Crafting menu is “&” though, not “$” 
Thanks for the extras tidbits on how to start a car.
Is it possible to save without quitting? I like to save after an important event in case of crash.
Yep press ESC then set up under key configs a key to quick save.
Muscle memory kicks in pretty quickly

Oops, thank you for catching that!

Excellent!!

Looks pretty good. though I consider the look around key pretty important too. (x by default I think?)
How to win the game like a bawss on default settings:
- Pick Really Bad Day Challenge
- Pick Tweaker
- All Stats 14
- Pick Negative Traits: Fast Metabolism, High Thirst, Forgetful, Hoarder
- Pick Positive Traits: Light Step, Spiritual, Gourmand, Robust Genetics (for that late game or be a pussy and pick Nightvision/Fleet-Footed/Quick/etc).
- Start either at House (default) or better yet Military Surplus Store.
- In Mil. Surpl. check minimap for a good retreat location
- Start sprinting and get any gear that helps you stay alive, prioritizing First Aid Kits to everything else (getting a backpack with MREs is a plus).
- Make it out alive and huddle down to the nearby location, unless you find a First Aid Kit in the first 8 buildings - you wont survive.
- Go nuts reading, crafting and generally chilling out for up to 13 days (longest time for Meth Addition for me).
- Enjoy!
Key components here are Fast Metabolism (forcing you to eat more often) and Gourmand (giving you generous morale bonuses which can surpass even a moderate meth carving, especially when using MREs). Spiritual is not required, but again the better the morale, the higher chance of you surviving meth withdrawal.
E: Prefer clean water to coffee/lemonade from the MREs as they are inferior in stats. Only thing that is worth doing would be a Protein Shake, which gives more nutrition than it removes quench from the water. There will be a lot of boiled/purified toilet water between you and the demigod you become after surviving the drawbacks.
New to trying to use vehicles so I don’t know if this is due to a bug or I’m doing something wrong. I took an RV and pulled out it’s gas engine putting in a truck engine (since I have the skill to make my own diesel) and I put in a secondary electric engine for use when I’m low on diesel (and switching to diesel when my storage batteries are dead). I put in some solar panels for the storage batteries the electric engine runs off of and off I went.
The storage batteries ran dry and despite a couple sunny days have stayed at zero percent. Switched over to the diesel engine and that ran fine but despite having an alternator running the headlights while driving at night killed my car battery. Now I have an RV that doesn’t move and won’t recharge.
Damaged batteries? They leak power.
Hi,
Can someone tell me the difference between dispersion and sight dispersion for a gun?
Also, I can’t find anymore (even if I read it once) the differences between bash & pierce damages regarding armor penetration.

Everything was in top notch repair. I may have connected things wrong though.
if there is a light on or something that may drain your power, or a mini-fridge. check the menu.
Dispersion: how much bullets don’t go where you aim, lower is better.
Sight Dispersion: the cap of how much you can enhance your accuracy by aiming (using careful/precise aiming or just waiting), lower is better.
Come to think of it, I’ve actually suspected that newly installed solar panels don’t sometimes charge when they’re supposed to. Make sure the weather is CLEAR and SUNNY. If that doesn’t charge batteries, then restart the game.
Also, there was recently a bug that caused like 20x the intended fuel consumption. It’s been fixed since. Is it possible you are using the buggy version?
And you can’t really “connect parts wrong”. Solar panel and battery locations don’t matter, for example.

Thank you Aabbcc! Very useful for dispersion.
I’ve been sheltering an NPC companion for about 3 days and I don’t know how to make her trust me.
I’ve saved her from infection multiple times by giving her antibiotics (also completing the initial quest she gave me), fed her when she was hungry, and kept her safe when she needed to rest. I’ve equipped her with better weaponry and gave her better clothing, both of which she gladly equipped, but nothing helps with the trust issue. She’s nearly 3 times as strong as I am and I need her to teach me how to handle weapons like she does. Problem is, the percentage to succeed always stays at 0.
- NPC needs are on and I’ve tended to hers quite well so far.
- I have the Pretty trait, but the broken Robot Voice CBM seems to counter it (random gen char).
- Both speaking and bartering are at 0.
- Most of the time she’s posted as a guard in our shelter while I go scavenging (I hear converting NPC to guard/neutral mode freezes current cooldowns?).
I’ve got a book which could increase my speaking to 3. Would that help? Otherwise, what can I do to increase trust? It’s at the point where she won’t take painkillers when at pain because she doesn’t think I genuinely wanna help.
P.S. I’ve never had a friendly NPC survive this long. They’re always so slow and clumsy, but this one managed to tank everything I threw at her so far. Are there any tricks to handling NPCs? I’d really love to tell her to follow me more closely because she’s slow and attracts unwanted zombie attention, but I can’t find that dialogue option. Basically I gave her a crowbar (melee 6, bashing 5) and told her not to do anything but kill anything that gets close. Encumbrance levels are decent. Is that the optimal way to go about this? We’re early-game, 3 days in.
What use is felt cloth? Serious, I never use it for much.
Dismantle for yarn if you have no strings around, load into sewing kits.
Currently it’s mostly just waiting. I didn’t balance that wait time too well, I guess. It’s RNG.
Keep her by your side (not guarding), not hungry, not thirsty, not in pain and not damaged. It only ticks when NPCs are actually following.
If she hates you for reasons other than trust, it will be slow, though.
Speaking won’t make trust rise faster, but it will make convincing (to train) easier.
Making wool items, such as wool socks. That’s about the only one I ever make, but there you go.
Also, I think you can add wool to items to make them warmer? Or maybe that’s only fur… I don’t modify clothing essentially ever (adds too much encumbrance to the items to be worth it, last I checked).
