shoun’t be :/, i seacherd handcuffs and no results, it says if am creative i can escape, how to i remove the electric handcuffs?

I haven’t been cuffed in a LONG LONG time, so this might be out of date, but it used to be that you could just wait until the charge ran out, then they could be removed.

[quote=“Ragno, post:18213, topic:42”]I would recommend slime cart parts, but they are kinda mid game (if i recall correctly you need like around 6 cooking), but they are pretty neat, you can make everything foldable as long as it doesnt has something internal (like a motor or an alternator)

Isn’t slime stuff also really heavy?[/quote]

Well, yeah quitea bit, a simple all slime bike (including a 175vol box) is like around 100kg

You can wait it out. Just be sure to be somewhere safe and have a lot of food & water on you. It takes a while.

When it said get creative I actually thought it meant to try smashing them with something (like for example zombies or concrete walls as it is an item that goes into you held item spot)

Github

That way people always have access to earlier versions, updating to newest version is easy, hosting is free, there is no need to zip anything manually, you can specify which files to include and exclude, version control is handled by git so people can see what you changed even if you’re too lazy to make a proper changelog, text can be linked to directly (say, line x in file y is broken), and you have a free pseudo-forum for discussions and bug reports.

Yeah, I feel like I’m missing something too, but then I rarely have had time to loot properly by the time I get cuffed.

What exactly are quivers good for?
From what I can tell quiver itself adds extra weight and encumbrance, while the volume of arrows/bolts it stores is quite low (you can put MUCH more arrows/bolts into the volume chest rig provides than into large quiver, and chest rig weights much less by itself).
So is there some hidden bonus to how fast you can pull the arrow from the quiver when reloading or something? (well, bonus as compared to pulling the arrow from “general” inventory)
Or is the only upside of a quiver that it’s associated with it’s contents and, thus, will prevent the arrows from being dropped when you, say, drop the duffel bag?

Haven’t mutated for a long time, how ¡FUN! is Chimera currently (with Robust Genetics) and if is manageable? last time I tried Extreme Metabolism killed my character by starvation.

My last character used melee as last resort so I wasn’t bothered to the extra encumbrance of a quiver and the spare volume I got was good for me, in my case it was for roleplay reasons but I always thought you could draw arrows more faster in a quiver than arrows in the inventory, certain arrows such the explosive ones I think those used a lot of my space so a quiver could help in that matter.

The quiver is a bit faster to shoot from, not by much but it can make a difference if youre loaded down with a stuffed duffel bag and have a hulk bearing down on you.

Why? What game-mechanic is at work here? Where can I read about it?

Last time i used a quiver at least (Not too long ago) when you had multiple ammunition types it prompted you when loading a weapon (which happens when you [f]ire a bow) which ammo/source youd like to use, and the load times for, and the load time for quiver/bandoleer loading was just a second or two faster than loading from the inventory. With the recent ranged updates that might have changed, ill double check real quick.
EDIT:
just tested it on the latest experimental. character had 9 dexterity and 4 archery, loading a fire hardened arrow from a full quiver is listed as taking 92 moves, while loading an identical arrow from a stack of 20 from the inventory takes 173. Which isnt the small difference i remembered, and is actually a considerable difference. A quiver can save your life.

Oh, ok. Never noticed that difference in moves use. Thanks, that explains it, I guess.

given the word electric, maybe it’s just an insanely long amount of time?
i mean probably runs out of battery eventually? no clue though really.

How do you feed your NPC friends, and how do you know when they want to eat?

Coolthulhu · 2017-10-29T14:13:00.000Z

_Rogue:

You can either feed them by hand by telling them “use this” or just dump food in their inventory and let them eat it automatically. They will complain about hunger loudly if you didn’t tell them not to.
