Kenshi Fact of the Day #49
-Don't go towards the light!-
In Venge there are short-lived beams which appear randomly between 5:00 to 23:00.
They move rather quickly (130 wandering speed, not to be confused with 130mph) and if you happen to get too close (As a non-robot/animal) you'll will take a ridiculous amount of cut damage through burning. But you probably already knew that...
But did you know that going inside of destroyed buildings actually protects you from the beams?
If you were starting out as a group of "Nobodies" and found yourself placed in the Venge destroyed waystation you could simply book it indoors until night. Well, if you're scared of a few pretty lights that is.
Not only destroyed buildings work, built ones do too! You might be thinking, "Well duh Frankie. Of course they would."
First of all, don't duh Frankie me.
Second of all I mean even the roofs.
I kind of modded there to be 400 beams at any given time (Usually there are 40) and for them to follow my camera... Don't do that. Even getting my mouse off screen was a struggle. Thankfully I got this screenshot before my game crashed.
Some of these facts will be shorter than others. I don't think I need to go into more detail about the dangers of touching the pretty death beams.
Thank you for reading :)
