they took gummy vitamins out at one point until a dev crusaded her personal work
i tried to add solid shafts of ironsteel (like those from ironbar doors and guard rails  and the cemetery they didnt want to add) and it was shut down for being 'like rebar'.

rebar is so rare they force the arsonist to spawn it

re:reloaded ammo.

its significantly weaker than factory packed rounds

Oh my. Tank drone is dumb tank drone. Fired at me while holding it's barrel against a humvee in between it and me. RIP tank drone. Sad, I almost got in range to hack it.
10h to disassemble a broken tank drone. Had to do it, didn't have a flamethrower yet.

"Drone" indicates they are remote controlled, doesn't it? Maybe we should be able to hack a military mainframe and shut all of them down within a certain radius or (*gasp*) even turn them neutral towards the player. Or is that already in?

[martinuzz]

While not on that scale, it is already in in the form of a control laptop. You need to get dangerously close though to be able to hack robots, but if you succeed, it converts them to your side. Works on all kinds of stuff. Skitterbots, Secdroids, broken cyborgs, turrets (!!!), chicken walkers. OP endgame device, that laptop. Makes most of the dangers in labs and military bunkers trivial. It's only electronics level 7 and computers level 4 difficulty, which IMO is too low down the tech tree.

[Aseaheru]

I think theres also a CBM that does the same thing, and is available at game start to boot.

[martinuzz]

If you are thinking about the Remote Controller CBM, nope. That does not allow you to hack robots. That only allows you to drive RC cars and vehicles with RC controls installed.

molotov talk.  Just one of a few.

Is there any way to see through a vehicle's cameras without actually being onboard the vehicle? It seems a little bit silly that I'm not able to look through them using the control laptop.

[martinuzz]

I don't think there is.

Also. Holy mother of lolwut. Using vehicles addon mod, just found a portal generator and turned it into a cargo dimension in my vehicle.
Really? 1 million volume? Equals one thousand cargo containers? That's awesome and ridiculous at the same time. My inner hoarder is drooling uncontrollably.


Hmm I wonder if it's cold in that pocket dimension.. <stows spoilable food into cargo dimension>

[Azated]

Just make sure your engines can run it. A thousand cargo carriers can hold alot of weight

I know at least 3 that go well with weapons.
A shared 1st place for Krav Maga (bonus to cutting damage, try this with a nodachi haha) and Pentjak Silat (shines with piercing damage short blades. The amount of crits is real nice).
Then there's eskrima. Don't really like it. It gives a ton of fast, low damage attacks with knife and baton weapons. I haven't tried it with a baton yet, it might be good there. With a knife, I'd rather use Silat.

There's other styles too that allow for weapons, but most are really restricted (as in, you can only use thematic weapons)

EDIT: ooh! learned something new today. You can smash glass shards (the item). It destroys them completely. Thought (s)mash only worked on constructions.

Eskrima really shines when you have a weapon with the stun quality. Fast strikes = more stuns = less zombies swinging at you. Eskrima really is meant to be used with weapons like the cudgel.

^^ obligatory push of my patch is obligatory.  And now Im trying to use git for my own ease of use.

[martinuzz]

It confuses me. This 'rebalancing mod' is that the same as the 'vehicles addon mod'?
And has the vehicles addon mod been incorporated into the experimental builds, or do you still need to turn it on in the mod screen when genning a new world?

[Sheb]

No, this rebalancing mod is PK's attempt at making the game more challenging. I love it, but after some disagreement with the mainline devs, PK is not allowed to package it with the game anymore, because of reasons or something.
