Stupid wolves have killed my last 2 characters. DON'T get stranded in a field with them or you're toast, especially if you don't have a gun. I tried to avoid them by hiding in one of those houses in the middle of the woods, I had plenty of food so I stayed there for a little while. You could see the fuckers just pacing around outside the window waiting for me to open the door.... I think I spent 3 days there before I needed to get food, fortunately I brought a lot of plastic bottles filled with gasoline and I practically hoard rags for just such an occasion. I crafted some molotovs and lured the bastards in through the front door, chucked a molotov and ran out the back window. Wolves in this game are worse than zombies if you don't have a gun.

I once had an amazing spawn.  Like, got my evac shelter 2 tiles away from a parking lot, hardware store, and a lab with the doors wide open and bionics spilling out.  And then oh fuck wolves.  Two steps out of the shelter and there's like 5 of them.

I punched them all to death.

Wolves aren't bad if you know how to kite them.

I think i have a *slight* suggestion.
AFAIK, schizophrenzic is the wrong name for the trait (and i spelled it wrong there), it should be bipolar.
Schizophrenzic would be that you get extremely frustrated when you dont do certain "rituals", bipolar is the mental disease with mood swings.
Tough you may need to change the medicine's name.

[SirAaronIII]

There's already bipolar-ness, it's called Mood Swings in-game. And I don't think that's what schizophrenia is, unless Google is completely wrong.

[Fniff]

What Miauw is talking about is OCD, not schizophrenia. Schizophrenia causes you to react to outside stimuli, bipolar causes mood swings and OCD causes you to need to fulfill certain rituals.

What you describe is called OCD, actually. Schizo manifests itself mostly with ingame-like effects.

Ninjaed.

Wouldn't OCD have sort of a form of manifestation in the game too, via the Hoarder trait?
Albeit, that wouldn't cover all things of OCD, but it seems to be one of the possible emergent parts of it.

Also, another mental disorder, sociopathy/psychopathy, partially also presented via the heartless trait. I think at least.

Aw yeah, found a bug, traced it to its source in code, figured out a fix, post on cata forum... And derp. It was fixed and changed in the source days ago. D:

[Greiger]

It hit autumn and it suddenly got dark a good 2 hours before I expected it to, now I'm driving home by flashlight navigating by minimap.  I can only see a couple tiles in front of my car.   Why don't the cars of the near future have headlights?

[Knight of Fools]

I think the lighting mod adds car lights. The current vanilla engine doesn't support lights that aren't centered on the player.

[Greiger]

I heard of it, didn't know it put headlights on cars very nice.  I doubt it's save compatible though.  I'll wait til this guy enevitably dies some horrible death and try it out.

In other news my hole puncher car is complete! Designed to break into bank vaults.  I did a test run against a house.  And it was a rousing...a rousing...well a rousing something...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It might need to be heavier...

[Greiger]

I DID have a seatbelt actually.  I just hit that house at something like 90.

My car can bust through walls pretty good, but I want to have a dedicated vehicle for the task, so I don't break my good car.

What was the thing you had on the front? Hard plating? Can't believe it didn't make at least a 1 wide hole.

[Greiger]

Steel plating is the best I can find.  Chunks and lumps of metal seem to be impossible for me to find to make anything better.  What few helicopter crashes I found only contained frames.  And turrets seem to be too dangerous for what few pieces they give.

But yea, a ^ piece of steel plated frame.

The thing actually came out of that basically untouched.  Only the steel plate on the front took any damage at all.  Other than my now shattered eyeglasses, safety glasses, army helmet and bones of course.

[miauw62]

I  think girlinhat said that grenades were great against those.
