I also think that there should be on the roads can find complete vehicles, maybe two or three who have made an accident, fire, or perhaps with some remote possibilitaà to find one healthy can work

Broken down vehicles were added today.  Some are out of gas, some are missing their wheels, some have broken engines.  You can't really drive in town anymore since the streets are littered with those wrecks.  They are a bit rarer outside of town.

That's cool, I've been wishing for that since Whales first adopted the car mod.

Is there any way to get gas out of filled cars, though? I've been thinking about that too. It would definitely be useful.

[Kaitol]

I dunno. You could try applying a rubber hose to a car, but it probably won't do anything. But you never know till you try.

Not at the moment, but it's on the list of suggested things to do (most likely through the use of a rubber hose).

Mounted turrets are useless. They shoot into your car often, ripping up all the windshields and (if you're lucky) plating you installed just to kill a squirrell or something.

[Sharp]

All turrets in cata are pretty damn stupid having no other concern then shooting at the closest hostile target regardless of what is in between, you need to make sure mounted turrets are placed so they can't shoot at you/your car parts which can be achieved by using boards to block turret vision.

[Greiger]

Yea well placed they can speed up the clearing of a town via vehicular mansuaghter significantly.  Badly placed they can wreck your shit.

Also don't just leave the things on and forget about them.  My most recent car had 2 plasma guns where the 2 back boards on a flatbed truck used to be.  I would turn them on right before I drive into a horde, and turn them off right after.  That way they are spending almost all their time shooting stuff at near minimum range, taking out the stuff I managed to miss, not really getting the chance to waste a lot of ammo (or in that case hydrogen) on long shots, they can't see me in the drivers seat most of the time to accidentally blast me, and on the edge of the truck they don't have any parts of the truck to accidentally hit in the direction they should be firing.

turrets generally are a pain the back end, what we need are perhaps multispread turrets, or single direction targets ie variable fields of fire.  45 degrees, 90 degrees and so forth.  Few suggestions along with a HP buff for all the enemies as an option to create a "extra hard mode"

I heartily agree.

i have found one hostile NPC... but the npc have infinite ammo??

[Greiger]

I don't think they do.  But they sometimes seem to spawn with an extra pack of ammo for their weapon, so it might take awhile to run out.

I did once see an NPC with infinite combat knives, but that was clearly a bug, and hilarious as they Brock @&%!$*@ Samson'd their way through a horde I lured to them.  Knives everywhere.

[CognitiveDissonance]

A bit late to the party but... Peek?! What is this wizardry? Does it work by casting your vision from the tile around the corner, so you can see what you would have seen, but without having had to move to the tile? (Thus saving the 2 moves, as mentioned above)

Zombies CAN actually spot you, but you have to be closer to them. This is literally barely peeking out, which makes you a lot less conspicuous to a passive observer. Try it sometime IRL

Does the item you use for consturction affect the time it takes to do it?

Also, what was it that happened to me in this-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I had some spasms while starting construction of my safehouse.  Once I start vomiting a grey goo, I immidiatly grabbed by IDs from the evac shelter and started down the road for a science lab.  I didn't find one, but eventually I found a missile silo, with a military patrol (sadly, no military IDs) and a science patrol.  I continued north, despairing that I would die, when I came upon a thing of Royal Jelly with booby traps.  I took that, so now I'm fine.  I haven't been poisened by anything as far as I know of, or run into fungaloids or anything.

In case you missed it earlier, there is a certain creature out in the world which can inflict this along with other nasty things. Watch out for... abnormalities

How do you stop reading?

As this wasn't answerred, you press 5 on numpad, or your preferred key for "wait/target ground"

I just think it might be useful to know how much noise I'm doing ...

That is already represented in the game, from what I can see. Anything that creates more sound than regular walking generates a message, such as BLAM! Plink. and SMASH!

The next thing I think I'll work on after my in-progress Hat Package, is a Mycology Package: more different kinds of mushrooms, a book where you can learn the difference and possibly new mushrooms identifiable at different survival and cooking skill levels.

I actually know quite a bit about mushrooms and essentially mushrooms fall into the following categories, roughly from most prevalent to least prevalent: disgusting harmless mushrooms, flavourless harmless mushroom, mushrooms that will give you indigestion, tasty mushrooms that will give you indigestion, harmless tasty mushrooms, mushrooms that are spicy and will make you throw up, mushrooms that are psychoactive that will make you throw up, seriously poisonous mushrooms, mushrooms that are psychoactive but otherwise harmless, mushrooms that will kill you within a week.

DO WANT! That would be awesome, and really add to the feel of survival in the wild

Really? That's amazing! I was wishing for this, and haven't seen the latest compile. OOohh can't wait for 0.5


Lastly on turrets... it makes sense that they are deadly when installed wrong. In the modern world, we don't really have a good FOF identifier, so a modern turret would in fact shoot at anything. So it's up to the player to install them in a safe location, which goes along with many other "safety" features of the game - like purifying water and controlling fires (using braziers/concrete/proper stoves). I'm on the other side of the fence - in OTHER games, it bothers me when a turret DOESN'T hit me when I place it in a stupid place.

exist a key for drop all the items??

[i2amroy]

If you are in the latest version you can just use the advanced inventory management (/) and then mash the (m) key to drop everything that you aren't wearing or wielding into the tile you are standing on.
