meh I do apox every other or every third update seems like. Due to accidental deleting or laziness when updating.

Am I the only one that sets their preferred configs the hard way each update? o3o

Nope, I do this as well. At this point, I have each and every setting I need to change committed to memory.

Can the Clairvoyance Artifact be found legitimately, or only spawned with the debug command?

Also, what the hell is the deal with molotovs going out? The rag is supposed to be soaked in flammable liquid, it shouldn’t go out at all, let alone 10x in a row trying to use it.

What’s the deal with molotov’s needing glass bottles? Isn’t Whiskey and Vodka already in a glass bottle?

BeerBeer · 2016-02-04T09:26:57.000Z

Possibly. Likely, even. But I’ve seen plastic vodka bottles though. Not that they’re common. Never did see whiskey come in a plastic bottle… hmmm. Feel free to add the vodka/whiskey bottle options to the molotov recipes.

If you go down that path, you might want to add glass jars, 3L jars… any container or bottle you can think of that’s made of glass.

Also, let’s say you manually fill a whiskey bottle with gasoline, and you throw the bottle onto a burning tile, will it explode with the same intensity that a molotov would?

How do you get yours NPC splints off? They already healed limbs but still wear them.
Also how can I repair their gear?

I checked and the item name is “Glass bottle of ____” so it’s an error right? Someone back me up here haha.

They can be found, but they most likely have some negative side-effects.

First one I found long ago caused random teleport, while the one I found on my current run reduced three stats.

You need to give them something to wear on arms so that they will re-evaluate their encumbrance and realize they no longer need splints.
Currently you can only repair their gear by forcing them to drop their current one by giving them something else.

About gun magazines…

So I started my current game prior to the magazine update, and I’ve since transferred my save over to later versions. I had this thought in my head that each appropriate gun would come with an empty magazine that could be ejected and collected. I made the assumption that that would be the way to obtain magazines. But no gun seems to come with an empty ejectable magazine. Is this right or is my game bugging out due to the pre-magazine save file/character?

Why is my alcoholic spasming out at irregular intervals?

Its dangerous in combat, annoying on the road, and keeps him up at night.

Also, what determines the stamina use per swing per weapon?

karlnp · 2016-02-04T22:29:27.000Z

DTs?

The focus there is withdrawl. Going 1 hour without a shot of whiskey seems unfair. Especially when he got 23 shots that day

Short answer: Yes.
Slightly longer answer: Yes, for the love of his noodliness, why!? The launcher is here now, step into the future…

I think it may have been an unlucky parasite? It was pretty spaztastic, and new survivors in the same versions did not spaz.

Have you walked through any metal wreckages unprotected lately? I remember a long time ago a survivor I had was getting spasms after getting cut from walking through metal wreckages. Had to take several antibiotics for it, as there was no success message in curing what ailed my survivor.

I do it manually as well - takes less than 30 seconds, and lets me see if any new stuff has been added. Seriously, less than 30 seconds… what’s the big deal?

BeerBeer · 2016-02-05T15:41:45.000Z

Is there a difference if I press ‘a’ or ‘f’ when I fire a gun?

I mean, I can tap . (fullstop) to increase aim, but what about when I’m done aiming? ‘a’ or ‘f’?

I do the same thing, just have everything already in place and check over it every load/new game
