How do I use the food dehydrator? It has batteries, and I'm activating it, but I just get the standard "nothing interesting" message...

I'm not sure, but I think it is used as a crafting tool. Which means you might need to get your cooking skill up somewhat.

Oh it's used from the crafting menu? That is helpful information

Also, The inactive laser turret in the graphics pack thing reminds me of portal turrets, and that makes me happy

I'm guessing the vacuum warper or whatever it's called is similar? 

also, what's the best way to get rocks? so far I'm going out into the fields and hitting big rocks with a sledge hammer, but finding them can be fairly tedious.

[Blood_Librarian]

Burn a house down, unless that changed. Go downstairs and mine some rocks. Smash some walls down I think? I know conrete walls will, but I cant remember if burnt down houses will as well.

Other then that, hit rocks.

and what's the best way to keep a brazier burning the longest?

[Kaitol]

Dump more fuel on it? Two or three boards should last a pretty long time, unless things have changed in the past year or two.

[se5a]

sometimes it'll just go out though, leaving stuff unburned.

I seem to be sick for some reason. I don't think I've eaten anything unhealthy, though the cracklings was getting a little old, I got no warning about it. (why doesn't it show up when you're cooking if stuff is getting old/gone off) and I've only been drinking good water too.
unfortunately I'm allergic to junk food, which means I've got a lot of packaged food sitting around that I can't do anything with. I'm hoping I'll find some recipes which use it for something other than junk food.

At some point, a change was made that stuff in fireplace is burning until it's totally consumed.

Either it is reverted, or it only applies to fireplace but not brazier, or you're using an old experimental, or there's water or rain, or the stuff is only partially wood( rifle, shovel, etc).

[Kaitol]

You just get sick. Although wearing something with like, over 10? environmental protection over your face completely protects you. Otherwise you will just catch a cold or the flu at random. Also yeah, for some reason they decided to make fires weird. I think adding kindling or small burnables will "upgrade" the fire to a larger flame that will be able to burn the stuff until its gone. But starting small fires on big burnables like logs or planks or sticks the small flame won't last super long. I think that's how it works. Never bothered with it much because small fires were generally enough to do what I needed.

[se5a]

Yeah, getting cooking and purifying done and having to go back and re-light the fire is a pain, I did get a whole log burning once, which burned all the way. I've found that I can use the charcoal powered smoker too, and a single log creates a decent amount of charcoal which makes it a bit easier than having the brazier, though no easy trash removal. purifying water still gets pretty tedious though, feel like you should be able to do things in batches or something. is there a more automatic way to purify water later in the game?
 
Other little UX interface things get a bit annoying over time too, like, I keep expecting to be able to hit enter on the highlighted item in a list when getting or dropping stuff to transfer that one item, but ofc it doesn't, the number of times I've (g)rabed something and wandered somewhere only to find I don't have it... a little more consistency with shift things too, i.e. I keep trying to shift E to examine, since most other shift combos are the directional equivalent of whatever, ie g vs G grab, d vs D drop, x vs X peek) might be able to change that in the keymap though, make e eat and shift E examine or something. wonder if I can shift numpad be screen movement (why doesn't the screen follow the cursor when you're aiming?)

Yeah I wondered if maybe I'd just gotten sick, wasn't sure that was a thing.

[Sheb]

You can do things in batch. Not 100% sure what's the key presses anymore (haven't played in months) but you can, and do a big jerrycan or something at once. It's also faster in IG time.

[Darkmere]

There's also powered water purifiers later IIRC. You can flush gallons at a time and store them in barrels or a vehicle tank eventually.

[teoleo]

the game now start to hard....  i can't go near house because full of grab zombie, tough zombie ecc ecc at the start of game....

[Aseaheru]

You can turn down the number of zombies if you really want to.
