Y’know, never seen a swat van until the latest experimental. Seen pretty much everything else though. We might need to tweak the spawn settings for SWAT and armoured cars up a notch.

Also has anyone found SWAT armour in the police armory yet?

[quote=“Laughing Fool, post:10915, topic:42”]Everywhere I go there are swat, security, humvees and armored cars.

Wah wah waaaah. You just listed nothing but vanilla vehicles. ;w;[/quote]

I’ve found multiple APCs, a main battle tank and an atomic mini-tank though.

I have (Finally!). Two sets of them, with one fitting.

I mean there are tanks and whatnot but they are quite rare compared to the abundance of swat and security cars, they are almost on every street, I could field a small army with all the riot gear, hk ump’s 45 and tear gas cannisters.

Are Wraiths friendly? It kept saying it’s friendly and wishes me no harm.

Kevlar Dog Harness + Dog. Why not work?

Hopefully been toned down a bit since my last PR for tankmod though, which nerfed spawn rates a bit. ^^"

It liiiiees. Kill it with fire. Technically if I recall, I don’t think IT attacks you, but the shadows it keeps spawning will.

Wraiths? Is this in vanilla or a mod?

Vanilla. It’s a monster that had been added ages ago but never implemented initially.

When searching for things to craft, I found 'Special Prefixes for results: ’ .
And I’m wonder how to use it, and if I could use it to search for other types of XL clothing to craft.

Do contacts not correct effectively if you’re nearsighted and farsighted? I tried putting them in but without my bifocals it gives me a “you can’t hit well b/c no glasses” message in combat.

Looks like a bug in melee code. It checks for glasses but not for contacts, unlike most of the farsight-related code.
Unfortunately old code is full of repeated code not wrapped in functions (as it should be), which results in missed cases like this.

Welp, I guess I can live in a world where every prescription doesn’t match my survivor’s, then. Thanks

Does the albino trait still damage a PC if I’m wearing 100% coverage items on all body parts?

does a quick test with an albino character and a debugged-in hazmat suit

Seems like it doesn’t, but I’d want to test further to see if it’s coverage or EP doing that. o3o

EDIT: Yeah, environmental protection is also important. Swapped the hazmat suit for an ensemble of full-coverage stuff (beekeeping outfit and boots) and the sun is back with a vengeance.

I don’t exactly understand how do the hordes work. In many occasions they just invade the town I’m scavenging and stay there forever, even when I don’t make any noises. Will they eventually move away if I stay quiet for some time or should I just run away?

1-800-Contacts? They don’t have my brand!

[Random_dragon]

Because glasses are too mainstream? o3o
