I see.

And last I checked toilets, as of yet, aren't finite containers. The cisterns lead to an alternate universe full of scummy water.

Armor and related mutations and CBMs probably need some balancing.

Chitin armor protection is pretty insane. It seems to blow any CBM or mutation armor counterparts out of the water (poor protection with severe stat penalties), as well as making Platemail armor (tiny fraction of the weight), "hard" plastic guards (3x the protection), and metal guards (better overall) look like junk. Though I do appreciate the uniform protective values across all pieces.

It's really too easy to get Chitin before seriously venturing anywhere.

Then power armor is so overpowered, doesn't matter how rare it is, it really doesn't belong in the game with these values.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Hard" plastic guards:
15B 15C

"Metal" guards:
36B 36C

Riot&Army Helm:
32B 32C

Pretty much all "normal" armor from riot gear to army uniform (steel toed boots to helm) is all <40B/C

Kevlar:
30B 60C
Only 80% coverage
2 enc.

"Chitin" armor set:
45B 60C
Torso weighs 10 units @2 enc. for torso/legs, 1 for all other.
95% coverage

"Plate" Armor:
60B 60C
Weighs 140 units @ 5 enc.
100% coverage

Notice I can wear two sets of Chitin for better stats than platemail at the same encumberence.

Light Power Armor: 126B/C
Norm. Power Armor: 180B/C
Heavy Power Armor: 234B/C
All with 1 encumberence provided you have the CBM interface.

Right now it's:
"Plastic/Riot"<"Metal"<="Chitin"

I'm thinking some things need some stats tweaked.
"Plastic/Riot"<"Chitin"<"Metal"

Can we repair metal armor?
Actually would like to see a full set of DIY light metal armor, then at high electronics/mechanics a DIY power armor.

Then Power Armor needs a big nerf for protection (you can survive multiple landmines, grenades, etc as it is and the armor isn't even damaged. Even dynamite can't scratch it) and should probably give a significant strength boost when powered (and probably a dexterity penalty when unpowered).

Also, the reason the controls were changed for vehicles is that you can now move around in a moving vehicle without being at the controls.

Good lord. I stop playing for three months and all of a sudden this game becomes incredibly sexy.

Definitely going to donate when I can.

Do smoking cigarettes cover your scent? It doesn't seem like it by looking at the tracks. What can I do about food poisoning? I don't think these antibiotics are working..

EDIT: Maybe they did work. No more food poisoning. Seems kinda hard to get clean water. And I wonder if smoking pot makes you hungry...?

Fires are really easy to start. Books, smashed furniture, cardboard, etc. can be used to boil water to purify it. Look for jugs of ammonia and bleach to empty and fill, as they have a more convenient capacity. You'll need a pot or frying pan to boil it in, and always be sure to leave one empty container to put the clean water in. It only boils it one unit at a time, weirdly enough, so you need an empty container if there's still some dirty water left in the first container.

I think marijuana does make you hungry. A savvy survival druggy does cocaine, which'll cut down hunger.

They keep saying over on the Cataclysm forums that antibiotics are for bacterial infections only, so I'm not sure if they'll help with food poisoning. The only time I've accidentally drank unclean water, the food poisoning wore off in a little while.

I just swung at a corpse and missed twenty five times in a row with 20 dexterity. With my bare hands.

Christ this character is a goob.

Note to self, flaming eyes can't really do anything other than parasite you. If you get hit by one, you might as well walk up and smack it to death rather than wasting ammo, because it's otherwise completely helpless. I know this because I just drunken boxed one to death.

Exactly this. Antibiotics are for infected bites only. Right now the only things that will cure food poisoning is time and royal jelly.

Not that you'd want to use royal jelly for it. Pretty much you can just hole up in a quiet area, take a bit of time, vomit your guts out, and then feel better. I haven't really ever found much royal jelly, so it's too precious, in my opinion.

Have you ever looked in a beehive?

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

The best thing to do when you get bit is put disinfectant on it immediately, so you don't have to waste precious medicine on an infection.

[Aseaheru]

Cant you cauterize them?

[Mrnocamera]

Yes, but it hurts like hell.  (PAIN!  PAIN UP YOUR ASS!)
