[quote=“Catfoodbob, post:1420, topic:42”][quote=“arctan2x, post:1419, topic:42”]Been reading the wiki, and maybe found some hilarity.

If I can wear unlimited bionics would it be correct to say I can wear several integrated storage bionics? Because that seems silly, I only have so much chest. But hilariously viable if I can.

Sorry, noob question I know.[/quote]

I think it would tell you you already have that bionic.[/quote]

Confirming: No stacking more than one non-power-storage bionic. One Internal Storage only.

[quote=“DG123, post:1415, topic:42”]I have decent weapon skill already since I’m using guns. The thing is the range on the coilgun looks to be stupidly short. Am I reading it wrong?

More pressing issue:

I’ve found an RV and I’m trying to get it repaired. It has 17 inch wide wheels but… only seems to have two of them. It says that this is “enough”. I wanted to add more so it wasn’t breaking the laws of physics, but it seems I can’t. What’s going on?

It has wheels at the front two corners and nothing at the back. I have some 36 inch wide wheels to add. I can only add them if I build extensions onto the frame, apparently. ???![/quote]
RV rear wheels are actually underbody wheels: look under the trunks in the living cabinet. There’s 4 of them.

DG123 · 2013-08-23T13:03:34.000Z

Aha, I’ll have a look.

But speaking off wheels, what’s the advantage to using a different size of wheel?

Sheb · 2013-08-23T13:51:24.000Z

I think your gas consumption is higher if you use different-sized wheel. Also, wide wheels don’t trigger landmines, and you’re generally less likely to fumble with them, especially on rough terrain.

DG123 · 2013-08-23T17:05:11.000Z

Well, it already has the wide wheels. I was just wondering if I should swap them out for larger or smaller wheels since there are much bigger wide ones around in the local area…

Aaaand another question. I have crafted a “chemistry set”. What do I actually do with it?

I’m fairly certain that the chemistry set doesn’t actually do anything right now.

False! It makes the perfect decoration for your underground meth lab.

Is it safe to assume it’ll be needed for some high-end cooking recipes?

Or something.

Oh, has anyone mentioned not to pick up a duck dog in a dungeon mine?

Question. How do I draw water from an activated funnel? Does the icon change to indicate it’s full of water or acid etc?

You just use “e” button on it when it’s raining. As of 0.7.1, it is always full of water during rain, and always empty otherwise.

Hey, do Marijuana seeds do anything useful? I can’t see a way to use them…

John_Candlebury · 2013-08-24T12:41:07.000Z

You need a hoe to plow dirt and then you can plant them by examinig it.

DG123 · 2013-08-24T13:30:17.000Z

Aha.

And do any other types of seed exist? (How would I get them?)

John_Candlebury · 2013-08-24T13:49:36.000Z

Think theres strawberry and blueberry seeds that you get from bushes and some cheating reveals that theres wheat but I have never found the seeds.

DG123 · 2013-08-24T14:38:52.000Z

Ah ok.

Also, I just found some “medisoft” medical software on a USB stick. Can I do anything useful with this?

Sheb · 2013-08-24T14:54:14.000Z

Software is used for NPC quest, but that’s it I think.

Any tips on where I can find a wood saw? Can’t seem to find one anywhere and there is no hardware store in this town.

Possibly at a Public Works, but I think I’ve mostly found them on zombies.

DG123 · 2013-08-24T19:40:49.000Z

And I literally just this minute found one on a zombie.
