As the topic suggests, this thread is for each player to list a factoid about A18 that they have discovered and which others may not yet know. I will start....

Wall Radiators can be destroyed with a Pick for a Radiator, which smelts to Brass. These are very abundant in houses and other POIs and are now a major source of precious Brass.

 
Also the AC units now drop a radiator also.

There is a large chandelier that when harvested with wrench will get you forged steel. Also the non functioning vendor machines will also get you some steel.

 
I've not heard this mentioned on the forums which surprises me since it had so much feedback in A17 but it seems they switched the item stat colors so green is now the "better" stat and not red.

 
The top part of the utility posts you sometimes find in certain POIs give out forged steel when harvested.

Also, I know probably many people know this already, but fireaxes are pretty good melee weapons now, sometimes even better than clubs and baseball bats.

 
Intellect is one of the most usefull skilltrees.

Junkturrets are automatic defenses with great dps.

And a stunbatton with great mods like flaming shaft is awesome.

also it has all the electric stuff and workbench and stuff...

And if you want to specc into smgs or something buy the fergettin elixyr later.

 
Sham sandwiches are a great CURE for food poisoning.

1. You hurl your "Bacon and eggs"

2. You don't have anything to lose anymore, so you chow down 1-4 shammies, and you're probably fine again.

Radiators in houses too.

 
If you stand on an edge of preferable tall drop, you can drop molotovs directly from the inventory (grab stack with left click, move out of interface and rightclick to drop them one by one). Not a terribly useful trick though.

 
You can kill boars super easy using a little homemade trap.

You need:

Wooden Ramp: <

Wooden Frame: X

Wood Spikes: i

So you build a small row of wooden frames on the ground, maybe 4 or 5. You put a ramp on the one side and put 2 more wood frames stacked vertically on the other side. Looks like this.

i i i i i X

<XXXXX

You stand on top of the 2 frames. The boar runs up the ramp and over the spikes to get at you. You can shoot him from your position. Works on default setting. You might need more spikes on higher settings. Easy raw meat!

I can confirm the steel from the large chandeliers. 👍

You can do perfectly fine if you don't have every single item of quality 6 after 10 days.

Hahaha, nice 👍😂

Edit: coffins are a great source of ammo. Dont forget to dig next to every tombstone for more coffins. 😎

 
A bandana in A18 can have 4 Cold resist but only 1 Heat resist (median is 2 and 2)

in the words of Willy Wonka "Scratch that! Reverse it!" (made a correction)

Unlocked safes can be wrenched for steel

the weights-set, cement mixers, workbenches, and chemistry labs can be wrenched for lots of loot, including a healthy dose of iron bars

Schematics and books you have read, or know through perks will show an "Open book" icon on the top left of the picture, while ones you don't yet know will show a "closed book"

Some people still might not know...

There is a tiny bar on the top of your toolbelt that shows your experience progress to the next level. It fills up blue, and when it gets full, you level. When you die, it partially turns red at the left, and as you gain experience, the red shrinks. When the red is gone, your experience bar is restored at whatever it was when you died.

fist weapons and knives have a faster attack animation and attack speed than empty hands. Useful for breaking grass, shrubs, or cloth
