Cataclysm still manages to make me feel stupid.

While raiding a military outpost, I find that one zombie soldier had some 12mm slugs. Another had a railgun. Cue giggling and dropping a bunch of junk so I can even pick the thing up. Turns out I need a UPS to fire it. I've seen no less than five UPSes in this particular game and I'm so far from town that it's not worth running back to pick one up.

My Android perk turned out to be invaluable this time around - I received the mod that allows you to power your other mods off of hunger as well as one that is great at destroying robots and walls.

Nope not there. When was it implemented?

I don't know. It's present in version .2

[Edmus]

Just found two flash bangs, a smoke grenade, two regular grenades, some teargas a block of C4 and two mini nukes. How should I use this power?

[Micro102]

Find 2 gas stations next to each other, lay all the explosives everywhere. Cover everything in gasoline, then make as much noise as possible, and nuke a screen full of zombies in a blazing suicide of glory.

Need you ask ? Blow up a megastore of course.

I've been recently playing the latest build, and I've had... A problem getting my character to go to sleep.

As you can see from the picture, it's not all that cold. It's not like my character is stark naked.  I've had him roaming from building to building trying to find one that isn't 'cold'.

To my knowledge, the temperature is kinda broken right now. As in, you can wear two pea coats to sleep and you'll still get cold for some reason.

Are you using an old character template or preset?

[teoleo]

the turret can run out of ammo?

[The Darkling Wolf]

Vehicle turrets need to be supplied with ammo, standalone turrets have infinite ammo.

[teoleo]

infinite ammo...grrrrr :O(

So, I've been experimenting with static spawns. Have to say it is a pretty neat idea, theoretically better than the previous implementation. However it is also way too hard at the start, silly amount of luck needed to have a character survive the first few hours of the game. The main issue is that the vast majority of special zombies move faster than the character, running away is not an option and fighting is not an option. I'm all for the added difficulty, but lose-lose situations within the first 2 minutes of the game should happen some of the time not most of the time.

I think the first town characters start near should probably have at the very least a lower chance to spawn special zombies, or a smaller population in general. Either that or characters need to start out with something, I quite fancy the idea suggested before, of starting out with a random chance at items associated with skills known.

[Mookzen]

Ideas on how to solve the difficulties presented by the static spawns ? It's a tad too hardcore at the moment I feel.

you run away and dont go to town until you are a god.

With Fleet Footed and Quick you can run faster than everything other than fast zombies and possibly hulks, so running away remains an option in general (as long as you don't run into another group), and fast zombies are weak enough to fight with even very basic melee weapons, or by getting them onto some sort of difficult terrain (I've had a lot of craters in my towns recently for some reason, they work quite nicely an eventually kill things if you keep running in circles around them) and just running away more. You can also still loot houses while being chased by zombies, you just have to be very fast about it, and make sure once you get out of the house there's a way away that isn't covered in zombies.
