Yeah, I noticed the level thing myself - which is why I've made it policy not to power level off tribbles till I reach robot town (and thus have access to gear somewhat on par with my level).

Is the stat loss from radiation permanent?

God I can't believe this character is even alive right now... 8 freaking levels danger-blind...

Radiation is permanent, as far as I know.

Actually you just need a lot of health, a radiation processor, or a purifier thing to get rid of radiation.

Well health is just for surviving.

And I just realized why optic blast is awesome.

Yes, pulse rifles and power armor along with ammo is exactly what the marines drop. Power armor is worth decent coin, plus giving you a bit more carrying capacity.

The only reason I even attempted to power level on tribbles this time around was because I started as a space marine, since I haven't seen a pulse rifle any other way. Finding a tissue regenerator early on was quite helpful.

Stupid death story time: The very first character I made in this game, who was named Cyrix Redshirt because I didn't expect him to last very long, died trying to kick a door down. I didn't realize that it was doing damage with every kick, until it was too late. Whoops.

I know you can get rid of radiation with a purifier( or proccessor, or lucky barrel, yay me), but it doesn't undo the CON damage. Is there a way to undo that, or is it too little too late?

What the hell is universal solvent?

And I can't tell you how many characters I lost from drinking canisters.

I bet the solvent can get you out of a sticky situation hur hur! Seriously though, it is probably the opposite of super glue, for what its worth.

Is there any way I can acid-proof my gear, or at least remove corrosion? Oh, and I went down some rabbit hole, and now I'm too afraid to attack, or zap or anything. Quite annoying. Nothing I have notes on so far is jumping out at me as being particularly useful, and I haven't found a holy hand grenade.

holy hand grenade.
Armaments, chapter two, verses nine to twenty-one.

SECOND BROTHER:
And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu--

MAYNARD:
Skip a bit, Brother.

SECOND BROTHER:
And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Shocking yourself with things can kill the alien embryos. I just did it by (q)uaffing from a vat a few times and then randomly trying out my canisters.

I would guess a chemical which can form a solution with almost anything. In other words: Touching it makes you melt.

Drink/Apply it on yourself to remove super glue, in case you try to drink a canister of super glue.
Apply it on the floor to erase glue traps, oil, etc.

Super glue will eventually come off though, but it takes a LONG time.

Tried running in VirtualBox with DamnSmallLinux but it was missing stuff. Gonna try with Ubuntu in the same today @@ Hopefully those Windows Binaries are sooner rather than later! :P

Dev, if you're reading this, consider trying VirtualBox, I'm sure you can *cough* Find an iso to use for testing and development of windows :P

Woot! I escaped with the Orgazmotron! There wasn't much doubt about this run for me, that early tribble room made him a juggernaut. Next time though, I will try with something other than a space marine. A guaranteed pulse rifle is quite useful, but probably not necessary.
