Do silencers totally negate the sound of gunshots or are they like real silencers and just tone down the sound?

They tone it down enough to not attract a horde for each shot you make.

They tone it down enough to not attract a horde for each shot you make.

More specifically, gunshots will still attract the attention of nearby zombies, but the sound isn't lound enough to alter the spawn counter (normally loud noises cause zombies to spawn faster).

At what level of electronics (or mechanics) you are able to create your own turret? Will gunfire from that turret(s) attract zombie horde? And a question about manhacks - are they viable at killing zombies or are as fragile as "wildlife" manhacks?

You need atleast skill seven in elctronics and some computers to make a turret. I haven't made a turret in the latest version (where they work), so I can't answer the second question.  Manhacks are currently a little underpowered at killing zombies.

Maybe implement it as a weightless, volume-less item that can't be dropped? It doesn't matter terribly, as I figured it out myself and scrounged up a hammer.

That would be permanantly reducing your carry capacity by 1 though.

ACtually, my theory on how to implement it was just turn it into an active bionic that brings up a list of tools you can activate. The problem is it is already an incredibly powerful bionic and that would just make it essential.

Not really.
Hell, you should be able to barricade doors and windows using a rock if you wanted.

It's only powerful becuase a) it lets you use tools which require charges and b) the updated crafting (which checks you surroundings for tools) isn't in yet. Right now most crafting tool aren't terribly hard to find, but carrying them around is a pain.

Is there any way to increase ones stats? I've got all these fancy skill books but I'm missing one point of intelligence so they're rather worthless at the moment.

Taking most stims will raise intelligence I think.
Try caffiene pills or cola.

This actually depends on the gun being silenced - many of the weapons are still quite capable of being pretty loud even after being silenced, but won't effect the spawn count as much (I believe, anyways)

[beorn080]

The larger the caliber, the louder the noise. A good general rule of thumb. .22's are nearly silent, even without a silencer, while .45's are a bit louder and need a silencer, up to shotguns which are incredibly loud regardless if you have a silencer, which don't even exist in vanilla Cataclysm.

All the bats are wooden? Maybe add some metal ones in? Maybe a little more damage?
