Tips, Tricks, and Newb Questions!

Is it possible to damaging the tool you use when craft something? I mean the tool that required and will automatically used to make an item like a tool that has level 2 hammering quality, level 2 tree cutting quality etc. since you’re not directly using them like when you use them as a weapon. I wonder since this never happened to me before.

[pisskop]

No.

But combat and pulping and smashing thing will possible damage things. Kind of wish there was a small chance for that though. Make preventative maintainance a thing.

Anyone know of an easy ways to kill birds? Cities are too swarmed for me to get alternative arrow components. >.<

[pisskop]

Slings.

Slings should be the go-to for cheap ranged attack.

Throwing the items by hand might actually grant you more range though.

[Grandpuh_Ty]

Thanks. Sling has a range of 18, got me a lot closer to being able to even attempt to hit a bird. Might have to go after turkeys instead, crows seem to be too fast to keep up with

Throwing can pretty much reach artillery tier with the right CBMs and Mutations. Makes me wonder if you can actually ‘critically pulp’ zeds with javelins.

[Arek_PL]

probaly you will pulp someone with roller drum but you need some lucky granade rullette

anybody remember when electromagnetic cbm destroyed hulks (no body, not even pupled body) with roller drums?

[Logrin]

I think certain objects have a thrown range of 1 even if you’ve transcended human limitations. Sadly this seems to include manhole covers.

[pisskop]

Is it possible to define a grenade that would be manhack mounted to use acid/fire?

So far the best method I can think of is to make it a gun that has 1 range and will explode in emp/explosions to kill the manhack in question.

Id really like for there to be a better way.

Does anyone have any ideas for turrets on rolling fortresses? My idea is a to make a mini tank/half-track thing and make it super condensed, but strong nonetheless. Currently 2 choices are the avalanche launcher (super cheap ammo and easy to make, just hold down f and spray) and the rotary cannon, mostly out of how cool it sounds, but also because of the cheap ammo.

[Logrin]

My bread and butter is the slingshot cannon. It’s basically a big rubber band that launches coffee can IEDs. Simple and startlingly effective. If you want turrets you don’t have to manual fire don’t underestimate the blob parts. The name escapes me at the moment but one such addition will basically let your vehicle make deadly reach attacks at nearby foes without pesky ammo considerations.

pulse lasers, they are weak but strong enought to kill even a zombear, they are good for idle firing and guarding your postion when you do something else (sleeping, cooking, repairing)
for more stronger weapon what use power try turbolaser cannon, far more cheaper (use more common blaster arm cbm instead of laser pistols and finger laser cbm)

both weapons are not too hard to craft or expensive (unless you want a lot of pulse lasers) and with solar panels you do not need to worry about ammo, when continously firing while large electric engine is working battery power last for long time and car batetries are realy common so after you hit 100% power it will stay near for long time

I’m definitely installing that one (the slingshot cannon). I see it as the poor man’s 120mm tank cannon, but with a lot more and a higher variety of ammo to use. I have always wanted to use the big bang canisters and what not, and now I can.

Does it now take an entire stack of duct tape to repair a vehicle part? I seem to be unable to repair anything with a stack of 96 duct tape

my game crashes whenever i try to bring my npc to a fight(when he gets into the reach to attack - it crashes right away). somebody knows what’s wrong?

What’s the turret with the longest automatic range, that isn’t high-caliber? I’m looking for stuff that won’t underperform only because there’s 5 layers of armor between them and the outside world.

There are a few that are 18 (like the turbolaser cannon), then there’s the perforator at 30 and the slingshot cannon at 50. Everything else with range over 18 seems to be gunpowder powered.

In regards to farming, I’m trying to get a makeshift vehicle going that can make farming go much quicker. However, the only farming equipment I can find on the wiki (may be outdated, but I just started playing again and haven’t found a farming book yet) are seed drills and reapers. I know I can’t do much until I have the recipes for the farming equipment anyways, but is there a piece of equipment in the game now that tills the land as well? And if so, could I make one vehicle that tills, plants, and reaps? Or must I make a several separate vehicles?

JUST KIDDING SORRY SORRY I FOUND IT

[MrQwerty]

what drugs do you recommend my character to take while reading depressing skill books? I just found Sanguine Codex and it messes me up pretty bad(even though my character is a PSYCHOPATH so it shouldn’t affect him… at all)
