smashing, (B)utchering (which also gives survival exp, bones, sinew, sometimes fat, and CBM’s if you pass a skill check roll)

I think burning also works, as well as squishing with heavy vehicles &/or appropriate vehichle mounted equipment. (such as road rollers)

Litppunk:

Odd. I don’t usually think of giant wasps being THAT bad an opponent. I am going to blame NPC for your death. Its always the NPC’s fault.

They are fairly hard to hit, AND they are immune to the “start a fire under them” trick (since they fly), which makes them basically invulnerable in melee to a non-melee character early on.

Low hp doesn’t matter if you can’t hit them.

What gun mods (As in Icecoon’s, not suppressors and stuff) are compatible with the new magazines?

I’ve noticed my clothing isn’t increasing in damage resistance when reinforced. Is this intentional?

Does the stone ring prevent fire from spreading if placed in a building or does it just work for that outside?
Aka… what does it do?

Zireael:

Can we have folding vehicles with greater storage?

Vehicle Additions Pack mod makes cargo carriers foldable, but they still take up as much volume and weigh as much.

Voqar:

Sometimes it takes a while to get a FOODCO kitchen buddy in your ride (which does wonders for purifying large quantities of water), so don’t forget about batch crafting…you can do up 20 water at a time to fill your vehicle if you have a kitchen unit (or other means but kitchen units are usually easy to find). Shift +7, “f” to find “clean” water, “b” for batch, hit “y” when prompted to fill vehicle and hit any direction if you’re in the vehicle.

The water purifier can be vehicle mounted, has the same §urify vehicle tank contents feature as the FOODCO, and is much easier to find at a sporting goods store and/or craft from materials. In fact, if you want to craft a FOODCO, you need a water purifier anyway so craft one first, then remove it and craft your FOODCO once you get the other components.

VAP annoys me by making rocks ammo.

This seems like it should be fixed. That is the whole purpose of a fire ring. If it doesn’t then just call it a rock ring.

Actually, it’s the Folding Parts mod that does that, and I considering making EVERYTHING foldable at the same volume as the parts it’s made from (or at least a whole lot of things), but I don’t think Kevin would have let it in that way.

Personally, I think any one-square “vehicle” should be able to be considered an “item” - seriously, I can pick up a shopping cart and put it in the bed of my truck, eh? Just making things “foldable” is a decent stop-gap measure until we can haul/tow other vehicles (I sometimes make a folding electric bicycle, for instance, that I use as an outrider).

Litppunk · 2016-03-03T15:58:28.000Z

thats a genius. Stop gap measure. I vote Deoxy and his platform for things.

…I would very much like to fold the entire Solar Roller VI and pick it up so I can carry it down a flight of stairs. There is no reason why I shouldn’t be able to ram Amigara horrors.

Litppunk · 2016-03-03T17:06:12.000Z

O.o I suppose M would be strong enough to potentially pick up the entire solar roller if 2+ sized vehicles were “foldable” Without granades that isn’t something anyone needs to worry about though… especially since no one said that 2+ size vehicles should be fold-able.

Elidor_VON · 2016-03-03T20:02:16.000Z

What do all these turret modes ? “B”, “1”, “M” and “m”?

Elidor VON:

I wish to echo this sentiment some.

B is full auto, or at least burst mode. which may as well be ‘spluge out ammo’ mode.
1 is single shot per round. conservative but useful for small crowds and such.

Half of the answer - it is better than nothing Thank you.
We look forward to the next one, who understands the turrets.

TheFlame52 · 2016-03-03T21:03:18.000Z

The m’s are manual, but I’m not sure what each means. One shot vs burst manual?
