Game tips

Spoiler (click to show/hide) - Generate a world through "design new world with advanced parameters" for proper experience (replicants, cybermancers, infected etc).

- NEVER mix different ranged weapon types in one squad, the people will be confused and pick wrong ammo. Assign proper ammo through the "m"ilitary screen, "f" key.

- Embark with "Mr. Gutsy" for early protection. Robots are tough and some have mounted plasma guns. Protectrons are even better. Put a pasture at your gate with some robots.

- Start by building scrapyards and scavenging Scrap piles (which replace most trees) and crushing rocks.

- Aboveground scrap piles (grow like trees) are a good source of different goodies, including pre-war crates and scrap metal.

- Find precious pre-war tech crates using scrapyard reactions and open them in "inventor's bench" workshop.

- Pre-war military crates may be a source of early guns and ammo, use it wisely.

- Get holodiscs/fuel rods from pre-war crates (low chance). Unlock new buildings in "Inventor's Bench".

- Remember that Scrap metal is your main source of metals, so surface scavenging nets a lot of metal.

- Normal trees are less frequent now, so if you have many scrap piles, keep some wooden logs in a separate stockpile/burrow to use them for sawmill/rifles.

- Sawmill can be very useful together with the new smelter reaction (5 wooden blocks into coal), because it gives you much more coal from trees. Useful for aboveground smelting/forging.

- Avoid bad weather. Rains and dust clouds can hurt your fort pretty well.

- Keep an internal water storage. Poisons and bad rains can contaminate outside water supplies (unless you have a running river).

- A few people with rifles (you can get some early from military crates) are the best early defense. Some animals are too tough in melee.

- Most of cave plants are unedible raw, so while cave fungi are great for making tea, bring some beets for eating.

- Milling wheat/albino wheat into flour and baking bread in the kitchen is a good source of food.

Note that if you play the "Create new world!" world, you will most likely miss all cyborgs, cybermancers, radioactive rains, radioactive clouds etc. because they will be replaced by vanilla stuff. Play through the "Design new world with advanced parameters" option, all worldgen settings are already adjusted there.

- Vault dwellers- Wastelanders- Ghouls- Master's army (supermutants)- Cannibals- Raiders- Nightkin- EnclaveThere are crossbows, pump-action guns and rifles. Crossbows are bad vs armor. From the start you can make crossbows only. Pump-action guns shoot pellets which are weaker than bullets but do not require gunpowder to make. To get pump-action guns, rifles and ammo, you have to research gunsmith's forge blueprints.* New main source of income: scavenging. Scrap piles replace most trees, use trappers in scrapyard to scavenge after you "cut" them down with your woodcutters.* Dug rocks can be crushed in scrapyards for less profit than from scrap piles.* Scrap metal can be smelted into different metals, but there's a chance that you will get nothing.* New soil types: raised mire, swamp peat, blanket mire.* New fuel type "compact peat", appears in new soils.* New mineral "goethite" (bog iron), 50% to get an iron from it, appears in new soils.* New gold/copper alloy, "orichalcum", an iron-grade metal.* Just one type of pewter.* Vanilla gems are replaced with a few types of gem, junk, nails, wiring and computer parts. Cut gems/junk are called "polished ...". No more "wiring cabochons".* Vampires are replaced by replicant, synthetic humans which require real blood dozes to function.* Werewolves are replaced by infected who can turn other into infected through a bite.* Mummies and necromancers are replaced by reanimated cyborgs and cybermancers who can shoot cranial guns and use nanites to reanimate husks.* There are radioactive rain and radioactive dust clouds in savage areas; also there are dust storms everywhere.Worldgen options suited for the theme of the mod, including the "real world" worldgen.Prospect rocks and scrap piles for crates, open them for ammo, drugs, medical equipment, scrap, fuel rods and holodiscs.Use holodisks from "pre-war tech crates" in "Inventor's Bench" workshop to get blueprints.- Research biofuel -> biofuel refinery blueprints.- Research chemistry -> chemistry lab blueprints.- Research electrical furnaces -> arc furnace blueprints.- Research firearms -> gunsmith's forge blueprints.- Research furniture crafting -> furniture workshop blueprints.- Research power sources -> generator blueprints.- Research sawmill -> sawmill blueprints.- Research virus manipulation -> virology lab blueprints.- Research waste disposal -> sewage plant blueprints.- Arcade- Arc Furnace (requires blueprints and a fuel rod)- Biofuel Refinery (requires blueprints)- Chemical Lab (requires blueprints)- Computer Terminal- Display Case- Furniture Workshop (requires blueprints)- Generator (requires blueprints and a fuel rod)- Gunsmith's Forge (requires blueprints)- Inventor's Bench- Overseer's Chair- Scrapyard (IMPORTANT!
