[quote=“Mamalque, post:1696, topic:42”]Thank you very much for the answers so far, guys.

I’ve got another one: does the Electroshock Unit work only with the Adamantium Claws, as claims the wiki? Or does it now work with other weapons?[/quote]
It should work with anything conductive, i.e. metal.

How are the NPCs, currently?

I keep reading people mentioning them on the thread for what’s happening on their apocalypse and I got curious.

NPCs will still manage to pull the entire universe down around their ears for the fun of it (eg. crash your damn game).

Leave em off unless you dont want a long term game.

NPC’s a buggy currently (don’t think they have been touched at all from before DDA) they will crash your game, prone to random head explosions, aggression even after you convince them to join you and most likely ruin your save(s).

Hey there, fellow players and hopeful “newbies”! I’ve got a simple “tip” to make sure your next game session goes a little smoother!

When playing the game off a “real life” USB drive, it’s always wise to be mindful of how much space is left on it before you save your game! If there isn’t enough, you may find a nasty “surprise” when you load your character again!

Like they’re standing around stark naked due to all their clothes disappearing, and a third of their non-equipment inventory is also missing, and where there used to be a cell phone at the bottom of their item list, there is a now a mysterious and impossible “gallon jug of gallon jug”.

Yikes! You wouldn’t want that to happen to your character, right?
Be safe and be smart, everybody!

How the hell do you get away after being surrounded by blobs?

You’re faster than them (unless you’re very encumbered or hurt).

Don’t let them surround you in the first place.

And if all goes wrong, put down some kindling and create a wall of fire, they are pretty flammable you know

What skill, and what level of said skill, will allow me to make spike plating for my vehicles? I’m guessing it’s mechanics but I have that and can’t seem to make it.

I’m having the same problem - wiki says Mechanics 4 but I’ve not got the recipe. Hard plating, too, is missing. Maybe they come from a book?

(For the record - Mechanics 8, Fabrication 5).

jimboblordofeskimos · 2013-10-28T18:10:50.000Z

I dont know the exact numbers, but by memory you need higher fabrication skill, with some mechanics on the side.

Cars are good against blobs, but generally, note where slimepits are on the map and try and stay away, but really, really dont sleep near slimepits or anthills and the like.

Do gauntlets/gloves/fist based weapons affect martial arts?

Fist-based weapons, yes, gauntlets or hand armor, no.

Hey man, I remember your comics from bay12, shit was awesome. You still making those?

Logrin · 2013-10-31T03:56:40.000Z

Lately I’ve been burning the candle at both ends, prolly going to be throwing some more stuff out soonish ((though I may drop my internet for a month or two while I’m busy with STUFF and/or possibly THINGS.

In the meantime I did doodle up something in the Draw your cataclysms thread.

Mamalque · 2013-10-31T17:42:47.000Z

Where am I most likely to find power armor light and/or heavy helmets? I have both of the actual suits, found together in a house filled with black widows, but so far no helmet.

I would imagine the random military corpses you see lying around and possibly bunkers.

Military bunkers, corpses, and veeery occasionally pawn shops and milittary surplus.

Until then enjoy your Grim Future™.

Alright then, that’ about what I figured. I’ll keep on searching. Thank you very much, guys.

Another one: I understand that installing the Blaster Arm limits my ability to wield some items, but that’s it, right? No hidden penalties, or tasks that will become harder or take longer for it?

I played around with it for a bit, and it seems that while you can’t “wield” engines, wheels, jerrycans, and I’m guessing most of the heavier items, to facilitate their carrying, they go to your inventory, so it seems you can still carry the heavier items, just at a Pain penalty. Is there more to it that I’m not seeing?

jimboblordofeskimos · 2013-10-31T20:40:51.000Z

No rifles. Only pistols, Im not sure about melee weps, im assuming no 2 handers.
