Being serious for a moment: SIG552 sounds like a good idea except you can’t cram it into an XL holster and an M4A1+silencer will fit in a survivor harness. (Real) Arc welders exist in city garages and rarely in the rural 3-tile gas station+garage. The radio shack type electronics stores (the ones that don’t have bars on the windows) have a shitload of medium batteries inside food processors and dehydrators. E: Makeshift arc welder will work if you find/attach a recharge station to a vehicle and have at least 2 medium batteries and a way to recharge the vehicle. If you have the materials/skills, a vehicle welding rig will cut down on real world RSI from reloading your arc welder. goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Apr 29, 2020 |

Bingo, the M4A1 and M17 aren’t the best guns in the game but they’re good enough and you don’t have to worry where you’re getting your next 5.56/9x19 from so you will actually use them. Counterpoint is the miltech caseless rounds: sure I’m going to keep these around for a big bad. *sees a skeletal juggernaut* *fixes problem with a shitload of 5.56* goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Apr 29, 2020 |

The correct answer at all times is to run back to your armored and armed DeathMobile and touch the “holy poo poo kill everything” button. That button is hilarious but gated behind electronics 5, computer 5, and mechanics 3: http://cdda-trunk.chezzo.com/turret_controls/craft E: I did a gimmick/not really? build with 1x M2 surrounded by 4x M249s.

Turret pro tip: they don’t have night vision. If you have a source of light that you can throw, step back around a corner to activate it, then throw it so the turret is lit but you aren’t. If you can’t do that, shift-X around the corner, memorize where it is, and run a couple tiles back before you send an aimed burst at the tile it’s on. All tips assume you are in a very dark tile.

/\ truth Hardware stores exist for farming stuff. They won’t have anything more useful than a nail gun*. Look for garages, they will have multiple welding goggles, a shitload of acetylene plus torches, and probably a real arc welder. *Nail gun is a great way to train up handgun skill. Shoot the ammo at a target all day, there’s more where that came from.

Rockopolis posted:And I just realized there's a roadblock with at least a riot turret in the way. I don't know if I can drive a semi through a roadblock or not, I might have to take it across the fields and hope for the best. If it’s an actual riot turret, it has 6x 40mm beanbag rounds. They will bounce harmlessly off your windshield or you could just facetank them on foot. If it’s a pair of M249 CROWS, don’t try it without reinforced windshields but each one of them has 1500+ rounds of sweet sweet 5.56 so you _want_ to ram/shoot them.

Outside, a fully enclosed vehicle with a turret. Inside (or without a deathmobile outside), use the fact they can’t see in the dark. An M4A1 will drop any CROWS turret in a single burst...if you hit it, and if it doesn’t hit you first. If you let an M249 turret hit you, you are at best spending 2-3 days licking your wounds, and at worst looking at a new character. An M240 or M2 turret will straight kill you unless you get very lucky. E: And even if you get to shoot at one that can’t see you (light amp goggles, lab lighting, etc), be 100% sure that you will hit it on your first burst. They are smart enough to shoot back at you even if they can’t see you. A CROWS turret can make your run (hundreds of rounds of ammo and links, a chance to get the MG that fires that ammo) but it’s one of the few things in the game that can also end your run in a single turn. goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Apr 29, 2020 |

Yeah that’s what I meant by if you’re lucky. If you take all 4 5.56 rounds to the head, run is over. All 4 in the torso with an ESAPI? Run...maybe over? 2 in the same limb? Enjoy your splint, run may as well be over. E: /\ I did not know about the 4 tile night vision thing, thanks!

Welcome to mid game AKA what loot do I drop? People upthread were asking about which tools you install in your deathmobile and the correct answer is an autoclave and as many freezers as you need. Welders, forges, etc take up a tile that could be used for 250L of storage. People playing this game who don’t optimize ANGER ME.

Rockopolis posted:I'm doing base building - if I want to use things like a vehicle mini-fridge and RV Kitchen unit, does it make sense to use the vehicle system to build an enclosed wheel-less "vehicle" to use a house and slap some solar panels on top? The drawbacks I had when I was setting up a static base is that you can’t drag carts inside a vehicle and cargo carriers hold a tiny amount of loot compared to a display rack. I used to set up combo vehicle/houses by exploiting the fact you can build vehicle tiles through empty door frames. Have some crappy ASCII art because I’m not by my computer. W is a wall, V is a vehicle tile, R is a display rack, and D is a door. The vehicle tile on the 2nd row is built over an empty door frame. It needs to be a vehicle board to enclose the house or you can get fancy and make it a windshield with a remote operated curtain. The vehicle tiles on the 3rd row are fridges, welders, whatever you don’t need to be next to to use. 4th row is a cargo carrier with a battery charger. 5th row is a seat with controls, a water faucet, etc. Everything within the walls is roofed, the vehicle tiles on the outside can have solar panels. code:

I swear by light survivor everything (except heavy survivor helmet because head encumbrance doesn’t matter). ESAPI vest on the torso. MBR (Kevlar) is another option for slightly less encumbrance but much less protection. The MBR does give you 4 rifle magazine slots and a bit of storage. Survivor harness with an M4A1 or similar, add a pair of leg ammo pouches to hold 4x rifle mags (or 8x with the MBR option). Fast draw holster with an M17, add two ankle ammo pouches for 2x more pistol mags. Scabbard with a crude/arming sword (or whatever sword matches your martial art.) Grenade ammo pouch for 4x grenades or a survivor runner pack for more storage. I split the difference; pouch is always worn with a runner pack in my inventory when I want to grab a couple more things and I’m not dragging a cart behind me.

There are a few different versions of the helicopter crash scenario. You _want_ the one with a bunch of zombie soldiers right behind you. Zombie bio-operators are even better; silencers are good and they usually have one on their gun. - Check the map (m). What are you near? Your character can take drat near anything even on day 1, but not everything at once. - Use (“) to start running and put about 10 tiles between you and the closest zombie. Use (w) to wield your HK 123xyz and use (p)recise shots to take all the zombies down. - Check the corpses to see what you have to work with. (u)nload magazines to reload your rifle and try to stash 2x more STANAGs in your MBR vest by (a)ctivating it. Take first aid kits and hemostatic powder. If you’re bleeding (red body part on the top right or check the (@) screen), you need to fix that. (a)ctivate a first aid kit to disassemble it (contents drop at your feet). (a)ctivate one of the bandages or the bag of hemostatic powder and use it on the bleeding body part to stop the bleeding. - Look for your temporary home base. Cabins are best at this point but houses on the outskirts of town will also work. - I’m tired of writing this on my phone so...uh...start training up tailoring, fabrication, and electronics (to craft a soldering iron). - Enjoy and ask questions here! goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 06:01 on May 18, 2020 |

Grab the CDDA Game Launcher from https://github.com/remyroy/CDDA-Game-Launcher/releases . You can unzip tilesets and whatever else into the directory structure it creates. Agreeing with above that you should start with vanilla (except for Undead People tileset) at first. One more link, http://cdda-trunk.chezzo.com/ . The in-game crafting menu (&) is great, especially once you learn the search terms, but it only shows you what your character already knows. The above link is great when you can’t remember what levels of tailoring and fabrication you need to craft a light survivor suit. goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 06:10 on May 18, 2020 |

You definitely can! It’ll take somewhere in the range of 2 in game weeks to set up a 7x7 cabin (5x5 internal) and I’m pretty sure you can do it with tools you can make yourself with enough survival skill.
