Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Bugs

A rather unorganized list of known, unexpected behaviours of DUST, preferably with hints to solutions or at least workarounds.

Note: On this page, a Solution is characterized by providing an in-game resolution using available, unmodified game mechanics, while Workarounds require the use of third party tools, the console or other means to influence behaviour from outside of normal gameplay.

Bug description
Some munitions crafted by the Hand Loader perk will not be usable in any of the weapons.

This is a result of DUST overwriting some of the ammunition lists used for determining usable ammo for weapons introduced by the Gun Runners' Arsenal, without adding some of the GRA rounds back in.

The effect is not limited to Hand Loader craftable ammunition, and does affect other ammunition introduced by the GRA DLC as well.

Whether or not this is intended behaviour is not known.

Affected GRA Hand Load ammunition: Affected GRA non-Hand Load ammunition:
 * 20 Gauge. 3/0 Buck Mag. (Hand Loader) (GRA)
 * 12 Gauge, 4/0 Buck Mag. (Hand Loader) (GRA)
 * 9mm, JHP (Hand Load) (GRA)
 * 5.56mm, Match (Hand Load) (GRA)
 * 5mm, JSP (Hand Load) (GRA)
 * 12.7mm Round (Hand Load) (GRA)
 * 20 Gauge, Pulse Slug (GRA)
 * 20 Gauge, 3/0 Buck (GRA)
 * 12 Gauge, Pulse Slug (GRA)
 * 12 Gauge, Flechete (GRA)
 * 12 Gauge, Dragon's Breath (GRA)
 * 12 Gauge, 4/0 Buck (GRA)

Workaround A
The Fallout DUST GRA Ammo Fix available on the Nexus provides a mod for fixing the issue. Note the Known Issues section.

Workaround B
Use FNVEdit to add the missing GRA entries to DUSTs ammunition formlists by dragging them from the GunRunnersArsenal.esm to the DustSurvivalSimulator.esp. See this Reddit r/fodust thread for more information.
 * 1) Back up your game folder and your save games
 * 2) Using FNVEdit, locate the FormID List in DustSurvivalSimulator.esp. FNVEdit will automacially mark the lists with conflicting entries in rose (or whatever that colour is called ...).DUSTFVNEditHandLoad 001.jpg
 * 3) Select one of the lists with conflicting entries. The example screenshots use the contents of the AmmoList9mm.DUSTFVNEditHandLoad 003.jpg
 * 4) FNVEdit will mark missing entries in red. Drag the red entry or entries you want to be available in game again to the free cell in the adjacent DustSurvivalSimulator.esp column. You will need to confirm a warning in doing so.DUSTFVNEditHandLoad 003-0.jpg
 * 5) Close FNVEdit, saving the changed DustSurvivalSimulator.espDUSTFVNEditHandLoad 004.jpg

Bug description
Sneaking can actually increase the chances of being detected by Tunnelers.

Whether or not this is intended behaviour is not known.

Workaround
The Fallout DUST Tunneler Detection Fix mod available on the Nexus provides a fix for this behaviour.

Bug description
Ghost People can only be knocked unconcious, but not be killed. Dismembering them seems to be impossible.

This is not a bug.

Solution
Acquire the Ghost Hunter Regular perk.

Bug description
Despite raising the sanity level of the Survivor above Insane, the Insanity and Wild Wasteland perks are not removed, making the penalties connected to the Insanity perk irreversible.

Workaround
The Fallout DUST Cure all Effects of Insanity mod available on the Nexus provides a fix for this behaviour by introducing a new, craftable healing item. Note the effects listed, which are not limited to removing the Insanity and Wild Wasteland perks.
