Jabodie 12/17/20 1:21:50 PM #101:	You mentioned a "stuck" star rating. Here's how it works: Several preppers have their star rating "locked" by email chains. When you reach a hard lock on a star rating, you need to wait until that prepper sends you an email. After that, you'll have to talk to them or do a special delivery. After that, the rating will go up again. Any deliveries you do when the rating is locked will contribute to the rating as soon as the lock is lifted (i.e. if you did 5 deliveries without the rating going up, they will all count at once when their email "quest" progresses). Idk if somebody else already explained this. --- <insert sig here> <cite>Jabodie posted [p:948446825] in ITT: I pla... [t:79164102]...</cite> <quote>You mentioned a "stuck" star rating.

Shotgunnova 12/17/20 2:04:15 PM #106:	I noticed a chain icon by the novelist's son, but didn't know it was email-related. Odd. Also, I'm wondering what would happen if I just went into a terrorist camp and murdered everyone. Would a voidout occur there and wipe it off the face of the earth? Or would they just respawn like normal? I don't want to have to lug 'em to the incinerator for some reason (even if there are respawning crystals there :P). I ask because I had a voidout occur right outside Capital Knot and, honestly, it wasn't a big deal. Giant crater that ate up (maybe) a whole BT zone and made traversing easier. Probably wouldn't need to do that on a second playthrough, but they may have some uses. Just thinking about a voidout in the wind farm's forest... No reason! Jabodie posted... Also, I once went east down the sheer face of the mountain to take a "short cut." By the time I realized how big my mistake was it was too late to go back lmao.

Oh I made it down successfully... but it probably took me an hour or two to make the climb. And I was only successful because I had heat pads with extra battery, like 4 ladders, and a shit ton of climbing anchors (including some special ones from a prepper), special legs, the works. Tbh I should have just killed myself and saved the time, but I wanted to see if I could do it lol. Shotgunnova posted... I noticed a chain icon by the novelist's son, but didn't know it was email-related. Odd. Often times you need to wait for them to ask to be included on the network, then another when they're willing to go "all in." You won't get these blocks for preppers that get on the full network immediately (typically). Several preppers are like this, and it's important to know when going for all 5 stars (which honestly isn't too hard if you're building ziplines/roads). Also you may know this already, but every prepper gives you new gear. For instance, there's a prepper you probably missed that gives you a rain cover for your backpack so you can give timefall protection to your packages and prevents them from falling off in combat.

But you can stack bodies in the back of a truck and haul them all at once I believe. I never killed anybody since I usually tried to stealth the terrorist areas, but as I mentioned earlier my brother killed/burned them all and he never saw them respawn after hours of play. If you void out you won't be able to farm resources form their camps, and each camp has its own common resource. That's the only downside I can think of. --- <insert sig here> <cite>Jabodie posted [p:948449003] in ITT: I pla...

Shotgunnova 12/17/20 2:28:32 PM #109:	Checked out the incinerator and got about 500-600 crystals, so that was a good stopover. If it's doable semi-reliably, and at all incinerators, that'd be a good alternative to just robbing clients of their goods. As for terrorist murdering, yeah, I probably wouldn't bother since each camp has its own usefulness. Shame the ones that need ceramics and metal are out near Lake Knot. When it comes time to build ziplines to the mountaineer, though, those alloys'll come in handy. Jabodie posted...

Shotgunnova 12/17/20 4:34:18 PM #111:	Been stealing resources from my other settlements to fund the "Reach Mountain Knot Project". Made a road that lifted an enemy truck up onto the overpass for extra giggles. This is also a convenient spot to trigger the terrorists' alarm, too, as you can gun 'em down when they ascend the ladder. Not exactly sporting, but they're using real bullets and I'm using rubber ones, so it evens out. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:948454385] in ITT: I pla...

Found the roboticist (can't use hot springs...) and mountaineer again, and almost have a zip network set up that avoids that massive BT hangout nearby. Also saw that you can probably connect the weather center zip network up to Mountain Knot's by putting some targets on the mountain ridge. I kinda want to try, but dunno how useful it'll be, especially since it'll undoubtedly be hell to repair. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:948500875] in ITT: I pla...

Felt kinda odd having everything else but no shotty variants. Looks like Die-Hardman (John?) appeared in one of Unger's flashbacks.

It's very lop-sided compared to randoms upgrading other things, though that's maybe because roads need metals and ceramics -- two of the most common resource types. I think when you repair something, you can use any of its base components to help, so that's another reason why. Ziplines need chemicals (the rarest material), general alloys (rather common) and chiralic crystals, so they're a little harder to do. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:948559850] in ITT: I pla...
