[quote=“Etherdreamer, post:12579, topic:42”][quote=“Azrad, post:12578, topic:42”]Light frames aren’t ideal for ramming into creatures. Even with armor, the frames will still soak up some damage and when it gets destroyed every part on the tile the light frame is in will be detached from the vehicle.

I just use the light frames inside the overall chassis, only external ones are not light (steel or heavyduty (?) )

Btw how I can make a window with interna vision to outside, but people / Z´s can´t look inside?[/quote]

You can’t.[/quote]
Wouldn’t security cameras do?

[Azrad]

With security cameras, you’ll need a source of light outside otherwise the camera controls won’t show anything.

So would a window, it servers the niche but needs power.

Welp, I died and I would like to try and play with NPCs on my next game.
Should I use Statics or Random npcs? I guess that statics would help me with factions?

[Noctifer]

Static will make it so you can enjoy npcs, interact with factions and not have to worry about a random npc lit you on fire while you sleep underground.

[Etherdreamer]

Well in some point we should have night vision cameras.

About NPCs those just want to shot you for steal your crap. Is pretty realistic and give it some flavor to the game, the problem is they normally have strong guns (normall), and in weird cases, they have a worse weapon than you.

One npc tried to fight with me with a combat knife, and he see a Bow in my hands. Uh yeah, right now I have a new nice combat knife.

Now I try to kill every npc, they maybe are friendly and only wanna trade. But they have the bad behavior of stealing your shit from your base that are not inside a container. So thats why I kill them everytime.

I try to make them my allies and if they refuse then I kill them.

But they still try to steal if they are allies?

Little secret. No NPC will try to take anything in a vehicle. So simply replace all your furniture with cars and you’re good to go \o/

You can press Y to open up zone manager. You can set up a no pickup zone, but that only applies to NPC companions.

Once they are allies you can tell them to stop piking up stuff.

[G.E.C]

Talk to your follower and select the miscellaneous rules options, you can tell them to not pick up any object. While you are at it, you might aswell tell them to not bash furniture and to sleep whenever he feels tired.

Mmm nice tip. Thanks.

How are the pneumatic weapons? they are less noisy than the normal ones? or completely silence? I have a nice bow and well I am good with it, but I want a more deadly option but with the silence feature and using cheap ammunition.

As far I am seeing pneumatic weapons uses, pebbles, scraps, bolts, Nais those are easy to find / craft and cheap. Also the makeshift flamethrowers are options if I not inside a building

[Arek_PL]

pneumatic weapons are good and a must for survivors who want to be good at rifles, real rifles make noise and do not have much ammo, pneumatic assault rifle is powerfull enought to sneak in city and kill most zombies, near free ammo (pebbles) make it good practice weapon too, not too big firepower make it good hunting weapon too

pneumatic weapon is more powerfull than .22 guns and silent without supressor

[Malkeus]

UPS laaaazer rifles ftw! Silent and recoiless, but they tend to illuminate you at night.

UPS accurized laser with bionic UPS cbm and a lot of power is even better

[Etherdreamer]

My survivor is like this right now but it need to be close almost melee for making a headshot with 80+ damage. Not bad because you can retrieve the arrow. But pneumatic rifles could done that damage if I am trained enough?

Joint torsion ratchet or internal furnace?

[Arek_PL]

internal furnace if i have something to burn, joint torson ratchet allways and solar panels, interchanged metabolism too if season is good but mostly in emergency

pneumatic assault rifle do not do much damage but pneumatic bolt driver is good
