GlyphGryph, you scared the shit out of me. Bad griffon. Bad.

[NobodyPro]

Trust Activision-Blizzard's legal team to send a prank-and-desist at 6 AM.

[Tomcost]

Actually, I think that Blizzard got evil when it was bought by Activision.

They're known as activision-blizzard. Total tip off right there.

Activision Blizzard is the holding company. I researched it, it is apparently Blizzard themselves who send out their C&Ds most of the time! I didn't find any from Activision-Blizzard.

Ok, so I need a few things answered.

Specifically: What do I need to craft crossbow bolts (skill levels/book wise) and what do I need to take advantage of a rechargeable battery mod (other items wise)?

Kinda running out of those things. And sorta running out of bullets. But that's hopefully a bit of a ways off, seeing as I have relocated to a hardware store in the middle of a cleared town, zombears are a thing, and melee skill to use my zweihander is not a thing.

For crossbow bolts you need... fabrication and archery? I think that's all it takes, really. One level of both for the wooden bolt, three levels for metal. The rechargeable battery mod will need a recharging station to (re)use, which can be learned from an electronics handbook and some others at anything from 4 to 6 fabrication skill, and takes... uh, I forget, I think 3 mechanics to install? And of course a charged battery in the vehicle it's mounted to.

Rechargeable batteries need a recharging station. Look in the crafting menu under other, parts if you can craft a recharging station if you can then make one and attach it to a vehicle container(a car trunk or something like that) and turn it on using controls. The vehicle you have attached the recharging station to will need to have  electricity obviously.

For crossbow bolts you need archery skill.

Zweihanders in my opinion are weapons for the extremely strong and something with better moves per attack and to-hit bonus would probably be more efficient.

[Girlinhat]

You can also find recharging stations in public works, at times.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   So I figured out something that would be useful. As it is there is the option to auto drop containers. I never use it because some containers (not just watertight ones) are useful for other stuff. How about instead you have a thing similar to the auto pickup? That way you can select what you want to drop.

[BFEL]

Well shit. Since crossbows use the handguns skill instead of the archery skill I have no levels in archery.

And I have nowhere near what it takes to make a recharging station. Fuck.

So with the recharging station, can you just make a vehicle frame outside, put a solar panel on it and a trunk with the recharging station and use it as a generator? Or would you also need an electric car battery?

I moved into this hardware store because it has a "recycler" outside, btw, which takes any metal clutter and changes it into metal scrap/sheet metal/otherwise useable for crafting metal.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yeah, crossbow bolts should really be changed to just use fabrication.

You're going to need a two-tile frame, I think. One with the recharge station and a battery, another with a solar panel or gasoline engine with alternator (and a battery). If the solar panel can be mounted on the same tile as the station, then you'll just need one tile. But you do need a battery - the solar panel provides energy regeneration, but you'll need storage too.

[BFEL]

Well that is now a long term goal, because I just don't have the resources/skill to make all that right now. Its sad because I have 2 UPS's and a laser pistol and really not enough batteries to make use of that.

New question: What do you need to collect acid rain? I heard someone say something about a funnel and jug, but I am unsure of this.

[pisskop]

Acid drizzle, empty bottle, funnel.  refine at fire w/pan and put into container.  Bonus points for making it glass and throwing it at baddies

[BFEL]

Well now I just need to figure out where the hell to get a funnel and I can start jury rigging up batteries.

Maybe.

EDIT: So out of curiosity, I checked my skills and such. The results are...interesting...

Looks like my biggest problem is gonna be fabrication. How the hell do I level that?
