My survivor hasn´t slep since ~ 10 days and is not even tired yet. Does anybody know why?

Atomic coffee overdose.
Can take a looooong time to pass, because there is no cap. Each dose of atomic coffee reduces your fatigue by 300. Ambien increases it by 40, cough syrup by 30 and thorazine by 5. Otherwise it decreases by 1 per 5 minutes of being awake.

If you are playing old version (I think stable still has it), you also gain extra heat from this.

Make a fantastic death-mobile and disassemble pillows to restore health, that should make you tired relatively quickly

Wait, doen´t that mean about 1 day of not sleeping per cup of atomic coffee?
I´ve had a whole bunch when I first found the atomic cofeemaker, gotta be more careful with that stuff i guess

Anyways thanks for the help.

Already got a nice mobile and looted the whole town.
Regular healing is not a problem (I rarely get hit) its the cutting out of malfunctioning bionics that really hurts,
i had to use like 15 first aid kits to heal back up after the first attempt.

Make it more fantastic

If you want to abuse atomic coffee, it’s a good idea to take one of the mutant backgrounds (experiment or lab) and take radiogenic.
You can then heal by drinking atomic coffee.
Or even abuse/exploit/“git gud at using” radiogenic by

damaging a radioactive item, like plutonium cell or an atomic coffee maker, carrying it in inventory when needing to heal and dropping it when it starts to hurt to regenerate for free without sleeping.

So now that gun stores are reinforced with metal, are there any non extreme methods of getting in?

Catfoodbob · 2014-12-06T01:13:30.000Z

a sledgehammer will get you into most any building from science labs to doctors office safes, and police safes, wont get you into a bank though

blazing_glory · 2014-12-06T01:32:15.000Z

Don’t see why I would want to be in a bank anyway, all it has is money.

Don’t forget power armor!

It can be locked up in the vault. Lots of things can be secured in bank vaults, some of which are very very nice and others just goldbricking.

I’ve been going up the bird mutation path, but even though it says I have speed boosts, my speed still says 110. Is there a maximum amount where buffs stop? Right now I have light bones, road runner, and quick. When I mutated to hollow bones from light bones, it said 20% boost to attack speed and movement, but I can’t tell if it actually changed.

I know this is probably an obvious question, but if I have a broken window in my house will the wind and cold from outside effect the inside of my home in the game or only when I step outside of the house?

Catfoodbob · 2014-12-06T04:48:02.000Z

I think the wind may be based on if there is a roof ogre your head

Catfoodbob · 2014-12-06T04:56:59.000Z

The Bionic athlete is absolotly op and i love it… just make him start infected any you can easly deal with most zombies if you toggle your bionic on and off, and food is not a problem, managed to take a hulk down first day withought a single scratch… commercial bionic user is terrible though

Alright thank you.

Is there a limit to the bionics you can have?

Can certain bionics prevent the installation of others?

Any reason not to install every bionic you find?

I think someone here said he had so many bionics he ran out of hotkeys for them, but other than the Fusion Blaster Arm, I don’t know any CBMS that have any real consequences. I remember them saying certain mutations and bionics wouldn’t be compatible but I don’t think thats been coded yet.
