get alerted as soon as something pops into your vision, which gives you time to drop what you’re carrying and pull out your real weapon.

the only place you wouldnt be able to apply that would be in small tight spaces.

Forgot what i had in my hands when i ‘smashed’ a window with the following result:

Cataclysm Quick Slip #5 - Window Smash Epic Fail

Is there a way to change the range for alert mode? It reaches way too far so I always leave it turned off permenantly so I don’t have to constantly mash ignore. But ya I think Vorms vid is a good indicator of what can happen with the wrong item lol

not that i know of… really i leave it off most of the time too, but i also make sure that i’m either wielding a weapon or have my hands empty at almost all times (unless i’m doing something like assembling/disassembling a car, where that’d be impossible.) i assume that… in vormithrax’s case above, he was grabbing that tank because he wanted it for a specific purpose, and was trying to get out of there with it (thus, forgetting he had it equipped, because he wasnt trying to fight with it, he was trying to get away) i usually dont smash windows, i E them, either they’re open or they’re locked and the crowbar i have on me works just fine… i can see how smashing a window would be a faster solution in an emergency situation though, to break line of sight and then put a few doors between you and whats following you.

Does cooking have any proficiencies you need to learn?

Like Baking, Grilling, Gourmet?

doesnt seem like it. theres proficiencies for chemistry, elecronics, gunsmithing, metalwork, tailoring, traps, wilderness (?) and woodworking. (theres also an ‘other’ on the list here.)

Okay, so then that’s not something I have to worry about, ‘for now’ that is.
