Can not throw grenade?

[Narcoticano]

Hi,

I have read that you should be able to throw grenades with contraptions ability at 30.
My value is 43 but the icon for throwing grenades is still greyed out.

What do I need to do to be able to throw grenades?

Thanks a lot for constructive input!

The grenade to throw for one.

RMB - throw from the inventory or you can add grenages to your belt.
but you need BASE Contraptions skill ("original value") at least 30, for throwing grenages ability, without temporary/equipment bonuses. Hover your contraptions skill value for details

I was frantically searching for a way to throw my grenade last night, and just could not. I had the grenade in my belt, and when I clicked on it, the cursor just turned into its "nope, not here" incarnation, no matter where I pointed it. No explanation to be found. Same problem with trying to use weapon upgrade booklets/recipes, or whatever these things are. Also, how the journals/comic books work in detail (what does happen over 600 rounds?) is not explained anywhere I can find.
It's probably me. Or are there others like me who would appreciate something like an Encasedopedia in the game, or even a manual? I know, they are a hassle to maintain for the developers.

well again please check your Contraptions base skill (original value) in Character sheet.
Hover your mouse to skill value, "original value" must be enough to unlock skills (30/60/90 etc).
And THEN magazines and other bonuses add skill levels to skill checks, but it doesnt work if you dont have enough skillpoints invested in the certain skill tree. For grenages throwing its 30 in Contraptions. Not overall value (with bonuses), but "original" skillpoints spent.
Wiki or manual would be nice but I hope you solved this issue now (after thorough reading).

I was sure to have 47 skill in contraptions and a grenade and still could not throw it.
However, now it works. I have still less than 60 skill in contraptions but apparently adding one point solved the issue.

You need a specific skill to move your arm in that fashion? That's fking ridiculous. This game is frustrating.

Yeah, you need skill to be able to throw grenades, game does not tell you anything, it just acts confused if you try to do it without. And as vald already said, you need 30 in "base" skill, i.e. your stats + points you've directly put in to it, not counting traits and equipment bonuses. It's the same for all skills, only the base value unlocks new features and abilities.
