There are three things that we ask you to do whenever you can: improve and update existing pages, help with current projects and correct language mistakes whenever you spot them.
Everyone's help is welcome. If you feel like contributing a lot, it is great but remember: quality is much more important than quantity; for example, it is much better to write one good article than a hundred bad ones.
For information on how to write new articles or edit existing ones, please follow this link.
What needs to be done
Changelogs
The following extracts from some of the latest official changelogs list modifications to the game that are not yet represented in the relevant wiki articles. You can help by updating these articles using the information the extracts contain.
Please remember to remove from this page the parts of the changelogs that no longer need to be used.
| Changelog 24/11/2012

FIXES:
- "In Your Face!" perk works again.

- Bugged tobacco plants can no longer be found in encounters and some other maps.
- Old Warehouse special encounter wasn't deleted in some circumstances after all players left the location.

- Implemented large doors opening/closing more than one hex. At the moment, the following doors work this way: Vault City gate, metal gate in Broken Hills, gates in outpost bases.

FIXES:
- Travelers (unhired companions) should no longer get stuck with "they seem to be busy" in bars.
- Motion sensor no longer displays message that it has been depleted after turning it off while there are charges left.
FEATURES:
- NPCs now use doctor skill to heal their injuries.
CHANGES (WIP):
- In Your Face perk now works with nonranged weapons that have the range of two hexes. Also, carrying another weapon in the second slot does not nullify the perk's effect anymore.
- Changes to Armor system:
Armors no longer lose their DT/DR values with lower condition.
Instead armor has a chance to receive "partial bypass" on critical as well as non-critical hits - chance to be bypassed for each bullet when condition goes under 50%
Chance for each bullet to bypass is calculated by formula (50-condition)*2%. (e.g. 0% bypass chance at 50% condition, 50% chance at 25% condition, 100% chance at 0% condition)
"Partial bypass" has no effect on traditional critical hit bypass.

- Lowered base prices of barley (5 caps), tobacco (40 caps) and fruits (10 caps).
