Tips, Tricks, and Newb Questions!

OK for the issue I stated in my last post, I found this(https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/21855). I am crafting from a wooden keg, rather than a vehicle, so not sure if it’s the same issue.

Does anything affect the harvest amount of veg/fruit that I planted? Like if it’s ready to be picked, but I just wait to pick it until later, does it rot or impact the amount that will come from it?

Does fertilizer do anything besides speed up the rate at which it’s ripe, or does that affect harvest amount?

AFAIK waiting won’t do anything, because the actual things you harvest aren’t created until you harvest them (prior to that the only “true” item on the square is a seed).

The only thing that affects how much you harvest is your survival skill, fertilizer just reduces how long it takes plants to grow.

I think the gamma globulin shot boosts the hidden health stat, from the old posts I’m reading, is it still the same? Also, do you use it anytime, or should I save it for if I get sick?

Your health stat drifts towards neutral, so a positive boost will fade after a while. Gamma globulin shots are best used when you think it might be low, because you’ve been subsisting on junk food or something.

or you are running around in turnout gear all summer and sweating up a storm

Ahh good to know… thanks :slight_smile:

Yeah still find it weird that you lose health if you are not in comfortable. I mean if you are not staying hydrated in the heat and warm enough to prevent frost nipping in the cold I don’t really see at least too well why that would affect health, cold being the one I can only really understand.

Okay so besides preventing you from accurizing the item in question and making said item use basic repair kits instead of fire arm repair kits what does the primitive ranged weapon tag do?

Have you been in an area with high humidity, like most of the East Coast? People can get extremely sick in the summer here from not hydrating and suffer from heat stroke. It’s very real and very dangerous. I’ve worked for landscaping crews in Colorado and Virginia. In Colorado you can work all day and not break a sweat in 100+ temperatures, unlike Virginia where you have to drink so much water just because you sweat so much out. You still have to stay hydrated in Colorado, of course, but I’d much rather deal with dry heat than humid heat. Even the winters are colder out there, but the dry cold is much more tolerable as well, IMO. I walked 2 miles in ~ 3 foot of snow when I first was out in Colorado just because I had never experienced dry snow.dry cold like that before. Also, snow shoveling is so much easier out there than it is here in Virginia, due to the “powder” snow not feeling like a bucket of water every shovel full, like the wet snow here out East. In this humidity, even in the winter you start sweating, in Virginia, then things get really really cold. I didn’t have that problem in Colorado, the sweating in the cold, so it was much nicer. I am no expert of course, so take everything with a grain of salt, these are just my experiences. I only lived in CO for 1 year then moved back to VA.

I don’t know about the primitive tag thing though, sorry.

Hi.

This may sound pretty noob but, how i can train electronics? the only way i know so far is via books but those are very rare in my current map, i want to know if its there some kind of grinding i could do.

The main ways are to read books, craft items at or above your current skill level or to disassemble items till they stop giving experience(I think for the last one)

Is there a way to reinforce a throwing weapon like the knives or the throwing axes?

EDIT:Also is it possible for a weapon to have more than 2 type of damage i.e. can a weapon have bashing cutting and piercing damage or is 2 a hard coded limit?

Does not seem so, just check with the basic repair kit, resinous cord, welder and soldering iron seems like an oversight to me.

I can understand as throwing weapons don’t seem to receive damage from hitting things but I would have liked it if I could get the most damage from my throwing axes.

On another note.
Can weapons have all three damage types?
I was going to also ask why I couldn’t diamond coat a lajatang however I looked at the item again and saw that the item was made of iron so never mind.

How does diamond coating work nowadays? I took a long break from cataclysm shortly after they changed it. Originally it was done at a special machine in the lab and worked on about 5 specific weapons. I’ve heard that it works on alot of stuff now and you do it through the crafting interface. Is there somewhere that I can find a list of things that can be diamond coated?

I got smashed the last time I went into a frozen lab. This time I have the following gear:

Thermal Electric Outfit (UPS) (I have UPS CBM)
Heavy Survivor Suit
Heavy Survivor Gloves
Survivor Trenchcoat
Heavy survivor mask
Steel leg guards
flame-resistant socks
ANBC suit
Survivor rucksack

I also have climate control CBM. Any other items to bring?

Unfortunately no however here is the general way it seems to work. 1. Item has a cutting damage value 2. Said item is made of steel. Those seem to be the only requirements.
