Hey, I wanted to automate scrap metal since i'm in early game but the funnel won't let me insert coal (fossil chocolate) into the basic mining rig like I did with my coal production, is there a way to get around this?
(nevermind i fixed it, if anyone else runs into this problem, just make sure you have no stray items in the machine or else it won't actually use the coal)
That is correct! I did it on the bank! It's useful to have 2 exits lead to the same area so you can cover the area with just a single well placed smoke grenade. I'm sorry I failed to add that I used the AR, congratulations on completing hard! If you ever attempt this again, I highly recommend the AR since it can pop infecteds in only a few seconds and eliminate them (that is, make them float and no longer damage you) with only one dart of the 50 it spews in a single given second, by waving your cursor back and forth at a large cluster of infecteds it can eliminate them all with ease.
I've managed to beat hard, you have the right idea with the smoke grenades. Over the coming rounds leading to round 10 pile up a bunch of smoke grenades in the center of the map and on the round time between the switching of waves 9-10 toss them into all spawn locations and pray. This works sometimes because as the waves go on the amount of time it takes for the infecteds to spawn in goes down exponentially. If you happen to miss some infecteds and you're getting piled on, run towards a rapidly inflating infected and sandwich it and you against a wall to trigger the game to spawn you in a set location as a failsafe to get you unstuck, this can help or hurt you, so make sure there are no infecteds in that area before you preform this. If done correctly it can give you some breathing room and get you away from a horde.
There are several bugs and problems I am having. One being that when shooting the AR at those gas spawning clouds, the darts stay in place and don't despawn, basically leading to the next infected that walks out to pop instantly.
Another is the health pill thingies occasionally give you overheal (meaning your health raises over 100) and leads to your breasts and belly to no longer be visible until damaged again. I experienced this when using the achievement perk thing that makes the pills heal extra
Round 10 on hard is extremely laggy, when spawning the horde to the point my game nearly crashed.
On the map "the bank" near that alley with the easter egg you added, when inflating a blimp, it can be knocked out of reachable distance essentially bringing the game to an endless mode where you cannot progress the rounds.
Items tend to disappear when 2 infecteds are popped close to each other.
Finally, I would really appreciate the sawed off to be upgradable because it would make the thumper actually viable since you can't use it effectively from waves 1-5 because of self damage and god forbid an infected gets too close, you're helpless.
I would really like to see some of this adjusted in the next update, thank you!
