How do storage batteries work?  can they be charged by an alternator?  doe they need to be on the same tile as a solar panel to charge?  do chargers charge the nearest battery first or all equally?

An rv has a battery by a minifridge.  is that battery charginf when I turm on the engine?

I think Mines need to be retouched a tad. They are incredibly easy, as there are only two threats in them until the finale. And of those, only one is a danger as soon as you see it.

That's because the true danger in mines is them generating in such a way that you go down some stairs and then there are no stairs for you to go back up ;) Unless that bug's been fixed.

But yeah, mines are too easy. I'd even go so far as to say that the only really dangerous thing that can happen in them is the terminal and fault-line finale.

Even that's not that bad. Honestly, I farmed the critters who spawned from there for a solid half-hour or so with Rapier + full Light Power armour getup a few versions ago. I haven't gotten there in quite a while, but the endgame stuff probably needs more bits in it. More eldritch stuff is something I approve of and the stuff you can do with the Fungal mutation path seems like its a bound in the right direction. I remember someone[Possibly GlyphGryph?] saying something to the following effect:

There are four main stages to the game:

1: Struggling. You run from problems, scavenge what you can and barely survive.

2: Planning. You organize trips into town for things for specific projects and take one even some of the nastier special zeds head on.

3: Changing. You start changing yourself and your immediate environment by mutations/bionics and by doing stuff like clearing the city you start in or establishing a heavily fortified steel deathmobile.

4: Ascendent. You start changing the game world, like by destroying/spreading fungal blooms or using nuclear weapons on slime pits.

Right now, stage 4 feels the most unfinished because there's an additional layer of interaction which is currently only vaguely there. Presumably as the faction/NPC stuff people are currently working on intensifies, stage 4 will become more fun.

NPC companions are a little bit strange. I just lost a relatively fresh character to a group of three zombies in an extended melee where they had me restrained but had trouble dealing damage through my armor. I had an NPC comrade, armed with a machete, but she just stood there and watched me slowly get pulled apart. I yelled at her a few times, and tried changing her engagement rules, but nothing I did could convince her to do anything but munch popcorn. Maybe she was mad that I took her shotgun, hehe.


Edit: I used debug mode to spawn her in, for what it's worth. There are NPC's in this game, but they are all dead.

Like easily removable batteries, yes, I think so, all equally, and if it has an alternator.

Atleast, I think those are the answers to those questions.

Just a minor correction, but I don't think they need to be on the same tile.  Batteries will charge as long as they're in the same vehicle, or more generally in any vehicle connected to a power source (thus far, the only such way would be a vehicle connected via jumper cables to another vehicle).  My latest mobile base has swappable batteries along the sides and solar power along the center of the roof, and my stationary base has a massive network of jumper cables that network various workshops (each with its own standalone battery as a fallback) or standing lamps that ultimately tie to a large solar array out back.  None of them seem to have issues with charging.

Batteries will indeed charge anywhere on the vehicle. That's why you can have lots of solar panels but one battery,

 Well, theres one of the reasons why I only thought so. Wasent totally positive that the swapping batteries worked the same ways as normal ones.

I recently tried to get into Cataclysm, but the version I downloaded had squares instead of letters, so I could not understand a thing. I suspect I might've been stumbled on defunct site, but this was a weird glitch. Does game have troubles with Windows 8 or multi-language system?

Cool, but wouldn't this likely lead to tongues having a '[SPEACH]' tag, and thus via necromancy we would have nearly unkillable reanimated tongues following necromancers spamming 'it is sad but not unexpected'?

you can turn off tilesets in the options menu.  I know the stable release has no issues.

Easier said then done. I think it's a font issue

You guessed right. I also guessed this, but I can't find solution easily.
