What do you guys and gals do to keep things interesting once you get past that initial survival hurdle? Seems that if you manage to survive early on and set up a base and/or a vehicle, very little can stop you, doubly so if you have fun with mutations and bionics.

[Darkmere]

Rare weapon collection, big game hunting, stockpiling nonperishable food to last for a few years. Joyriding a custom tank through the next town (and by through I mean through buildings). Customizing wherever I've picked as a base (like adding on a shop with palisade gate and roof, things like that).

Sounds like it's time for you to try the endgame stuff.

I assume that would be temples and portals.

Ok, so my current guy got really busted up.  Both arms and both legs are reduced to red ':'.  I checked the @ screen and nothing is broken or bleeding.

But I cant use bandages or first aid kits on them, those activate lists contain only head/torso.  Furthermore, my head and torso are healing when I sleep, my limbs seem to be staying trashed. 

What gives?  Broken Cyborg if thats relevant, so acid discharges, but im on a water/fruit diet and nomming vitamins every hour or so, was hoping for some recovery by now...

I had the same issue. I was in the process of crafting splints when I got trashed by a shocker hulk, so I didn't test them. Maybe you should try if they help?

[TempAcc]

A good way to keep the endgame going is having overarching goals, like, getting a complete set of CBMs, setting up a chem lab and make those rare mutagen serums so you can transcend your humanity, and all that cool stuff. After that? Pretty much just crafting really absurd things and exploring the world.

The game world doesn't have working npc factions just yet (IIRC) or really absurd endgame-ish areas yet, sooo..

Aii, I dont have the skills to make those   The survival I could probably rustle up but I dont have first aid 1.  I wonder if its an item I might find in a Hospital...

Do you mean the singular houses in the woods acting as cabins or something newly added in the patches? As far as I recall, that and the LMOE shelters equal 'hidden cabin in woods', if I'm not mistaken :O

I love that this thread is still so active. Love this roguelike like a...something really loved to go back to. ♥

There are a number of areas that are listed as forest on the map that are actually structures with stuff in them. One, I think, requires static NPCs on to even spawn, but the cabin I am talking about spawns without NPCs. I think there is a NPC quest that leads to it though.

They way you deal with totally broken limbs is splints and wait a week or two for them to start healing or brave a hospital and deal with the pain caused by the machine. I think its the stem cell thing, havent been in one for a while.

So the boxed in feeling continues. Sorta. Though a little less boxed in it seems. To my east for some reason are mi-gos, or at least one of them. We're talking all of three map tiles. And I saw it fighting a zed scientist. Which was entertaining, but at that point it was across the road from the shelter. So yeah, few day old character with a mi-go so close, I really did not feel safe. I got the feeling that the knife spear would not cut it, and used a cudgel for that +2 to hit as well as fast precise strikes with blocking, dropped my encumbrance down to something more manageable than 19, and walked up to it. I am so happy I took pain resistant. Managed to somehow out thwap it using some bushes, until it started running away, so I chased it down and finished it off.

Later on found out they were poisonous, whoops. Seems I didn't get poisoned, but I needed a day or two to recover from that fight.

So my thoughts so far are.... I might not really want to add more points to my character than the default really, unless I feel I want to take a specific mutation. Last I plyed I set myself up for 32 points instead of 8, and 8 seems... just fine honestly. I didn't even take the freebe flaws truthteller and ugly. I think in all honestly, 14 points might be what I would consider if I really wanted high power. A point spent on surivial can really go a long way towards getting you situated.

I'm getting back to the game after a couple months away. I'm not too sure how the new character creation stat system works. I know unused points on previous tabs can be used on the later ones, but am I missing something or are you only able to have 2 bonus stat points now?

[pisskop]

The devs made an optional 'multipool' point system, where you can only use points pull from

-stats
-skills
-traits

in their respective areas.


I use my older setups of 'hobo' and 'debug' which are set up using the one pool system.


tbcf, I never had an issue with the one pool system.  Or at least I never had an issue restraining myself from minmaxing.

Oh, that one. [What's supposed to spawn there? I've been to those a bunch of times with both random and static NPCs on and never found anything.]
