Also, will a coilgun draw energy from your bionics?

If no, can that be included?

[Aseaheru]

Might be nice to have some bionic that allows it to act as a UPS.

Do any of you have really nice houses/complexes you'd like to show off? I need ideas for my soon-to-be base.

There's a method to link your bionics to powered armor, but I don't think it works for anything else that wants a UPS, unfortunately.

I'm diving through a lab right this moment, but I can show off my WARBUS when I get back to it.

EDIT: Made it out, didn't get all the way down but looted a few batteries mostly.  MiGos are FUN!

Currently incomplete due to lack of batteries and integrated toolset.

Where are the turrets? It's nice to put turrets in the back with boards blocking so they only have a 90 degree arc each. I myself don't really use them to kill monsters but to make sure that it's safe to disembark as I really don't have a lot of vision when im driving

[Girlinhat]

Turrets are tricky.  You can't just use any old gun, so I've been looking for flamethrowers (gasoline is infinite!) to mount on the sides and rear.  Probably end up with 2 on each side and 1 in the rear, just to spray fire EVERYWHERE.  Might have to convert to electric engines then, or just mount my 3rd engine as a Large Electric so it'll run as emergency backup engine.

Gas pumps can run dry, last I heard.

Not a big deal, really.  The whole point of the WARBUS is being mobile.  I can move to another town and loot the gas stations and hardware stores of their gasoline, and run electric when the gas is low.

I spawned with that bionic, and and found some power armor.

And light power, seems kinda of shitty.

There's no reason not to try, unless the clothing is damaged.  If it's damaged, you'll try to repair it and possibly make it worse.  If it's not, you can activate your sewing kit and select the article of clothing.  It will simply say "You practice sewing", and use 1 thread.  Keep doing it, and you'll train your sewing until the rng decides you succeed at fitting/reinforcing the article.

Indeed. Both thread and rags are very easy to come by. I use Sinew instead of thread actually, butchered from wolves and such.

Thread is incredibly easy to get. Each window gives you 300? thread each, if you disassemble the 3ft string down to thread.

[MrWiggles]

Can you reenforce Kevlar vest?

This is amazing.

You made it from a schoolbus, right?

[Girlinhat]

From scratch.  I pulled a working motorbike over to a car with no engine (NOT a "Car Chassis").  I ripped the car apart, and started a new construction using the center column of frames first, and mounted the motorcycle engine so I could drive it over to the next wrecked car and strip its shell out, find engines, etc.  Things like engines and steel plating have been FAR too heavy for me to carry, so I'd have to drive to them, park, and assemble on the spot.

Raided a military bunker and the turrets handed over some 700 batteries, as well as my skills enabling me to make batteries from acid.  With luck I'll be doing a LOT more welding soon and expanding on this.  In particular I want to get some Hard Plating mounted on the front, so I can smash through whole buildings without stopping.

I had the same problem with carry weight but instead of doing a rolling assembly, I found a mostly-working flatbed truck and gased it up from the wrecks. I drove it, parked in central spots, and leapfrogged entire cars' worth of frames, seats, engines, batteries into the truck bed.

the / inventory menu lets you instantly move stuff from one side of you to the other, so moving a car's worth of scrap into a truckbed takes like 15 minutes, game-time, tops. I've been using the parts to build a solar-powered 4-wheeler to scout and carry scrap. If I find a Public Works building, I'm SO going to move in and take over their garage.

[Girlinhat]

Yeah, I recently realized the / menu can move items into a vehicle's containers, which is SO useful for those massive engines and plates you otherwise can't move.

Although hilariously unrealistic, I plan to have a rear rack holding a few parts, namely a "box" that contains 2 frames, 2 bicycle tires, a saddle, and a set of controls.  For 300 battery (or even better, integrated toolset) you can make a bicycle with a trunk space, which can somehow haul V8 engines.
