[quote=“FrankyPlaysGames, post:13296, topic:42”]Has anyone found a shield yet in the new build? Where do you find one? I’ve scoured like three pawn shops and two antique shops and found none.

You can also check museums too, or mansions. Should be somewhat rare. Regular wooden shields (and larger variants) are also readily craftable with only a decent bit of fabrication skill and no books needed, but they’re the highest-encumbering for the levels of block they give, and have the lowest protection for the arm they cover (though this might be of reduced importance as I don’t think protection values actually affect blocking). The other styles of shield can all be learned from Studies in Historic Armorsmithing.

However, this is all assuming your save as the Medieval and Historic Content mod on. X3[/quote]
Thanks man, looking for a top-notch shield, for now I’m rocking it freehand.

If I’d kept the idea of them covering the torso and/or legs it might be worth trying to get a scutum over a kite shield, but since the armor value is no longer of as much importance… -w-

[quote=“Litppunk, post:13294, topic:42”]to the best of my knowledge… no. There have been suggestions for hydroponics systems, but I don’t think any of them or something similar has been implemented yet.

But, you can still grow pot, or other more useful crops down there. Its one of the safest places to farm, if the surface around it isnt swamped by zombies.[/quote]

Thanks for your replies. So even though there is no light(basement is dark as hell) and no water and being a basement(different z level), the crops will still grow even if i go elsewhere?

[Random_dragon]

Ooh. Now if only I could grow plump helmets in the basement. o3o

XD Should be an artifact that makes dwarves enter the world near you and start building crazy fortresses.

[pisskop]

You mean a mod that adds a ‘player fort’?

I have a few forts I could nominate for depiction. I nominate Woodwitches. Would be a decent mod choice once NPCs stop being quite so awful at life.

[Litppunk]

Someone add this to the list of things to don’t once NPC don’t fail at life. I don’t have access anymore due to “Making it too depressingly long”

Just noticed you can put forklift arms on your vehicle, but what can you actually do with them? It’d be really nice to lift up a motorcycle and carry it around on a larger mobile-base type vehicle, but I don’t have any motorbikes handy and I have strong suspicion that won’t work anyways…

I kinda wish they were good for anything like that, but they’re just high damage plus storage. ;w;

Where is the file data for Medium Boulders? Dont tell me I need to decomile the darn game for it . . .

I want to make 3 tiers of Grave Stones:

• Head Stone - Ankle high or so
• Grave Stone - The 3’ or so high marker
• Monument - More opulent markers.

But I can find boulder data to compare it to.

[Random_dragon]

It should be in furniture.json.

so can i clarify, if i grow my plants in the basement, the plants will still grow even if its on a different z level/outside of reality bubble?

also, how do i make more dirt in the basement?

thank you

Can players build garage doors, or are those pre-spawned only?

You can’t really make dirt tiles on basement levels… but there’s an exploit.

Build a road barricade on the rock floor and then set it on fire. The fire has to destroy the barricade, and when it does, the rock floor will become a dirt tile.

You can also drive through sewage. Every once in a while the sewer tile will become dirt tiles.

Now there are also places that have dirt tiles underground. The triffid grove, for example. Kill the heart, bash down the root walls, and you’ve got a rather spacious area for planting.

Slime pits also have dirt tiles. Burn the slime floor, destroy the blobs, and you’ll have a massive farmland.

And now I’m pondering it to…will it grow? o3o

Found a potato, wiki says that its possible to get seeds from said potato through crafting, but i cant find the recipe. How do i extract seeds from potato/cabbage/strawberry?

[karlnp]

i’m generally in favour of encumbrance being tweaked, but i’m suddenly unable to hit anything even while practically naked with 1-3 melee skill. does anyone have a link to what changed?

You can get seeds via crafting for some plants, like wild herbs, buckwheat, dandelions… but you can’t craft potato seeds from a potato. To get more potato seeds, you need to plant it and when its time to harvest it should gives you more seeds depending on your survival skill.

So…how do caterpillar tracks work? Do they just work like wheels with insane durability or else? And how much do they affect the speeds of cars?
And how is the power of large electric motor compared to power of a V8 engine?

[Arek_PL]

they are just durable wheels what slighty slow down your vehicle but if you are not going to break speed of light they will be enought for you
