Railway stations are populated and stuff now, but they're just there, there's no tracks between towns or anything.

The lab tracks sometimes connect, though! also gently caress zombie bio-operators

Still kind of cowardly at the moment - tried to shoot my way through a Triffid swarm that was on the road, figured I had ammo to burn. I mowed down a lot of them, but I took a little wound and decided to nope out of there rather than stick around and finish them all off. Do animal-ish monsters like giant ants not attack or chase you if you don't get close? There's a bunch of ants on the road ahead of me, I think I would prefer to take a detour around them, and they don't seem to be chasing after me. EDIT - welp, I think they've blocked off the bridge. I might have to shoot through. EDIT EDIT Guess not. Even the hostile ones aren't too enthusiastic about chasing me. Managed to walk through.

Chobayt posted:Are rail stations not weird and half-implemented anymore? I drove around one a few games ago and it wasn't connected to a rail-line and looked to just be full of snacks, periodicals and a crapton of zombies. I threw on the "Remove rail station" mod and haven't looked back. Hopefully they fixed them or there are different kinds of rail-station and you didn't just lose a run over the chance to loot chips, soda and comic books. They're still in that state in stable at least, but it was ~in character~ because she was a soldier who had a military ops map that highlighted the station and like, nowhere else so I was pretending like her orders were to rendezvous there.  E; animals can be dramatically unpredictable in whether they will aggro you or not tbh. Ms Adequate fucked around with this message at 18:37 on May 13, 2020 |

It depends on the animal but most will ignore you unless you get too close or are injured and it's a predator of some sort. If they're intent on chasing you and they're faster than you they won't back off unless you hurt them or scare them some other way, I think fire works for some/most normal animals? edit: Gauge your reaction on the animal. Fox chasing you? Throw something at it or hit a few times and it'll probably back off. Moose? Shower it in a hail of gunfire, grenades, molotovs and spells while you ram it with your murderhome.

Moose used to be incredibly arbitrary, but apparently nowadays they're only seriously aggressive during mating season in the fall. Ants are kind of a special case, in that the workers will generally leave you alone, unless you make any kind of loud noise, at which point they go berserk. I have no idea what counts as a loud noise, and do my best to not find out. If they're acid ants, I generally just nope the gently caress out and find a different area of map to explore, because they're going to get you killed one way or another.

I've just went through the multi-day process of scrounging enough steel to make an anvil without the luxury of having a dump where I can easily get the materials from. While doing that I noticed that smashing cars for materials only seems to work on certain tiles. On other tiles my sledge did nothing to the car and the log said that I couldn't damage the pavement. Is there any logic as to which car tiles are smashable and which just make me hit the pavement?

If you've the tools, I've always just used a few steel or heavy duty frames instead of lumps of steel to make an anvil, which you can get by deconstructing the various vehicles. If you've already got your crucible made and either a forge or a welder, you can disassemble steel frames into lumps or chunks of steel too.

I've noticed the same behavior; I haven't tested it but my guess is it's for the same reason you can't remove a frame that would leave disconnected vehicle tiles. Try starting at ends and systematically smashing towards the middle

Wolfechu posted:Moose used to be incredibly arbitrary, but apparently nowadays they're only seriously aggressive during mating season in the fall. one time a boomer apparently pissed off a hive with a lot of acid ants. Looting a house on the outskirts of a city when I heard and then spotted a boomer, as well as a gaggle of zombies, which I really did not want to have to deal with, so I dipped and took what I had back to the car. There were ants near by that I spotted on the way in, but they were just workers, I think I didn't spot all of them though. I'm not sure about the details because I hosed off shortly after hearing the boom but when I came back the next day, acid was everywhere on the grass and various surfaces and there was a pitched battle going between the remaining zombies of all types in a large-ish city and a nearby hive which had apparently decided that they were some kind of threat I really don't know why or how this happened, or even that it was possible to begin with; but the aftermath was something to behold. a couple houses were half melted and there were puddles of acid EVERYWHERE. unlike eyebots, zombies can and will attack, and hurt, ants; also unlike eyebots, the hive has some kind of intelligence. I think the hole was two? three? grid squares away from the outskirts of the city, so I can't explain why there was still a pitched melee going on otherwise 24 hours later. It was close enough for workers and a couple soldiers to come close enough in the first place I guess? I'm just not sure it would have happened if I hadn't aggroed the boomer in the first place, even if I didn't realize I had aggroed it until I started to flee in the first place. e: clarity HiroProtagonist fucked around with this message at 01:37 on May 14, 2020 |

Right now certain foods are just better or worse than others for having better morale boosts. But I'd love the variety of like... okay, this character's favorite candy is those peanut butter ones and he gets like +20 morale so you end up hoarding those things as the last good memory of a crumbling world. Or someone who can't stand apples, or who really enjoys ice cream, or whatever. Even if the randomization was per-food, so you didn't get any bigger trends (like 'hates sweets but loves salty snacks'), it would still be a welcome change because everyone would have just a little something that makes them unique. As it is, everyone has the same favorite meal if you go by morale.

For the first time I have a decent run going; my character's survived about a week and has light survivor armor and decent skills. I've noticed that lots of food is starting to spoil. I found a dehydrator and dried some fruits, and I've been living on scrambled eggs and deluxe sandwiches. I'm trying to come up with a plan for food security, and could probably use some advice. Hunting some animals and making jerky in the smoker or dehydrator is probably a decent idea, but I'm not sure if that is enough. There's always the possibility of striking out on hunting trips, too. There's lots of jarred veggies and such laying around that I'm starting to hoard, but I fear this character being doomed by something as lame as starvation.

Set up a charcoal kiln using rocks, cut down a tree and fill the kiln, you'll have thousands of units of charcoal. Find or make a charcoal smoker. Find a (dairy farm), kill and full-butcher a cow. Make excessive amount of sausages.

Okay, gunning down dozens of triffids that were in my way might not have gotten me any loot, but it was a fun way to deal with being overloaded. Plus it's good practice, and I'm running stats through skills and stats through kills, though I don't know how much they're all worth or how to keep track of my kill points. I think I need to dump some my empty magazines - I feel compelled to hoard, but the whole heap of them weighs a ton. Still marching down the road, about two weeks in, yet to find a city. Did find a recipe for a makeshift arc welder, but I'm short on copper wire and power converters.

It's day 83, still no city, but I managed to score a mostly intact RV - it had a faulty engine, but I managed to strip it out and replace it with a car engine from a nearby wreck. Low on gas, but at least it's running, just have to hope I can find more to siphon.

Usually you find them in cities where there is plenty of cover; break line of sight and you're fine. As for Riotbots, they make A LOT of noise; just kite them into zombie territory and come back later. Their riot gas does squat to the undead so they'll go down eventually.

Weird bug I'm noticing in latest experimental where some items are in the negative quantity and you can't pick them up or put them down if they somehow get into your inventory. Attempting to remove these eggs from the fridge also adds -1 to the value each time I try. Wondering if this is how I hatch 40000 chickens

Does it add negative weight and/or volume? If it does that might be worth the trouble of making it impossible to ever get a real version of that item (assuming you are fine with abusing a hilarious bug like that).
