MrQwerty:

I simply often get poisoned by those asshole spiders a lot and it becomes impossible to hit them due to huge penalties to everything… and i think my survivor, who can make crack and meth, should be able to craft antivenom… or get it from vet clinics or something.

Just don’t go near spiders…

Yeah, spiders are assholes. Unless you can get them on an obstacle to mess with their agility, you’re better off just frolicking the other way, or plinking at them from range.

Guns folks. Shoot them with guns

Has there been a change to bionics in experimental recently? The description for the Anti-Glare Compensators I just picked up say they need 1 eye slot. Can I no longer install everything and become some sort of Arnold Schwarzenegger level cyborg?

Yes. There is an ongoing attempt to rein in bionics by limiting the number of bionics that can be installed.

Dang, any word on a an option/mod to disable it so I can be shamelessly overpowered?

I see bionics now take up a certain number of body part slots. How do I see how many I have being taken up, where, what is the max, and what are the negative effects of this?

SHIT, BETTER INSTALL THIS ENTIRE PILE OF CBMS THAT I HAVE THEN

Nuts, overencumbered. Might as well down some adderall and try replacing my corneas with diamonds, I guess.

Ok, what the hell. My vehicle disappeared for the SECOND GODDAMN TIME. After fighting off a huge horde, all I see when I update the versions is a blank space on the ground. Is updating experimental in big leaps bad? I went from 4712 to 48-something. If it is, I’ll try and update in small increments. And what is the cause of this? I really don’t want it to happen for a third time…

any tips on best type of bombs to blow up doors? i had trouble getting into a pawn shop so i used a fertiliser bomb… which turned out to be an overkill. I am alive but will spend rest of the day healing, and i probably destroyed too much of the interior, since the bomb was right next to the door… now that i think about it, my plan was overall stupid…

pisskop · 2016-05-19T14:10:50.000Z

a crowbar

bombs in this game are really too erratic to be reliable door openers. and my throw skill has more than once doomed me.

c4 can punch through metal doors on a good day. but its not 100.
a car can punch through rock or metal, but not like they could pre 0.C

xthorgoldx · 2016-05-19T18:02:09.000Z

Can you crowbar metal doors? Usually I just find a jackhammer and work my way through with that.

pisskop · 2016-05-19T18:15:52.000Z

No. But I mean wood ones.

I think you could try lockpicking them?

tbh I dont even bother. If its locked I either move it along or ram into it with a car.

Dummy, you should of just broken the damn windows… A bomb, jeez…

You can lockpick metal doors. There are some metal doors that cannot be jackhammered or picked, so keep that in mind.

The windows had bars and it would take much more effort to get through them. The idea wasn’t the brightest, and it destroyed all useful things inside… but still, i kinda like explosives in this game.
Though now i know they are more of a npc/monster destroyers than tools for grand theft.

Do more plants (trees, undergrowth, dandelions) grow, or are the plants you start with the only ones you will ever see in that area?

I’ve never seen any more of them grow. Wish they would (very slowly).

I agree. the game needs more long-term survival mechanics.
