Is there a way too check the time? I was running around and suddenly I can't see poo poo. I'm not sure if it's because a boomer exploded next to me or if its just dark outside. With a torch on I can see a bit further but apart from that its 1 tile in every direction.

It takes a little getting used to. If you find some kind of watch or clock, that meter is replaced by the actual time.

Just chewed through nearly a dozen characters running a Bad Day Tweaker start. The Bad Day start is bad enough as you start infected with no equipment and the flu. Oh and you're in the middle of the city and the house you're in is on fire. Taking the Tweaker profession on top of that gives you a meth addiction, so at any moment in time if you can't find some sort of drugs soon enough you'll all of a sudden drop to 25 speed and be chewed up by whatever is around. Managed to find first aid a few times and my most successful could have lived through to a proper game but I didn't notice when my speed dropped to take my meth and ended up swarmed by fifty thousand blobs.

In addition to what's already been noted, if you're running around again while outside and your vision starts dimming, that's your cue that night is falling and you soon won't be able to see poo poo. Daytime similarly is easily noted by slowly increasing your vision back to normal, if you happen to be awake before sunrise.

Turns out there is a huge city near my Evac Shelter, in the opposite direction of the small town I'd been raiding previously. Dashed through it and hit up 4 gun stores before I couldn't carry anymore on my person or in my wheelbarrow. I don't think firearms are gonna be an issue for a wihle.  The only real question is what gun(s) to trick out. Might trick out the SKS, in honor of Fury Road. Plus I got 240 rounds for it, largest ammo supply amongst what I raided.By the way, can I build a better wheelbarrow? A bigger box basically? Or will that be harder to drag?

When it's daytime you'll see blue with a white + in the middle which signifies the sun aka noon in between the []s, during the night there will be a different character that represents the moon in the sky in the middle of the black space between the []s.

You could, but a heavier, bigger cart is going to be harder to pull, until you get to the point where you can't pull it because it's too heavy to move. It's better to have something like a small car or motorcycle if you want to carry a ton of junk around, and if you get really ambitious a whole super deathmobile that can scream around everywhere while holding all your stuff.

You'll need some kind of watch, a cell phone, or a wind-up alarm clock, often from a house but sometimes salvaged off a zombie. There are fancier options too, but these are the ones you're most likely to scavenge up.

Ah, that makes sense. I actually do have a motorcycle with side car I found and fueled up parked outside my shelter, I guess I could start using that. Not like I won't be causing enough noise with my new guns. Alternatively I could start building some kind of vehicle, but my mechanic skill is only 3. Maybe I could cut off the side car and mount boxes on the side of the motorcycle like oversized saddlebags. That or build a compact little buggy/sandrail.

Couple of newbie questions: - Is it possible to empty a bottle into another bottle? I have a gallon jug of clean water that I don't want to cart around. - Can I make fire without using a lighter/matchbook? - Can I boil water faster than 1 sip at a time?

Fat Samurai posted:Couple of newbie questions: - Yes, just select the container holding the liquid and then press 'u' to unload, it will give you the option to choose another container (either from your inventory or from the tile you're standing on), you can also press escape and choose a direction to pour it on the ground. - Yes there are a few items other than those that start fires, there's also a CBM that does it. What you're looking for is probably one of the 'fire drills' that can be crafted with Survival 3 I think. - emanresu tnuocca fucked around with this message at 14:08 on May 30, 2015 |

Fat Samurai posted:Couple of newbie questions: re point 3, you can actually batch actions like clean water - Go to your crafting menu, highlight clean water and hit 'b'. this lets you batch multiples of an item. If you wanted to make 10 units of clean water in one go, you could provided you had 10 units of ordinary water. This doesn't work all the time, some things can't be batched. Apparently "reversible" items, but this applies to sandwiches if memory serves and I have never tried to uncraft a sandwhich before.

I haven't seen a bicycle yet (or if I had, I was too busy running like hell), but I'll keep an eye out I guess. Honestly I was leaning towards building a little 3x3 or whatever go-kart/buggy type thing, fuel isn't a huge problem (I know of two gas stations, one in easy reach) and I figure as long as I install a muffler a small engine can't make THAT much noise, can it? Eventually though I wanna build a car worth of Mad Max though.

Galaga Galaxian posted:By the way, can I build a better wheelbarrow? A bigger box basically? Or will that be harder to drag? If you have the right tools, you can take the box off, which'll get you a steel frame, and then re-install it as a trunk, which will bump you from 275 to 650 storage. If you find a truck with a cargo carrier, you can install that for 1000 storage. I also like installing a gas tank so you can siphon random cars while you loot and not have to mess around with containers.

Apparently rollerblades make you very prone to being knocked down! I checked out a basement, cool looks like some guys mancave filled with booze and pool tables and poo poo. Walk in and am immediately knocked the gently caress over by a CHUD, joy! Kept trying to stand, kept getting knocked down. Thankfully my reinforced clothing was holding. Still, I decided "gently caress this poo poo" and pulled my sawn-off out of its holster. Blammo! splattered that CHUD's brains all over the place.  That said, my SKS is proving disappointing, I was expecting to be headshotting Zeds left and right, but its barely doing anything so far. Still, I'm only 3 marksmanship/3rifle skill. [edit] the CHUD was carrying a 55 gallon drum? Welp, I know what I'm installing in my eventual Mad Max car... but how am I gonna transport it?

Having a permanent +20 morale boost is pretty dang nice. music will always be king poo poo of morale mountain, but having to keep putting batteries in it til you get a ups/ups converter can be a hassle.

The real solution is to take stylish, gourmand, and optimist AND listen to music all the time so that your character is uncontrollably tap-dancing with joy all the time despite being half-dead of infection and blood loss. e: which is actually a legitimate strategy since being ecstatic gives you significant Int/Per bonuses and I think boosts your speed, on top of raising your Focus sky high.

It lets you eat just about infinitely without puking, which enables some goofy morale stacking shenanigans. I reached well clear of +100 morale just from gorging on Toast-Ems once.

The way to get a really insane morale boost is with the Blood Filter bionic. Raid a couple of liquor stores a grab one bottle of everything. Drink three shots of something, run the Blood Filter to sober up, and move on to the next bottle. Gain a maxed morale bonus (3-stacks) from every different type of liquor in the game, explode in a happiness singularity.

Setting item spawn rate to 10x is hilarious. I've nearly filled a flatbed truck with materials and equipment just from two FEMA camps and a farm. I haven't even been to town, I don't even know where town IS because I started in the middle of the woods. And when I found a mini-encounter where a drug deal went bad, each corpse was actually a pile of 10 corpses, all fully equipped (But always with only one stack of drugs), with maybe half of them cosplaying Megaman, because I've got 5 fusion blaster arms in storage. My clothes will forever be sewn with human sinew, and if I had any food preservation equipment, I would never go hungry.

I have just found out that Spitters are just as lethal to other zombies as they are to me. I was being chased by a brute and a spitter tried to goop me, he hit the brute which immediately turned into a pile of melted zed. Thanks spitter!

The only downside is that there is no difference between "physically tired" and "sleepy tired" so you need to nap more often. I built something like this, it works pretty well, except I can't haul it into buildings like a wheelbarrow. Also, my survivor gets tired waaaay too fast pedaling it around at 19MPH. But thats fine, I've collected enough parts to start construction of my Magnum Opus. Its amazing what completely tearing apart a VW Bug and a Sedan can do for your mechanical know-how. Plus I found a 6 Liter V8. That said, is it possible to create an easily detachable/reatachable vehicle segment? It'd be kinda neat to be able to have a small cargo trailer or something.

You can make Foldable vehicles I think if you use all foldable parts... this obviously precludes an engine, but you should be able to make a foldable shopping cart. Then you just unload it and store the item version in your cargo carrier until it's time to get it out and unfold it.

So uh, can you blow up engines or something? I turned my tricycle into a motortrike and went on a supply run. While exiting town I suddenly got a "Your engine emits a high pitched whine" in the log which I failed to notice followed by it making a loud grinding noise. Then it died. Thankfully I have a small replacement engine back at base and it won't be TOO much of a trip to haul the engine over in a wheelbarrow. Still, what happened? I hadn't really hit much stuff, everything else on the bike is still light green at worst.

If you drive above your safe speed it'll put stress on the engine, and eventually destroy it if you keep it for too long.

Aaaah, I thought the safe speed was "you're more likely to lose control" unsafe not "you're gunning the engine into the redline" unsafe.  Also, I found an "engraved crystal" in a pile of dirt rubble. I was immediately attacked by a "Shadow". A sawn-off blast took care of that, but now I'm afraid to "activate" the crystal.
