That’s my problem. I can’t figure out how to refill my magazines, but I can reload my weapon (insert/eject magazines) perfectly fine.

Every time I try to pick up a box or plastic bag of something it gives me an option to drop my weapon and hold it or spill spill out the contents. How do I just pick up the whole thing.

advanced inventory management?

Inventory management seems to take the box or bag and leave the food behind.

I heard something about that problem recently. Think it might be a mistaken side effect of a PR. Or maybe intended with unexpected drawbacks.

vassock:

Got another question: what do I wear to survive the cold of the bottom levels of ice labs?

powered thermal outfit (UPS can be nice for that, especially if you the UPS bionic). Two of those can help a LOT for not much encumbrance.

Wool stuff is very warm, of course. Army winter stuff is also good, and there’s one REALLY warm coat that’s also very high encumbrance.

The Jedi Cloak is 50 warmth all over for very little encumbrance. Seriously, it’s amazing. 2 of those go a LONG way.

The Internal Climate Control CBM helps noticeable.

Honestly, though, the REALLY cold labs are so much of a pain that I often just skip them - dive just deep enough to find a terminal and map the area, then go to some other lab that the mapping revealed and hope it’s not one of those crazy-cold labs.

you can just race to bottom and quickly go up, you just need some ranged weapons and 2 sleeping bags and 2 jedi cloaks and wear them

How do filter masks work? I can find a tag for their filtration abilities?

They give you environmental protection on mouth. That’s it.

I found a 7.5kW generator. What does it do?

Its a very powerful vehicle alternator.

Back to the Future reference. Would be a shame if this game didn’t have at least one…

pisskop · 2016-03-24T02:49:41.000Z

makes power for use with cables.

or light.

honestly theyd only be useful early game because as soon as acetylne torch/toolbox you can make your own

I prefer using a string of upgraded solar panels frm a bubble car.

Just swap out the batteries or put casters on it and wheel em
but gas is plentiful

How about the flux capacitator? it could…um…it could…aid the time dilation cbm?

I have had a common cold for about a week. Is this thing supposed to go away?

Litppunk · 2016-03-24T04:08:52.000Z

get your hidden health stat up. Eat healthy foods and vitamins roughly twice a day or a little less often (~every 18 hours) It should help keep you from getting, and help get rid of health issues.

The way it works:

The hidden health stat the current healthiness try to balance out by randomly one moving closer to the other, but the hidden health stat that doesn’t actively effect anything defaults to 0. When doing unhealthy (-) or healthy (+) things they effect your hidden stat which in turn effects your current healthiness.

Other things that can negatively effect your health if you don’t counter them with vitamins/healthy food are:
Mutagens, radiation, addictions, junk food, and drugs (the illegal variants)

Healthy things:
Healthy food, meat, veggies etc… vitamins, influinza shots, and other shots of a non-illicit substance types

Basically if its normally healthy/unhealthy to do in real life its healthy/unhealthy in CDDA too.

what about installing CBM’s?

Litppunk · 2016-03-24T05:49:15.000Z

If they install faulty, yes. Though I don’t think always so. IIRC its leaky bionic, and malfunctioning bionic or something like that (which leaks hazardous toxins into your bloodstream or something) Otherwise I believe they are all neutral to the health stat minus the filtration ones and stuff that help negate the effects of harmful toxins and such (alcohol, drugs, and the like at the cost of decreased effect iirc [though sometimes this is actually a double plus depending on your purpose.])

When you set an item list to spawn over a given area, does the game spawn 1 item per ‘repeat’ or does it occassionally spawn multiple items?
