How does crafting ultracite fusion cores work? Do I have to used fully-charged cores as the ingoing component? Do Ammosmith and Ammo Factory do anything?

Ammosmith and ammo factory definitely counts when crafting cores. With both ammosmith 2 AND ammo factory 4, I get 3 normal fusion cores instead of one. Similar scaling is applied to crafting ultracite ammunition.


edit: turns out it was 4 normal cores instead of 3

Just got a copy of the Fallout: Wasteland Warfare roleplaying game expansion thing in the mail for the UK. It all smells like playdough which is nice. I'm gonna try to figure out what the gently caress this all is and how it all works, assuming it works.

Once I have the eight code pieces, what do I interact with to actually start entering a code? MODUS talks about the 'flip charts' which I can't see any of, and the only frobbable object is a printer that just says "code not calculated yet".

(I followed the quest to find decryptions instructions in the food factory)

Well, if you want to skip the whole bullshit and skip to just running a silo and dropping a nuke, all you need is a Nuclear Keycard in your inventory and this website:

https://nukacrypt.com/

You don't need to hunt down the code pieces dropped by officers or bother with the boards in the WS bunker. However, make sure you enter the code for the silo you are in. Keep an extra keycard on you, just in case.

If you are seriously interested in the whole decryption process:

https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/9ygyy9/stepbystep_guide_to_decrypting_launch_codes/

I suggest you do this once. All of it, that is. Legit decryption process and a legit silo run. After that it's all up to you.

Correct. The only reason to ever actually be in the bunker is to do the Enclave questline and start the quest to find a Cargobot with a nuclear keycard.

The best thing about Nukacrypt is that Beth went from fighting them to actually supporting them because the whole decryption process is "fun" exactly once, after that it's complete bullshit. That way they can just keep it as is and not invest any time in changing how the codes are obtained.

Same for the Silos. It's too much work to fix all the glitches so they'll just never speak of them again instead. With PA and photomode you are done with the silo in 8 minutes or less.

The worst part about nuke silos is that even if your doing them legit, they can still bug and refuse to finish which then wastes an unknown amount of your time depending on how legitly you did it.

I want to see another bethesda fallout set in the fo4 time period that features the descendants of vault 76 and whatever society that they have formed. Like how the ncr and khans both came from vault 15 but the guys from west virginia are gonna be descended from mutant supermen who got all hopped up on enclave serums

I'm assuming the serums cause sterility, hypercancer and death within ten years. The scientists weren't exactly concerned about their subjects' wellbeing.

You can use photomode to bypass any locked door in this game.

The first door comes right after the laser grid in the room with the two Gutsies. Crouch, face the corner of the door, open the map, enter Photomode and move towards the corner of the door. Keep moving forward and exit photomode. If done right, you'll glitch right through the door.
The next door is on the other side of the room you just glitched into. Be careful, there are a couple of bots in there. Fight them, or don't. Repeat the glitch on the huge rear end door, run up the stairs behind the next door and you are in the launch control room.

The important bit starts at around the 5:50 mark.

Going out of bounds is also an option but photomode is easier and doesn't take that much longer anyways.

I used to do so many runs by putting down my power armor on the boxes at the entrance and clipping up and then jumping into the nuke room, and they kinda fixed this bug. The photomode can be so much faster than that old exploit because how easy it is to pull it off each time.

Works all the time. Downside is that you might get stuck in your PA, unable to exit it again. Jumping servers fixes it.

I'm wearing the stealth suit as my out-of-PA armour because it's light, has excellent radresist and does something my PA doesn't already do better (stealth). I'm annoyed that this means I can't dress up.

I ended up buying the Silver Shroud costume with like 15 seconds to spare after not playing for letting like a week.

Grinding out challenges for Score points just really made it bland, and the Wastelanders storyline keeps bugging out on me. I got as far as Vault-Tec University but the quest keeps breaking inside the building.

If you get the "Removed from instance" message when trying to enter VTU, leave your team, maybe server hop and try again. I don't know why VTU doesn't play well with being in a team, but it's the only way I can enter it to complete the ''Heart of the enemy" quest.

Bethesda broke it with the last update. No idea how they managed that but, well, it's Bethesda.

I recently got my hands on a B2515 Flamer and that thing shreds absolutely everything. It's especially great in the DOs because of the contextual ammo system. I usually get out of one of those with 800 more 'rounds' of fuel than I had before I went in. It owns.

Only downside is that you have to mod the barrel everytime you relog or server hop because there is a bug that resets its range to 0.

The day they'll have fixed all the bugs is the day I stop playing because, surely, this will be the end of days.
