Thanks for the info.

Not sure if the unique property and the unique flag have any different effects, but setting minimum occurrences to 1 should ensure it’ll spawn. Far as I can tell, occurrences determines numbers per chunk of overmap rather than per worldgen.

radiation make me glow or something? turrets in lab see me from pretty far distance

Unless you got hit by a huge boomer’s glowy puke, it’s likely just turrets having a decent vision range. At night it’s about 20-21 tiles, depending on the light they give off.

so thier light have longer reach now? good that he is close to wall so i can use probality travel and use directional emp

Random_dragon · 2015-09-30T19:39:38.000Z

Basically, yeah. Need to check their daytime vision while I’m at it…

Where can you find granades?

[quote=“COS_Cecillian, post:10467, topic:42”]Where can you find granades?[/quote] granades are rare grenades what spawn in places where grenades spawn try looking for crates in wild or raid military bunkers

I have found a security van that doesn’t look too beat up, and I have spare parts in case of a breakdown. My biggest problem is that I don’t want to move all of my stuff from my van, which is in quite good condition and has been modified to an extent. Should I make the switch? Both of them work fine.

Random_dragon · 2015-09-30T20:24:15.000Z

Well, the security van would be pre-armored, but it might be worth it to wait and hunt down something even tougher. X3

_Rogue · 2015-09-30T20:31:33.000Z

Ok, I think I’ll just armor up my van with the stuff. What do you suggest as a long term vehicle, or as you say, “tougher”?

Noctifer · 2015-09-30T20:35:41.000Z

If you use the tank mod, one of those are a a good candidate, otherwise, a personal carrier is good since its big, armored and has lots of storage built in already.

_Rogue · 2015-09-30T20:46:06.000Z

I think I’ll try to find one and fix it up. I suppose moving all my stuff (depending on how much is left when I find one) would be worth it. BTW, where do you find these military vehicles? Any words of caution?

Random_dragon · 2015-09-30T20:56:15.000Z

Somewhat random, but also possible spawn at military checkpoints.

Speaking of the tank mod, can you install mods on a already made world? I want to add some of the experimental mods (i.e. tank) to my cooper save that I transfered.

Random_dragon · 2015-09-30T23:18:30.000Z

The save folder has a file that lists the mods the world uses. Adding mods to that list SHOULD work, but might have some issues. For one, I’m assuming you won’t start encountering tanks until you venture beyond what’s already been generated.

Assuming nothing breaks from doing so, but it’s usually removing mods from the list that breaks the most stuff, for obvious reasons.

COS_Cecillian · 2015-09-30T23:38:38.000Z

That sounds good. Meanwhile, I’ll be running my arse off trying to find riot gear. I can’t to find any cops with some sort of protection, let alone clothing. -_-

Random_dragon · 2015-09-30T23:41:39.000Z

I’ve seen SWAT armor in the SWAT trucks at least.

Random_dragon:

In experimental, turrets will fire at you at range 18, day or night, military or civilian. 19 and farther is safe.

…unless it’s been changed in the last two or three weeks (since I checked), of course. Welcome to experimental, heh.

Where’s the best place to get CBMs?
