Long ago, I sacrificed my soul to have that cavity to hold more mana for my psychic abillities. It has been full since 36583 B.C.E

Does a coal pallet just give 10 charcoal like a normal stack? Or is it worth saving this one from a hardware store?

pisskop · 2015-11-29T17:10:41.000Z

When in doubt, save it anyway.

I’ve wondered. I’ve made a survivor solely for testing what happens if I do a certain thing, and I tried seeing what the after effects of using an RDX charge. It can blow a hole a couple of z-levels down… so now I’m wondering… what would happen if I tried that 10 levels down at the very bottom of the map? Do I dig too deep? Will I hear horrifying screams come from below? Or do I just break the game or nothing happens?

Any tips on getting electronics and marksmanship up high? Electronics is at 2, marksman is at 5.

How should one approach military bunkers? I managed to loot one, but in the process I had to wear very heavy armor and still took lots of bullets.

Also, how to do remove the rubble in the way of the stairs at the refugee center? I tried the construction menu but it didn’t work.

You need a shovel in your inventory and then you can 'e’xamine the rubble and it’ll clear it out.

For electronics, it’s one skill that’s most easily learned from books, as few low-level crafting options exist right off the bat. Unlike mechanics and even computers (if literate), which can be easily bootstrapped if you know how.

Installing bionics will work (and help with first aid, maybe mechanics/computers too), but that’s the riskiest method.

As for marksmanship, sheer practice, and lower-dispersion weapons as your skill gets high enough.

As for the bunkers? Getting an ID card from miltary-themed map specials (like crash sites) or from the toxic waste dump is your best bet. All you need is one for the front door and that disables the turrets. The storage can be safely cut through, blasted open, or bashed down without re-alerting the turrets up top.

Failing that? Blow the bunker door open with something big, follow up with EMP grenades or more mundane explosives. Or just wait until nightfall, set a charge for the door, back the fuck off, then lob bombs in there from a safe distance in the darkness. Less risk than trying to use the doorway of the bunker as cover.

If your armor is damn good, you might risk charging in. I’ve yet to test whether anything less than power armor is enough against mil-spec turrets, whereas 9mm turrets (police checkpoints, labs) can be no-sell’d reliably with plate armor and up.

You need a shovel in your inventory. Or anything with a digging quality of 2 and up. Just "e"xamine the rubble.

Hmmmm has any one ever tunneled underground to get into a bunker or pab etc sounds like it could be pretty cool to do.

[quote=“deknegt, post:11929, topic:42”][quote=“Thwap, post:11928, topic:42”]Regular bone broth has the “will eventually rot” text.

On a related note, I’ve finally figured out how to transfer fluid between two containers without having to pick either one up. Now I truly am a god.[/quote]

How, I need to know :D[/quote]

Okay, let’s say you have a 55 gallon drum completely full of water, and you want to fill a canteen with that water without having to pick up the incredibly large and heavy drum.

Go to the advanced inventory, highlight the canteen, and press the C key. You should now be looking at the inside of that container. If there is already any water in the canteen, you’ll see it listed here.
Go to the other panel of the advanced inventory, highlight your 55 gallon drum of water, and press the M key. Normally this would move the entire drum, but since the destination panel is the inside of your canteen, instead it will just move enough water over to fill it.
The reverse also works. You can use the C key to view the inside of a drum, and then hold down the M key to quickly empty dozens of bottles into it without having to individually unload each one.

Yeaaah no nothing short of power armor will make this work. Seriously. Very much so. Do not try at home. Def not speaking from experience, why do you ask?
