Yes, the smart thing would be to not take an armed bomb. On the other hand I never heard anyone claim NPC's where smart. Of course this was more of a gamey joke suggestion which would be funny because of the absurdity of it.

Mr. NPC hands you a mininuke(active).

[Sean Mirrsen]

Isn't it possible to disarm explosives?

(if not, then... why?)

[Sheb]

Well, you can disassemble a grenade or mininuke, essentially disarming it, yeah. You can't do that with a live grenade, but then I don't see why you should be able to.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

They are sort of designed to make that not a thing.

[Kaitol]

would it be possible to make (a)pplyng an empty container to another container transfer stuff to it? Having to physically pick up and unload a 55 gallon drum barrel every time I want to fill a canteen gets annoying.

[BigD145]

If you want to make a water tank vehicle with a spigot on it you can use that to fill your canteen.

[KA101]

What's this?!

A citizen in distress, unjustly forced to repeatedly lift a 55-gallon drum?!  This looks like a job for Advanced Inventory Man(ager)!

In latest experimentals, you can select a "receiving" container suitable for storing liquids and assign it to the container pane (default "k"; you may have to rebind your AIM keys: use "?" in the AIM to get to the rebind window).  Then bring up wherever your "sending" container--in this case, the drum--is, and select the drum as you normally would to move it.  This will transfer as much liquid as possible to the Container.

Hoping that helps.  Continue Liberally!

AIM is awesome.

I've actually modified my keybindings so that I can also craft on my numpad; I moved Craft Again to 0 and Craft to '-'. So I have my AIM, Construction, and Crafting all in one nice neat little place.

[Kaitol]

My experimental apparently does not have that feature. Would that actually be less key presses though? You'd have to go into aim, select your inventory, find the container and select it, move tabs, select the square with the drum in it and select it, then exit the screen. Every time. That seems like the same amount of work at least.

Right now I have to empty my hands, pick up the drum, unload it into the canteen, drop it, and I'm done. Actually seems like less work if anything. Its not that picking it up is a problem, it's just that three quick keypresses would be a lot less annoying.

[Gentlefish]

It's useful for filling multiple containers at once, like how the AIM is useually used for moving heaps of crap around. Super useful. Takes the same in-game time as doing it manually, but it sure helps when I can just lean on the transfer button when hauling freshly cut 2x4's from the forest to my house in a wheelbarrow.

[Kaitol]

Well yeah, its useful for bulk tasks. That's its entire design purpose.

I just want to fill my canteen quickly though.

Also picking up a 55 gallon drum full of water every time seems slightly silly.

[BigD145]

Just make a mini vehicle with a water tank and spigot. It's e > direction > key to control vehicle > key to put water in container > key of container and your hands can be full. You're doing far more than 3 keys to empty a drum. Empty hands is 3 presses. I > thing in hand > ctrl t

[Gentlefish]

Shouldn't you also be able to press i then select the item, and choose to "u"nload it from there?

[BigD145]

It does not give you access to your surroundings, only your inventory. A 55 gallon drum has to be carried in hand because its volume is huge.

Woke up to being murdered by a survivor with a 9mm. I masterfully drew my zweihander and closed the one tile gap between my bed and them. Three bullets and a speed of 40 put an end to that though.

Daughter. Of. A. Bastard.

Time to think about traps more seriously. I was still in the burning through skillbooks phase though so I neglected defenses.
