The "/" inventory management screen is AMAZING. "Hmm, I need to sort my shelter after smashing everything inside of it. To the / screen!"

Also, the shelter is obscenely well stocked to get a person going at the start, even if nothing spawns in the basement.

Amazing what you can do with a pipe, rock, and some nails!

Have they fixed the crowbar crafting thing yet? Last I looked you could use a rock or a hammer to make a pipe into a crowbar, but not a crafted stonehammer.

I think this one was fixed a few days back. We tried to update all of the weird ones like that to allow proper tool use.

What about Movement Keys remapping?

I remapped my movement keys for ergonomic reasons, but examining, and smashing, and using items can be quite a pain.

And I'm right now completely unable to drive.

I just lost an amazing haracter cause I assumed the turrets that guard military bunkers couldn't one-shot me. Oops.

Protip: At night, their vision range is so low that you can walk through the hallway without getting shot - you can take your leisure shooting them or throwing rocks at them one at a time.  So long as you don't activate a light or step into their light, they're blind!

[Angle]

That's what I was doing. It didn't work. Pity too- That character had the shockwave bionic, and I hadn't gotten around to testing it.

I've actually been finding lots of stuff in the starting evac shelter basements lately.

Their light is the one tile radius around them, right?

2 I believe.  Maybe.  I've hit a bunker and an outpost at night, and the turrets seemed to have different ranges of light.  Bunker had 1 tile, as they couldn't see into the hallway, but outpost had 2, as they could see the fence and 1 tile beyond.

I should be safe on the gas tanks... since I've scouted 3 towns and a suburb now and not a single one has a gas station anywhere. Also it's rained for 4 days straight, so my scoutbuggy is out of juice. Time to... eh... craft?

Is there a cheap way to train rifle skills? I just snagged a railgun and I belive there was an FN-SCAR on some army corpses near my shelter, but I really don't want to burn my one box of ammo apiece on pointless skillup misses that will just degrade before I find moar booletz... (I assume there's a gun book, but there are no gun stores either).

[Jehdin]

Honestly skill rust is just too fast right now, skills start degrading mere hours after you last used them so I typically just turn it off.

[Darkmere]

I'm tempted to do so on my next play. Within 2 days of setting up an electric car I had completely forgotten how it worked and couldn't fix the solar panels. Now I have to... go cut apart other cars... to remember how solar cells work. Yes.

Duh, turrets produce light. So, yeah. It seems to be a function of if they are close to another turret or not. I'm looking at a set of 3 of them, at night, near a base by my shelter. One only produces light around itself in a 3x3 square. The others produce an extra tile of light between themselves. So.

 ###With the & representing areas of half light, the same sort you get at the outer edges of a flash lights light radius.

Edit: Confirmed this. Did a quick raid of the nearby outpost. Turrets dropped fast between heavy wooden arrows and not being able to shoot me. Came out with 300 rounds of 9mm ammo, a bunch of electronic parts, and 800 batteries, at the cost of like 5 wooden arrows wrecking themselves. Have to be heavy wooden arrows, but they're worth it.

Railguns Bionic uses the Throw skill.

With 6 in Electronics and a Vacutainer, you can make a laser that uses battery via UPS to fire, training rifle.  But again, skill rust is pretty brutal.  I turned it off.
