[quote=“FunsizeNinja123, post:5179, topic:42”][quote=“kingorkami, post:5178, topic:42”]Guys why is my side bar suddenly looking like this?
The log text used to come after the stats/temperature/whatever thing.
This is annoying since I now have to look all the way down to get a grasp of what’s happening.
Is this a bug or a “feature”?

That’s… Odd.

Just to check, is your sidebar mode in “standard” or “narrow” setting?[/quote]

With narrow it works correctly (though text still prints the most recent events in the lower part, dunno if that’s normal)
With “wider” it goes just like the screenshot.
Which is annoying
as
fuck.

EDIT: Another question, is there anything I can do with the extra CBMs I have? I found multiple copies of the same CBM and it would be a waste to just drop them and leave…

Some can be disassembled. Other than that, nothing aside from trading or stashing for future characters.

What level computers do I need to hack into the lab computer that opens the lab bunker? And what’s actually in there?

Set it off in your inventory. Just trust me on this one. Marloss Man Reborn, my character, the guy in my sig, is so OP because of Granades.

It’s a random roll, expect to fail below 3 and succeed above 5.
You can always wreck the walls with dynamite/pickaxe/jackhammer, but that will spawn turrets.

You mean science lab or bunker? Science lab is a big location full of great recipe books, chemistry stuff, bionics and turrets, while bunker has only some turrets (but those are much stronger than science ones) and some exotic weaponry inside, often without matching ammo.

bunker can lead into science lab if there is one nearby (that moment when you have 16 science id and you battle milscep turrets in bunker and find lab instead of weapons)

Before I do anything stoopit, is fireproof clothing actually fireproof now? Even to temple flames?

bahihs · 2014-11-10T00:20:23.000Z

Its a bunker that seems to be connected to a lab (I guess). There is a computer terminal which asks to open the doors to the “bunker”. Looking at the overhead map however, there are no bunkers nearby (except one, far to the north but I’m quite sure it can’t be that one).

Clothing? Not to my knowledge. We should have the aug fixed though, so an active RM13 suit, Thermal Dissipation aug, or having mutated Mycus Fireproofing ought to guarantee fireproofing.

As for the lab question, it sounds like someone’s trying for the armory or other compartmentalized room. Those can be tough, especially when you get the one that’s (intentionally, I think) locked from the wrong side.

Find a teleporter pad trap, and place it next to the entrance. Eventually you will be able to get through and unlock it from the other side.

How well to roller’s work?

Very, very well. If anything stands before you, it won’t any more.

I’ll make sure to put some drums on my vehicle in progress.

blazing_glory · 2014-11-10T03:01:18.000Z

How well do they work on crushing other vehicles? I was driving a roller to my vehicle construction site since I’d never get the drums on my bike, and I tested it out on a car, all that happened was moderate damage to the frames and me losing nearly all the roller drums on the front.

I swear I once found a granade a long time ago, many versions ago or something, and I thought it was a typo or something. So when I needed to blow up some zeds I pulled the pin and to my surprise it instantly exploded in my hand (and killed me). Never used them since, I know i’ve passed up ATLEAST one on my current char. Which sucks because now it sounds like it is a good thing…

It’s the chance you take. Personally, being an easter egg thing, I don’t feel bad about savescumming if I get nerfed.

fish_have_fingers_no · 2014-11-10T11:33:05.000Z

I have a question. How does the trait Parkour work? Bushes/windows/etc or does it work when jumping over wire fences as well?

I thought that Granades can’t kill you only bring you down to 1 hp.
