Wear a face mask and brazier smoke shouldn't be as big a problem. Just camp in a house and use one room for cooking. Close the door. This is only if you don't want to collect rocks all day and you happen across a brazier early on.

Eh, got the rocks for the fireplace now, so shouldn't be a problem.
Reason I'm doing this is its been raining near constantly since the game started, making it hard to cook stuff efficiently (light fire, cook one meat, light fire again)

[BigD145]

Last I checked basements won't burn down, so you can use them for both open fire cooking and food storage to some degree.

[FArgHalfnr]

Thanks for your answers guys!
I remember I tried a brazier once and ended up smoking up the shelter, so wanted to be sure that wouldn't happen this time.

Does the fireplace also make light? Or will I have to be silly and put it next to my computer terminal?
Also, what do I need to make the stone shovel? Digging is the thing I don't have right now

If there is a fast food restaurant nearby you could also grab their wood stove. Church also usually have braziers.

And yes they should make light.

For reasons that should be painfully obvious, I'd really like to update my current LP series to use the new version, but before I do, I don't suppose anyone happens to know if there are any save comparability issues?

Last time I updated in the middle of a series, the basement I was in became a tomb, as all the stairs turned to windows xD

[pisskop]

I used a 0.b save in the new one just fine.  The changes were fine.

[BigD145]

.c is .b and .a compatible. Barring a couple builds, experimentals have been save compatible for the past 1000+ releases. It's not that hard to copy your Cata folder and throw an experimental on top with ZERO lasting repercussions. Stop treating data on your computer like it's holy. Live a little. Take control.

Cata makes thing so easy. You just download the latest build and copy on top of an existing ongoing game. Overwrite everything and start up the game. DONE.

[Aavak]

Utterly fantastic news

I was fairly confident from what people have said, that they would be save compatible, but for the sake of waiting to get an answer first, it seemed silly to risk a good character and a 30-odd episode LP on rushing in and updating out of excitement xD

Cheers for the help all

[i2amroy]

Officialy we support at least the previous stable's save files, though in reality we tend to support a fair bit further back then that. (And even if you can't update directly you should almost certainly be able to "walk" it up through stable's to the current version).

out 0.c stable? the site don't report it in the news....

We're having some problems with that, check the announcements board on the forum to get the download links.

I think you need 2 rocks (one as a hammering tool), a 2x4 or a heavy stick, and some thread/sinews or something like that.

Well thanks to you guys help I now have a smexy fireplace where that broken console was in the shelter. MUCH BROTH ENSUED.

So I'm at 7 construction (started with it that high), 5 tailoring, 3 mechanics, plus rifles and marksman are both about to level to 3. I'm doing very well in this playthrough :3

What level do you get the survivor recipes? I'm currently in about 12 layers of reinforced...everything and am waiting for those to become available before I start paring it down to something reasonable. I have 17 torso encumbrance, PLEASE HALP

From the Hitler clone discussion:

Out of curiosity, what was his stats?

I made him a krav maga artist with the groom profession as I usually do. I didn't put much thought into this.

In response, I decided that if you were going to clone Hitler, then you should do it right.
Gentleman... BEHOLD!

THEY CLONED HITLER!
A Mod by Fniff

A team of rogue mad scientists have done the impossible, the unthinkable, the impractical. They cloned Hitler! And also caused the end of the world, but that's relatively uninteresting. Adolf Hitler now must fight to survive in a hellish abandoned lab filled to the brim with eldritch horrors, the undead, and turrets. But once he ascends to the surface... HIS EMPIRE WILL BEGIN AGAIN!
Warning: In All Likelyhood, Adolf Hitler Will Most Likely Starve To Death Or Get Shot To Bits By Turrets _{Or Cut Like A Lunch Meat By Manhacks Or Any Number of Terrible Things Or}Instead Of Actually Ascending To The Surface, And Even Then Trying To Start a Fourth Reich with Cataclysm NPCs is Like Trying To Make A Tower out of Soup

Coming Soon!

THEY CLONED HITLER!: AND ALSO STALIN!

Add this to professions. If you want Hitler to show up, remember to also add the profession to the Lab start in scenarios, or just get rid of the [SCEN_ONLY] flag so he can show up anywhere.

Survivor stuff you need 6-8 in tailoring and/or fabrication.

Gonna try it as soon as I have spare time, which is probably not today. I'll try to make him a superior being with the alpha branch.
