Tips, Tricks, and Newb Questions!

I don’t know if this happened to anyone else, but my armor is WAY weaker than what is said on the wiki. For example, my SWAT armor is only 14 bash and 23 cut (normally 30 and 54) and my scavenger gear (which I had once thought was good) only protects 11 bash and 19 cut (25 and 45 on item browser). Is this supposed to happen? If it is, are there any low encumbering but high protection armors?

The wiki is so out of date it isn’t even funny. I’ve made a few sporadic updates to it, but I’ve been swamped by other things since then.

I think whole wiki should be purged and we should start a new one. It only misleads the newbies.

Though even some of the Github documentation is in dire need of the same purging. As I’m finding at the moment. >.<

I’ve done a LOT of lab starts, and I’ve never had that happen… how long ago was that?

The only obviously impossible starts in quite a while were in the barracks armory, but even that hasn’t happened in a while now.

My favorite lab-related change recently was despawning the turret if you spawned in a room with a turret. I had a good many insta-dead starts from that…

Is it in full condition or does it need repair?

Armour drops armour value when damaged. Drastically.

Which is why the dragon-skin vest was so amazingly useless back when it couldn’t be repaired.

No, when I was looking on item browser (which I assume is outdated) it said that scavenger gear had 25 and 45 protection, but in the debug menu for items, it is 11 and 19.

Did you check the experimental option in item browser? You may have looked for stable stats, and i think the scav gear was nerfed in experimentals.

They both say the same thing. And I think the thing is that I am not playing the in most recent version. What does your armor register as (the scavenger gear)?

Guess who just spawned in a new character with the lab scenario, and ate every misshapen fetus and mutated limb in sight?
This guy.

I’m totally not going to regret this later, right?

Of course you won’t. If you live, that is.

Why on earth is the hatchet a bashing weapon?

Since its main gimmick is making a half-decent hammer alongside knife functions, I would assume its recipe was derived from the hammer. At least, that’s the lazy mistake I’d be liable to make if I was the one that added it.

Hatchets make a decent hammer because the back side of the head basically IS a hammer.

I would think it should be about half-and-half, though.

Seems like is should be about the same bashing-cutting but only one at a time not both at same time… though Im not sure how the damage system is about that, they stack don’t they? Rather backwards for a lot of weapons, though come to think of it, with the weight distribution on a hatchet it really is basically a sharp hammer XD so you have weight of bashing weapon behind the blade of a cutting weapon (though with a wider angle)

It’d be cool to be able to change the type of attack you want to use with a weapon, so choosing to use the bladed end or blunt end of hatchet. Could even work like how unarmed styles work, choosing which attack style with the currently equipped weapon.

Is there a way to mod my raw strength high enough to explode most things when I punch them? I’m trying to play as Saitama from One Punch Man


That’s what I’m aiming for.

I remember I got my melee and cutting to 10+, I also had pretty high strength too.
I splattered hulks with my katana. I was able to walk into a horde of zeds and one-hit-kill them all. Raiding cities became too easy.

Yeah I’ve got my unarmed combat at 10 but melee is at 4. I’ll try levelling melee and see what happens. My strength is at 20 and I couldn’t increase it any more.
