I found a necropolis but when I found the downstairs that, in theory, lead to the vault, it gave me a message about the way being blocked off halfway down. I spent like 15 minutes finding a second staircase, got the same thing. I even turned on the debug menu and teleported a level down but it was all nothing but solid rock. I feel cheated.

Despite the fact that this mansion had TWO libraries, as it turned out. Neither of them contained martial arts books of any sort, much less Five Rings or Ninjutsu. However, I can make European and Japanese weapons and armor know, as well as Control Laptops, and there were a few other books of note, like Engineering 301, that I hadn't seen before, so it was a pretty decent haul still, I think. I will continue my search for the two super rare books I suppose but in the meantime, I can arm myself in style now. And protect myself against robotic enemies I suppose. Edit: Hey I can probably dismantle the mansion's computers to make myself those cameras and stuff I always wanted to.

Oh, speaking of control laptops, anyone have an idea of the most likely place for HackPro USB drives to spawn? I think I found one in a lab my last game but I've been through like six or seven labs and haven't seen one yet.

I just want to say that the brawling style is possibly the most overpowered thing. It is just amazing to be able to stand in place and eternally knock zombies backward with one punch. I even went up to a chicken walker and punched it to death (after it ran out of bullets fighting the local fungaloid population). I also found an ANFO charge in the mines and I decided to carry it around with me, waiting for 'the time' in which I can use it for the best effect. I found my time when I saw a fungal bloom just offroad. I lit it, threw it next to the tower and ran like heck and holy poo poo the explosion. I was deaf for several hours afterward. :v Here's how my salvaged RV looks, standard.  And this is a more technical look of it.  I've completely replaced the outer parts of it with heavy duty frames and military composite armor along with reinforced windshields and a floodlight in the middle between the reinforced headlights. Also notice how much I'm trying to lug around at once too; two of the back cargo carriers are separately devoted to weapons and ammo/gun mods. I'm a packrat at heart it seems. What's the difference between fungal towers, fungal flowers, and fungal blooms? Is there any way to repair damaged ammo, like the kind I find off of zombie corpses?

And in the very next Mansion I look in I find the book of Five Rings. Awesome. Maybe I can find ninjutsu too.  Zombies smashing their way through bookshelves dont destroy the books right? Unless they explode into acid or spit acid on the shelves or something?

IIRC I found two in the automated street sweepers, but maybe I'm confusing them for some other kind of USB hack thing. Also weirdly it would say (in the "V" menu) "USB with Hack-whatever" but when you pick it up it shows as empty. So maybe not the same thing? Not entirely sure, I've never messed with laptops or USB drives.

When I get back to the game I am going to tread really carefully. Possible skill books are worth more their weight in gold for me. Also ice labs are some hardcore poo poo wow. I had some cold issues in the first lab I ran but I guess that is just standard lab temperature? I was ok with heavy armor and some compression tops and shorts and stuff.

Yeah, ice labs are really unmistakable if you're paying attention to your temperature at all. In summer, you can go from Warm to Comfortable or even Chilly just stepping into the entryway of the ice lab. Below that, the first floor is probably going to be below freezing even in warmer months (mine was a mild -33F, according to a thermometer in a storage room), and they just keep getting colder the deeper you go. It's a wonder the robots and horrible abominations are able to even function at the bottom levels in deep ice labs.

Excuse me sir but low temperatures actually improve conduction thus robots should be even more lethal deep in ice labs.

My gimmick run of an ugly psychopathic cannibal bionic monster that would use his starting cabin as his base of operations has turned into my most successful run ever. There's a truck parked right on the nearest road for effectively infinite metal, a mansion nearby for wood and nails, a beehive not far beyond the mansion for easy meat, and nearby crashes and dead military patrols gave me a full set of basic power armour with a hauling frame. And my lab spelunking just uncovered a CVD machine. All I need now is a UPS bionic to become Death, destroyer of worlds.

 Same vehicle as before, I have to replace the forward quarterpanel (there's no heavy duty quarterpanels) every now and then, but this thing's pretty tough overall. Awhile ago I did a double-take on my crafting menu and found out I could weaponize the loving blobs. So my tank now sports two blob spitters that spit acid. I can now kite whole groups and watch them repeatedly walk over acid and die. A couple issues is that it takes a lot of time to make all the necessary blob feed (but the materials"meat, bones, water; tainted or otherwise; is everywhere) and the acid melts all the loot. ro5s posted:What are USB drives actually useful for? How do you use them? They spawn with software in it, but I think HackPRO is the only one with any use. Oh, and you can disassemble them for RAM.

I am dying for absolutly no reason. One secound I'm butchering zombie scientists corpses, the next my torso is at 0 hp and I'm dead. No warning, nothings attacking me, I'm not poisoned, I don't think its radiation. Sometimes when I load the save I can even move around a few steps before I keel over dead. Is there anyway to check whats killing me? The @ screen doesn't list anything wrong.

Breathing stops. I took a single oxycodone earlier cause a couple turrets blasted me, would that seriously overdose me? Ed: I may have taken a secound a few minutes later.

Breathing stops is definitely painkiller OD. I don't think two doses is enough to kill you, but there are other things that can increase the painkiller counter, like alcohol, marloss berries/mycus fruits, and the lightweight trait.

There might be a debug mode command that can save you. Check your keybindings and bind a key to debug mode. I've never managed to OD before, but it does seem kinda poo poo that you go from "fine" to "dead" outright. You'd think you'd get some warning messages and unconsciousness/etc. before just "whoops your lungs done got plumb tuckered out, RIP Foxbutt McCoy" e: I didn't even think of Blood Filter.

I hate that mutation. Its mechanical effects are actually really nice, but the obnoxious visual clutter - and the fact that the slime can conceal items and terrain features! - are just unbearable. That's one of the very few situations where I'll fire up debug mode and cheat something out without feeling bad about it. It's easy enough to irradiate myself a bit so I get a different, less maliciously annoying random mutation.

Then a blood filter should be able to remove drugs and alcohol from the bloodstream, and a blood analysis will tell you whether that's definitely the problem.

I ended up fighting it in melee before shotgunning it to death just outside explosion range. What happened? Did it use up its ammo on zombies or something? Either way I had no ranged options at the time iirc so I would have been hosed.

It could be the ammo thing but more likely you were just out of range. It's very short to compensate for the fact that gun-using enemies can instakill you no matter how armored or skilled you are.

I'm afraid of hulks punching through support structures to get to me and my car and breaking important poo poo. That's definitely nearly gotten me killed before. Good thing this thread has told me that stuff is generally somewhat durable at least.Except for wine bottles and stuff. Following the other people in this thread, I'm going to post my ride.    I should really reinstall my dome light. Can't quite figure out what parts I need to make one though. Anyways. It is a repurposed ambulance. The middle walls have been cut away for ease of movement. I have every mountable furniture module like minifridge and kitchen unit. Every other space other than the chairs and bed (with American Flag blanket) is filled with cargo holders. Because I am a huge packrat and can't bear to throw away things and I love looting things that I "might need later." The frame is the same as before so it is a bit fragile, but I have military composite armor on every square in and out of the car; I removed my old spiked plating since composite is tougher and the spikes didn't seem to do any noticeably more damage. The headlights actually mostly point to the side and back since I use the floodlight, sitting just behind the pink t (turbolaser turret), to highlight my way forward and a bit of the area behind my car. All the solar panels are reinforced upgraded solar panels, and the orange Os are security cameras arranged in such a way to provide maximum all around visibility from the driver's seat. I don't have wing mirrors to worry about, and the car has proved pretty tough, driving through roadblocks and such without much issue. The turret is also great for fire support though sometimes it does spray the entire area down with lasers, such as when I'm driving through a swamp. The large electric engine (one since I don't go very fast very often at all) is in the middle of the car. I have close to a dozen various batteries hooked up to the car so I have a massive power reserve, and combined with the solar panels, means that I don't need to worry about fuel at all. I have two gas tanks in the car in case I decide to get some gasoline and use it to make napalm or something, and two nearly full water tanks for drinking. Plus a keg of salt water sitting in a cargo holder for meat jerky. Also everything is as close to symmetrical as I can because I'm a sucker for that sort of thing.
