A few short questions.

Post by scrubs2009 » #252874

1. Do tesla generators and singularity generators dissappear when they create the tesla or singularity?

2. How do you go about getting flames in a spraybottle? Whenever I try they combust inside the bottle.

3. For that matter, if I fill a grenade with potassium, water, and a stabilizing agent will it still go off when I toss it?

4. What is the radius of distance where a Tele beacon can put you? Can it teleport you 3 spaces away from the beacon? 4? 5?

5. Can multiple teslas occupy the same space?

6. How do you make a Russian Revolver?

7.What the heck is Carbon Dioxide?
Thanks, Kev.

I can answer a couple of these

1. Generators are consumed when they create their respective power sources


6. You cannot make them, they occasionally appear in the casino on metastation and scattered in maint on a few other maps as loot i think



7. A miserable pile of secrets

They are not bugged but its a obnoxious ordeal to get them open.

It involves using a stethoscope (snab one from medbay), then twisting until you hear a click and then going back and fourth until you can open the safe.

Usually you do it for the sake of doing it, not so for the loot.

I have to look into the code again but you're not just listening for click but particular sounds.

Grab your stethoscope and prepare for a good bout of safe cracking. When you're turning the dial and you hear the clinks, clanks, scrapes and otherwise, you're moving the tumbler inside of the safe. There are only two tumblers in the safe, and you need to force both into their correct positions in order to open it.

To figure it out, just start turning it one direction until you start to hear scraping. A turn to the left (The "-" button) will decrease the internal 'number' that the tumbler is adjusted to. A turn to the right (The "+" button) will likewise increase it. Unfortunately, this seems to be the part where it's freaking impossible to figure out; Which way do you turn? As far as I can tell it's down to luck. Here's a screenshot I took of me analyzing the safe and making the tumbler fall into position. AS SOON as I matched the number (Seen here as vars "tumbler_1_open" and "tumber_1_pos") it made a "Plunk" sound, IN ADDITION to the normal scraping. It probably makes other sounds when the tumbler hits position, as well.

As far as I can tell, if you -keep going- after this initial "-unk" sound, you can make a full cycle and actually start manipulating the second tumbler. This is the part where it gets tricky, as your window gets spammed with noises and when you near the correct position, you start hearing all sorts of plinks, scrapes and plunks.

EDIT: I sort of got it. The order you want to go in is "Right, Left, Right." Turn right until you hear a klunk, or a plunk, or a tonk. Turn left, it'll klunk and plunk, but go until you hear a clink, chink, plink. This locks the second tumbler into position. Turn right again, and you'll eventually see a bolded message of "Sproing!" or something similar. You did it!
Granted this is two years out of date so not garunteed to work anymore.

anyway
1.haha itd make infinite balls if it did that ur a dum noob lmao
2.haha you just use chlorine trifluoride mix it outside the bottle and then poor it in ur a dum noob lmao
3.haha no thats the point of stabilizing agent ur a dum noob lmao
4. haha it puts you directly on the beacon unless you use a hand tele then it puts you 1 tile away ur a dum noob lmao
5. haha why couldn't they ur a dum noob lmao
6. haha why would you think you could craft em ur a dum noob lmao

2. How do you go about getting flames in a spraybottle? Whenever I try they combust inside the bottle.
Put chlorine trifluoride in it.
3. For that matter, if I fill a grenade with potassium, water, and a stabilizing agent will it still go off when I toss it?
Yes. Stabilizing agent does not prevent the potassium-water reaction.
7.What the heck is Carbon Dioxide?
A reagent that you should fill yourself with 1000 units of shortly before consuming the reagents for smoke powder in a small room for fun times.
