also find a jack hammer or a jauqueshammer why do you need to destroy walls anyways?

I recently crafted an electric jack hammer… its amazing. love it.

@Coolthulhu
Thanks for helpful reply! However, I’m pretty sure you can move battery power from one vehicle to another using some item(s). I’ve read about it, but I couldn’t get it to work, now I don’t even remember what were the items needed for this.

@Litppunk
Well…I want to destroy a wall in my base to put “fake” car and solar panels outside to have working refrigerator and lights at night

That was probably about jumper cables, but jumper cables can’t move power from battery to battery, only from alternator/solar panel/reactor to battery or from battery to part that consumes energy.

You can also charge car batteries using the “battery” item, but that’s very inefficient because car battery energy is much “cheaper” than item batteries.

…why were jumper cables changed to such a thing instead of acting like their real world counterparts?

They were never changed, they worked like that since they were first implemented.
Probably because it was easier to write them to do that than to make them always transfer in one direction.

Last I knew they equalized power levels between the two vehicles.

Now I’m going to have to re-update and figure out a way to test this, ugh.

Pretty sure they never did.

It wouldn’t be very hard to code, but not trivial either.

can someone tell me if blob gobs are safe to eat? i seem to remember that eating them can give you parasites?

They also make you vomit like crazy. I don’t know why you would want to eat them, unless you ar rping a bulimic character or something.

had no other food at the time and i saw that the gobs had 20 nutrition. thankfully, I found other food stuffs, but it was close

With a strong, healthy character you can subsist on tainted meat/blob globs, especially if you have vomit type mutation, some weed and a supply of bandages.

Has there been any plans about adding a Sanity-system?
Mainly due to a fact, that imo the monsters from Cthulhu aren’t really that bad when there isn’t a chance of them turning the player into a drooling maniac happily blowing his/her brains out.

im stuck in a bank vault with three npcs blocking my way out …

Litppunk · 2015-03-05T12:28:07.000Z

seach for dynamite or other explosive and blow the wall. If none then gather ALL the EVERYTHING in the bank worth anything and put it all in a spot you will be able to easily reach it when another character blows the wall. Then suicide out, or just make another character and rescue yourself.

Valpo · 2015-03-05T12:29:58.000Z

Making another char to rescue an earlier one… this is a genious idea.

I also use splintered wood to mark dead ends and rooms that only lead to dead ends in labs and nails to label areas I need to come back too once character is better, such as rooms with hackable computers and the mutated anatomy rooms.

I personally use aspirin and vitamins since they take no volume and weight next to nothing.

Uhm i make notes on the map and mark tiles as explored >.>

Its easier and faster to see which doors should not be touched unless in dire need of lead poisoning with item on front of it compared to checking map, for me.
