A homemade funnel can be made from plastic bottles with minor amount of fab skill.
Archery can be easily leveled with a 0-skill bow to start (self bow I believe)
Fab can be leveled with making different things in the craft menu. I would suggest working on a bunch of plain arrows (shafts alone can be used to level your fab skill and archery skill when fired)

[Nighthawk]

You could also scout out libraries for a book that'll teach you fabrication, but you're not guaranteed to find one, so the above method is probably better.

My God, you have 11 torso encumbrance and level 2 dodging? Is this a suicidal chef or something?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   To be fare, with the torso encumbrance once you reach 8 it no longer matters for combat cause the lower bounds is a d2 though I presume it does other things as well. Though I must assume that he is either carrying to much volume which affects your encumbrance overall or he just drops stuff when he has to fight. I have done that myself though I try to find some single tile vehicle I can pull such as a office chair or a shopping cart.

[BFEL]

I'm not carrying too much VOLUME, I'm carrying too much WEIGHT.

Anyway, the encumbrance hasn't affected my combat ability much because crossbow and guns.

This is not a melee character. At all. Though I HAVE been trying to train him with his zweihander

Also note that torso encumbrance comes from wearing two reinforced dufflebags, a reinforced backpack, a Kevlar vest AND a ceramic plated MBR. I'm armored so well zombears tickle.

   So first of all I noticed someone had posted it on the Cata forums but I figure it is worth a try posting here as well. The place to get the experimental builds on jenkins moved and the links on cataclysmdda.com is wrong. I don't know if anyone here can fix it but I figured I would mention it.

[Blaze]

The site link hasn't been updated for whatever reason; they mentioned having trouble with it.

In any case, you can get the latest Bleeding edge builds here.

This. Go into a building, smash apart every wooden thing, and just start carving arrow shafts. If you do it in the starting shelter, you can get 3-4 fabrication fairly easily.

Heh. Not in the experimental branch you won't. :evilgrin:

In other news, I'm slowly making progress with my overhaul of the recipe requirements (it can actually detect items and optional "quality" requirements now!), and I've stumbled on a neat feature in the code that I didn't think was implemented.

If you want to quickly drop a lot of items, or want to unencumber yourself for combat without going over your storage limit - you can drop a worn container along with the items you are dropping, thus removing the time-unit cost for dropping those items. The container, or containers, have to be able to fit the items you are dropping, but only those that can't fit will "spill over" and actually take extra time to drop.

So, while you can't literally drop a duffel bag full of items, like you can do with a pack in DF, you can drop a duffel bag along with items that would be in it, and the game will treat it as if you've dropped just the duffel bag.

Luckily, I have been on a construction leveling binge where I have been deconstructing lots of things from the houses around my hardware store, so I have plenty of woodstuffs with which to arrow. I think.

Ooh, that's a good feature.

I think you're a good candidate for the official Dev team at this rate Sean.
Given all the great stuff you've written, code and otherwise, you're definitely qualified.

[Tawa]

I was just watching Zombieland on TV.

Can someone help me mod in Twinkies?

On an unrelated note, anyone else spot the Rocky reference in the game?

While I did add a few things, I am far from a qualified enough programmer. I had to ask for advice on freaking pointers! And to clarify, I didn't add that drop+container feature, I just found that it was already implemented.
