Several questions + bug reports

Hey Solaris32, glad you're enjoying it so far! And thanks for the detailed feedback!I actually have a long reply to this ready to go, but I'm getting a weird 403 error when I try to post it. Give me a few minutes to see if I can figure out what's going on with the forums.

Could be a timeout. I'm also seeing some security errors pop up in the logs, so posts may be tripping the security filters.Fortunately, I copy+pasted my reply into a text file before hitting the "Reply" button!Bugs

1. For the "OX News" newspaper capitalization, was it the "Police in a downward spiral" and "Vats for Dinner, Mom?" ones? I found those two, and updated the caps, so they should make it into the next beta build upload. 
2. Lighter fluid is sort of a special item, in that it can only go in lighters and on the ground. So it won't let you drop it in the backpack directly, only inside a lighter.

Questions

1. The "Rest and Heal" option is very slow. It can take days to heal, even as a medic. I wanted to try a healing game mechanic that wasn't based on healing potions, and was a little more gritty and realistic. So you can heal that way, it just takes time. You also heal while moving, so you don't have to sit still. I just added that button for people who don't want to keep clicking "End Turn" if they want to heal a while. Your best bet, if you need to heal, is unfortunately the hard-to-acquire nanorobot medical kit. It's a suitcase with 1-3 charges that rapidly accelerates your healing rate for a few hours when consumed.
2. Animal corpses can be skinned and cooked, but you need certain tools and skills. To skin one, you'll need at least a multitool knife and an unspoiled corpse. Trapping skill gives you the fur when you're done too. Combine these in the crafting grid to get the output. Once skinned, you can combine a flame/fire, squirrel meat, and a branch to get cooked squirrel meat. Note: even cooked meat spoils pretty quick! Rotten squirrel corpses are, unfortunately, not good for much. You can eat them for restoring hunger, but I don't advise it :)
3. That's my fault. I meant to create random crafting hints on scraps of paper, and spread them throughout the game like I did with newspapers. I just ran out of time. I still plan to add it to the beta soon, though. Until then, I encourage forum posters to share their discovered recipes, and to suggest new ones! (Free crafting tip: tinder + lighter for fires, and create purified water by combining a metal saucepan/soup can, fire, and unidentified water). Regarding water in the bottle, regular containers like the water bottle, lighter, and backpack, just add/remove items to them directly. No crafting needed. The water bottle is worth $6 if the water inside is purified. Otherwise, it's only worth $2. Nobody pays good money for potentially infected water :)
4. Did the lighter say how many charges it had? A lighter with fluid inside it can be used in crafting fire. If empty, though, it doesn't do anything. To add fluid to the lighter, you drop the fluid onto it directly, or into the capacity grid for it (if it's held in your hand).

Again, lots of good questions and comments. Let me know if I missed anything!

Pah! You would disclose the top secret crafting recipes I already figured out >_<Lighters VS. Lighter Fluid:From what I've seen so far, the lighter maxes out at 100 charges. If your lighter has 70 and you have a pile of 40 fluid charges, you just can't put it in the lighter with the stack option on. I've had no difficulties putting fluid in the lighters so long as it doesn't go over 100.I figured out how to purify water. Lose water in a pot over a fire and so on. It appears to quench a little more thirst than the non purified variety. Haven't noticed any issues drinking questionable water other than it doesn't quench as much. Here's my question regarding the issue:Is there a way to remove water from a bottle to the 'loose' state so it can be purified? If there is, I haven't figured it out.

the hex map hot key (w) isn't working. great game btw!
