Butchering quality weakly affects speed (1 turn for every 20 points, minimum 2.5 turns), but it seems to only affect number of results when it’s negative.

game.cpp: game::complete_butcher has the formula.
In short: survival matters a lot, dex a little, str only if it’s below 4 (but then a lot) and butchering quality only if it’s below 0 (but then also rather strongly).

Hotplates work, but I don’t think we have the infrastructure to use fire to warm food. Code can be weird that way. X-D

Why are stethoscopes so hard to find? Why are safes in spider basements so over powered?

[quote=“Raskulle, post:5098, topic:42”]What does “telefrag” mean.

It’s when an enemy is teleported into another enemy, killing them both.[/quote]

The teleporting entity doesn’t die. Source: I’ve personally telefragged a zombear while fucking around with my teleporter.

So uh…

How the hell does salvage work anyway? I’d like to break down shit like I used to be able to.

Apparently steel-toed boots are made of Unobtainium now.

Urist_McKoga · 2014-11-05T13:26:30.000Z

The problem with Steel-toed boots is one material is not cut-able. That new system gives both materials now, for example a combat boot gives kevlar and leather. I don’t know why we cannot receive scrap metal, but in my last play (2310, cannot check in college now) i cannot cut steel-toed boots.

You’re seriously have a hard time finding scrap metal? You can get it from breaking literally almost anything metal. If you wanted larger pieces to dissemble/craft-breakdown, hardware stores have recyclers behind them, but again, any metal shelf IN a store would give you a ton of scrap.

I could care less about the scrap metal, it’s the leather I want. That and the Kevlar from other things. Regardless, my question has been answered.

What item deals the least damage? I know there are some items that deal negative damage, like a wool scarf, but what deals the least?

Batteries. They have 1 bashing damage and nothing else. (There are some other things with the same stats, but I forgot them.)

And there are things that have no combat stats, like certain clothes, and books.

Money bundles do -8 bashing and -3 cutting, but there may be worse things

Is there a way to read a book for so long until you have all the recipies memorised without having to press R -> “Book” over and over again?

Looks like I’m going to be beating hulks to death with money bundles now. CAPITALISM!
