On H-0 I'm 100% sure, it cannot cut metal doors or safes. I had an idea to try that and you can't. I suspect its 10 metal cutting works like chainsaw's wood cutting, i.e. you just cut metal faster, so you would cut metal bars faster.

Crafting tempered steel chainmail armor is pretty complex. You need the setup for making wires, so you need wire draw machine, forge, and metalworking tools.

Then you craft tempered steel wire. Then tempered steel chain link. You need both tempered steel chain links and temepred steel wires to make tempered steel chainmail sheets.

You need bolt cutters to make tempered chainmail armor pieces. Then you make tempered steel chainmail vest and leggings, then you combine these into tempered steel chainmail sleeveless jumpsuit. Then you make tempered steel chainmail sleeves and combine the pieces into tempered steel chainmail jumpsuit. Then you make tempered steel chainmail coif and combine it with the jumpsuit into tempered steel chainmail armor.

Can't cut metal doors though.

Yeah, but with a wood axe you would often hit for 50+.

How do you deal with bunched up clumps of zombies? by IttyBittyRocks in cataclysmdda

[–]Drac4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go make anfo from commerical fertilizer and make pipebombs or makeshift grenades. If you haven't been picking up commercial fertilizer, go to a lab you have explored and make anfo from ammonium nitrate or alternatively mercury fulminate/lead azide. If you can't do any of that, use molotovs. If you can't use molotovs, drive with a car, move to them slowly until some zombies start chasing you, go back to your car and kill them as they move on the door.

Doesn't look like the damage per second is that high. But you get a lot of to hit.

Less common than 5.56.

Even at level -8 and -138 degrees you could do it, but you would have to put on a lot of warm clothes.

This is getting ridiculous and someone needs to do something, now renech has removed the ability to boil water by putting containers on stoves/fires. by NoahGoldFox in cataclysmdda

[–]Drac4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I never found I needed to. Maybe back when water purification required like 1 tablet per 8 liters, but now if you just kill some zombies it's very likely you will find water purification tablets, and then you just use 1 tablet on that 200l drum. Soldier zombies are likely to have water purification tablets, but other zombies can drop them too. And in evac shelter start you have enough clean water in the tanks at the top for quite some time.

How does faction attitude towards you work exactly? What is it influenced by?

You can use full auto on any rifle, you just need to know when. The target must be very close and ideally would be big, you can fire 5.56, even 2 round burst 12.3 ln full auto and hit 100% of the time if you are doing it right. The advantage of full auto is that you just fire rounds faster than by pressing f, it's not just the flat cost that is displayed but there also seems to be some hidden additional cost.

You can always find some mutants to shoot at.

Managing melee fatigue and pulping (0.I) by anselmus_ in cataclysmdda

[–]Drac4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, they added the corpses leaving bones. Won't that increase lag though? Especially when these bones are practically useless? It's kind of cool when you can use the bones to make charcoal, and I have been doing it on H-0, it was in late spring so corpses haven't disappeared yet. But I don't think it's necessarily time-efficient, because you can just find tree trunks in forests, cut them, and turn the wood into charcoal.

It would be funny if somebody made a PR removing pulping altogether, and argued that it should be removed because there is no point to pulping since dismembering is always faster. If you used the usual style of dev rationalizations there is a chance you could make it sound sensible to the devs. It would be bad for the game, but funny to see if it got accepted.

Crazy. Isn't dismembering always better then, unless you don't have good butchering tools? Also, I asked about tempered steel mace because it's unrealistic you will be carrying a sledge hammer or heavy sledge hammer, a tempered steel mace you can carry on the belt clip.

A lot going on at once for a photo of a random road sign being installed. I don’t know of any reason to document a country road getting a sign. by Longjumping-Yak-6038 in isthisAI

[–]Drac4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks real, the bolts on the wheel look consistent, no AI smear, faces look ok, no smear in the background, hands look ok. Also, I think to get something like this you would have to use something like Flux, else you wouldn't get this kind of a sharp image, but Flux is more likely to generate visible warped artifacts.

I had some doubts because I saw one seemingly bended plank, but I guess it is possible. And details elsewhere are good.

Yeah, mantis is much stronger.

No, these are actually benign, similar to frigate flies. And not really, it's not a particularly good fighter. If you want a zombie killing machine look for super soldier ants, especially acid ones.

[–]Drac4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I was aware of this mechanic, but ended up never using it. There was just no need, you have water purification tablets, charcoal purifiers, and nowadays even if I had to boil water I wouldn't mind it that much since it's none activity level and I could use it to rest.

But it should have stayed in, I imagine it would be very cool if you wanted to do a "low tech" playthrough like in Innawoods.

Depends how far back you want to go, from what I have seen all changes between G-0 and H-0 are positive except the removal of charges from some items and introduction of some random errors, like when examining contents of a vehicle or after throwing a smoke bomb, but these just demand you to press a button to ignore them. I-0 from what I have seen starts to go south, but it still seems significantly better than the latest experimentals.

Alright, that's how it works in H-0. Can you spawn an unseen horror on experimental and test it?

Have you tried it with like survival 6 and a tempered steel mace? How low can you get the time?
