PC The obligatory "Tell Me Something I Didn't Know About A18" Thread

[Laz Man]

I have dubbed my Hunting Knife, "Mr. Lawnmower".

Haha, that is an interesting use case. I wonder what other activities out there can benefit from this? High speed farm harvesting?

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

Didnt know that about safes, that one is a keeper, especially since steel crafting is high up in the int tree unless you can get lucky finding/buying a crucible.

unfortunately, unlocked safes still have 2500-5000 hp, and yield only 1-3 steel bars...but when you're trying to get the last 2 bars for a mod...

If you live in the desert and you need clay then watch out for green spots on the map. That are areas with clay.

The tops of the street lights are useful for a similar amount of steel with minimal HP.

It was like that in previous alphas too, If you figure out at what interval the steel will drop (I used to know), you can hit it with a pick-axe until right before you hit that number, then pull out the wrench. Wrench a couple times, get the steel, then go back to the pickaxe, etc.

But also since it is RNG how many bars you will get sometimes it will not work perfectly. Since 1 interval may not drop.
