IIRC No, hence these god damn things are more or less the most valuable and hard to come across item in Cataclysm right now.

Nope, that title is still held by the jackhammer.[/quote]

What, not the jacqueshammer?!

Censorship is suboptimal.

The jacqueshammer is a one-off reference to a Family Guy episode. I don’t watch Family Guy so I can’t tell you which one. It’s functionally equivalent to the jackhammer, and can generally be found anywhere you’d find a jackhammer.

well, I kinda meant that the welder was the most valuable in the sense that it’s more needed than the jackhammer. no welders, no vehicle modifying. I think that’s a little more vital than knocking down walls, or whatever else the jackhammer does.

J-Hammers knock down walls anywhere. As such, a J-Hammer and sufficient gas can make certain endgame areas much quicker and safer.

Vehicles are better long-term, though.

How do you use the water tank and rv cooking unit? I have them both installed but I can’t seem to get them to do anything.

I’d imagine you refill the water tank in similar fashion to the gas tank: have a container of Clean Water, examine the vehicle, select the tile with the water tank, and hit Refill. I’m not sure whether it lets you fill containers from the tank though.

The RV unit is basically a self-contained pot, pan, and heat source–but the vehicle needs battery power in order to power the plate, IIRC.

I know I don’t have a battery in the vehicle so that’s probably why it’s not working. Thanks for the info.

So I’m working on a vehicle, and its rather long. when I started working on the front the view of the vehicle in the modifying window went up, and now I can’t see the end with the back wheels.
Is there any way to bring the window view down, so I can work on the back end again?

example:

I recall seeing this problem on the GitHub issue tracker. No action on it yet though. Consider posting your screencap there:

Issue: More vehicle construction space

opened by temp1221 on 2013-07-23

closed by kevingranade on 2013-10-25

May be we can increase vehicle construction space, but it's break normal terminals with 80x25 windows
F.E.
output.h
define FULL_SCREEN_HEIGHT 42
veh_interact.cpp
// x1 x2
// y1...

Ah, thats a shame. The parts are still selectable, I just can’t see exactly what im selecting, so I guess not all is lost.
thanks, and will do!

How do I put out massive fires quickly?

My base caught fire and lots of drugs and mutagen are burning.

timtek · 2013-07-29T07:40:53.000Z

(a)ctivate your cell phone and call 911. Or maybe try a fire extinguisher.

Yes, I think it’s the “” key about “Enter”.

It’s the | key, which is the \ key with SHIFT held down (at least on UK keyboards).

In v0.7 I’ve picked up some USB drives with programs on them - one with Medisoft, and one with misc software.

Is there a way to use this software? So far all I could think of was to attempt to (a)pply them to a working computer terminal, but I just get told there’s nothing I can do with them.

Anyway to stop coughing from smoke?

I inhaled some smoke and coughed from 75 torso HP to death.

It be nice if drinking something like water would help.

MarkB · 2013-07-29T23:32:23.000Z

I don’t know of a cure, but equipping a filter mask or better will protect you against smoke inhalation. Don’t worry about the mouth encumbrance - it doesn’t actually hinder you, so you can keep the filter mask equipped full time.
