Stole a cop car from a checkpoint; took 2 shots to the arm and torso to get it, It has a gray hood.

Found a cargo carrier, it wont let me put diesel into its green gas tanks. Is that a bug? it has no diesel in it; it was on abridge.

Where does one find more oxyacetylene?

(as far as I can tell, the only way is to just find more ace torches. is this correct?)

Unload the diesel containers next to the vehicle.

Before I post a bug report, how do I work an NX-17 charge rifle? Either I’m stupid or they’re broken.

It a charge rifle, meaning it sucks up power from a UPS then it will be able to fire
Just press F once to charge, and after a few turns press F again for a supercharged shot. Or just hit F twice in quick succession.

EDIT:
It’ll supercharge in 8 ticks, so if you leave it up for 9 it’ll discharge in a random direction. So be careful.

Obsoleted due to bug. Where did it spawn?

I’ve been carrying one around in my trunk. Should I toss it?

Why won’t my NPC companion use the bow and arrows I gave her? She has level 6 archer skill, wearing a quiver with 20 metal arrows, and she has even loaded the bow. But all she seems to want to do is just melee with the bow. WTF?

Try taking the arrows out of the quiver. If that doesn’t work idk.

I think it’s bricked.

Damn. What laser weapon can I use to blow shit up?

BorkBorkGoesTheCode · 2016-11-11T22:15:04.000Z

Most other beam weapons are still working.

If you literally want to blow shit up, use the plasma rifle or fusion blaster.

Those are kinda like weak kamehameha wave launchers except they light fire as well. so you can blowup zombie orphans, and roast marshmellows on them. and then you can fire your lazor.

Tell her she can use guns but only silent weapons. I think that’s what I had to do to get it to work.

BeerBeer:

Deploy multiple braziers.

Thanks for the advice! I always left blaziers behind as an useless items, never saw them useful.

Fur clothing is the strongest clothing against cold.

Sadly, right now i lack the necessary skills, but i will try it.

Catfoodbob · 2016-11-12T18:50:21.000Z

i find braziers are an early item for cooking inside.

They are also great as fire breaks - put a square of them around your loot pile, and you don’t have to worry about it burning up, you know… just in case.

My NPC follower got annihilated in a fight. By which I mean all of her limbs are now crippled… Do NPCs need splints or is there something else I could do? I put a splint on one of her arms and it’s been 3 days now and she shows no signs of progress. By which I mean I made her wear a splint like any normal piece of clothing. Can’t use bandages or fa-kits on the crippled limbs.

Any other ideas?
