But barbarianism is more fun!

And it's faster.

This is the bit in the disaster movie where you fully let yourself go into an uncivilised but efficient wreck while I try to cling onto the last strings of what world was left behind with books and cultural things, and one of us will be right depending on how the plot ends up. Either everyone's screwed and you're right, or we get saved and I'm right.

Where the hell can I find the tools I need to create an electric forge?

I know where to get the materials, but like... the wrench? Where get.

[n9103]

Still that thing tore into my head and all but killed me, and this is after I lured it upstairs for the guy with the crossbow to shoot at. It killed him in literally one hit.

Seems you pissed off the RNG pretty well recently then :p

You can find wrenches anywhere that has anything to do with cars. Garages and hardware stores are a good bet. Personally, though, I found the metalworking chisel to be the toughest tool to find. The only source I can find them from is a very rare drop from zombies, so I usually have to make my own. I mean, you'd think you'd be able to find a chisel in a hardware store, but nope.

[Descan]

Yeah... I guess it's less circular than it seems, because you can use a charcoal forge, but it still seems a bit odd that you need a forge to create a tool you need to create a forge. At least you don't need the chisel to make a charcoal forge!

Edit: Now that I'm thinking on it more, it makes more sense to me. Building on the work previously, upgrading and such. Okay!

Real life often has circular things like that. For example if you wanted to forge a hammer head in real life you would need a hammer to make one.

A lot of Cataclysm seems to be going from medieval-ish levels of production capacity to modern ones in a way. Course the hardest things to make are medieval era swords so fuck if I know XD

[Darkmere]

Medieval metalworking was pretty advanced. We still can't figure out how to forge steel pure enough and light enough to match gaelic relics from centuries ago. People have never been utterly stupid, we just learn how to make more efficient tools as the centuries go by.

What we have managed to do, however, is reproduce the level of quality we do make extremely accurately. Compared to medieval levels of technology where the metal in swords might range all of the way from nearly cast iron to spring steel.

[Descan]

And mass-manufacturing of the quality we can make.

I think there is a bug with the vehicle welding rig recipe. I have a welder with 100 charges and 2 makeshift welders, but the recipe has the "either one welder or 2 makeshift welders" part browned out. Brown means that I need the same item for the tool and the component but there aren't enough for both, but I have enough. Anyone know a workaround for this? Because I need this welder.

On a side note, is it possible for me to weld an entire welding rig on casters to a car? Or do I have to disassemble it and reassemble it?

[Darkmere]

I had the same bug in a nightly version from about a week ago. You can try making/getting an extra welder of either type, or editing the recipes.json file to only require one specific type to make and the other type to craft into the rig (this didn't work for me but apparently did for some) or try copying your save and settings into a more recent version (this did work for me).

A welding rig on a frame and casters IS a vehicle and you can't directly attach 2 vehicles. You'll have to cut the welding rig off and install it into the car by itself.

I had this issue as well.

Also, RNG what the hell did I do to you? Last new game the evac shelter spawned inside the city, and the fucking NPC I spawned with had a GODDAMN FLAMETHROWER. These things combined to make for a very fast death.

WAT

[Micro102]

Wtf is that building? I'm guessing out of the blue that it's a prison.

Also, don't be too upset about a small town, the upside to it is that it is easier to clear out completely, making for a very safe area.
