Had to quit my save, for some reason zombies kept repeatedly spawning offscreen no matter where I went. So imagine a perfectly clear safehouse, me going down a little ways to loot a house then suddenly there's a horde to the east and north of me. Ugh. I found so much that game. Turning off NPCs and wandering hordes this game though, see how that works out. Blackray Jack fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Apr 30, 2015 |

Blackray Jack posted:How would I go about diverting a horde? Shooting off a firearm while in a direction I want them to go to before simply taking a long route around back to where my house is? Trying to split them off piecemeal and fighting them mano-a-mano? Pray they go through? Do you have any landmines? I'm thinking some strategically placed mines and a few molotovs or incendiaries (or a burning building) in their path should thin the horde out quite a bit.

I appreciate the idea of making the world tougher as the game goes on, but shambling off to a new town and finding more master zombie grenadiers than I can shoot down even with a couple automatic guns just isn't fun.

If you have fire of any kind and can understand the concept of zombie-herding there's almost no situation you can't live through. Well unless you're an idiot like me and try to lure a horde of zombies into a forest fire deathtrap while it's raining buckets and trying to torch bushes with a lighter is STRANGELY not cutting the mustard. But then you just run away. Cardio, bitches. EDIT: Holy poo poo these melee styles... I just spent about forever clearing out a mall with a day 1 character and don't think I took a single hit. Well, until the switchblade I started with broke at least. A heavy stick didn't work quite as well. TerminalBlue fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Apr 30, 2015 |

something this game needs is the ability for polearm weapons to reach over two tiles and stab through grilles and such. I mean I dunno why I'd bother with a heavy rear end spear when a tanto can cut a bitch more efficiently. But if for instance there was some way for me to poke at zombies as they crawl through a window or stab them down as they're bunched up at a chainlink fence or w/e that'd be cool and good, even with the whole 'spear gets stuck' thing.

If I recall correctly I think this idea has been floated before but knocked back due to a lack of ideas of how to best implement it in the UI. Is it an extra command? Does it automatically stab something every time it can? etc. etc.

Make polearms function like the bullwhip, can be used to "shoot" things using melee skills.

I'd say make it so activating the pole arm causes you to 'jab' it, you than select a direction on the numpad and it applies your basic melee to that direction, stopping if you happen to hit a baddy or object on the tile between your maximum reach Also I think a great end-game enemy would be a moose-centaur that shoots you with poison arrows as it tramples you down in two steps

Putting together a Fusion Blaster Rifle was the best thing I've ever done in this game. Put in some earplugs and just clear out entire towns in a matter of minutes, because it only uses like 20 bionic power per shot, which is easily to get back with a joint torsion ratchet or indeed anything. It blows the zombies up and sets them on fire with every shot. And you don't have to charge it up like the charge rifle. I'm in love. Though I don't know if I can use it to clear a lab - that's probably pretty hazardous.

How would I go about raising construction from 1 to 2 without use of a book? Or would it be best if I did find one to raise it?

Dig holes, probably. Do whatever takes 1 construction, repeatedly.

It told me digging holes no longer gives me experience, though. EDIT: Yep, tried to deepen them to real pits, still no XP. EDIT: Alright what's good for taking survival from 2 to 3? Blackray Jack fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Apr 30, 2015 |

Cutting down trees and chopping them up is amazing for Construction. Foraging in foliage is amazing for Survival. Do both of those, a lot.

So to chop trees what's the most viable tool? Preferably something I could make while cavemanning it out in the middle of loving nowhere.

The daynight cycle actually changes with the seasons, so winter and early spring have less daylight than late spring or summer. Plus if your doing a lot of crafting or something then it'll make the day feel shorter. It's possible for an entire season to skip by in no time if you're in a serious cram session.

doesn't help I started as a mutant with octopus limbs so everything I do is slow as gently caress, still, that explains why the nights are exponentially longer than the days. Is there a means of waiting for extended periods without actually sleeping? I mean I got all the food and water I want but I can't move during the night without freezing my tentacles off and getting pissy because of it Motherfucker fucked around with this message at 07:20 on May 1, 2015 |

I didn't figure this out for the longest time, but consoles give enough light in a 1-tile radius to craft and read at night. There's always a working one in an evac shelter.

Ok question: I've been running around at night with the crappy 3x3 vision but now I can see up to 5x5 vision. What gives? I don't have any light sources active and this has been persisting for a few nights now. I also haven't been in any radiated areas as far as I can remember. I have no night vision ability or anything. EDIT: Never mind, must have been some crazy moonlight action. Blackray Jack fucked around with this message at 05:19 on May 2, 2015 |

I always clear out megastores nonlethally. It's pretty simple since it's basically a massive open floor with a wide entrance so you can just lure the horde out of the store and into a forest then ditch them. It's really handy early on when you can't handle extended heavy combat.
