Tips, Tricks, and Newb Questions!

Thanks for the tip! I had completely forgotten about curtains. I had to scavenge around to cut up enough rags to make the sheets, but my entire vehicle is blacked out now. And, thanks to a 360-degree security camera system, I can drive with the curtains closed :slight_smile:

Sadly it seem monster can still see your ‘reflection’ in the camera lenses / wind mirror in the latest experimental if your not in a shaded square…

shaded square?

On the topic of cars, I’m starting to make a mobile base (or at least try to). I got some gasoline , and brought it to the Luxury RV, only to find out I can’t fill it. The diesel tank it has is fine, so I’m kinda confused. The fuel is really low, at 3% I think. Help?

You’re trying to fill a diesel tank with gasoline?

Be lucky that Cataclysm doesn’t allow you to fill tanks with the wrong fuel. o3o

I assume you need to search for where the gasoline tank is, THEN fill it.

YES
I FOUND A JACK

What should I do now? I can begin construction on my deathmobile, or maybe try to add more amenities to my LMOE shelter. I have tons of guns and ammo, and enough nonperishable food to last me for a while.

The better to have radioactive exhaust? >.>

Nothing like getting to the bottom of a lab and finding out all the loot in the middle has been destroyed by explosions, because of the stupid security bots shooting at god knows what and how stupidly huge explosions are now.

Even if the loot is still there, the bots will shoot at you, hit each other, and blow it all up.

It’s a random artifact. Test it out, it will tell you if it does something to you.[/quote]

Any tips on working out exactly what it’s doing to me?

Also, that feel when you have about 6 guns but only have ammo for the flintlock carbine.

WHY!? Meanwhile my crossbow does bugger all damage.

And there’s an arsehole with an assault rifle nearby who kills me if I go anywhere near that area.

I save scummed to see if I could take him out and nope. It’s ridiculous how much damage that guy takes to kill when he can kill me in almost a single assault rifle burst.

Also I found a SWAT van essentially in working order… except it lacks wheels and I don’t know of any other vehicles to get them from.

Try luring zombies to his position.

or hide behind a vehicle until he runs out of ammo

Make sure it isn´t fueled beforehand… just for safetys sake. Or don´t funny stuff might happen. Then take a screenshot.

Or if you find a working vehicle, run him over.

I feel retarded. But thank you.

Hooded hard hat is probably one of the best Early game helmets considering the abundance of hard hats and rags

Doh. Let me guess, the coverage boost? ;A;

also the fact that you can repair it with cloth

You do at least lose a point of protection. ;A;
