What did my character paint himself?

[Pilgor]

Not to long ago in this game, I found a new drawing and a bucket of red paint. Now my guy is all red. I don't know how useful that is. But there was use the use button on the paint bucket, then I was painted in the paint. Can someone explain to me the use of my guy being painted red? I don't think it makes him sneaky. It's red, like blood, so I'm sure he'd stick out if he tried to hide. I don't even know if the paint can wash off.

I've been playing with the cannibals off because they are so strong and nosey. They are so annoying.

The red paint makes cannibals less likely to attack you, or more likely to flee if you do end up fighting them.

Oh, I didn't know red paint scared them. Thanks for telling me :D But does it scare the monsters?

If you mean the big ones (Armsie, Virginia, the fat one) then no, the paint means nothing to them as far a I know.

Ive never noticed a difference in relation to mutants. I do know for a fact it works semi consistantly on all forms of cannibals, just not mutants since they never flee.

Yeah, the mutants don't care they will wreck the player's base! ;n;

Often, they'll literally bow down to you if you're painted red.

So if they see be covered it red paint, they won't ask the mutants to wreck my houses?

They won't exactly stop, mutants probably don't even come by their orders. Plus, the cannibals aren't 100% friendly towards you, they'll attack you occasionally, they react differently if you have a weapon out or not, but if you scare the ♥♥♥♥ out of em, by doing stuff like waving around flares and stuff, they won't like you, and they'll bow to you. It works better if you stand on a rock or something, somewhere where you're higher then them, cause they won't attack you up there (Probably cause they see you higher then them or something) and if you walk up to them while they kneel, they'll get up and back away. But the problem is, they won't stop following you, you'll either have to lose em somehow, or kill em. Also, red paint washes off in rain and in water. So.. That's a bit of a problem. But, good news. Go back to the spot you found the paint (I think you might have to load a save for this) and the paint will be back there, paint yourself again. And I think you can kinda hide a bit from mutants by using mud. For me, mutants just started showing up, and they wouldn't stop showing up, then they just stopped. As if the cannibals had realized that wasn't working, and decided to run after ya. I'm not sure if it works with dem damn skinny dudes, but I think it does. You can make them bow to you and then slice em into pieces while they're distracted if you want. >:3

Back when I played the game more often to me it seemed the cannibals would get annoyed that they can't attack me because I built my house up high, so to deal with it, they sent a mutant to wreck my house! It took HOURS! to get it built, including the stairs I had to build up to it. It was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! The only safety I got was swimming out to the yacht. The mutant was pissed, but didn't get in the ocean. And I REALLY don't wanna make a seperate save just to paint myself over and over! I don't see how that save can help me keep progress. I wish I could send a freaking nuke to that island! Stupid cannibal bastards! Stupid mutants! And I can't make ANY progress with any of the enemies active. I can only play in peaceful mode to progress. Otherwise I'm stalked and kidnapped or hunted by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mutants! It takes SOOOO long to do ANYTHING! Geez, I think I'm regretting getting this game. It's unfair for the enemies to be so much stronger! UNFAIR!
