It makes sense logistics wise. You get basically freedom from the need to hoard lighters.

Directional EMP though, never tried it. I would assume it can fuck up turrets like an EMP grenade would, but at short range? Can it be used from behind cover?

It’s essentially a touch attack…which doesn’t bode well when robots shut down EXPLOSIVELY.

As for the very bad day scenario? I use it when I want to make a super-intelligent slime mutant. Pump starting intelligence to 20, get a few bionics and mutations to nudge it further–then pass threshold for that sweet, sweet x2 intelligence.

It pairs very well with drunken boxing and dragon kung fu…

Is there anyway to drop/pick up a certain number of something like pick up 10 when there is 100 or drop 10?

[Taraq]

just type in the number before selecting it. It’ll show a “#” sign instead of a “+” to let you know you’re not taking/dropping all of them.

Type in the quantity desired before selecting the item.

Meaning highlight the item, press 1 0, then press the right arrow key. If you’ve done it correctly the marker to the left of the item should turn into a pound sign - # - instead of a plus sign.

… People do it this way instead of using letter keys?

[Dead_End_Road]

Ah, thank you both.

Yes, when you’re carrying more items than the game can assign hotkeys to. If I’d said ‘enter the amount and then press the assigned hotkey’ the first response would have been ‘but it doesn’t have a hotkey’.

Is ninjutsu still viable? I heard it got nerfed pretty badly.

Will I still be able to enjoy some high crits from all attacks?

What is the difference between tallow and lard?

What is the difference between tallow and lard?

Tallow is cleaned, lard isn’t.

Tallow can be used in recipes like boiled leather armor. I don’t know any uses for lard however other than lamp oil.

[Logrin]

Not really a question but the more I think about it…the sonic resonator CBM should destroy ‘stiff’ items you’re holding and wearing too, even if it doesn’t.

So last night on IRC some developers found a bug where dropping multi-stack items not singular (ex. Nails Batts) Spawning and dropping any more than 4000 of either you have magical fairies that eat all the excess so vanishing items

How do I accurize my Reflex Recurve Bow?

What does it mean when it says my npc could assist with a batch?

Exactly what it sounds like. They help you out with crafting and get it done quicker.

How do I make them help me then?

How do I accurize my Reflex Recurve Bow?

Bows, crossbows, and such have been tweaked a bit. Can’t be accurized anymore (which might be changed sometime, I’ll see), but now they can be repaired without a gunsmithing kit or firearm repair kit.

How do I make them help me then?

It seems like you have to have them recruited. Any time you batch craft (more than 1 at a time), they’ll help out. It seems this requires them to have the required skills, otherwise they merely “watch you craft” instead.

Anyone know whether NPCs gain experience from watching the player craft?

Batch craft? do you mean the craft as long as possible command?

[Random_dragon]

Er, no. In the crafting menu, hit “b” to craft more than 1 item at a time.
