In play
These are the questions that come up most, answered in a sentence or two. Every answer is backed by something the game itself defines, and the longer explanation is in the entry named beside it.
On a monster: it can be stopped without being destroyed, because stun arrives as a carried item, a thrown grenade and a placed mine, and a stunned monster is in a state of its own rather than gone.
On a fallen crew mate: reviving is done with a carried device rather than a command, so whether you can help depends on what the crew brought with them.
On getting out: the extraction point is a placed thing with an area of its own, and the truck has defined end-of-run states including one for every player being aboard.
On what you are carrying: batteries are items rather than a shared pool, and some equipment has a drain rate of its own, so what runs out depends on what you brought.
On talking: a player has a chat box with states of its own, and those states include being locked while starting the truck or clearing slackers, which is why the box is not always available.
On the shop: it is a place you return to between runs, with its own stock of items, and upgrades there are items rather than numbers.
What this list does not do is guess. Where an answer would need a number we have not verified, we say so rather than inventing one.
