Rhodri:

How is it determined if zombie technicians successfully pull away your weapon?

A number from 1-100 is rolled. If it is less than or equal to 100 - (6 * (your str - 6)) - (6 * weapon skill) or your strength < 5 then it pulls the weapon out of your hands.

However at the moment it’s bugged and only respects 3 skills: marksmanship, bashing and cutting. Weapons with cutting/bashing damage lower than 8 get no skill bonus and spears can only get the bashing bonus (because they are never cutting weapons). Also, first bonus is used rather than the best one, meaning that a weapon with 8 bashing and 20 cutting damage will use bashing skill.

Eric:

Is it possible to craft modern guns (not flintlocks or improvised guns, stuff like M4A1’s or M9’s) from scratch?

Nope. In the experimental releases you have ‘survivor’s carbine’ and ‘survivor’s revolver’ which represent something a highly skilled person could fabricate outside of a factory.

That’s kinda intentional, modern weapons are made in billion-dollar factories. While you could probably learn how to make an improvised shotgun from youtube in 10 minutes, you can’t exactly replicate a Mossberg 500 with pipes and two-by-fours and an arc welder.

Whhhyyyyy are bows only repairable with gunsmithing tools? I mean really…

Litppunk · 2015-02-17T18:09:51.000Z

if its some sort of compound bow or something that kinda makes sense…even if not…Bows tend to need maintenance similar to that of guns…

Dinosaurs - Why?How?When?(According to lore, that is.)

The dinosaurs are a mod, not part of the main game. See here.

Nope, only complete remaking (possibly in stages) and paying attention to the vehicle menu next time. In it, up is where the result will go, always.

Hello again,

How do you close the curtains on a window? I tried examining the window, as well as looking through the construction menu. No luck. Does this mean that the window doesn’t already have a curtain? I’m in a house, and I thought I read that domestic windows come with curtains.

Valpo · 2015-02-17T22:01:58.000Z

You can close curtains like you close a door. by pressing c then in theire direction. Only from withing the house ofc.

JonathanH · 2015-02-17T22:03:16.000Z

Omg… Who feels stupid? I feel stupid. Thanks for the help.

Valpo · 2015-02-17T22:04:57.000Z

Don t. I stood before some curtains i opened by running into them for a few minutes before my amazing mind came up with the solution.
Sometimes the easiest solution just doesn t occur to us.

Is it considered cheap to just bring a jaques hammer into a military base and just raid it using that and one id so the turrets dont murder you

Nothing is cheap, it’s just using your resources.

Even debugging out a wall has a price… though i wonder if you can get in them without dying if you hammer in the back way
