That was a terrible joke :(…Did not mean to piss on your fire…Oh wait

He didn’t seem very steamed.

Meanwhile things are heating up in my own game. o3o

How do I go about extracting all that delicious plutonium from an ICBM? I can’t get close enough to dismantle it, and the quarters are pretty close so I’m worried about the sympathetic explosions if I huck some C4.

[Random_dragon]

Not sure if you can actually take it apart, but it should be possible to build some form of terrain to get close enough. Maybe. Depends on if ledge tiles count as being valid for placing constructions.

Even then, why not just nuke something? o3o

Is there any terrain that can only be crossed by flyers? That is, walking creatures can’t (or won’t) cross it?

Water is crossable (they fall in and get out the other side), lava is crossable (even if usually fatal), empty space is attempted (with fatal results).

I’m thinking of scientist zombies and the manhacks the spawn… some what to let the manhacks out without the scientist eventually killing itself with acid.

Pretty sure that the AI doesn’t understand what it shouldn’t walk over. If it can, it will try, often with predictable results. If it can’t it’ll either try to beat its way through or try to work past in a limited manner; I find it typically falls back on trying to beat its way through. They’re not very smart.

In the latest build, I notice that there is a new feature of “walk” at the bottom right corner and the new stamina bar. Can anyone explain the new feature?

[John_Candlebury]

You toggle between running and walking modes with ". Running is useful for escaping ugly stuff, but will rapidly use stamina (also new), some other actions require stamina as well, like melee combat and archery.

Stamina regeneration is dependent on mouth enumberance.

[Wally-kun]

As far as I can tell, stamina determines the speed that things happen rather than their effectiveness. At minimum stamina you’re really sluggish while at max you’re at 100% efficiency. I don’t know if you hit for less damage while exhausted but using up all your stamina down to 0 does a tiny bit of torso damage. Or at least it generates pain.

[Random_dragon]

Definitely makes it harder to be a one-man Krav Maga blender, but still doable.

[Pthalocy]

Yeah I only just noticed another |||| bar under my bodypart health that indicates my stamina. LOL. Hooray for that stamina!

How good is Poppy Painkiller in comparison to codeine, oxy etc?

[John_Candlebury]

Bad, slightly better than aspirin but still inferior to tramadol. Afaik.

[Random_dragon]

It IS certified organic though. o3o

Is there any way my character can craft his own atomic lamp? Is it found by some book I haven’t discovered yet, or can the recipe only be learned by disassembling the lamps?

You’ll need Rivtech company secrets, currently conveniently located in your nearest secret underground laboratory. Maybe.

Does roof in a car or a house impact solar panels?

Does roof in a car or a house impact solar panels?

If you mean installing solar panels on the roof of a car, they work just fine as they’re on top of the top. As for whether they work when you’re driving through a building…dunno. :V

[Valpo]

I think that solar cells work with the current lighting lvl.
So beeing inside a house should reduce theire effectivness somewhat.

I wonder whether they work by pointing a flashlight at them …

Nope, has to be ambient light.

Just like starting a fire won’t let you plant seeds.
