[quote=“Malkeus, post:13478, topic:42”]Iirc, a basic mutation has a 2 in 3 chance to give a bad mutation. Robust genetics flips that to a 2 in 3 chance to give a good mutation. Generic chaos runs on a timer and randomly causes a mutation to happen.

Fixed.[/quote]

I see your fix, and I raise you actual code - mutation.cpp: line 843

    bool force_bad = one_in(3);
    bool force_good = false;
    if (has_trait("ROBUST") && force_bad) {
        // Robust Genetics gives you a 33% chance for a good mutation,
        // instead of the 33% chance of a bad one.
        force_bad = false;
        force_good = true;
    }

You have a 2/3 chance to get a random mutation which can be good or bad with a 1/3 chance to have it forced to be a bad one. Robust genetics alters the force bad to force good.

How do I actually navigate the main menu? I’m stuck on “Mods to use” and pressing TAB doesn’t make it advance to “World Generation”. Pressing ? for help doesn’t work either, as they don’t advance to the world generation tab and only to Mod Load Order.

The > key gets you to the next place.

Use the < and > keys.

Is there any way to remove clothing from an NPC? Because I put an arm splint on one to heal their arm, but now I can’t get it off.

[Tawarochir]

Manage Armor, maybe? I haven’t managed to find an NPC to try it out on yet.

I tried managing their armor but it just shows a message saying you can’t take NPC’s clothes off. I was wondering if there was any other way of doing it

[pisskop]

Theyll take it off if they like something else better. Ive heard people have issues getting them to take off splints. Try offering up arm guards or vambraces or something.

Okay. I’ll try that.

Can I get gunpowder from ammo? Gunpowder is so hard to find…(for me)

[Tawarochir]

Yes. You need a kinetic bullet puller to do it, though.

Once you get your hands on that, you’re home free. Make all the bombs or whatever you want.

[BeerBeer]

Just to clarify, kinetic bullet puller is a small tool. I think it can be crafted these days? You will then simply disassemble the ammo like any other item while having the tool nearby. Shotgun shells contain a ton of gunpowder, and they’re common, too. Also 50 cals, huge round, common turret ammo. But do collect all ammo if you can, just for the gunpowder.

[Random_dragon]

Though it’s also good to hold onto the ammo until you’ve decided on a specific ammo you want to rely on. If you do dedicate your ammo stocks to feeding a particular gun, you’ll want to save the casings, and make sure you get all the primers you can (which also means that dismantling ammo that uses the same type of primer is a good idea).

[Tawarochir]

I personally recommend disassembling birdshot, rat-shot, and possibly shotgun beanbags; they’re weaker than the GOOD shotgun ammo and are reasonably common.

[pisskop]

Theyre also useful for weak critter shooting. So if youre actually using a shotgun, you should keep some around.

Ive been wanting to try a 12gauge pistol build, running around like some glorious modern day pirate.

TIL that a bayonet can do reach attacks

Or it least this crossbow with a bayonet can if you toggle the firing mechanism [F]

Some questions related to the IOS version, but could apply to the PC version too

1. Why does my car engine keep dying after I turn it off? I take a car I find in the city out for a joyride, spend a few minutes running over zombie hordes, turn off the engine and loot everything, and come back to see that the engine is suddenly gone.

2. Are NPCs supposed to be overpowered? They seem to be able to take more actions than the player can. They can suddenly go Fist of the North Star on you, beating you to death in a flurry of rapid-fire punches or melee strikes(before you can react), or they can shoot you to death with insane speed (Seems that they can empty the entire magazine in your face, reload, and empty another magazine in your face before you can react). NPCs also don’t seem to drop ammo for their guns(that they were just shooting me with) all of the time when I finally do the impossible and kill them.

3. Why do friendly NPCs/Followers ignore hostile NPCs trying to beat me to death with their bare hands? Is NPC neutrality to each other/lack of infighting going to stay that way?

4. Why do I keep losing stamina when I’m not even running/attacking anything
