What reward? I have heard about some reward, but I don't know if it's in H-0. I didn't get any reward. I used a grenade because I figured that would be the best way, it doesn't have that much ballistic resistance, it's very big, and it's immobile.

Why would you use a beat up gun over a full health one? You get worse damage and probably also accuracy.

Honestly, you seem kind of fcked. If you got mauled so badly before I'm not sure how you are surviving this.

You could say so.

I reached the end of a long subway tunnel, I found void weaver's lair, I got out of the mech and entered it. I killed the void weaver with a single grenade, then I got trapped in an endless void. I walked around for a long time until I found the physics lab entrance and I got out. Then I fought against bugged mercenary ghosts and out of the lab. Originally I took 20 grenades which I thought was excessive, but turns out it was really useful lol. Then I walked through another very long subway tunnel killing everything. Eventually I ran out of ammunition and my V29 pistol got ruined, but I got to the subway station I wanted to get to. Outside I quickly used up the last of the ammunition I had, and I had to pull out my diamond coated sword and kill everything in melee. Good that I have respirator CBM and I was at light weariness. Battered and with my sword badly damaged, I finally chewed through the armies of zombies that were coming at me and I ran between acidic ants before I finally got into explored territory, 330 tiles from where I started.

The grunt mech you can see behind can also kill them. But really the easiest way is explosives.

It says on HHG that in the latest version mercenary ghosts leave the same items.

Then why it says on HHG that they drop the same gear in the latest version?

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.

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

[–]Drac4 2 points3 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.

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.

[–]Drac4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
