Are mutagens midgame contents? Or endgame? How can I know if im ready to use them?

I’d consider mutagens to be mid-game (just starting out) to end-game (Purposefully breaking a chosen threshold).

Do you have either a) robust genetics or b) the ability to make an arbitrary amount of purifier and a safe place to do so? You’re ready.

If you have robust genetics, you can usually get away with dabbling a bit even in the early game, if you happen to find some.

If you have more purifier than mutagen, you can try some pretty safely.

Serious mutagen usage (like trying to break a threshold or getting a fairly tailored set of mutations) is usually considered late game, as it generally requires lots of supplies, high skills, lots of time, a chem set, and a safe place to get strung out.

pks mod should make it available for midgame characters if you can find the books or powerlevel.

at 2 cooking you can craft flavored mutagen with blobs or tainted tallow, ammonia, and whatever themed item the flavor requires

Does the Chest Rig only hold 1 mag? Back in my army days our chest rig could hold 8 mags, 2 in each pouch with 4 pouchs on the rig…
Do i have to make the Chest Rig and 8 chest ammo pouchs and just imagen they are sown on?

I think the main reason it’s like that is it allows addition item storage + a magazine also I don’t know if it is possible to have a rig with multiple ammo pouches in the same way as you can have a belt that can sheath a knife and a sword at the same time (since those are separate holsterables)

This, plus yeah, it’s mainly a coding restraint in how holsterables work.
Also the entire ‘survivors store tin cans of beans in chest rigs because more food > more ammo’ thing. Restricting it to only holding ammo, or having to code in removing a number of holstered mags due to storage used, would be a nightmare.

I do think it should have more storage, though. As it is it’s barely better than a tool belt or the like IIRC.

My original wood door broke down and I’m trying to replace it with a metal one, but it wouldn’t let me build. I checked that i have all the resources and skills, but I can’t build there.

Is the space clear of all objects?

Yea, I just figured that out, but thanks anyway.

[Walegrin]

No problem _Rogue. Trust be, I learned that one the hard way many times…

I’m waiting out a rain/thunderstorm in m tent but I’m still getting wet or at least not drying. (Still got the wet -10 morale malus)
Bug or intended?

[pisskop]

use a towel?

[Eisen]

You don’t need towels to dry. Waiting inside usually does the trick. My question was about tents.

[kuros]

Is the malus increasing? If it is, then you’re still getting wet. The other way to test what’s happening, as has been suggested, is to activate a towel to dry yourself of (removing the malus) and then seeing if it comes back.

There’s a chance you might be in a damaged tent.

[NuG]

Always gotta bring a towel with you, until your gear is all waterproof at least… I usually still carry one after that, but have been leaving it in the truck just because I don’t seem to ever need it with the gear I’m wearing. It’s good for if you get slime or whatever on you too.

[pisskop]

I bring 2 with me early game, and keep 4 in my car.

Easy to craft, easy to drop and replace.

Carry a folded plastic bag and a few towels everywhere.

P:
The list of crap I always carry is actually kind of long.

• Skittles for days: aspirin, painkillers, first aid, bandages, eye drops, multivitamins, adrenaline, Dr Stem, cocaine
• 1 molotov and 1 smoke bomb, optional manhacks
• 2 weapons
• some pebbles and a sling
• folded plastic bag
• poncho or umbrella or towels
• rubber hose
• lighter
• thread or splintered wood

amoung other things

[TheKobold]

Folded plastic bag?

[pisskop]

unfold it for instant storage when raiding.

use a rucksack or molle pack for more storage potential at the cost of higher encumbrance and less prewearing space
