Do you also not exceed the bionik limit?[/quote]

I love the bionic limit. I’ve always felt that the game should encourage you to specialize a bit more.

Oh man, you do too?

Yes.

I’ve seem to forgot how to purify water via onboard water purifier. I have a dirty and clean tank, I just don’t know how to activate it.

Tawarochir · 2016-10-02T16:11:09.000Z

'e’xamine the purifier and 'P’urify the water.

(A)Does the morale penalty for killing innocents or friends decrease the more you do it, like for when you kill zombie children?

(B) Is it possible to build a “resistance” to fear attacks that paralyze you? Certain creatures have the nasty ability to paralyze you just by staring at you, often resulting in you being stunlocked to death. If I constantly get paralyzed from fear attacks, will I eventually get affected less and less?

Nope, only way to go over that is to have the perk that reduces moral penalties (was it like psychopath-trait?) - But morale overall is so minor issue that you can go and kill those zombie kids in any numbers without serious consequences. Just craft the neccesities BEFORE doing atrocities (avoiding the your morale is too low to craft) and sleep over the quilt-trip before doing important training sessions to get good focus. Something like 15:00-18:00 is good time to kill the children - you have crafted the morning, trained a day and then its time to hit the moral low

I play with Moodswing-character that gets -200 morale penalties every now and then and when I hit the suicidial feels its time to go shoot squirrels and dogs for meat and gather firewood and do everything that benefits character without requirement to craft or to skill up… hauling stuff is also good way to repent.

This is art right here

Well… by having a planned schedule you can ignore the Psychopath-trait and take for example Accomplished Sleeper. I mean, why be senseless killer if you can simply sleep over anything - including your bad feelings about senseless killings you did when it was … convenient.

(B) No. They’re intelligence based, so you can do drugs to increase resistance.

Do you even Tinfoil Hat bruh? Does wonders on Amigaras. Not sure about anything else.

pisskop · 2016-10-03T21:02:29.000Z

tinfoil is fairly rare, to be fair.

not too much in basegame (or mods, paralyze is almost universally disliked) does fear. Ive got an upgraded jabberwock that does, but Im not even sure if anyone has even seen it outside of debug spawning it.

Its a beastly thing.

SpadeDraco · 2016-10-03T21:11:47.000Z

Speaking of jabberwocks, what is this “vorpal” technique you’re supposed to get for killing one? What does it do exactly?

A small chance to instakill enemies through decapitation.

Things without heads are immune.

Arek_PL · 2016-10-03T21:27:36.000Z

instakilling by beheading enemies what have head or something like that

pisskop · 2016-10-03T22:34:03.000Z

Is the game smart enough to recongize a rift or hole or open gap in the ground as letting in sunlight or being undeground?

i.e. is it possible to make an underground farm by making the area on top of the farm open air without roof?

Is this a new feature? I’ve killed several of those things and didn’t gain anything from it.

It’s more than a year old.

What happens is that you only get the technique if you kill the jabberwock with a diamond sword. And only the sword you killed the jabberwock with will be able to perform decapitations.

Is there a setting to adjust vehicle repair speed? This new “takes 2 hours to spot weld a slightly damaged panel” thing is incredibly obnoxious.

Hi everybody, so I’m new here and new to cataclysm, but I wonder if there is a way to haul stuff in your hands. So that I don’t have to take it into my inventory just move it away?

You can wield individual items in your hand with (w). If you want to shuffle things around in the squares near you, you can use advanced inventory (/). If you want to haul things a significant distance I’d recommend stealing a shopping cart from a grocery store and dragging it around behind you with the items in question inside of it.
