Fixer in Junkyard sells chem/bio workbench

West in Foundry sells electro workbench

Fredd in Camp Hathor sells tailoring workbench

and the dude with the quad bikes in his store in Rail Crossing sells the mechanics workbench


They all cost around 1000 charons before mercantile checks.

Bugs / 1.0.0.6 Jyles refuses to sell lab room stuff

« on: December 30, 2015, 08:18:00 pm »

Jyles offers to sell me shelves for the crafting rooms in my basement. I've bought some for the tailoring and mech/elec rooms without issue. However, he refuses to sell me shelves or anything else for the lab room. He just keeps telling me I should buy a lab bench first, but I already bought the lab bench from Fixer and had it delivered to the basement. It's sitting there and gives me the proper buffs and everything. But Jyles refuses to recognize it's there and just keeps repeating the dialog telling me to buy a lab bench.

I have a save I can provide if needed.

General / Re: Which level for Depot A

« on: December 29, 2015, 06:03:42 am »

That is the first real difficulty spike in the game. It is normal to struggle there. Use every tool you have at your disposal--caltrops, grenades, flashbangs. Take morphine. Remember that you can leave the zone in the middle of a fight to heal and reset your ability timers--IF you get lucky and can avoid getting stuck in place by the acid spit.

Suggestions / Re: Various Suggestions

« on: December 28, 2015, 09:45:43 pm »

Criticals and ammo reduction aside, what is the advantage of using a weapon with higher damage if the damage seems to scale almost directly with the amount of required action points?

Armor penetration. As the game progresses you will meet enemies with tougher armor and the ability to punch through it becomes important.

- Attacking out of stealth should automatically grant initiative to the player for the following combat round (at least with melee attacks - implementing this for ranged may have too great of an impact on overall tactics / balance).  Seems odd to land an attack on an unsuspecting victim out of stealth only to have that person turn around and gain first round combat initiative against the player.

Interesting suggestion. I see where you're coming from, but I also think that's what Cut-throat and the other melee perks that grant disables are for.

- Percentages for close proximity non-melee attacks seem rather unrealistic.

Don't worry, this will get better as you level your Guns skill/Perception. There are also weapon mods and night-vision goggles that help a lot. Bear in mind that if your enemy is standing in darkness, your hit percentage goes way down. You can throw a flare to help.

General / mystery lady... (missing merchants spoilers)

« on: December 28, 2015, 09:27:47 pm »

...I found Terry Baker's body in the caves but not his wife's. I used Persuasion on the woman in the bar and she told me a story about waking up in the caves and not knowing who she was, but there is no option to ask her if her name is Lora or anything like that. I can only turn the quest into Vera and say there's "A possibility" that Lora might have survived.

Does this mean that the woman in the Hanging Rat is unrelated to this quest, or is this a bug?

At the bandit "roadblock" between SGS and Rail Crossing, if you use Persuasion to pass them peacefully, you'll find they don't want you messing with their footlocker but don't seem to care if you steal their boots (not "owned"). Silly bandits.

Bugs / Re: Rathound King Armor Glitch

« on: December 28, 2015, 05:54:35 pm »

It's not a glitch, but it is kind of a dick move. There's no reason a player would think that the armor causes hostility when there is no previously-established "disguise" system in the game. So it's basically a trap. I guess it's meant to be a funny surprise, similar to how it makes rathounds friendly, but it's not very funny to the people like the OP who get blindsided by it.

I think it would be perfectly reasonable to put something on the armor description like "Disguise: Rathound King". But if Styg wanted to do that he probably already would have, so I'm not holding my breath.

Suggestions / Re: Some small quest adjustments that would go a long way

« on: December 28, 2015, 04:45:14 am »

In the foundry beast quest, why don't you guys make it so Ezra would give you the psi device right away? It's extremely obtuse how you have to go see him again even though you already did so once.

Agreed. There is already too much backtracking in this quest unless you already know exactly what you're doing; making you go back to SGS yet again is silly and unintuitive.

« on: December 27, 2015, 06:13:09 am »

This seems intentional to me. I think the idea is that the burrowers are coming in through a hole in that part of the mine, and until you flood it, more will just keep coming no matter how many you kill.

Suggestions / your useless Coretech allies in the warehouse fight

« on: December 26, 2015, 06:21:33 pm »

The warehouse fight is already insanely difficult without these chuckleheads doing everything possible to screw it up: they abandon their easily-defensible position to run into the open and get one-shotted by sniper assholes, they run across flames and caltrops placed by the player, and they use adrenaline shots at the beginning of an extended battle which ensures they will be useless and fatigued for most of it.

Now, maybe fixing their AI to make them less stupid would be a difficult task. But here's a very simple suggestion to make them suck less: take the dang Adrenaline Shots OUT of their inventories! Then they will not use them, and they won't be FATIGUED and useless for most of the battle!
