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

You can one hand(lopping of 1 arm for the blaster rifle) some 2 handed stuff(rifles at least) with enough strength, just testing it out(got 18 strength [11 base +7 from insanely strong]) with debug you can one hand an ak-47. keep playing Granade roulette as well as mutation lottery.

What do you mean, Granade roulette?

Sometimes you can find “Granades” in the world. They are like regular grenades, but will give you good or bad stats.

Remember, RNG hates you!

There is an item called the Granade in game used much like a grenade, except 1 of it’s possible 4 effects can permanently boost your stats randomly(another effect does the opposite).

Thats why I refer to anything involving RNG as [Name] roulette or lottery, similar odds of ‘winning’.

I ended up installing it and am having fun with it. It made me wonder, though. Is it not possible to swap the bionics hotkeys? That would be really really handy, but I don’t see the option.

jimboblordofeskimos · 2013-11-01T06:38:00.000Z

The ability to map a few bionics to quickkeys would be very handy.

Logrin · 2013-11-01T07:38:40.000Z

I wholeheartedly concur, to the extent that a bit of my liver and a particularly impetuous region of my pancreas are likely to throw themselves behind the idea as well.

AseaHeru · 2013-11-01T17:06:17.000Z

I wonder why, or if, the idea had not been thought of before.
It IS a good one.

It has come up about… 6 times before I think. not counting ancient discussions on whalesdev.
The input layer and keymaping is a PITA to work with and is being very slowly improved so that stuff like that will work better.

Mamalque · 2013-11-01T20:41:26.000Z

Quickkeys or shortcuts would be great but frankly, if I could just switch the keys around, like you can do with the inventory, I would be satisfied. I installed enough bionics to get into the uppercase keys and it bothers me that I have a bunch of passive ones occupying lowercase keys.

Is cooking with water instead of clean water safe? I seem to be getting sick a lot but I would think boiling the water when making my deluxe oatmeal would sanitize it.

Yeah, if you cook with normal water it should be just fine.

timtek · 2013-11-02T00:23:23.000Z

ok cool, thought so, guess I’ve just been real unlucky with this char when it comes to sickness.

jimboblordofeskimos · 2013-11-02T10:48:35.000Z

Wearing a filter mask 24/7 helps with sickness, that and not getting addicted to things. Avoid eating too much candy as well I think.

What does mass and K dynamics in the vehicle screen tell me?

i2amroy · 2013-11-03T01:06:03.000Z

Mass is the mass of your vehicle. K dynamics is… I’m not exactly sure what it is. It is a very important stat for vehicle collisions though.

Mamalque · 2013-11-03T02:31:12.000Z

Does a vehicle with greater mass take less damage from collisions?

Mamalque:

In my experience (my record is apx 20 tons) no, it just helps with uh… winning the collision.

Is the alarm function of a wrist watch useable yet? And how would I go about using it, if it is functional?
Nevermind, I found it.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2013-11-03T02:50:00.000Z

Um… yeah. Just sleep with it on and a whole bunch of options will be in the sleep menu.

Also works with regular clocks and cell phones.
