Tips, Tricks, and Newb Questions!

.223; you can find it literally everywhere thanks to the abundance of weapons and their magazines chambered in it. .308; is a close second because of the SCAR-H and the good amount of ammo you can get from many Humvees.

[quote=“Rot, post:15180, topic:42”]What’s a decent all-round rifle cartridge? That’s both plentiful and powerful?
I’m thinking .223 or .308 or the variants of said cartridges.[/quote]

Pebbles… To build your rifle skill so not to waste ammo, the pnuematic assault rifle is still OP due to the fact it’s silent. In reality there should be some air discharge similar to a sneeze.

At least it was all standardized now, so your not looking for .223 and/or 5.56mm

Depending on the operating mechanism, most air rifles are quite a bit louder than a small calibre rifle like a .22, especially when the latter is suppressed.

.223 VS 5.56mm is an important distinction IRL. One is safe to shoot in the other, but not vice-versa. Still, I guess it’s a game where shooting .270 from your .30-06 doesn’t wreck your gun or result in a catastrophic failure, so it’s kinda moot.

Question: Diesel seems to be a new thing since I last played (or at least something I never noticed). I’m guessing it behaves sort of like real diesel and trying to run gas in it would work out poorly for my car? Any real advantage to one over the other, or over my usual electric preference?

As far as I know the behave the same but you can craft diesel with a book and enough skill.

How do I fight flaming eyes without them using their stare attack and forcing me to waste antifungal meds? I tried putting on a blindfold and didn’t prevent the Flaming Eye from staring at me.

block los.

ram them. shoot them. use a cart with a wall.

or dont fight them

I’m for some reason under the impression I can make ethanol and run gas engines off that as well. Hrm.

Rotten is fine for making any recipe, including food. Bird mutagen is non-perishable, so the rotten tag doesn’t carry over anyway.[/quote]

Thanks! Now to actually find the bloody book that has the recipe. Grrrrrr

So does anyone know what hypervitaminosis does? I went a little bit nuts with the vitamins it seems.

Random itching and pain? Went away before I experienced anything for sure.

At this point, none of the deficiencies provoke any penalties. I think the same is likely true for hypervitaminosis. The vitamin system is unbalance and incomplete. I think that you are safe for now. My understanding was that it messed with metabolism–that is what the message says, right? I think food and water will be consumed at a higher rate than normal.

Yeah, thats what it said. However I only had it for 5-6 hours so I couldnt tell for sure if it actually did anything.

this effect you get from overdosing vitamins, nothing to worry about but if you see that you do not need to take vitamins for some time

I have a vitamin A deficiency, makes my eyesight bad apparently.

But no ingame effect.

Whoa, really? How long has it been since you’ve played? It’s in 0.C, and I think it was in 0.B (when I started playing) as well…

But to your actual question, I don’t think the game actually LETS you try to use the wrong thing. Gas engines take fuel from gas tanks, diesel engines take fuel from diesel tanks, and I’ve never noticed a way in the interface to put the wrong thing in a tank (probably SHOULD let you, but I haven’t seen a way).

Omg just crafted myself a cargo dimension… 1 mio storage space for your vehicle. Need a portal generator, teleporter, 5 plutonium cells and a cargo carrier, 3 electronics 3 mechanics difficulty 8, can find it under other/materials/stabelized portal… this is fcking awesome, can have a bike with 1 mio cargo space if you wish. LoL

Well, I’m pretty sure the last time I played was a late 0.A or early 0.B - admittedly I had no idea was I was doing, usually played drunk, and didn’t get far XD, so I might have just missed it.

I guess I’ll have to test it - I think you’re likely right. My only concern was that a car with both gas and diesel would run into trouble, but thinking about it that probably doesn’t make much sense.

Looks like I’m still out of date as I’m currently playing 0.C 230d3dc.

what addon adds cargo dimesion? i want to make large mobile base but even cargo carriers are far too small

More Vehicle Parts, I believe.

Vehicle Addition’s Pack.

Sadly it still has the 4096 item cap and i think add weight to your car, so your gonna need a good engine on that bike
(…i noticed foos of steels and metal scraps now stack… yet rags, plastic chunks, and other common 100+ items still do not…)
