I think that's the learnin' elixir. "It burns going down..."

Here is a collection of little projects that grew up enough that I thought they might be worth sharing. Decorative Variant Blocks(A18)(github) -adds 20 craftable variant blocks full of decorative building blocks(block list) Made to hold me over until we can pick up this stuff and take it...

In my experience and according to the in-game notes, NPCs will only visit the rented machines. I haven't looked any deeper into it, but they seem to like food and meds a lot. I'm not sure if I've ever sold a piece of equipment to an NPC... I make money off of renting, both in single and...

No, but you could make all the stone blocks in the world work the way the boulders used to. Or if you're feeling claustrophobic, make the cinder block piles like those boulders and you can explore the wasteland. Fair enough. I am really asking to try to help because I feel for you if you're...

My first question was rhetorical and I knew the answer would be perks, but I just don't get it in a game like this. I fully understand optimal play and min-maxing. I used to play a game that allowed you a limited number of turns per day and playing that optimally was challenging and a blast(had...

Why does your group not help with mining? Why work so hard on a base early on when there are so many throwaway POIs? I recommend getting out and trying to get some books and gear that make mining go much more quickly than whacking away with an iron pickaxe. If everyone pitches in and sells to...

I use my friends' funnel base when they're online and my parkour park I messed around with in A17 when they aren't. My character build was focused on handguns and bows primarily with shotgun and bat as secondary, but I recently respec'd completely out of melee and just use handguns and shotguns...

It's not the most effective setup, but I'm having fun with DoT. I'm perked into agility, but for melee I like to use a stun baton with a flaming shaft, then put some bleeding onto them after they're shocked.

Think it's trader joel. Can't check it now, but if I remember right, those are wood support beams(1 and 2) and maybe the old log spikes on top of 100 pillars. Unless they were added in A18, you'll need to make recipes for them to use them outside of creative.

Psh, safety. Not anymore- well, not as long as I have a late-game character with great gear, tons of ammo and enough medicine for a platoon. I wanted to actually use some of this stuff up before the update drops, so I ditched my heavily-fortified base for a parkour park. (Jumped into god mode...

This is a death penalty I like to use in my games, too. I even comment out the sleeping bag class on the beds so I can still decorate with them if I want to. I predict your players will have a sore back, hurt feelings and greater character.

This process is so easy it doesn't really require a how-to, but I had to ask a moderator after a forum and FAQ search yielded nothing for me so I thought a post with some keywords could help some others. So, how to. 1. Click "Settings" in the upper right. 2. In the tables of modules on the...

That's Current Amount Held/Amount Required. @Joe: Did you also change your oil shale max stack size down to 5760? I was able to start refining gas like a well-oiled... uh, oil refinery after that little edit.

Yeah spawns are a contentious point and a lot of people(including me) want a little more danger and action outside, but at what point do they draw the line on options? What if the options open cans of bugs on planned progression? What's the metric for un/popularity to even decide what should...

Fubar_Prime covered the trader thing a bit. It was just the quest dialog, not the inventory, that more than one at a time could access.
