How many times do Jammer and I need to warn you about the dangers of getting high around open flames? It's called Jet-Fuel for a reason!

Caught these guys just wandering. They were also singing:

Okay they weren't but I thought it would be funny if they had been.

Also, quick question for you guys. Do you know if there is a way to have FO output pics in a jpg, as opposed to a PNG? I feel kinda bad uploading all these 3-5mb pics every time. Or is online hosting nowhere near as bad as it used to be?

Hahaha,
The robot song.
The humans are dead! Yes they are dead!
 
I use the Steam Overlay to take screenshots; they're always JPGs. Of course, I have to wonder if the Steam Overlay might be causing some of my performance issues.

Duh! That didn't even occur to me. I have the overlay on all the time but never use it. I might do some testing. Also are those advanced weapons tied to the Conqueror questline? Actually, don't tell me, I'm loving the surprises!

Also, @RayBo, I better be forthright and point out that the song is a reference to NZ's favourite sons, Flight of the Conchords, and not of my own artistic brilliance. Though... I do have some patriotic pride, that's something. Lol. The song is amazing.

I use the Steam overlay all the time. As I understand it, the difference is in the output. The default 'print screen' does not have any ENB in it and it's output as a PNG file. The Steam overlay (f 12) for screenshots outputs the pic as a jpg. Plus it captures with the ENB data with a smaller file size. One thing about using either is that the computer needs a couple seconds to render the image depending on resolution.
 
@Grim Experiments Usually I don't let it get that far. I tend to deal with Finn in a more 'personal' matter. Gut him like a fish, then clone his corpse. He makes a good bartender.

Meantime...

Gotta love Cue...
Dom protests, "But... but... fires are fun!!"

Oh, and ignore Clone Aiden's appearance. Interesting, he's supposed to be working the shooting range at the other side of the outpost rather than looking after a more critical operation. Seems like SS has started reassigning people again, a bug seen a couple patches back. Maul's also been dis-assigned from his kennel, and now it won't let me assign him back. So, a couple of bugs creeping back into the system with 4.1.2.
 
@Grim Experiments Cue is from Industrial Revolution. If you've seen any of Kinggath's Forever Let's Play, he shows Cue and some of the stuff related to him on camera.

The other guy's a clone of someone rather important. Or at least, he 'thinks' he's someone important. Dom has a rather different opinion on the matter and takes great pleasure in slapping a shock collar on him and showing him the error of his ways.

Portable Cloning Device is an absolute must in my load order. The device allows me to clone just about ANYONE. Think there's maybe a handful of NPCs I've not been able to clone with it. It makes a perfect copy of the NPC, except that they're settlers, have the WorkshopNPC script attached, and so can be assigned to any settlement. Only thing, they lose their voice (it gets set to a default settler voice), so it's only the character physically.

But still, an entire army of Kelloggs, or Hancocks, or... you get the idea.

@Grim Experiments @1ae0bfb8 Like I said, it's an absolute must-have in my load order.

My current campaign, I set up Sunshine Tidings Co-Op with 4 mega-farms (the 3x3 plots), set up 2 advanced industrial plots -- one an Iron Mine, the other a sawmill. They're needed to set up a tool & die shop so I can unlock level 4 farms.

I generally clone dead gunners for my population, just because... or later, dead minutemen, also, just because. Attack my outposts, will you? :skull

Then, I revisit the settlement with my crew. Now this time, I forgot to set up a few martial plots, so I had to manually assign a few guys & gals to stay as guards, but the martial plots were corrected later on.

At this point, Sunshine Tidings produces most of the rations--none of my other vassals come close; it's nuts. I just unlocked the level 4 farms, so an extra 25%, I think. A good thing, considering I just took Ergret Tours Marina. 11 more mouths to feed (although they have a number of farm plots -- default RotC city plan at level 1)

So yep, Portable Cloning Device is a requirement. Makes city building progress just a little quicker.
