And the dancers also regenerate. I fled from that encounter seasons ago. When my Iron Dragon is installed with all 24 NX-17 pulse turrets, I’ll return to the tiny hamlet where they should still be at and unleash the dakka.

Only one question. Are the dancers vulnerable to electricity the same way shoggoths are? I desire to slay an unmorphed Z-dancer, if possible.

Stuns don’t stop regeneration anymore (not that they were ever supposed to), so shoggoths will regenerate exactly the same if you are stunlocking them with tazers as they do if they are ripping your face off.

or sitting there ineffectively trying to murder your op charcter

-something to grind npc combat skills

Does anyone know how long it takes a charcoal kiln to produce charcoal?
I just built one and filled it with 2x4 on the craft menu turning it into a “filled charcoal kiln”, it says it’s gonna take a while but how much specifically?
I need this because winter is right around the corner on my world and it will hamper my exploration speed on labs.

Somewhere between 6-24 hours.

Someone else might give a more accurate number, but that should do in a pinch.

Does Krav Maga strictly only benefit unarmed combat? If not, what parts do work with weapons(bonus dmg, block,grabs,etc)?

I’ve never really given fighting styles a try. I will probably just stick with Ninjutsu but Krav Maga seems so badass on paper.

edit: I’m asking because I still want to use melee weapons.

All bladed and blunt weapons. So basically, all of them.

You need to activate it. I’ve done the same thing.

Heavy duty cable (20)? This is different than jumper cable, right? And what are those “charges” for?

[quote=“qurvax, post:5551, topic:42”]Heavy duty cable (20)? This is different than jumper cable, right? And what are those “charges” for?[/quote] it show how long its you can atach this to 2 cars like jumper cable but you are not limited to only 3 tiles away alslo heavy duty cable have small power loss

qurvax · 2014-11-29T11:37:30.000Z

Thank you

Then another question: can i use it to like have some frames with solar panels outside, and another frames with powered stuff inside connected by that cable?

So how do regular jumper cables work? I’ve tried attaching them to various car parts with no success. Removing it randomly fails sometimes, and it will give me a none after I “remove” it a second time.
Edit: The last time I tried getting them to work was in the stable version, I have no idea if they have changed since then.

Not sure myself, but maybe it works through the “e” interface with the cars like gasoline.

Nighthawk · 2014-11-29T13:35:11.000Z

Anyone know how to use floodlights? I found one sitting in a basement and thought, “wow, how useful” until I realized I had no clue how to turn it on.

Flare · 2014-11-29T13:36:26.000Z

You attach them to a car like headlights I think.

Valpo · 2014-11-29T13:37:57.000Z

is that a viable way of saying attach? i am not sure cause i have seen it often and i am not a native speaker. Or is it just a commen typo`?

Flare · 2014-11-29T14:15:14.000Z

No it’s a typo. I would blame it on typing on a phone but the h and k letters are not next to each other :-[.

Sunflash · 2014-11-29T16:45:31.000Z

from what i recall from other threads/understand; jumper cables/heavy cables should basically ttry to equalize the battery power between the two ‘vehicles’ they are hooked up to.

so in theory this should mean you coyld have a solar panel array in your yard, and have a cable running to your fridge/foodco unit inside somewhere.

how well that works i am unsure of yet due to not having the resources to test.
