To me it would be a huge exercise in frustration, trying to abuse a game in a mode that it's not designed for.  A lot of your work would be lost over and over as I assume whoever saves last overwrites anything else except probably your character and what he's actually carrying.

But then I like to start new worlds with each character, so there's no possibility I'll run across an old char's gear or looted area.

It works fairly well if you play on the same server where the map stays in sync for the most part, if you played with some kind of time gap between "turns" though, the game world could radically change around you between turns.

So is there any way to remove the spent casings from a revolver if you don't have any ammo of that type left? It's kind of hard to make more when you're short by exactly the number of casings that have been inexplicably fused to the chambers.

*opens door, shocker brute*

*activates adrenaline pump to prepare for a quick escape*

*stats all immediately turn red and speed goes down by ten because instant adrenaline comedown*

Unless this was fixed today, somebody has some splainin' to do.

Unload doesn't work?

Nothing I've tried has worked. Unload, reload, melting the thing in a pool of acid with debug, burning it, running it over with a road roller.

I'm guessing it's just an oversight from when they changed the way that revolvers eject casings.

Shift+U for an object you're holding, or the (U)nload option in inventory removes as many charges as possible from an object. Charges can be ammunition, batteries, liquids, or anything, really, that can be contained inside another object.

The problem is that there's nothing contained. The ammo is gone, and the revolver has a special function that ejects the spent casing only when a new round is loaded.

I just tried, there indeed doesn't seem to be a way to extract spent casings from a revolver, whether by Unloading, Activating, or whatever other means except Reloading when there is more ammo to be loaded. With no more ammo, the spent casings are stuck in the gun.

Code it and put it on the repo. I'd like to have that fixed.

"Fix" it with Debug Menu - 1 Wish for Item  x number of empty casings, do your reloading, now you reload the gun and get the original casings, discard the spare number of casings somewhere.   Or keep them if you think this will happen again.  Debug Menu is to fix stuff just like this...

If I weren't on such a limited data plan right now, I just might have. It sounds like a relatively simple fix, in principle, the revolvers just need a special clause to the Unload action, so that any spent casings are ejected regardless of whether there is any ammo.

How many days do I have to run around with my armsplint, before my arm starts getting better? I'd rather wait for that before I do the next mission.

[gimlet]

Somewhere between a couple of days and a couple of weeks - it's pretty variable...

[Kaitol]

Is bionic night vision intended to not allow crafting? Just tried washing a towel at night, but I use implanted night vision instead of a flashlight.

Maybe make a SIMPLE tag for crafting recipes for grossly easy stuff that you could even manage in pitch black? I mean, I'm pretty sure even a blind person could manage rinsing a towel off in a pool.

Also, are Shocker brutes supposed to be able to slam you when they're four tiles away? Are they charge tackling you or something?

[gimlet]

Brutes can move pretty fast, 4 tiles is pretty far though unless you were doing something really slow.  Or if it shocked you first...
