> How the heck do I get power armor boxes and miniguns opened?
At the armory. Miniguns also require a battle saddle (Made at the craftspony's workshop) and ammunition. The
Workshops and Industries Guide has comprehensive info on the various workshops and their reactions (Except for the Ministry of Morale - I haven't updated it yet).
> Do blank ponies have to eat and drink, or are they like non-rehabilitated slaves?
They're like non-rehabilitated slaves; they don't need sustenance and can be converted into basic laborers or robobrains.
> I just experienced the military screen crash that everyone has talked about.
Thanks for the information. The main problem is that the crashing isn't consistent; I won't know if any fixes I apply actually work.
> Alt-f is for workflow plugin, so Change the hotkey for "gunsmith's magma forge" to something else.
Changing the workflow hotkey is already mentioned in the hotfix section.
> I put all my chickens in a cage in the workshops room, they turn into mines just fine.
Great advice! One small caveat is that interaction chains don't work in cages as caged creatures can't use interactions. It isn't a problem now as the current creature reactions end with the transformation and so aren't affected, but it's why interrogation subjects must be uncaged when targeted by a Pinkamena.
> BTW, I have a way not to cause the equipment crash. I think. Move the cursor in the first and second columns to the top, then press "e".
If this works after further testing I'll add it to the first page.
> Wooden cages
I may remove plywood cages, but I can't do much about wooden cages in general.
> Apparently, one of my ponies is a refugee from a Steel Ranger bunker and has graciously decided to share their knowledge with the rest of their new Stable and kind.
I don't think artifacts can be used in reactions, so you have a nice trophy to mount in a display case.
> Now, though, I haven an excuse for keeping prisoners around! Memory harvesting.
Don't forget you need a chicken nearby (Doesn't need to be in the same room) for each interrogation.
> Well, at least were not cannibals!
You know, it may be possible for your ponies to butcher and eat the blanks - it was mentioned earlier that unconverted slaves could be butchered and the parts used. I can't be held responsible if this is the case, however.
> Hey, would it be possible for you to be able to hire talon mercs?
In a future update, though I can't guarantee they'll be able to go toe to toe with the Steel Rangers.
> Canterlot, Ministry of Moral hub, deep down in the basement...
Hmmm...I didn't think a dose of mental trauma was part of the interrogation process, but now, I'm not so sure.
Much thanks for the feedback everyone!
