Yeah that happened to me once too. is it picking them at a specific time of year?
I've finally gotten a welder installed on my electric car/van thing. found a book that brought my Mechanics up to 8 and i've got two large electric motors in it, four storage batteries, a bunch of solar panels, as well as all the kitchen stuff.
I just managed to escape an evening battle where I stayed too long and it got dark on me. thought I'd gotten most of them so hung around longer than I should have. then as I started making my way back I ran into a couple of toughs, fired the head torch up which attracted a smoker, killed that, ran out of arrows and had to resort to my unsilenced rifle, that and the coughing from the smoker attracted even more, and I was out of stamina. managed to get away somehow though, killing most of them. got in my car and drove away a bit and tended to my wounds.
I've found a medic book which should bring my med up to 5. once that's done I might look at installing some of these bionics that I've collected from the zappers, brutes and technicians.
any tips on medicating myself up for this? my stats are a boring 8 across the board, I know I can increase int by smoking. (if I chain smoke will it go up more than 1?) but I need to find a drug that'll work as painkillers that wont decrease my int. how much painkillers am I going to need? I think meth will increase int too right? I've got a bit of low grade meth, and some adderall.
Is there a list of what substances do what?
also, I made the simple flamethrower, then the small pressurized tank... only to find that the simple flamethrower takes a pressurized tank not a small pressurized tank. I don't have a non small pressurized tank in my rescipies what gives?
oh and I seem to have picked up a pet cat, however whenever it follows me into the vehicle and I try drive it seems to collide with it. it destroyed my godamn kitchen unit.
