Also, can you actually use a vehicle welding rig to install parts onto another vehicle? Because I’ve got one on a shopping cart right next to me, and it’s fully charged, but I can’t install anything onto another vehicle next to it.

The vehicle batteries need to have power, and you need to be standing closeish to the welding rig.

Oh, apparently I didn’t have welding goggles. Once I found a pair, it worked fine. Admittedly, that renders my detour to a nearby lab in search of an Integrated Toolset somewhat redundant, but there’s never a reason not to have a Toolset, I guess.

Indeed. You can cook on it.

Okay, so is there any way to kill monsters en masse with the debug menu? There are so many blobs crowding my car that it is crashing my game.

Throw some grenades at them? And if you want more, there is the mininuke - that will null your insurance contract though.

</div>

Oh, mininukes were the first thing I tried. Doesn’t put much of a dent in them. I’m more looking for a ‘kill all nearby blobs’ sort of thing.

Hmm, I’m not exactly knowledgeable about this mass murder thing… but have you tried mass molotov cocktails? The fire should kill them pretty fast.

After lobbing a couple the game crashes. I suspect that killing them and causing them to split puts the game or my computer over some critical threshold of too many monsters.

I think of stuff like that as the rng rolling a natural 00 on me.

can you place turrets on cars? (The ones that come as “inactive turrets,” not M249s or plasma guns).

Ok so I would love a Foodco Kitchen buddy for my vehicle, only problem is I can’t seem to make one. Is it a special recipie you have to find or do you have to actually find an intact one to install?

The book ‘DIY Compendium’ tells you the recipe for it.

Mostly irrelevant to the game, but do guns usually have a label on them stating the model/manufacturer? Or do all games just assume you know every kind of gun? I need to know if a character in my fanfic would know what model a gun was without any real gun knowledge.

The guns I’ve used never had any kind of labeling on them but I’m not an expert and have only shot a few different types.
