We probably have at least one of them, since we literally have like 40+ schems.

[Sir Pseudonymous]

Unfortunately, we don't have a blacklash schem. Or one for any cocoons. The full list is the first message on *c-wombat.

[Toaster]

When we get a research unit, I'll be glad to be our science nut.

[devek]

Ya, well I am currently in a corp that could afford a sim but thinks that "sims are gay". That wouldn't be a problem if the corp didn't have millions in the bank but 6, yes 6 total recipes in the HQ.

It is really kind of depressing. 17 science and 17 craft going to waste

Teaching is more useful later, when you've got the raws in other skills to teach them to high levels. Because you get some percentage of the xp they spend.

Cabinets and safes are pretty cheap, when it comes down to it. Consider investing in one. And frame packs never hurt either, though they can't store as much. You can quite often find them lying around, I have ten or so, and I've only bought one.

Yes, I'm well aware that teaching is useful, that's why I picked it during character gen because I thought tagged skills just gave you 1.00 raw to start with.  I didn't know that it was faster and easier to train those skills throughout the rest of the game.

But what, if any, use is there to having a tagged skill in teach?  Do you get a higher percentage of the XP spent?  Do you make people feel happy for having learned under your benevolent guidance?  What benefit is there to having more than 1.00 raw in teaching?


And as for cabinets, realize that "cheap" is a relative term.  I think I saw a floor safe for a little under one grand, so I should be able to get that.  It'll cut my account roughly in half, but I could certainly buy it.


There are a couple chemistry schems from the lot you picked up that I would like, however.  I don't have the resources for them as of yet, but coffee enemas and viromycin are both quite handy.  I'll check the list again later to see if there's anything else I'd like to get my hands on.

Become a manager, take all the money and join us.

The benefit to tagging it is you don't have to learn it, as it's essentially impossible to grind it to one raw. Or grind it at all, as far as I know. And the benefit to having more than one raw is to be able to teach to higher levels, though if you're brainsy enough it doesn't really matter. There's no practical benefit to having the total higher than 15 that I know of, though, and even then that only matters if you have other skills at 15 raw.

You could also gather cinder blocks and scrap wood to make shelves, though I don't know how much they hold...

Don't have viromycin, apparently. At least it's not in my main list. I do have one for nanite healers, but it's locked away in a safe deposit box for now. And coffee enemas are only really useful for characters that don't die a lot, since cancer is one of the least threatening things in a world where a month without being killed is an accomplishment.

I believe only a holder can withdraw funds. Also, what corp is that?

[Apple Master]

Ah you might be right actually.
Managers possibly can only deposit.

[beorn080]

Cinderblock bookshelves hold a ton, but can't be closed or locked. Useful for cleaning up the floor of crap, and keeping crafting supplies that you use in bulk when you get the rest of the parts, but not for securing expensive gear. Still, worth it.

As for the money thing, its however the corp is setup. Some corps let managers withdraw, some don't let the lowest level sign contracts. I've never run a corp, so I'm not sure how to work that, but I know it can be changed.

[Rakonas]

Don't really know if cinderblock shelves are really  worth it, still. I'm currently storing stuff that's worthless until I have more components in trash bags and it works fine.

[Ivefan]

Hmm. Can't one Improvise molotov with alcohol/shirt? Or do i need more than 13 in chem for that?

[Kagus]

Huh.  Just realized that Hideous Freaks are essentially serial killers...

You destress from killing people, you gain bonuses to Torture and Sneak, you can scare people (which sends you into a murderous frenzy), you're automatically hunted by the police, you gain increased senses (makes whipping, skinning, and crafting whips from skins easier), and your blood is acidic.

...wait, what?


Aside from that last bit, it's all pretty clearly a nasty sociopath.  Neato.

[Jackrabbit]

I think they're more modeled on the alien from Alien than a serial killer. They both share all the traits you described save the last one, which is unique to Alien (although I'm not sure Aliens can torture).

[Sir Pseudonymous]

Abominations might be. Don't really know about freaks though...

[Kagus]

Yeah, abominations are definitely based on the aliens of, well, Alien.  Acidic blood (from freak) and chestbursters kinda seal the deal.  Freaks just seem to be sociopaths with acidic blood.

Speaking of the undesirables, are freaks immune to the abominable radiations?  If not, things could get kinda complicated for any freak attempting to serve as a medic for the abominations...

Chuds are just badass on their own time.  Heh...  Can you imagine what it would be like to have several players with a lot of chud rep (and thus minions) ganging together to form one warband?  That would be quite a sight to see.


Anyways, today has been a good day for WOMBAT.  A very good day indeed.  Should be fun to see how everything pans out in the end, but for now we're just riding it easy like we always do.

Heh, I bet Frog never thought of WOMBAT getting as big as it is now.  Always fun to see where these things go.


EDIT:  Oh, yeah, and I survived a night spent in freezing winds while wanted by CSS on top of the W-U roof.  Long story.
