After a huge run of hoarding and grinding, I have managed to acquire 4 spring artifacts (as well as 1.5M rubles :D). You'd think, "Hey, 4 artifacts at 33% impact resistance apiece, that means 132% resistance! Falling should heal me now!"
<b>WRONG</b>
Even the slightest fall that would cause damage is now <i>magnified</i> by a huge amount, causing even small 3 meter falls to be fatal. Owch. I'd hate to see what happens if I ever manage to find a fifth spring...

That is definitely a bug, you should either gain health or not lose health at all.
You can report this to the developers, there is an upcoming patch.

Oops, I was stupid...I forgot I had a mod active when I tried this...nevermind, no bug here...

Glass bones as an artifact side effect? Scary...
Gotta try this with radiation :o
EDIT : Scratch that since there arent Radiation resistance artifacts (lalala wishful thinking?). Nevertheless, fun frolicking around in dark red radiation grade areas with 3 Fireballs and 2 Crystals active. Gonna try getting 5 Crystals c.c

you know that if you manage to put in artifacts of the SAME positive effect
on, say, radiation or electricity and their sum gives you >100% protection
you can just walk into a anomaly of that type and YOUR SUIT GETS REPARED.
it's not a good exploit because at the time you have those good artifacts horded you already have such a good suit it doesn't age/break that quick. but a fun fact nonetheless

As stated above, that trick doesn't work with radiation because there are no radiation resist artifacts, only those which purge it from your system in the same way that antirad does.

The purge however, could be fast enough that the yellow line never gets taller than a few millimeters. The question is if there are artifacts in the game that can in a group 5, offer enough purge rate to make you immune to radiation.
steo on 27/5/2007 at 17:51
But no matter how fast the purge was, your suit would never get repaired by it like mothra said.
Bjossi on 27/5/2007 at 17:56
That wasn't my concern personally, I was just wondering if you can, without any cheats or exploits, attach 5 artifacts to belt that make you immune to radiation damage in every area of the game's world.

The max would be 150% purge rate from 5 crystals/urchins (5x30%). When i did that "experiment" i had 120% (2x30% crystal, 3x20% fireball). Guess it depends on the area. If the purge rate is faster than the rate the radiation gets worse youd be kinda "imune". Being at deep red required me to chomp a medkit every 15-20 secs or so (very raw numbers).
Would be funny if you'd become radioactive yourself after soaking enough. Glowing like a christmas tree sure would make those labs less creepy :cheeky:
