What’s the best way to temporarily boost intelligence?
[quote=“Eric, post:6281, topic:42”]Ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap.
I saw a bed of fungal fires near the town I was looting, so I decided to try the ‘kill it with fire’ approach. A few matches later and now I’ve started a massive raging fire that has engulfed not only the fungal flowers but the three houses right next to it.
How effectively will this kill the fungus? There’s a big fungus in the center that doesn’t seem to be affected.[/quote]
Fire will destroy the fungal bed well enough, and it’ll probably destroy the smaller fungal-monster and fungal-terrain things, too, but the centre of a fungus infestation tends to be immune to it. So the fire you started will curtail the infestation back to the tower/giant flower/whatever at the centre, but in order to completely finish it off, you’ll have to find another way to kill the heart.
Stimulants, probably. Adderall is popular for boosting Intelligence, but you can also consume any source of caffeine. Coffee powder is common scav, so trying brewing two or three units next time you’re especially thirsty (maybe even in the morning when you wake up!) and drink up before you sit down to read or craft.
I’d say 3 caffeine pills are the safest way of doing things without taking dangerous/unhealthy/addictive drugs. Other sources of caffeine work too, but aren’t as effective. Also don’t do atomic coffee unless you truely believe sleep is for the weak.
Thanks Alison, Jakers. I got some sweet bionics I need to install and even with int 14, electronics 11, first aid 8 and mechanics 12 I’m getting over 25% failure chance. That just won’t do.
Another quick question: any way to recover a grappling hook after it’s been used?
Wait, you figured out how to use grappling hooks? Share with the class.
No much to tell, tried to go down bottomless stairs, was asked if I wanted to use a grappling hook to descend safely. At the bottom (it was a lab) there is now a rope leading up.

I don’t know if there’s any way to get it back, but this is awesome. (If nothing else, they’re not hard to replace.)
I don’t think you can get the grappling hook back sadly, but I’m not fully sure because I don’t use the grappling hook very often.
Hey it’s page 420! Someone ask a question about weed!
Is eating/smoking cannabis coded to suppress nausea, for those mutants with Kurt Cobain-grade GI tract problems?
In the Cataclysm, how much cannabis is ‘Too much’?
Edit: Freaking ninja’d man.

Don’t think so, but hey EAT IT ANYWAY WOOOO
Getting stoned is a high priority in my cataclysms, idk why.

Probably around 200 because you’d die of dehydration.
Take it whilst drinking water and you can never have too much!
[color=white]You four twenty blaze it. x100
So, foolish question: do marloss seeds ever produce marloss bushes, or do they only produce shitty little fungal flowers?
Is bolony unhealthy

Grapnels can save you from falling in a sinkhole or fill in for ropes; they kick in automatically (and are retained if successful) for the former, and as seen here, are optional but consumed for the latter. Nice job being prepared.
KA101 debugs dovla 100 marijuana for actually doing the smart thing when faced with a bottomless stairway
(Seriously, I’ll authorize you debugging yourself that amount. It’s extremely rare that I see posts from people who actually used the bloody ropes we provide.)
Can cannabis be used to cure diseases the same way as royal jelly? I’m pretty sure le weed cures every disease.
Afraid not.
Being able to use cannabis to suppress nausea would be cool. Schizophrenics get thorazine, hoarders get Xanax, mutants with unhappy GI tracts get weed. (Or maybe even including pink bismuth or other methods of controlling nausea. Nausea sucks.)
It already does.
[code]double player::vomit_mod()
{
double mod = 1;
if (has_effect(“weed_high”)) {
mod *= .1;
}
if (has_trait(“STRONGSTOMACH”)) {
mod *= .5;
}
if (has_trait(“WEAKSTOMACH”)) {
mod *= 2;
}
if (has_trait(“NAUSEA”)) {
mod *= 3;
}
if (has_trait(“VOMITOUS”)) {
mod *= 3;
}
return mod;
}[/code]
So it does have a use! Awesome. I’ll keep that in mind for any characters I play that end up rolling stomach problems.
