Anyone know a place I can send a save with a reproducible crash with construction?  I have all the materials to make a door, to make the door, and it crashes every time.  I've made sure to have all the items in my inventory, and I don't think there is anything else it could be using off the ground... If it matters, there are pits to the diagonal left and right of the door, and the door is being in the spot of an existing door.

I'd guess the best place for that would be Whales' email. fivedozenwhales AT gmail DOT com
Make sure to tell him what version you're using.

EDIT: Alternatively, make a thread at the official forums.

I don't know what ChairmanPoo did wrong but I'm running around with 3k EXP and nothing to spend it on. The passive 6 plus what you get from good food and other amenities makes this a cakewalk. My current character is as follows:

Esuke Ren

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Str 5 Dex 16 Int 13 Per 5

Schizophrenic
Chemical Imbalance
Trigger Happy
Quick
Optimistic
Heartless

Day 6
XP: 3418

Skills:
Dodge - 5
Melee - 6
Unarmed - 3
Bashing - 5
Cutting - 7
Firearms - 1
Mechanics - 3
Electronics - 5
Cooking - 6
Tailoring - 3
Carpentry - 6
First Aid - 3
Computers - 8
Butchering - 2 <-- Apparently at high levels, this skill removes the 'taint' from 'tainted meat'. SWEET!

Oh right. ChairmanPoo, did you go outside in the rain? Cause that penalty gets pretty damn high quickly. That could be why. Try playing past one sleep cycle and then reevaluate the trait.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that utility vests, like fanny packs, don't add encumberance. Backpack + kevlar + trenchcoat is crazy, though. One of those is redundant.

No, utility vests encumber the torso.

[Mr.Person]

Holsters and fannypacks are the only sources of ecumbrance-less storage in the game. Note that they still have weight, however.

[S.K. Ren]

Holsters, Fanny Packs and Utility vests you mean. But that's just counting what the item alone contributes. Its already be stated that there is a separate encumbrance penalty based on the number of items equipped on a slot regardless of actual item encumbrances.

Question: What are Fusion Packs for? I can make them but I'm wondering if its better to make them or save the Plutonium Cells.

Thinking of which, rainophilia trait would be great. Like having a morale boost instead of penalty when getting wet from the rain. As for negative traits, there's no sociophobia yet. Which would have restricted or limited interaction with NPCs.

Question: Do vitamins actually work? I consume a vitamin every 1-2 hours and not sure if they have any effect.

Holsters append to Legs, vests to Torso. Enough layers automatically encumber, regardless of item's encumbrance value.
Fanny packs are the only storage that don't encumber, since they don't append to any bodypart.

Fusion packs are for high-tech weaponry, like the Fusion rifle. Plutonium cells are worthless, but so are fusion packs if you don't have the weapons.
Plutonium might actually be preferred for the teleporter.

As for negative traits, there's no sociophobia yet. Which would have restricted or limited interaction with NPCs.

Given that there are no NPCs either ...

But what about all that posts I read about barter, hiring and chatting with NPCs? I actually haven't met any yet, but I believe there are some.

Look, a collapsed bridge!

[S.K. Ren]

As for traits that would be cool to see I've come up with a few.

Good Traits:
Camel - Your thirst reduces at X%(25-50) of the normal rate. (3 points)
Fasting - Your hunger reduces at X%(25-50) of the normal rate. (3 points)

Bad Traits:
Pyromaniac - You must periodically use lighters to start fires or suffer a morale penalty (-30). Setting things on fire boosts morale (+10). (-3 points)
Easily bored - You only gain half the maximum morale boost from books, alcohol and music. (-2 Points)

[L0master]

Fasting - Your hunger reduces at X%(25-50) of the normal rate. (3 points)

It's already implemented. It is called "light eater"

They're disabled in the current version, and will be for quite some time.

[Leatra]

Morale penalty you get from rain is ridiculously high. What about people who love rain like me?

That's what I was talking about. Rainophilia should be implemented.

Does that mean Speech and Barter skills are useless?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

At the moment, yes.

seems this dev may have taken a little inspiration from Whales? http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/10/13/apartment-of-health-lone-survivor/#more-77759
