Tips, Tricks, and Newb Questions!

Could someone please tell me, is there any way to:

  1. Add a new mod to existing world?
  2. Transfer my lovely forest house to another world ?

Thanks in advance!

Did anyone else notice that the glasses are wrong? The glasses for far-sightedness should be the one that can make fire because they focus the light and not the ones for near sightedness.

Is there a way to get springs without setting up a forge?

Disassemble a car seat? owo

Manhacks drops them occasionaly. I suppose that skitterbots, eyebots and other “bots” do it as well. Maybe you should also search in hardware shops.

Car seats would still likely be the most accessible source of seats, assuming you have the mechanics skill needed to remove them.

I feel stupd now for not thinking about the car seats, thanks for the help.

Also: Do Weapons have a minimum dispersion vaue? I found that attatching a bipod to my HK416A5 did not lower it’s dispersion(that is sitting at 60).

Does that dispersion come from the weapon or the bullets loaded? You can noit reduce the added dispersion from the ammonition chosen.

For springs, I know you can sometimes also find them at Helicopter crashes and craters. Not as common as car seats but if there is one nearby it might be worth it to check.

Hello, I am now at a point where I can produce gallon jugs full of mutagen and also special serums like cattle etc. But when I tried this out I got tonns of unwanted mutations. I don’t understand how I should do mutations. Do I have to use mutagen first and then the serum? Can someone explain it to me please? Thank you

It came from the gun, but I found what caused it: having a damaged gun causes your dispersion to go up and can not be countered with mods.

The lenses used for correcting vision aren’t formed the same way used as lenses used in microscopes or telescopses, generally they all have one convex side and one concave side, as opposed to being convex or concave on both sides, so really you’d just be using the glasses in a different rotation.

Mutagen is random. Even the targeted mutagen. Taking oral mutagen makes the process more “controled” as in you get less mutations at a time.
However you should use the syrings if you want a specific path anyway because:
When The mutagen wants to give you a certain post tresh mutation and you do not have the treshold you ll get a random mutation or none at all.
As the categories have overlaping mutation you ll have a harder time breaching a treshold when you have more mutations that fall in more then the needed category (which is pretty comon) thus trying to breach the tresh with as few mutation as possible is desirable.
It still depends somewhat on luck… its what you get for drinking/injecting strange nether stuff.

I got a mission from an NPC to kill her zombie mom, which was supposedly in an area of the map I’d already cleared, in a house I’d cleaned out. When I go there, no zombie inside. I killed a few zombies wandering around in the area, but nothing changed.

So…

Anyone else having missions fail to spawn monsters? Should I keep looking? Did I already kill it? Would there be any indication that I had before talking to the NPC again?

Actually DooM is right here. The reason that lenses in glasses appear to have one concave and one convex side is because we stick just normal old glass (which doesn’t change the focal point at all) onto the sides of the actual “lens” in the glasses to make them more aesthetically pleasing and to standardize the way that the glasses hold the lens so pretty much any frame can hold any lens. This hsould be a pretty easy fix, I’ll look into getting a PR up later today.

Whats the best way to get copper wire without an electronics store handy? I tried smashing up computers but only got minor amounts, and you can’t pull it out of the walls.

On that note, then, a friend of mine mentioned the existence of little fresnel lenses camping stores and such sell that can be used for the purpose of solar firestarting, would be neat to have the assorted survival items be joined by a less jerry-rigged version of lens-firestarting that’s got the relative downside of not being useful for anything else. Not sure if he ws just full of crap, though.

The best way to get copper wire is to smash the motor of an electric car. That will yield over 1000 copper wire.

This no longer happens. RIP free wire.

To be fair it was rather realistic (there’s quite a bit of copper inside a big electric motor), but too anti-fun easy mode.
