Well...I need 50 in mechanics to install a swappable storage battery case.
Is that a bug or working as intended?

They actually appear right by you on the first turn when you go back up stairs?  I've never seen that happen, usually it says "X is coming up the stairs!" or something like that.

I've had monsters from the entire loaded area appear on the surface.

Go down from an entirely clear surface, come back up having seen no enemies downstairs to see turrets, shoggoth?s and migos across a 3ish map tile radius around the stairs

Just wear it out and about the house, answer the door while wearing it, take the garbage out while wearing it, go down to the mailbox to pick up the mail while wearing it.... be sure to wave at the neighbors.

Hi Neighbor!

Though looking around it looks like disposable hazmat suits are actually pretty cheap.  Though those ones don't cover the face and I imagine you'd need to get a protective mask for it to be functional as any real protection.  It looks like they only get expensive when you start talking about reusable, and radiation protection.

As always, read the customer reviews before you buy a hazmat suit.

Maybe they increased the granularity of skills now, too

Class-A HAZMAT suits start at £780, and just get higher, and the costume ones are those lame-looking Class C ones (like the soldiers wear in The Signal)

Damn. Those things are expensive O.o
What makes them cost so much? Do any of you know? Now I'm curious.

[BigD145]

Good protection costs money. The market is probably fairly small so production costs are higher per unit made.

[IcyTea31]

Quality materials and craftsmanship are expensive, and proving all the safety requirements takes money, work and time. Also, most of their buyers are industrial corporations who buy in bulk. It's really an investment to buy one of them (if you really need one), as a quality suit will last a long time and protect you well. You can get a "hazmat" suit for £50, but I wouldn't trust my life on one of those.

Also, BigD145 is a ninja.

I guess it make sense. I was thinking of them as cheap plastic/rubbery suit.

Now gas mask, on the other hand seems to be much more affordable while having the same kind of awesomeness. I'll probably buy one instead if I feel like wasting tons of money for something I'll never use.

[Graknorke]

What about a HEV suit? I imagine they're near-perfect for a Cataclysm-like environment. Physical protection, painkiller administration, radiation/heat warnings, weapon and ammunition management...

[TheBronzePickle]

Cheap hazmat suits are simply to form a barrier between you and bad things. They're basically gloves but for your body.

The expensive hazmat suits are sealed environments with their own air supply, and usually made out of much thicker, and probably stronger, material.

I found a Swat truck, and it wasn't leaking diesel. When I filled it, it started to leak.

What's wrong, how do I fix the leak?

[Rince Wind]

What is the status of the fuel tank?

[Descan]

Unless it changed, you just need to repair the fuel tank to stop it leaking.

I think it's like, yellow? Or orange that it starts leaking/may leak.

Apparently some youtuber got a warning on the Cata DDA forums for using the word "lame" in an allegedly offensive manner, while in the past, I have not gotten such warnings for actually swearing. I would link, but I'm on mobile because my laptop seems to be dead.

Wait, is "lame" really considered a swear word? Some people really get offended by the most ridiculous things. -_-
The way I see it, lame is just an adjective, nothing wrong with it. But then again, I don't know the context.
