Tips, Tricks, and Newb Questions!

Yes, but they’ll only fire if they can see their target. So they’ll go right over quarterpanels but they won’t fire at all through boards.[/quote]

What if they are manually controlled through security cameras?
(Specifically, tank guns. My MCV is nearly complete and I don’t want to blow it up with its own main gun.)

Can I built a water well anywhere I want to get water? What ways to get water besides existing pumps and unclean water sources?

Where do I get bulk plastic chunks?

Butcher the clothes of fireman zombies (fire station has lots of their clothes).

Dismantle computer terminals (lots in certain POIs).

Dismantle electronic hardware (big stuff that’s the tiles themselves) you find at the power station types of POIs or outside of radio stations/towers.

I heard wheels provide plastic chunks. Why can I not disassemble/butcher them?

Sounds like you want tons of water - if - get a vehicle with water tanks and maybe a FOODCO kitchen buddy to easily purify it.

For simple day to day water a couple gallon jugs with funnels (activate the funnels to put them “on”) yields plenty of water for cookie and drinking. Have a hotplate or mess kit filled with batteries and a pot nearby to bulk boil the water and empty plastic bottles to store the clean water.

In my experience in repairing or dealing with damaged wheels you just get scrap metal types of stuff from tires. Find a vehicle with destroyed tires and remove a few - you’ll just get scrap.

I guess it’s computer terminals then.

I need all this to get into a military bunker nearby. I have a .50 rifle with some BMG rounds, but the turrets just laugh it off. I collected the casings and am using them to make .50 API rounds which should work a bit better.

Well, I haven’t played this game in a while. Guess I’ll check out the new stuff and updates. When I last played, my char was still in winter, actually just starting it. I don’t know if it was a bug or not, but my temperature was always stuck at Warm(Falling), and it stayed that way. I kept experimenting with the clothing set that gave the most prot/storage/warmth, i.e. with wool ponchos, wool socks, etc. Maybe it was that?

atomic coffee no more give insane warm? peope used to die in deep icelabs from overheating because they used too many of it now it looks like its fixed or something

Fixed half a year ago or so

It’ll probably go away eventually, at the most when winter ends. I think I will use thermal electric suit, but it’ll be better if I can find a UPS CBM, so I don’t have to lug around batteries for my electric socks and balaclava as well. Anyone know where to find those UPS CBMs? Or should I take an alternative method?

{ “monster” : “mon_bear”, “freq” : 1, “cost_multiplier” : 10, “ends” : 168, “conditions” : [“SPRING”, “SUMMER”, “AUTUMN”] },

What units does the time period above represent? Ive seen enough in-game and in-json examples to have a rough idea of how long ‘168’ units are, but I still dont know exactly what 1 unit is.

where i can find small storage battery recipe? i cant make more ups conversion mods because im out of spare ups and i never seen any small storage battery, only normal and large

I think he means in the game. You can’t make them, only disassemble them from bigger storage batteries.

I think thats what he meant by his reply?

What happens if I put a tiny engine on a big truck? Like a motorcycle engine on an APC? Will it eat less gas? How fast would it be capable of going?

While I believe there is a limit where the vehichle simply stops going, essentially yes, you are trading speed for fuel efficiency.

its possible to have acceleration of 0kph bu still move since rounding happens

Currently the only gains to efficiency from weaker engine are:
The engine itself is lighter
When going below 1% safe speed, the fuel usage is rounded up to 1%

Right now there is no good reason to use smaller engines, except electric ones.
