You can Cauterize your wounds with a knife to stop bleeding, and some times you just stop bleeding.

on the subject of cauterizing I think if you have a powered welder you don’t need a blade, I might have had one on me and not noticed it but i’m pretty sure you can just straight up weld that gash on your stomach shut which is actually quite a terrifying thought

“ACETLYNE IS MY COAGULANT”

Okay, so…

I have five normal solar panels installed on my vehicle. Are these really not enough to support one minifridge and kitchen reliably? I’ve got a sufficient amount of gas available to charge up that way too, but I was kinda hoping that I wouldn’t have to start up the engine too often.

I’ve installed the solar panels on the rear end of the vehicle, and there aren’t any roofs or anything above them, so I dunno what I’m doing wrong. I understand that I probably need more solar panels, but you’d think that having five of them would at least support one fridge, and all the other panels I’ve found thus far are broken and useless. Are the solar panels really that ineffective?

(Yes, I know there are better solar panels out there–I have yet to find the crafting recipe or the better solar car to take apart, so I’m making do)

I didn’t even get that reference and it still made me laugh

[quote=“John Candlebury, post:2978, topic:42”]It means your torso is infected.

It also means You are going to die unless you manage to find antibiotics in the next 48 hours. If your town has a pharmacy keep fighting going towards it, you got nothing to lose now.[/quote]

well its possible to heal with first aid kit and use soldering iron/welder/knife and fire/hotplate

It’s possible to disinfect a deep bite wound that way. But once the bite wound becomes infected, I’m pretty sure applying fire to the problem will only cure you in the sense that enough of it will eventually kill you and thus you won’t be infected anymore.

I stand by my position that fire can solve all problems if applied in large enough quantities…

Hello? This is the fire delivery service, what can I do for you today?

True enough.

No, man. Can you cure yourself of the flu by cutting your arm off with a lightsaber?

No?

You’re not curing yourself of zombie-itis that way either.

Shadowchaser · 2014-04-26T01:03:45.000Z

Mattamue:

Cauterizing can clean the infection.

To clarify:

Cauterizing the bite wound can PREVENT the infection from occurring. This is when you have the “Bite wound” or “deep wound” effect, I don’t recall which, on your @ sheet. You will receive notifications that the bite wound hurts, and that’s generally a reminder in case you haven’t noticed until now. You’ve got maybe a few hours I think to cauterize, disinfect, or use first aid.

Once infection has already set in, however, cauterizing the wound will not cure the infection itself. Antibiotics and lots of rest will prevent death, assuming you have enough supplies ready to survive for a few days of being effectively helpless. Otherwise, you will die halfway through vomiting up things you ate sometime last year.

Once, I was infected seconds after being bitten.

ChristopherWalken · 2014-04-26T08:00:01.000Z

Last time it happened to me, recovering from infection wasn’t THAT bad.

Mattamue:

Cauterizing can clean the infection.

Currently it’s actually a 50/50 gamble IIRC. If you succeed it will remove the bite wound, but if you fail it greatly accelerates you towards infection. Two failures in a row will make the wound infected currently.

Really? I remember cauterizing my wounds over and over again and all it did was put my characater in horrible pain. Eventually though the infection would be gone, at the cost of 80 pain or something huge like that.

Yea solar panels aren’t that great until you get upgraded ones, but you can collect up the solar cells off broken solar panels and use 12 of them to construct a new solar panel, I don’t remember what the recipe’s origin is though.
The main issue with solar panels is that it isn’t often clear or sunny out, so you need a bunch of them to capitalize on good weather when it happens.

Shadowchaser · 2014-04-27T11:31:49.000Z

It’d also help if ursine undead would stop breaking them.

Argh.
