[quote=“evilexecutive, post:10514, topic:47”]On my newest survivor, I managed to get the Unified Power System CBM from a crashed helicopter. And successfuly installed it! I then saved, and spent several hours looking for a laser weapon so I can break the game. I ranged farther than I’ve ever gone before from my base, until I found a bunker and a lab right next to each other.
The bunker had a flamethrower that I thought would make a nice addition to my armoured car, and it had a Laser Pistol in it! While I then went into the lab looking for some mutagens and fetuses… Then a scientiest threw a flask of acid at me that instantly crashed the game.
My last save was from 4 hours previous. At least I can probably go back to where the lab and bunker were to get the stuff all over again. Such is life on the Latest Experimental[/quote]
If it’s anything like my experience with the game, the problem wasn’t the flask of acid, it was the four hours of exploration. The more ground I cover between save/reload, the more likely a crash becomes. Yes, it happens MORE often on some kind of attack (theirs or mine), but just walking or driving along can cause it, too.
Also, if that lab and bunker had not been explored before, their contents will not be the same. That’s just the way it works.
For labs, they will have exactly the same layout on the map (that part is generated from the map seed or something similar), but the contents of the room will be generated randomly, including even what KIND of rooms they are - what was an analyzer the first time may be an observation room, for instance. The stairs and “loot room” will be in the same places, but the contents of the loot room (or even what kind it is) may well be different. I had one that had CBMs in it, the game crashed, I came back, and it was a sub-prime contact room instead.
