The math checks out so I figure you're right. I take it that multiplier is something that has been part of the game pre v2.0? I never paid much attention to loot stage before, so I'm absolutely looking at this stuff for the first time.

Calling what an AI does "lying" is also anthropomorphism. For an LLM to lie it would have to know the truth, but LLM's don't know or understand anything ever. They calculate the probability of any particular word coming next in the current series. I have serious ethical, moral, and artistic...

I recently unlocked the wasteland badge and happened to look at my loot stage in the forest and in the wasteland. Wasteland: 185 Forest: 55 I poked through the base xml files, and near as I can tell the forest loot stage cap should be 40 (base) + 100 (badge 4). Wasteland is, of course, uncapped...

From my perspective, a boss fight would be more annoying and more boring than what we have now. I only mentioned that it would be just as gamey in order to underscore that there's nothing about that idea that I would find to be an improvement over what we've got now. I think the it's likely...

This combination can *really* suck. I was speeding down the highway to a mission in another biome (forest -> snow), and right as I crossed the biome border two things happened: 1. I hit a bump and went airborne, 2. storm gong and 12 second countdown begins. Post jump I land and try to turn...

A wrench. It's a useful way to get materials, particularly springs. I never use the water purifier mod, so getting one on day 1 would be a non-event for me.

Yeah, this is the one I missed.

Also depends on a lot on where TFP goes with bandits. Bandits could have factions and a reputation system, with storyline tied to NPC's within bandit groups. It's pretty clear that Traders are set up to be aligned either with or against the duke. So there are definitely interesting ways this...

Honestly, I'm not sure reinventing the lockpick mechanic is worth the dev time it would take to implement a much more robust design. I do like this kit idea, and I would absolutely install a mod implementation of it. I think it would be better to just tweak the given system, and that system not...

Let's merge the two conversations: give the intellect tree a sonic screwdriver perk, it's great for picking locks!

Nomad armor, steel club, easy peazy. Especially since I had all the club books by the time I got to the desert. Those swarms are one hit kills for me and refill my stamina. Nothing I like to see in a horde of zombies more than a few spitters, and I save them for last.

Puts me in mind of the parade of public figures decrying how "cancel culture" has "canceled" them and now they can't say [thing they are on their public platform saying for the 1 millionth time].

Thing is, the game world is too big to be keeping simming an area the player isn't in. So players could just weather the blood moon far from any of their bases. And you end up in the exact boat you're in right now. As it stands, the objective of blood moons is to not get killed. Once you've...

Near as I've been able to tell everything gets saved properly in this scenario except for vehicles and drones. Their locations and inventories appear to be handled independently. If they haven't ticked then on restart they will be out of date. Concerned that something might be wrong with the...

Nowhere. There is no sense in that even without the cheat menu. The real reason this waste of time exploit should be fixed is because the bug you're exploiting can also lead to loss of items and misplacement of vehicles. The broader world save happening so infrequently means that in the event...
