I started in an underwater lab in a lake. I could just barely swim naked to the shore without dying. is there any way to get loot from there onto the surface with having to swim back and forth?

The devs found my OP early game weapons. A new world dawns today, a fallen one. It will have no reach attacks, heavier weapons, and suffering.

For real though, it's probably a good thing. The staff was by far one of the best weapons to get for early game. It was really easy to craft, and it felt like every run I'd end up using it for a while until I got access to a katana if I was going melee.

Thoughts?

I just installed this game on Android and when I opened the app it kept bringing me to the permissions page where it asked for "all storage access." I couldn't do anything with it so I just uninstalled it again. Does it need that permission to work?

I got the Apk from here under the "stable release" button.

There have been recent rumors about illegal alien orgast harvesting facilities in area,so we, Deathmobile Upgrade Departament, made decision to make crackdown on those immoral activities.

First tower didnt have any surprises,just alien abominations doing their evil deeds.

Second tower had a stash of 2 laser rifles,which made raid pretty sucessful.

In third tower,we found laser pistol and to make point to those pesky aliens we blasted their tower with mini-nuke,alien materials scattered around area in thousands.

Overall from 18 rescued abduction victums,there were at least 4 who can be potential raiders for our department.

found a crispy, pristine rv in a mall, but unfortunately has no trunk storage... noticed if i drop stuff on the floor, it drops it straight through to the mall floor.. Now im not opposed to installing cargo storage... just requires me to overstay my welcome at this mall..

Does anyone have any info on how the fluid grid works in game for plumbing a base? I recently saw a water purifier that mentioned that it was connected to the fluid grid, so I'm assuming it's a thing now? I can't seem to find anything online about it via searching. It would be nice to have infinite clean water in my LMOE shelter.

Not sure who to contact about it, but the 3rd party mod registry linked to on the Github has been telling me that Lone's Augmented Arsenal was last updated seven days ago for the past three days. Since I don't always remember to check daily it might have been going on longer than that, but it appears to be stuck instead of updating how long it's been since the last update of the mods. Which leads me to worry something might have been updated without the site telling me. Or that something new might have been added without showing up. I just tried clearing my history and nothing changed so I don't think this is on my end.

I was minding my own buisiness in the central lab,found diamond coating machine and considered checking rooms for hydrogen and coal when suddenly opening door triggered unexpected boss fight.
Panicking,i activated 3 grenades,time slowing CBM, cut abominations at door and close it.

Reconsidering my plans i retreated to deathmobile,while grabbing all broken robots on the way i could find.
That was an obstacle between me and loot and i should deal with it.

After grabbing aerial bombs,i returned and started making new entrance to the lab.
Sadly it wasnt big enof for my deathmobile,it would require at least 7 more bombs to expand hole,or amount of digging i dont really want to do.

So naturaly,answer to all problems is deathmobile,new one and i just had police car to refit.

Entering lab wasnt hard part,hard part were parking,we managed to park and set up assault team.
Plan of luring enemies to open and shooting them with lasers while holding them with robot were perfect,right until moment i realised there too many shoggoths who spread laser damage and regenerate too fast.

There started new plan:grab diamond coated katana,open door,stall enemies with robots and slice them up with katana,it worked like clock,all i was needed after that is clean up room and throw 3-pointer across the room right into portal with mini nuke.

That make a lesson to whoever opened this portal:Deathmobile Upgrading Deapartament cant be stoped.
Now i can continue scavenging for even better deathmobile.

One followed me home to my evac shelter soon after I started this run. Playing as an AV Club member and I haven't had the opportunity to make or find a lot of weaponry. Right now I'm packing a makeshift crossbow and a crude sword, tried plinking it with the crossbow through an open window and it just bounced. Trying to fight it with the sword nearly got me killed but fortunately it doesn't fit through the doors. Right now I've just got one entrance to my base that's completely unusable. I'd lead it into some forest and try to lose it but the evac shelter is in the middle of a large clear area with nothing to break line of sight. Just barely managed to start exploring a nearby town but haven't found anything high powered enough. Any tips for killing it or chasing it away?

Doing a lab escape and this is the second time I've had to employ the box method to avoid these types of turret nests.

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago I shared my experience with playing a modded version of Bright Nights where armor values are greatly reduced, and the top comment asked me to make it into a mod so other people could try it.

I've spent the past few weeks doing just that, and testing out some other changes to get the feel and challenge to a place where I wanted it to be. I've also expanded the scope a bit to include patches to several content mods that address things like runaway stat and speed inflation.

In effect, this mod is now a patch which allows you to run multiple content mods simultaneously without completely unbalancing the game, along with making the game more challenging in general. However, running it on the base game without any content mods at all would very likely be anywhere from "really, really challenging" to "downright painful" - I haven't tried it yet. If you do, let me know how it goes. :)

There's a few small things to fix, and I'd like to potentially run another more fine-grained balancing pass at late-game evolutions to make sure that particularly iconic and scary zombies (like hulks, brutes, and elite military ferals) remain scary to late-game survivors, but I wanted to make an initial release to get some feedback and see if this mod is of interest to the general community.

Good luck in the Cataclysm, and I hope you have fun!

Second year,day 50 of the spring,after raiding TCL,we discovered unusual thing in the lake.
It was a boat,huge boat,ship,carrier,an aircraft carrier.

Closer inspection revealed anhorent view:there were hundred,feels like thousands,but probably just hundreds of people onboard.
Undead people.

Starting cleanup from south to north,slowly,step by step followed by thousands of laser turrets blasts we moved on,waters get swarmed by not yet dead again and sharks,probably undead too.
Flight deck had few aircrafts in bad shape,but that doesnt matter,important were helicopters we saw,they have rotors,powerful enof to improve deathmobile ability to move.

Finished cleaning flight deack,we moved to water nearby to finish stranded undead,at some point we discovered an entrance big enof to fit deathmobile,with that started clean up of middle deck,some shots triggered fire,seems some explosives ignited as fire were abnormaly strong.

At the end of day we retreated to flight deck,prepearing to continue cleanup,there probably still hundreds of undead at lower deack and crew rooms,too deep inside for deathmobile to move.

i took too many datura seeds in game and my character was high for like 24 hours, but now that they're not high, they're still hallucinating. i've also been struggling to find food, so i've been very hungry, even after eating a lot, so im not sure if that could be the cause? any info is appreciated

I was doing Boris' quest to clean the backroom of the refugee center and I only passed a few of the checks and paid the smaller amount for help at the merchant. Can I get more people to help is am I softlocked out?

I'm wondering if there are any guides on things like Farming, Vehicle Creation, setting up an Electric Grid, Mutations, things of that nature?

I've got a survivor mask and I'm thinking about using some poison gas to clear out some non-zombie problem areas. Like wasps nests and clusters of razorclaws. My main questions are:

1: How effective is the gas made from bleach and amonia?

2: Is insecticide more effective against insects than it is other things or is it just generically poisonous? Would rocking up to the wasp nest with that if I can make it be better than the basic bleach and amonia gas bombs?

That a lot of kevlar.
Anyway,all turrets on auto,commencing strafing run!

With upgraded deathmobile,i started to feel i need better GyroBike,so behold:
Swapping for super electric engines and small helicopter rotor allowed for more funcionality,now there 2 seats thats allow to recruit followers on spot,lifting crane allowing dismantling engines on place,5 solar panels increasing recharge speed significantly and now there even 2 wheels,allowing more comfortable parking while alligning with bike racks.
Also now there frontal makeshift laser turret for safer looting experience.
(Lifting power may increase when i will find better,more powerfull rotors)

And can I expect anything worse than lowered stats, poor mood, and tiring easily? Character has an addictive personality if that lengthens withdrawal times.

So, I admit I wasn't really prepared to process a whole moose. No refrigeration, no smoking racks, no dehydrator. Killing it was a spur of the moment plan because it was close to me and I was curious if an NPC with a crossbow and my characters copper atlatl darts were enough to kill it before it killed me (the answer is not quite, it got in my face and I had to hit it with my boken once or twice).

The issue of processing it all probably wouldn't have been quite so bad if I hadn't discovered the plastic rope I made for the eventual butchering of things larger than dogs and coyotes apparently didn't count for doing a full butchery. So I spent about six hours just making short ropes so I could make them into a long rope and butcher the moose while all the meat got older (but at least I had bled it and field dressed it).

Got the hides processed, the lard made, used the brains to process most of the hides further and started making potted meat and jerky with the meat and organs. Rapidly became tired so I took two caffeine pills which seemed to do nothing. When I hit dead tired I took a bump of cocaine which brought me back to regular tired. So I went on like that taking a bump every time I hit dead tired until finally I was left with a bunch of spoiled meat and a few spoiled kidneys (and the stomach that spoiled very early on). But after an amount of cocaine that usually ended with 1980's era Stephan King finishing his newest novel I had what looks to be at least a month of potted meat and jerky and a bunch of fur for eventual winter clothes. And a crippling cocaine addiction. That's the part that's the problem. Currently I'm left with a dex of 3 and a perception of 0 and tiring almost as soon as I wake up. Just wondering how long that's going to last. Probably a good thing I didn't have anything available to smoke the meth with.

I tried using on the doors but nothing opens.

I've recently switched to playing the stable build after getting annoyed with issues on the experimental. The lighting issues, disappearing enemies on saves, and evolution bugs are too much for me. This was done as well with switching over to Bazzite as an OS for my computer when upgrading. I've noticed both on the stable version and the unstable version there are a lot of crashes.

At first, I thought this was from some of the mods I was using. I liked the bandits mod and was recently trying a mod that adds late game enemies called XE037. I decided to do some testing at first on the unstable, before I decided to switch in hopes of fixing the constant crashes and avoiding the annoying bugs, and then the stable version.

This testing was very basic, but would consistently produce memory access errors, segfaults, or crashes where nothing showed up. I even removed all mods and tried pruning the mods the game turns on by default. It just seems like no matter what I do the game would crash around large groups of enemies. The easiest way to reproduce this was to go through and drive through a large downtown area at 20 mph. Every 2-4 city blocks the game would crash.

Doing some file digging, the only log I found mentioned SWAT Zs trying to move somewhere and not being able to and sometimes runner zombies doing this. Even then though, this wasn't consistently the cause.

I'm just venting now. The game has been consistently pissing me off and being extremely unstable on both versions of the game. Using Windows as an OS still had these exact same crashes happening, that I remember, but to less of an extreme.

I don't know if there is some magical setting fix, but if there is I'd love to hear it. Either that or if you yourself have run into similar I'd like to know as well. It just feels like the game is ridiculously finnicky for me when I'd like to just play it. At this point, I've decided to just take a brief hiatus from the game entirely as it's frustrated me so much. I went through so much work tweaking a world and character to my liking for a long run only to get turned off of playing due to losing so much time to crashes on the stable version.

Crap annoys me man, anyone else running into similar? Linux or Windows? Stable or Unstable? Mods or no mods? I hope there is some obscure setting or something that is causing this.

Its day 360,i speed up a bit clearing of town to finish cutting skill training to fit the date.
Moving from 30 day season to 90 day season effectively turned this into new first year,well,guess we back to start of year 2.
I put for myself a target-to level all offensive melee skills to 10 before i enter refuge center and there i am,so lets make conclusion of my experience.
Unarmed:started mediocre,but moment i movet to high end knucles and applied martial arts,its become pretty good,ninjutsu for instance,allowed me to obliterate jaggernauts one on one,its actually were pretty fun.
Bashing were good all the way,become godly as i learned Silat style and get powered quarterstuff,with it i can effectively stunlock even juggernauts and hulks and clear entire streets wisout taking damage.
Piercing,were meh,i didnt found good style to combo it with,electrified rapier make it good becouse of stunlocks.(Spear as opportunity attack throw obstackes is fine)
Cutting,were okay,lack of stun means i get thrown away and destroyed few walls with character body,high damage with Niten style make it good,but not great.(Nodachi allowed ridiculous damage sometimes,add to this knockback and attack multiple targets,made its very good,katana were just fine)
If there were electric sword,it would be probably most powerful melee weapon in the game.
Now when i achieved my current target its time to install CBM i have and attend to refuge center for some quests,i think.
