if he is looking to put whatever it is in mansions/museums then antique stores is probably another place it should be as well anyways.

Random_dragon · 2015-10-08T15:38:54.000Z

True, unless there’s some particular reason to have it be in mansions.

Whats the use for blood? Transfusion? Also canvas bag…WTF it good for? Says herbs but doesn’t seem like it actually holds anything.

I can’t work out what the heck those bags are for either.

Maybe you can craft something with it? But I don’t know of a “bag of herbs” item…

Blood, you can use with the arcane items mod to craft a type of magical essence. I don’t know if it does anything else.

Probably was used as a container for a item once is my guess, the ability to craft them… makes here wonder however

Also usable in one quest that requires finding a centrifuge.

Canva sacks meanwhile…one type of them, the larger one, is used in constructing sandbag barricades/walls.

So, my latest survivor, Knife Davis 2: Knife Harder, (Yes, this is actually his name) has actually been quite successful thus far. I started as a shower victim in the Really Bad Day challenge scenario, and managed to dodge a large pack of triffids and quite a few zombies after I escaped my burning house with nothing but a towel. I headed west and established a home inside a farmhouse after clearing the zombies out of the barn and the toolshed. I moved the lockers from both buildings into the main farmhouse so I had some decent space to store things in. I made an all-night raid into town the first or second night, and totally cleaned out the local gun store, even though it took four trips. I’ve made clothing for myself, and repaired and reinforced the clothes that fit me that I’ve found thus far. I’ve built up quite a stockpile of medical supplies, along with more weapons than I could ever actually need. I don’t have a vehicle beyond the bike I got in town last night.

Anyways, I’m wondering. What should I do now?

Relatively unprotected farmhouse
2.5 metric f*cktons of firearms and ammunition
Decent food supply
Plenty of meds

Put a 120mm tank cannon on that bike. Do it now.

Iosyn · 2015-10-08T20:26:13.000Z

Y’know there really should be some kind of base tonnage limit to allowing the addition of cannons that large.

[spoiler=Of course, Scooters would be exempt.]

Seriously though, I’ve seen images of that thing so many times and I never knew it was a Vespa until a few months ago-- and I love the classic Vespas-- I mean they practically scream class.
Also that’s a recoilless rifle, (think rocket launcher) not a cannon.[/spoiler]

Quick Question, how do you use the ‘Humming Bird Beak’?

It says Examine any plant FLOWER to feed but I don’t get the option ‘Feed’ (Or something similar to Feed) .

Is it a bug? If so, I’ll send it to the Garage…

The version of Cataclysm I’m currently is 0.C 3754 (Recent Experimental)

EDIT: I JUST noticed that I said plant instead of the specific ‘Flower’…

DG123 · 2015-10-08T22:46:48.000Z

How the crap do I craft a turret chassis…?

Random_dragon · 2015-10-08T22:50:06.000Z

Should be able to feed from flowers in particular.

And…turret chassis. Fabrication 3 and mechanics 3, autolearned. >.<

DG123 · 2015-10-08T22:52:14.000Z

Huh. Something is odd then. I have fabrication 10 and mechanics… 8 at least.

When I search “chassis” or “turret” in my crafting menu it’s not showing up. Is it called something weird in there?

You are using Vehicle Additions Pack, right? If you aren’t, them it wouldn’t be showing up, but you also wouldn’t NEED it. >_>

EDIT: The item should be called turret frame, so…

DG123 · 2015-10-08T22:58:35.000Z

Just found the Turret frame just this moment. That’s annoying. Yeah, it’s called frame in the crafting menu but on the part installation menu it’s a “turret chassis”.

ARGH

Random_dragon · 2015-10-08T23:01:03.000Z

Doh. ;A;

DG123 · 2015-10-08T23:12:41.000Z

Oh well, I have my turbolaser turret now. And my tank is about 66% batteries and solar panels. This should be interesting.

Noob question, but how do you implement installed mods? I got the survivor mod, and put it in my save file, but nothing happened.

Random_dragon · 2015-10-08T23:28:25.000Z

Did you edit the mod file in the save folder? Because “put it in my save file” makes me assume the worst, like dumping the mod folder into the save folder. ;w;

COS_Cecillian · 2015-10-08T23:30:29.000Z

No, I did not edit it. But I did put in the save folder. Fuck. Is that bad?
