Sure you didn't switch to KPH and not notice?

[Kaitol]

Tried using a large electric engine on my apc. Sure, it went 72 mph. For all of four maptiles before burning through 400 lbs of battery and dying in the middle of a Fema camp. I'd really prefer not to rip out the diesel motor and tank for a V12 that's less than half as fuel efficient, given that going to the next town over already takes 30 liters of diesel, but it looks like I don't have any other options. Guess I'll just have to mount some huge exterior gas tanks and scavenge more constantly.

Still says mph on the screen, but it is as if I did. Hitting the speed increase once takes me to 20 mph, twice 40 mph, three times 60 mph, etc.

And it is a bit odd that they took out the v8 engine entirely.  Don't get me wrong I like the changes to how engines work and all that, despite the bugs and it happening to drop right when I was figuring out how to make a vehicle mod.

Good news is that someone could mod one in now.  I probably could, I made a custom light engine for my 'Greiger's vehicles' mod on the cata forums after all.  But I don't recall the performance of the old v8 engines, and there are still some details I'm not 100% on.  There was a fuel rebalancing to boot that throws fuel efficiency for a loop anyway.

 Hey, what ever happened to helmet netting? It looks like it was removed from the game, but why?

Hey, what ever happened to helmet netting? It looks like it was removed from the game, but why?

Looking at old issue lists on github it seems it was determined that it would give too little storage realistically to have any storage value at all, so storage was set to 0.  And then there was another submission later just removing it entirely for being useless and confusing to newbies.

Set storage to 0 https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/13589
Removed for being useless https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/15688

Deck of cards and pack of cigarettes? You would be able to put SOMETHING there at least, even if it's like only sub 1 unit items.

[pisskop]

used to have 4 storage, thats a lot.

[Egan_BW]

I mean yeah, you're not sticking a handgun up there, but 0 storage might be a little of an overreaction.

[pisskop]

I know.  Its possible now that volume is in liters.  Make a pr for it.

In my own worlds, I spawned in hicksville, the villa I made.  I found a solar car with perfect parts and 80% charge in 2 storage batteries.  Cha-ching

 Could set it up so it works like a holster, just holding something.

[pisskop]

The problem with that is that it has to currently be a weapon or gun or ammo or be 'hookable' to all belt-type items.

I was browsing GitHub again. Am I reading the tiger style martial arts correctly, where it seems to be giving three times your perception in bashing damage up to eight times? If so, this looks like a copypaste error.

"max_stacks" : 8,
"flat_bonuses" : [["damage", "bash", "per", 3.0]]

That's the line for the on attack buff while the passive buff is this:

"flat_bonuses" : [["damage", "bash", "str", 0.8]]

Every other comparable line that adds damage based on a stat uses numbers less than 1.0.

Edit: Testing it shows that this is definitely the case.

Edit2: Also, why can't I make a jam sandwich with a butter knife? What makes my entrenching tool a better tool for this task?

Hey guys, quick question: is there a lista somewhere that relates each melee weapon with the skill it uses?
I have Piercing Weapons almost on level 4 and want to forge a Rapier, but am unsure if it really uses piercing. If its cutting, I would rather go for a longsword-type. The material, especially the forge charges, are kinda steeped to keep trial-and-error methods. Help?

Create a fresh world and character with no skills in cutting or piercing, debug a rapier/low encumberance armor and stab up some zombies.

Just how large of a sandwich are we talking about here. . .?
