Omg just crafted myself a cargo dimension… 1 mio storage space for your vehicle. Need a portal generator, teleporter, 5 plutonium cells and a cargo carrier, 3 electronics 3 mechanics difficulty 8, can find it under other/materials/stabelized portal… this is fcking awesome, can have a bike with 1 mio cargo space if you wish. LoL

I’m guessing it behaves sort of like real diesel and trying to run gas in it would work out poorly for my car? Any real advantage to one over the other, or over my usual electric preference?

Whoa, really? How long has it been since you’ve played? It’s in 0.C, and I think it was in 0.B (when I started playing) as well…

But to your actual question, I don’t think the game actually LETS you try to use the wrong thing. Gas engines take fuel from gas tanks, diesel engines take fuel from diesel tanks, and I’ve never noticed a way in the interface to put the wrong thing in a tank (probably SHOULD let you, but I haven’t seen a way).[/quote]

Well, I’m pretty sure the last time I played was a late 0.A or early 0.B - admittedly I had no idea was I was doing, usually played drunk, and didn’t get far XD, so I might have just missed it.

I guess I’ll have to test it - I think you’re likely right. My only concern was that a car with both gas and diesel would run into trouble, but thinking about it that probably doesn’t make much sense.

Looks like I’m still out of date as I’m currently playing 0.C 230d3dc.

what addon adds cargo dimesion? i want to make large mobile base but even cargo carriers are far too small

[Tawarochir]

More Vehicle Parts, I believe.

Sadly it still has the 4096 item cap and i think add weight to your car, so your gonna need a good engine on that bike
(…i noticed foos of steels and metal scraps now stack… yet rags, plastic chunks, and other common 100+ items still do not…)

Using a Humvee, already placed 7000+ (amount, not volume) inside one and seems ok, so i guess that cap isnt playing a role here. Made myself two dimensional cargos, luckily had another set of parts needed already stored, sooo much better lol, one stockpile for weapons, ammo, armors and one for everything else. The weight part is true thou, the Humvee weights 24000lbs already hehe. Super cool thing thou, the lack of cargo space was the only thing bothering me at mobile base. Now i can make a super large stockpile of everything i need for crafting on one tile.

Seems like a very easy json editing project for somebody interested. (hint hint, nude nudge wink wink).

Sadly when most of the dev people are extremely uptight about realism (…look at zombies and laser guns…yea…); I’m not the one who has the brain to crunch numbers for just how many rags can i fit in 1 omni-size 1 “volume” pocket

I just felt it was odd that only 1 of the salvage resources turned to stacks rather then all of them in the span of time i was gone

[pisskop]

a rag isnt a patch ot cloth. 4 of them are a bath towel. meaning each is maybe 1 square foot of cloth. they dont stack because of storage, and because of their abstract size/thickness/quality.

if you could pile six thousand of them together into a trunk youd have to allow three hundred sheets to fit too.

However you can pile steel scraps when they are as big and abstract as rags

When I’m looking at guns, the stats and stuff often push the description away. When looking at stuff in the inventory, how do you scroll down?

Which gun mods are good when? Feeling a bit lost.

Are slugs any good? Went with rifled barrel as suggested with them and the shotgun now deals less damage than my sig sauer in zombies, even up close, which makes little sense.

[Adragis029]

Personally I find that suppressors are good always. Damage < Making less noise for zombies to hear and bork you over. Other things, I’d just say it depends on what they are. Not too experienced.

Slugs are actually less accurate than buckshot at short range too. They can go at crazy 45 degree angles at low-ish skill. I recommend only using 00 shot, and birdshot for backup ammo/against weak animals you don’t want to splatter everywhere.

[Findulidas]

Yeah slugs really seem unimpressive. My nailgun with burst or my modded pneumatic bolt rifle seem superior in almost all ways. Both silent, more accurate and deal more damage per shot.

[Adragis029]

00 shot is really nifty, though.
Not silent, though. Never silent.

[pisskop]

you dont use a gun becausw you want to be quiet.

i use rifles for range, shotguns for defense, revolvers forwhen i pack a rifle, and a peashooter for little guys and with a shotgun

[Findulidas]

How can i repair my damaged kukri? When I press mend while having it selected it says that there is nothing to mend so no help there.

What point is there in not going for silent though when the silent weapons are equal in damage, more accurate and use ammo which is very plentiful. Seems to me that slugs need a buff since there is little point in using them?
