BTW: What are insect stings good for?

Wasp stings used to be arguably the best weapon in the game, then they got nerfed... I'm not really sure how good they are post-nerf (haven't gotten a hold of one since).

Anyway, no-one knows how to reload a (crafted) flamethrower? I've tried filling it straight from the pump (it tells me simple flamethrower won't hold gasoline), putting gas in all sorts of containers (glass bottle, plastic bottle, plastic bag, tin can...) in which case it just says out of ammo when I try and reload, pouring it right on the ground... nothing. It says it uses (12 rounds of) gasoline in the description, I just can't figure out how to make the gasoline go inside of it. Maybe it's just bugged?

Edit: I notice the chainsaw (which I don't have to test if it works) says 1000 charges of gasoline. Maybe the problem is the flamethrower wants some sort of bullets made out of gasoline or something?

[Whales]

Dang flamethrowers broken again.  Chainsaws do work and can be reloaded from the pump.  Flamethrowers should be able to be reloaded from a pump in the next release, from a bottle of gasoline if I have the time.

Stabbin'

No promises, but a near-future release might see the long-awaited return of NPCs, a new starting situation, and some basic missions.

I still have nightmares about the NPC error screens.

[Alkhemia]

Hmmm I found a base use a ID card and found some more lock door can I shut the first door? I have a nice base of operation if I can figure out how also does eating Zombies or Human do anything bad? Fun game btw

[S.K. Ren]

Humans(Chunk of Meat) only give morale penalty. Zombies(chunk of Tainted meat) give moral penalty and poisoning. Note this is separate from food poison form eating rotten foods.

I got a suggestion, actually a handfull:

Death, A lategame NPC that appears rarely when suffering from mortal wounds, diseases etc. If you choose to play old man he would appear periodically. He may either, simply approach and kill you, ask you a hard riddle or converse with you, giving a morale boost and possibly even healing you(the latter only possible if you have witnessed a loved one die.

Regions, basically themes of map generation, like huge nuke craters or deserts.

Cats of Ulthor: Giant Cats from the dreamworld moon that will save you if your one they like, taking care of cats will keep em happy.

Godzilla Boss, would appear in ruined urban centers.

Satanic Rituals

Animators, rogue alien wizzies that just love to animate random things, getting mauled by a pack of wild flying zombie teapots would be grieftastic.

A variation of death NPC, G-Man, would offer either a "save the world" mission or having you mauled by Xen aliens.

possibly bunker/lab spoiler, possible bug with the new military supply bunkers..

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I found one, blew open the door and blew up the turrets (hooray Kevlar) and went down the ladder expecting a cache of grenade launchers and c4 or something..... and ended up in a sewer. The sewer was connected to a lab fairly close by, so I don't know if it's the good old stairs transporting you to the wrong place bug (which till this point seemed to be completely fixed) or it's working as intended. Also, I'm not sure if it's a bug or not with the lab but it seemed to have a *lot* of biotics rooms everywhere - before I was killed I had collected something like 150 power worth of internal batteries (which is a lot now that they only give +4) and had passed at least twice as many CBMs required to get every single power supply and utilities upgrade. Not sure if that's normal for labs or not since I've died early on every other time I tried to explore them

Edit: I'm sure you already know about it by now (and have probably fixed it, at the rate you're going) but just in case - cooking meat is using a whole stack (even if you're cooking it off the ground) just like baking bread and probably other crafting recipes.

They are pretty much like that atm. Wont always be like that.

I think the problem with bionics caches is that as they are now they SHOULD be scarce, but the failure rate in installation is high enough to make small ammounts of them not that good  (as even smart, first aid savvy characters high on drugs will end up borking the installation and breaking all other bionics quite often). You need quite a few tries to get a decent set. This will be tricky to balance, I think.

(Suggestion: how about requiring special instruments or rooms to install bionics, or at least improve failure rate? Eg surgery rooms and such. Of varying qualities: a lab's surgery room might give a bigger bonus than the one you get at a small ambulatory surgery room in an ER...

[Blaze]

I think bionic scarcity should vary really. The current scarcity makes them appear rare and extremely expensive; but at the same time, something so valuable would focused more on powerful abilities instead of mundane utilities like flashlights and nutrition (Unless they were also dealing with a severe food shortage.). There doesn't seem to be any evidence that bionics weren't commonplace.

So yeah, basic bionics should be found in some bionic clinics and such, while the more powerful ones are found in military installations and science labs. Train your installation skills with the cheap ones before moving on to the stronger ones.

It also means that NPCs may appear with a few bionics installed in them. (Which may or may not be ripped from their mutilated bodies and recycled)

[ChairmanPoo]

As it is now there is no installation skill proper, just int and first aid (afaik).


Speaking of which, maybe it'd make sense to have a science skill which would combine with first aid for bionics (and maybe some other stuff?) and with cooking for the advanced chemistry stuff?

Yay Amigara Monsters Yay!

Killed myself by spawning that dreaded monstrosity.  Fortunately, I was just experimenting how stuff worked, so no big losses for me.. yet.

It's not weed, he just couldn't find any thorazine in the pharmacy.

To quote the screen that pops up when you activate a CBM:
"Installation requires high intelligence, and skill in electronics, first aid, and mechanics (in that order of importance)."
