If I may make a suggestion. I just tamed a dog. He seemed pretty chill for a few moments. Then he went on a berserker rampage. He did not stop attacking. Everything. Until he died. I loved that dog. I just wish he would have been a little more cautious.

How about a very rudimentary system of simple commands: 'stay', 'fetch', 'attack', 'get in the car'?

Someone said the game crashed when deconstructing a bench...

How do you deconstruct something on the ground? I've been smashing them. (on 0.8)

Open your construction menu (*) and select the deconstruct furniture option (F) you need a screwdriver.

Dragging bookcases next to your charcoal kiln and deconstructing them there has been very helpful during my blacksmithing adventures.

Oh man...
I'm guessing you get a lot less "splintered wood" and a lot more goodies this way!

Stuck on the screen (right after creating a character): World Gen Options. I can see a CONFIRMATION tab, but cannot move to it.

Am I stupid?

oh well it seems so obvious now... seems to work with TAB in most other places.

Cool thanks

I've been taking all the gallon jugs of stuff in my car, dumping them into jerrycans then taping the empty gallon jugs together to make a new jerrycan. I haven't touched brewing at all, but right now I've got jerrycans filled with cheap wine, ammonia, bleach, water, and concentrated acid.

If a lightning bolt hits my storage then it will probably create a toxic explosion the likes of which can be seen from space.

Ok so there ARE still gallon jugs. I've explored maybe 10 buildings and have not found one... was starting to wonder if they made it into this build.

Alas, no chairs. Lots and lots and loving lots of corpses, though. Seriously, NPCs right now are kinda mental. At the slightest provocation they'll flip out and start butchering everything around them. I was knee deep in animal corpses after sleeping through my first night.

Yeah... I had an NPC in my evac shelter tell me to kill his zombified mom, he then proceeds to go on, what I assume to be, a several day rampage around the shelter. Seriously, until I finished the quest he was going from one animal to the next fighting them.

Then I turn in the quest and ask him to train me and he says "Let's go to a safe place." On the way there we (he) sees a bear and flips his loving poo poo again and gets himself mauled. Now I have an unfinishable quest in my log :(

You're lucky, all my NPC's do is to randomly decide to do something the game can't deal with, spamming me with hundreds of "NPCname has tried to eat a lighter" messages or whatever.

Hahaha that sounds somewhat entertaining.

So what's the trick to tackle a military base? I can't get in close without the turrets shredding me...

That one's easy. The turrets only fire if you're 24 tiles or less away from them. Stand 25 tiles away and fire at them with any rifle. Don't forget to let the recoil run its course between shots.

well poo poo. thanks

I'm wondering if this is because my character is Schizophrenic, or because the game knows something I don't?

Yes, praise whoever is getting rid of the horrible old construction system.

As for vehicles I've found 2 working motorcycles in my 0.9 run so far and pretty sure I've fought smokers.
Try on the roads between towns and car parks perhaps?

Don't know about the cars, but regarding smokers. EVERYWHERE.

My town is suffocated under their tyrannical rule. I mean I can barely go 3 map squares without encountering one or two. My torso :( I'm already asthmatic!

A filter mask should protect you from smoke quite handily.

All I have managed as of yet is a dust mask. Which don't cut it. Thankfully I'm swimming in first aid kits... so.

So what do you use to upgrade kevlar items? Sewing kits don't seem to cut it.

If you really wanted, you could stick a welding rig on your car, stick a set of wheels and a steel frame in the back seat and assemble a cart anywhere. That said, a folding bicycle is already in, I can't believe they haven't added in a folding cart yet.

So this is similar to what I do, I bring the components of a shopping cart in my car, and weld it/disassemble it as needed, however I go through batteries (makeshift welder) like nuts. What is this welding rig I hear of and how do you acquire one?

Yeah I've been using funnels it's just slightly less convenient than an inexhaustible and immediately accessible supply of water, with a steel jerrycan I guess this doesn't matter though.

Any weapon that can't block is completely inferior to even the shittiest weapon with +block it's not funny, a wood axe might look sexy compared to a simple pipe but you'll take so much damage it really doesn't balance out.

I'm pretty sure the pipe is the best weapon in the game.
