Enjoy the alternating heat waves and drunken weather. ;A;

Noctifer · 2015-09-25T21:05:28.000Z

Alternating? Its pretty much either always hot or cool, the weather is the only thing that is very unstable…

Random_dragon · 2015-09-25T21:12:38.000Z

True. Though usually if it isn’t hot and sunny, it’s raining to an insane extent. Which is nice sometimes, until afterward it gets all hot and humid.

And now to get back on topic, does humidity in this game affect temperature?

Xfin · 2015-09-25T21:13:14.000Z

I guess ya get used to it

Noctifer · 2015-09-25T21:16:48.000Z

Is humidity a thing on the game?

Random_dragon · 2015-09-25T21:17:54.000Z

One of the weather tools reads it, yeah. Along with temp and air pressure. I assume these all affect precipitation, but other affects I’m unsure of.

Noctifer · 2015-09-25T21:23:24.000Z

Hypothesis 1: They only determine how likely it is for a specific weather event to occur.
Hypothesis 2: Humidity might work like being underwater to a very small extent.
Hypothesis 3: They are currently just decorations.
Hypothesis 4: Combination of the three.
Hypothesis 5: None of the above.

i believe one of the bionics. the one that spawns water ‘out of the air’ uses humidity…

I would assume it affects how much water you get from the Aero-evaporator CBM (or whatever it’s called - the one that makes water from the air for 200 power). Once in a while, you get none, sometimes you get one, often you get 2, occasionally you get more.

Also, in the latest experimental, has someone tweaked the bloody huge boomers? I’m in full survivor gear, and they’re glowing me about half the time (or more), and it’s lasting MUCH MUCH MUCH longer than before.

Oh, and explosions are still crazy big, but they seem to be less “nuke every single item out of existence the moment you touch it” than they were, so that loot isn’t just auto-destroyed all the bloody time, and/but corpses aren’t, either (which is nice… and harder, of course).

So it seems to have a use then.

Are cargo carriers the items that make more room in cars? I tried removing cargo containers from vehicles, and got nothing but a frame.

Boomers no, but survival gear yes.

Texas isn’t THAT bad…It only has very hot and dry climate,tons of mosquitoes,hurricanes (by the coast), and large patches of wilderness where once entered no one will find you…help me…

Coming from someone who lives there, I would agree with this.
But the traffic. Oh, god, the traffic.

Anyhow, does anyone have an ETA on the next stable release?

Sir1Kernicus · 2015-09-26T00:22:13.000Z

So i haven’t ever seen acidic rain is it a rarity or a surviving for so long or is it the stable

Random_dragon · 2015-09-26T00:22:27.000Z

And when you have rain PLUS traffic…for a good idea of what NPCs in this game might be like if they could operate vehicles, well…

And last I recall, they’ve said they want to at least make z-levels fully functional first.

So… then what are you supposed to do to avoid glowing? Glowing at the wrong time is essentially a death sentence.

Random_dragon · 2015-09-26T02:48:31.000Z

If I recall, you can use a towel to unblind yourself if boomered. It might work on glowing bile, unsure.

Hmm. What effect does smoke have on monsters that need to breathe?

Think it just delays there next movement somewhat

(Wonders why the trapdoor spiders is dummyed out)
