Power Tubes

[GunofBrixton]

I would love to see more of them in the game, especially within Zam/Inf, or in the Healing machine area, or perhaps an option to get the guardians to make you them, or SOMETHING.

There is something like a use for 20 power tubes and only 6ish acquireable. It just feels like if they were so common an item, there would be more stored away to operate most their equipment.

Strongly disagree for the following reasons:
There's one in the outpost
Curio Trader sells one
You can get one as the reward for Power Armor quest
You can buy two at the Pass if you are part of Imperial Guard
There's two in the locked box in the sewers
There's one in the hangar
There are two at Hellgate
That's 10 total and while you might not get all of them on one playthrough (though it is very possible and I've done it before), you should be able to get most of them unless you play a pure talker character. If you do, you shouldn't complain that he/she cannot get to ancient artefacts by him/herself - such loremasters either get slaughtered in some shack in Teron or sit at the Maadoran Palace and have other people get those for them.
Pure talker can still get the power tube from the outpost, the curio trader, the hangar, two from Hellgate and one from Power Armor quest - that's 6 that are fairly easily accessible. Given the fact that he/she would have no need for Power Armor, that leaves three for the glove, one for the respirator and another one to either fix the smelter, open the hangar, or craft/use the bolter (I'd go with the hangar).

I want to like your reply. <3

Doesnt the respirator use 2 tho?

I'm pretty sure it's still just one. I can check tomorrow if you'd like (I think I have a pre-Abyss save I can easily locate).

naaah its not that important dont bother

I can confirm that even though it may somewhere that it takes two, it will only use one tube.

>There's one in the hangar
Couldn't find it :(

I think you need >6 Crafting for it? It's in the tubes beside the hangar door.

Let's sum it.
Get:
+1 Outpost
+2 Maadoran well
+1 Curio trader
+1 Power armor quest reward (a tricky one)
+1 Old site (6 crafting to get it from one of the wall tubes. If you fail you'll lose it for good!)
+2 Hellgate
+1 Dead river
+2 Harran pass (IG OR Aurelian praetor)
________
9(11)

use:
-3 Hand
-3 Power armor
-1 Old site
-1 Outpost (with 8 lore for blue steel and +10 SP)
-1 Crossbow
-1 Breathing mask
________
10

So it's a good chance that you'll be able to power everything (You'll want to be Praetor or IG eventually to explore Al Akia anyway). But in my last ultimate playthrough I ended up having 2 of them left as I didn't need the airship and Daratan bastards didn't let me in the Outpost.

Dead river is combat-only option. There are many human remains on the river bed and they contain 1 breathing mask, 1 power tube and some potions and other combat-oriented stuff.
Regarding the old site the wall tube you need is just before the big door. You'll need 6 (or wass it 7?) in crafting to get the tube and occasional skillcheck failure will lead to losing this one for good

Кстати, можно было и по-русски. Заполонили всё :)

There are actually 2 tubes in Maadoran trade district.

If you have high streetwise, talk twice to the blind loremaster who lives in a house near Abukar.
