Make a fantastic death-mobile and disassemble pillows to restore health, that should make you tired relatively quickly

[quote=“Coolthulhu, post:5661, topic:42”]Atomic coffee overdose.  
Can take a looooong time to pass, because there is no cap. Each dose of atomic coffee reduces your fatigue by 300. Ambien increases it by 40, cough syrup by 30 and thorazine by 5. Otherwise it decreases by 1 per 5 minutes of being awake.[/quote]

Wait, doen´t that mean about 1 day of not sleeping per cup of atomic coffee?  
I´ve had a whole bunch when I first found the atomic cofeemaker, gotta be more careful with that stuff i guess 😃

Anyways thanks for the help.

Already got a nice mobile and looted the whole town.  
Regular healing is not a problem (I rarely get hit) its the cutting out of malfunctioning bionics that really hurts,  
i had to use like 15 first aid kits to heal back up after the first attempt.

If you want to abuse atomic coffee, it’s a good idea to take one of the mutant backgrounds (experiment or lab) and take radiogenic.  
You can then heal by drinking atomic coffee.  
Or even abuse/exploit/“git gud at using” radiogenic by

damaging a radioactive item, like plutonium cell or an atomic coffee maker, carrying it in inventory when needing to heal and dropping it when it starts to hurt to regenerate for free without sleeping.

It can be locked up in the vault. Lots of things can be secured in bank vaults, some of which are very very nice and others just goldbricking.

I’ve been going up the bird mutation path, but even though it says I have speed boosts, my speed still says 110. Is there a maximum amount where buffs stop? Right now I have light bones, road runner, and quick. When I mutated to hollow bones from light bones, it said 20% boost to attack speed and movement, but I can’t tell if it actually changed.

I know this is probably an obvious question, but if I have a broken window in my house will the wind and cold from outside effect the inside of my home in the game or only when I step outside of the house?

Is there a limit to the bionics you can have?

Can certain bionics prevent the installation of others?

Any reason not to install every bionic you find?

I think someone here said he had so many bionics he ran out of hotkeys for them, but other than the Fusion Blaster Arm, I don’t know any CBMS that have any real consequences. I remember them saying certain mutations and bionics wouldn’t be compatible but I don’t think thats been coded yet.

You certainly can, dojos quite often have a book or few on various styles. It takes just five minutes of reading to become proficient in a martial art 😉
