    Canned dog food. For 1 END perk (good doggy), each can of dog food restores 37% of your hunger. And dog food is everywhere.

    Embrace your inner canine.

    That, or become a cannibal. Then you don't have to carry food at all... just shoot someone. >.>

    Can confirm: cannibal perk is awesome. Unless you’re fighting only robots, but usually there’s plenty of meat to go around, especially since there’s now human enemies to gobble up

    And corn is way too valuable for making adhesive to use it for eating. :lol:

    I find so much adhesive that I just sell it in bulk.

    Besides making my sunroof garden (Which I need farmable tiles for) I think my camp design is coming along.

    I started chasing magazines and Tesla number 1 is the only one I’m missing now, too bad buying them doesnt fulfill the challenge of finding them... And the fact that displaying them takes considerable camp storage.

    Or three eyes. That joke is a gimme.

    I don't have the plans to make the little flat platform thing to make a farming plot, I guess I need to look that up.

    Is the radium rifle any upgrade to the .308?

    Farmable Tiles is what you are looking for, its from Foundation, 500 gold.

    I got this from a mole miner event.

    No. It's pretty terrible since radiation damage isn't great against highly irradiated mutants and ghouls, and I believe even heals them.

    I got a Gamma Gun the other day with increased damage to ghouls...

    Edit: Bethesda is going to remove the legendary prefix on the Free Radical Mask because after 3 weeks its suddenly deemed a mistake...? Its apparently also unfair to people who missed it (takes an hour to get it on an alt) but fair for people to have to spend 5650 gold for the Stealth Suit if they missed that.

    Should just have let people roll legendary prefixes on all helmets for legendary modules instead.

    I think there was a new non daily/weekly challenge added to gather nuclear flora? I had 0/76 on it and it gave 80 atoms pretty fast since there were 3 nuked areas on the server I joined.

    Right.

    I only use power armor in very specific situations though and I'm abit tankier in ballistic defense without it so I usually forego it unless I know I'm going to be drowning in energy beams or raditiation. Fusion cores are usually pretty cheap in player vending if I don't feel like grinding them.

    Excavator is a thing of beauty once you mod the arms and legs to get even more extra carry weight. It can go from +100 to 210.

    Caved and got 76. Weird getting used to the food and water system, but I guess it's not *terribly* onerous (if there's a way to sort food by how close it is to spoiling that I missed, please let me know). The amount of lag on waiting for hits to register and in dialog makes things wonky but I'm not sure if I'm just getting servers that aren't ideal for my location.

    I finally got my refund after an actual person responded, thats after two weeks of automated bots telling me I didnt put in enough info.

    I have a bunch of atoms now after chasing challenges, hope they get some interesting things today, like the Corvega Purifier skin and some stairs that isnt Nuka red.

    I would kill to get my hands on plans for a normal, wood staircase.

    New stuff in the shop are up now, there is a premade wooden cabin set with fireplace, wallpapers and an icebox, not much new that interest me, there is an icebox sold by itself too but it only slows down spoilage by 50% and has to be in your camp.

    No stairs or Purifier skins, no Hubris comic book stands that I wanted, this FOMO shit is tiresome, I’ll probably have moved on to a new game by the time they get around to rotate any of the stuff I want in.

    If you buy parts of a set you dont even get a discount if you buy the full set later on and they dont sell all parts of sets individually, like the porch from that one set.

    Guess I’ll buy that Gravestone at least.

    ESO does the same thing. Put stuff up on the store, take it off the store, bring it back later "for a limited time"... it's frustrating as fuck. Just put stuff up there and I'll buy it.

    I've always been a bit shocked with how much "content" they have created, but how little of it they sell in their store.

    Yeah, most of the stuff I want is stuff thats been sold in the year I didnt play apparently, only reason I know about them is from seeing the stuff in other players camps.

    I really want that Industrial Purifier skin in particular and some other stair types, not a fan of rust look, almost bought the Nuka stairs but bright red stairs do not really fit in my camp.

    It seems really dumb that the Log Cabin set isnt a cabin building set and just another “Seedy Shed” type.

    Also I assumed that this new watermill generated power, seems its just a decoration.

    I'm... not sold on this. I like it in ESO, and I like that you can go where you want in Tamriel, but at the same time - you never, ever feel like you're getting any better/stronger.

    And I like the idea that you can't just skip out of the vault and immediately go wherever the hell you want without getting wrecked.

    Hm.

    I think Fallout's design can handle this. The danger in an area is more defined by the monster type in Fallout, so a Level 20 deathclaw can still wreck me at level 60.

    It also might avoid that annoying thing where by some point every mutant is a master or higher because that's the monster for my level. This lets them keep the mooks and leaders design throughout.

    Interior instanced CAMPs sound fun, as that presumably means a much larger CAMP size. Also looking forward to Brotherhood of Steel questlines. I recommend everyone jump on Meat Week when it hits since you can easily level up pretty fast just by hanging out playing some drums with other players. Posting the road map for everyone:

    Instanced interiors must mean much longer CAMP space. Yessss.

    I really hope its not just "interiors" though. In ESO, you could have a nice front yard/themed zone and a house all in the same space. Hoping this is the same.

    The way it looks to me is that you'll have your CAMP, then a door that takes you inside, similar to the Overseer's house. I'm going to assume they'll probably have prefabs that we then decorate, with different themes...all thought it would be really cool if they did allow you to sort of freebuild different rooms from a collection of preset shapes.
