Well that was a promising character lost. I visited the town with the cucumber vine and looked at the hunter-merchant in the middle.

Does he just not like being looked at or something? Because he then tried to kill me. It wasn't a problem until I took a shot at him near the cucumber, but... well-- I should've just ran after that, but I had the genius idea to check if he was still going nuts after I killed the hunter.

Is there any trick for inventory management? I find myself carrying around like, 60lb of water since I don't know of any other form of wealth.

Buy things like nuggets and bracelets if you don't want to carry a ton of water around.

How many towns are there currently? 3?
Also, is there any surefire way to get constant source of food without any of the 2 foodmaking skills?

Eating corpses works fairly well, but if you want to be able to travel about the map you need one of the 2 skills.

I still run constantly short while having both of them. (At the first rank admittedly.)

...Taking Evil Twin seemed like such a good idea until I actually MET one. So I tried to run. And whaddaya know... the NEXT map spawned one too. It didn't end well. And darn it, I was on my way back from Golgatha.

@Aoi: Same for me...it's weird..water is supposed to be rare commodity, but it's much easier to obtain water than food..
Also, is it possible to use the chests in Joppa for storage?.

I never have any problems with food, even if I have ravenous.

Just take the first butchery skill, and hunt some pigs. And conserve food by eating every corpse you find.

Well, it's mostly a problem when I map travel. On foot, it's easy.

How do you guys like starting out? The only character I've gotten any distance in [L15] was a gunslinger who killed 90% of things with freezing hands. Had a promising start with another guy that burned things up, but he ran into a unique and accidentally steamed himself to death.

Could choose the photosynthesis mutation. It is pretty expensive in terms of mutation points, but once you get it to about rank 4 or 5, you can generally handle diving deep underground before you have to come back up for energy.

If you are a mental mutant and get Cyrokenisis, your twin is super easy to deal with, as you can freeze him, and even while you are frozen you can still take some actions (eg. psychically blasting him, stunning force, laser beams, pretty sure you can heal as well), but if he is frozen he can't do anything at all.

I had the frozen hands ability. Unfortunately, I froze him and ran [out of ammo, and that was pretty much my only attack]. And when I ran ANOTHER one appeared, sooooo... yeah.

In other news: What's a good way to dig if you don't have the claws mutation? The stairs are blocked in Red Rock. ><
