In the world I have created , ALL npcs are wielding simple flamethrowers…its getting annoying…were they made more common?

Edit: encountered some with other weapons now but the flamethrowers are still very common…

FunsizeNinja123:

Don’t tell me you guys eat lemons for snacks.

uh actually yes, I like eating lemons with salt or sugar. Also a local snacks here is called “Mango con sal” (mango with salt) because the mangos grows wild and normally people have mango trees, unmatured mangos or “green mangos”, you slice them and you add lemon, salt and pepper. And a lot of people like drinking the spicy lemon juice that are left.

And in some places they add chili.

But in all of those, people adds lemon.

But I guess the tastes comes from the coders.

yep they are turning pretty common inmy games to, a lot of npc have flamethrowers, but is a bit silly using those in the woods, so I never saw one that uses a flamethrower.

well lemon juice (juice, not drink) is even better! you do not need to add sugar and with salt you have homemade powerade

hmm. Thats not a bad idea for an in game drink. Is there a useful way to use the rinds as a by product for in game use?

Jesus christ people, can you take this to a private conversation or something? You've derailed the thread so hard there's an actual full page of useless information right before this one, with nothing related to noob-questions or beginner tips-and-tricks in it whatsoever.
This isn’t your private chatroom, it’s a forum. Stop bumping the thread with idiotic remarks.
I’m not an admin but I’d strongly suggested the staff do something about it.

Calm down dude.

AKA The DDA forum Newb’s Guide or The DDA forum Newb’s Guide

There are 2 3 4 maybe 5 a few threads that simply don’t have a derail function. As such none may complain when they are “derailed”

Now I need to attract some NPCs…

…For you to eat them?

Wyzack · 2015-12-31T23:12:21.000Z

I have had many bugs where NPCs told to defend a base would get into that state where they have the follower text but they run off as though they were still alone. It was a few experimentals ago but I have not messed with it since

Where do you actually find portal generators? I’ve got those sweet, sweet teleporters and am ready for the cargo dimension, but can’t for the life of me find where a portal generator would be.

I found the one I did randomly, just before I died a not-so-glorious Death in Fire.

[quote=“Etherdreamer, post:12694, topic:42”]Is possible to “unfold” folded items on ground without actually need to pick them?

Since folded vehicles are items, it should work via its use_action and thus let you unfold it while standing over it. o.O[/quote]

no you can´t, that why I asking.

Let´s show you a example.

I have a folded solar thing (for easy and quick install anywhere without need of soldering just in case).

As you see even in a folded pack is too heavy. (that why I asking)

You say “interact” I press interact

vR4Ur3y.png1274×653

As you see there is no option to “unfold folded items on the ground”.

The only way to unfold this heavy pack is breaking your spine and lift it to use the (a) activate option.

Pressing (a) just open your inventory to activate items inside in your inventory or picked up (thus breaking you spine and kidneys in the process).

Random_dragon · 2016-01-01T00:28:16.000Z

…derp.

Have you tried standing over it and pressing “a” instead?

Because that’s what I was telling you to do.

Spider basements maybe. Basically pray to the gods. People think they spawn occasionally in labs, but I looked at the item lists a couple months ago and they don’t. Personally I just changed the lists and gave them a small chance of appearing in a few places.

pisskop · 2016-01-01T01:09:29.000Z

I said this thing in the wiki.

: Being grabbed by a zombie restrcts your ability to aim, strike, and dodge, and *may* increase the damage taken from attacks. : Being grappled means you are pulled forward, I am unsure of this otherwise differs from a grab aside from the zombies dragging you using their subsequent ability.

is it true?

Random_dragon · 2016-01-01T01:22:09.000Z

You literally just spelled it out in your post, you need tailoring AND fabrication 7.

Obviously. In fact, you can try it yourself.

As you see, there is not folded solar rig thing. You need to pick it up and unpack it.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2016-01-01T01:37:55.000Z

Then hold it in your hands?

Etherdreamer · 2016-01-01T01:40:09.000Z

FunsizeNinja123:

… That is what we are trying t avoid… holding that thing would give you pain and make other stuff falls to the ground, also, is natural you unpack a heavy pack in the floor, no holding it in your hands. So there is no way as I was asking.
