Bionics canisters can be found on dead scientists (which is pure luck), but they'll be moved soon to the labs, so it's not just dumb luck that scores you bionics.

Hmm, it's fine if you move them to the labs, but can you still allow to find one once every summer equinox out of a lab? We also need a source of labcoats early on... (put them in pharmacies?).

Just to be sure. There are bionics shops, right? I only saw one in a video from a few versions ago...

How do I use the map teleport? I just bugged into a rock wall.

The debug teleport is triggered by opening the map screen and hitting enter, your char will port to the selected tile.

[Smitehappy]

Wow, so the Resonance Cascade option on portal terminals is a pretty spectacular way to die. Does it have any purpose besides being totally rad?

[GlyphGryph]

You can also debug teleport with the '*' key.

[Angle]

Don't abuse it, though...

[alway]

Heh, this time I started with the 'heat dissipation' bionic. Immune to temperatures up to 2000 degrees F.

Also, is there a way to permanently light a tile on fire?

Number sixteen is the most promising subject yet. Managed to put a silencer on my glock, and now I'm running away from a horde of triffids and zombies.

Also, why is the underbrush forming a tree and stabbing the queen triffid?

EDIT: Oh, and I got an ID card from a group of dead scientists. would've grabbed his hazmat suit, but i'm carrying too much as is.

EDIT: Alas, poor sixteen was dead before the wonders of science could be explored.

[Angle]

NOOOO! Johny jones!

Sigh. Over 10 in melee and piercing, armed with a stabbity stick, level three of the labs, I think I'm doing fine, and then... dead. should''ve watched my health better. On the upside, I was one-hitting manhacks, so they're not too bad.

How much work would it be to make items combine in your inventory into stacks larger than you find them in?

Like the 9mm +P+ ammo. It's great ammo, and I find enough of it - I just can't carry it due to the item limit. It separates in stacks of 10. It's fine only finding it in stacks of 10, but it would be nice if I could combine those stacks up to 50 or 100 or something. I'm usually limited by the item limit more than I am by the volume or weight limits. Even other small items would be nice to stack. Batteries, for instance. They take very little volume, but carrying a bunch of them isn't viable due to the item limit. If they could stack up to 1000 it would be far more convenient for carrying and storing them.

The game already handles stacking items, picking up two half used stacks of 50 batteries combines it into a stack of 100. And it already multiplies the weight based on how big a stack is. All thats really missing is the volume calculation based on stack size and a stack limit higher than the spawn size, but I'm not sure if that would be difficult to add in or not. Can't seem to find the bit that deals with that in the source - guess I'll keep digging

To really flesh out the feature you'd also need a way to separate items other than loading them into something and unloading, though.

[Deon]

Yeah, all it needs is a difference between stack size and spawn size for now, it should fix the issue.

Holy crap, lightning just struck 10 feet away and demolished and lit on fire a whole section of the house I'm in. :O
The house appears to be slowly burning down.

And now I died after using the fire to almost live. Had about half a dozen zombies chasing me; already in heavy pain and my gun unloaded (after shooting a couple necromancers and a fast zombie they kept rezzing). Lost all but 3; 2 normal zombies and a skeleton. Ran back into the burning building, took off my pants, then ate them; I have the combustion power source, you see, and then walked right into the blazing inferno. Unfortunately, while it killed the two zombies, the skeleton was immune to it, and even if it had died, I probably would have died from the smoke inhalation (I had only a couple torso hit points left). I think I managed to die far enough away for the handgun and more importantly ammo to survive for the next guy.

[Ehndras]

I second that, I never reach weight/volume limits, its always the item limits that kill me.

You should just stockpile everything on your fort and only bring weapons and medicine

[SomeStupidGuy]

Hey, I really love this game but I unfortunately kind of suck at surviving for longer than 2-3 days so does anyone have any advice on long-term survival?
Also, out of curiosity what are the radios going to be used for in future releases?

[toupz]

Find a basement and store it with food and water and set traps everywhere and on top floor too and then stay inside for days reading books and magazines and eating and sleeping

Edit: Or go outside and train your fighting skills and hope no hulk or army of necromancers chase you
