Overview[]
- v1.30013 - 1.4005:
- The Doughboy is the Kolobok as seen in the Base Game but has been seriously reduced in effectiveness.
- Practically impossible to find in the wild.
- 1.4007:
- Changed property set, parent anomaly and name.
- Remains practically impossible to find in the wild.
Notes[]
- v1.30013+
- May be found in one stash in Rostok Factory, but obtaining the coordinates for this building site stash is challenging.
- v1.4005:
- There were several colourful variants of this artifact that could be 'cheat spawned'.
- v1.4007:
- Only one variant remains.
- This is a partially coded artifact ("af_tree_fluff") that uses the Doughboy / Kolobok base.
- The coding does not extend to providing "Tree Fluff" with a unique name, so should one be acquired, it is also named "Kolobok" in inventory.
- Due to the lack of coding "Tree Fluff" is not instrumentally detectable by the player.
Trivia[]
- v1.30013 - 1.4005:
- The "Doughboy" is an essential component in the Artifact Merger synthesis of the Compass artifact.
- The Encyclopedia reference to this recipe refers to the Kolobok.
- Fortunately, the Artifact Merger itself, when the recipe has been obtained, correctly references the Doughboy as a requirement.
- v1.4007:
- Recipe cut.
