[quote=“Zeebie, post:17199, topic:42”]My character seems to be perpetually tired. I can sleep normally, and get the positive health messages (your muscles stretch, etc), and seem fine once waking up. But within 15 minutes or so of game time, I become tired regardless of what I’m doing. I can go back to sleep for 10 minutes or so, but then the tired condition comes back. I don’t have any conditions listed on the status screen. I took some antiparasitics just in case but it doesn’t seem to have helped. Any ideas on what could cause constant fatigue?

Earplugs and a blindfold. Sounds like you arent actually getting a full rest.[/quote]

Also, the negative trait Poor Hearing. Not only it is useful in more circumstances that it is disadvantegous at, you also gwt 2 trait points for it. Quite a win-win, really.

Is there a way to get rid of Illiteretate at some point in a game ?

No. Long-term activities such as learning a written language and aging in general are unsupported by game code. Would be nice to have, in addition to family mechanics and barrel wear.

[Fris0uman]

Ok so an Iliterate character is flat out cut ou from crafting mutagen and CBMs ? That make sense but it’s frustrating

[Coolthulhu]

You can bypass that by having a NPC friend read the book out loud.

[Fris0uman]

Neat ! Thanks, I knew you could read to NPC but not that they could read to you.

…

except for the part where a zombie is almost guarenteed to bash through your windshield before you can hear them if you take poor hearing or heavy sleeper.

@Rot

Slime pits imo are easy to clear out

they are indeed, it’s still a first good stop for training right out of the box, if one’s around as you’ll almost always get surrounded.
still, don’t underestimate being surrounded entirely, especially very early on.

I take both poor hearing and heavy sleeper. Just sleep in a safe place - or, if they do get to you, you’ll wake up when they attack you.

Anyway to open a jammed safe?

@Miloch

Anyway to open a jammed safe?

never run across one - all the safes I’ve ever found took a lockpick, an electrohack, or a stethoscope to get into. You can also bash them open, but that runs the risk of damaging the stuff inside (usually only really breakable stuff, like stuff in glass bottles, is at any serious risk).

[Miloch]

I jammed it by trying to pick it.

[Azrad]

Smash it. Jackhammering will destroy normal safes, but it doesn’t seem to affect electronic gun safes. For that, a sledgehammer will suffice. As I recall, even a survivor with 8 strength can eventually bash it open. Same for normal safes.

Will probably smash any glass items contained inside, which is usually just purifier.

[tarburst98]

to make sure i don’t accidentally close the safe on the items i use advanced item mode / and move everything behind me before even checking what they are.

One can engrave with knife, but can one sew letter on a fabric item?

I intend to turn a hulk hide into a hat or a waterskin, and want to write “hulk” on the item.

You can’t sew letters. However, you can make a survival marker and you can write on the item.

[_k1]

Thanks! That’s good. I hope the mark would be quite durable and not easily fade.

Also, my mistake. Upon checking, it seems that you can indeed write on an item using a tailor’s kit.

[_k1]

That’s even better.

[Zeebie]

I think the needed NPC for the “Deal with informant” quest was killed before I could talk to him - any way to respawn him or mark the quest as finished?
