That's a bummer, turning into a crazy mushroom man was how I wanted to wrap up my old save. Oh well.

Is there a list of what Map Icons mean? I just found a odd looking base that shows up as Pink X's on the map.

Heavy Survivor Set + Survivor Hood. All lined with kevlar. Plus assorted elbow pads and such worn to avoid stacking penalties on encumbrance. If this isn't enough to protect me against the bullets from the Science Lab turrets, I don't know what will. Edit: Turns out you can't wear the Hood with the Heavy Survivor Helmet. Oh well. Carrying on. Artificer fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Jun 20, 2015 |

Artificer posted:Hmmm. I'm supposing a set of Heavy Survivor Armor, boots, and such is sufficient? I COULD line it with more Kevlar. A full set of light survivor armour with knee and elbow pads and a kevlar vest is enough to face-tank the sort of turrets you find in labs - in fact, I think the light survivor armour alone would do the trick, but I can't attest to it with personal experience. Also don't forget to check the temperature after you enter - some labs are refrigerated or outright frozen, making spelunking in them difficult as hell.

Depending on your strength it could be possible to sledgehammer reinforced glass windows. If you've got hydraulic muscles it'd definitely be possible.

Is there an easy way to craft lots of 'reversible' items at once? It really sucks to craft, say, lots of hard plating because you have to make a shitload of lumps, and it doesn't let you use the batch feature.

Hammer the 'repeat last crafted' button - it's hyphen by default, IIRC. Though in that specific scenario, you're probably better off approaching it from the other direction, by disassembling the steel frames off the closest car.

The only fast way is to use craft last item over and over, I think it's '-' and just blast through. e: they're making hard plating, though

I shot a thermobaric rocket into a military bunker, watched the flames consume the whole thing, and then immediately died to the last, extremely damaged turret on the first turn I saw it. At least it's outside the only city I seem to spawn in.

It emphatically is not enough by itself. You probably won't get killed, but you'll be taking damage every time. With a heavy suit it all just bounces off unless you're incredibly unlucky, and you can layer other stuff over it if you want to be sure.

I've done a lot of stupid poo poo in Cataclysm. I punched mi-gos and moose to death with my bare hands. I let out a shoggoth to see if I could kill it (massed Sniper FAL fire does the trick). I rammed a flaming eye with a car. I rammed tank drones with a car. I rammed a chicken walker with a car. I still don't gently caress with military turrets. Just use a card on the door, it's 1000x easier. Unless you've got an optic cloak or the stealth CBM, in which case you can just Molly Millions your way in and then use a hacking laptop a few times. Then disable the remaining turrets and you should get a shitload of 5.56 ammo and M4s.

Some extra care need to be taken with outposts, they can have automated spotlights that light you up for the turrets to see and fire at.

Does anyone know how the damage vs. armor (and in particular, armor-piercing) formula works? I'm trying to figure out what should be enough protection to completely negate a milspec turret opening up on you, but I can't figure it out by observation alone. It can't be that armor-piercing goes through all armor non-negotiably, because regular lab turrets use 9mm rounds and those still have an armor-piercing value of 2. But it can't be a simple bonus against armored targets, either, because milspec turrets use 5.56 NATO rounds which have 40 damage + 8 armor piercing + 4 bonus damage from the M4 carbine stats, which is still less than the 70 cutting protection offered by a heavy survivor suit. (If turrets have weapon skills and ranged weapon skills affect penetration that might invalidate what I just said, but I'm pretty sure ranged weapon skill only affects accuracy and other peripheral stats, not direct damage.)

Military turrets do not gently caress around. I happened upon an outpost at night and was able to snipe the turrets from afar. Before I took the last one down, I watched it catch sight of a soldier zombie wandering around a corner and loving gib it with a close-ranged burst. Don't gently caress with military turrets. re: Cryo labs, a thermoelectric suit (the full-body one) with fur lining has 0 encumbrance and like 100 warmth when active, covers every body part, and is worn close to the skin so it doesn't interfere with armour or storage clothing at all. One of those, nomad gear, a fur coat, and various armour+socks+gloves had me overheating slightly until I reached the really deep floors where it was negative fifty billion trillion degrees. I imagine if I lined it with wool too, it would be warm enough to help me defeat even the deepest ice labs. I do recommend a UPS conversion for long delves though.

If you don't have the UPS conversion bionic and don't want to waste batteries, the an extra battery mod+rechargable battery mod combo is more than enough to last a whole ice lab.

The sorting order of your clothing is important -- wear that kind of stuff under your armor. (Which is to say, above it on the list.)

I'm trying to figure out what should be enough protection to completely negate a milspec turret opening up on you, but I can't figure it out by observation alone. Before it checks armor, the bullet gets a damage bonus based on the shooter's accuracy roll. A headshot does up to 3.75x damage (depending on RNG), or a non-headshot critical hit can do up to 2.3x.

Yeah I notice it's totally random what gets damaged. I just think union suits/thermoelectric suits get damaged really easily so it fails the roll to not take damage more often or something. I notice it happens with lovely non-armor clothes underneath real armor just as often.
