Ice Hole Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 When looking for Battery there are some vehicles that do not give them away. Car with front end damage has no option to lift the hood. Truck not only do not give Battery away. Truck tease you showing Battery. The one discovery made is concerning Battery against Bear. It is possible to scare Bear away using Battery gang. Battery would like to say that is not truthful. To scare Bear does not take four and it takes Battery Five. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering the same thing. Same, LMB does not pick them up, only RMB to move them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it out When you RMB items, its weight is now added to your own. Prior to that, it was advantageous to carry a heavy object around by RMBing it, instead of picking it up, because that essentially allows you to carry it for free. Back then I noticed if I had an item RMBed, and I walked up to an area transition that you could walk through, the RMBed item was automatically forced into my inventory. I haven't bothered to do that since Hinterland fixed the "RMBed items are weightless" exploit, but I tried it again with the battery and yup. It goes right into your inventory. It has to be an area transition that you walk through, such as the rail tunnel connecting ML and FM. Presumably an explorable cave would work as well, although I haven't tried that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never bothered to try this, never saw a reason too. But might be fun to play with, just for Science. Pretty sure Hinterland will increase the weight to a more "realistic" one when this is added to the game, so time to play now, before it changes. The differing states of decay make good sense, since IRL car batteries do decay, and become more and more unable to hold a charge over time, and under certain circumstances. Otherwise we would never need to replace them with new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Hole Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Battery was stubborn and did not want to leave the vehicle. The situation was grim. Went to church and prayed for slavage-tion. Back in business baby! Battery Logistics When moving Battery it is easiest to just lug them. It takes the most in game time and real time. The best method to move a Battery group is 'leap frog'. Stand behind and place Battery from the back to the front. A variation is the 'side leap frog'. Stand adjacent to the Battery group and place Battery from the back to the front. This is demanding on the user but the advantage is this will move a Battery group quickly. Collecting Battery It is electrifying! Battery Tally Milton - twelve. Pleasant Valley - nine. Coastal Highway - eight. Desolation Point - three. Crumbling Highway - one. Broken Railroad - one. Battery Tally total is thirty four.

Ice Hole Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Thought I was collecting Battery for fun? AvE is just the right type of crazy canuck the Long Dark deserves. In this episode Battery is given an autopsy. Sorry Battery we need your body for scientific experimentation. The information obtained is that antimony is added to the plumbous to fabricate the plates. This is great for the purpose of crafting slugs as the resulting alloy is stiffer than plain plumbous. Now to figure out where to find the ingredients for the propellant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Hole Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 This seems very serendipitous or I am being google-watched. Never did a search ever for this topic and today this pops into my video feed. King of Random. Seems kinda of focused content to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frickoffanddie Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 If you drag any item into an area-transition zone, it'll go into your inventory. This is to prevent items being stuck past the warp point, unable to be picked up. This is the only way to get unobtainable items like the car battery into your inventory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePancakeLady Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Just having a little fun today. Tested with one battery, will have to see what happens with multiples. The game is very picky about where you can place a battery on top of an open car hood, but right at the front edge seems to be allowed. Then close the hood. We'll see if it stays hanging there through a save and exit, and is still there when I go back in again. Yes, I am tired, and not well caffeinated yet. When I am, I may regret doing this. Then again, I may not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProsPex Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I'm not able to remove a battery from a car. Did one of the releases remove this action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
