Explosions. Is there any problem they can't solve?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

The Weather?

[Orange Wizard]

Get a bigger explosion? I guess?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

I think by the lore all bigger explosions did was make the portals spew the acid rain stuff out.

[Greiger]

Obviously they did not go big enough.  Theoretically they could go big enough that there is no atmosphere (or planet) to barf acid rain all over.

It's kinda like that magma solves everything deal.  With enough magma you don't have any sentient creatures left to worry about the problem.

On the subject of rain, why do we have to find bottled water or boil toilet water? It's pouring outside every single day.

[Gentlefish]

That's what funnels are for.

...How does one extract the acid from water these days? Is that possible anymore?

[Darkmere]

Acid from water requires a chemistry textbook for the recipe and moderately high cooking? I think.

But he has to steal it. I didn't get to find out, since I blew him away the second I realized he was taking things from my inventory, but I don't know if they have some kind of priority, or how much they take, or if it's completely random. He grabbed one of the guns that I was hauling around in my bags first, and while I did have a stick of dynamite, I'd rather not risk lighting that thing and praying he takes it from me, and then praying I can run far enough to not die as well.

I don't know the fuse on dynamite, but assuming we have something with a long enough fuse, don't items get damaged in an explosion? What if they take it last, and the explosion's big enough to destroy all your stuff. Since if you're carrying guns, you're probably also carrying ammo. Possibly a lot of it. Could be interesting to find out if they would let you light an explosive in front of them, and then steal it from you though. But, I think using explosives is riskier than using a high-caliber gun.

More to the point, you can hear a lit/primed explosive if it's in your inventory.  So NPCs mugging you should make a point not to steal them.

Just to be obstinate at this point I will point out that micro meteorite storms are worse then acid rain 

@KA101
Yes, the smart thing would be to not take an armed bomb. On the other hand I never heard anyone claim NPC's where smart. Of course this was more of a gamey joke suggestion which would be funny because of the absurdity of it.

So does anyone else get these?

If so, is there a way to fix it?

[Orange Wizard]

Try running a different render-mode-thingy? I use the terminal version and have never seen anything like that.

I get them sometimes. Not sure what causes them, but I didn't start seeing them until I changed my system locale. Possibly has something to do with that?

Your text looks like it's going off one side of the screen and screwing with the other. In other news, I can't seem to gt cata to run on my laptop. it says I' missing liblua5.1, despite me installing it.

Turns out it was, I allowed the terminal to be 5...bits wider, and now the things are on the far right, which doesn't mess with anything.
