Pulped corpses also don't reanimate IIRC. So mashing works too.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Light strips are pretty efficient, as are fires if you find a house with a fireplace.

How does fire work, mechanically? Will it burn longer with more stuff in the fireplace? Is there a hardcoded number for every item for burn time?

I believe it runs off of a combination of item volume and the material of the item, with various thresholds that determine if an item burns instantly, if it burns over time, or if it is just scorched/damaged without being consumed.

That's weird, mostly because I can't seem to light logs on fire.

You probably need a starter. Even in real life you can't just light a log straight on fire without some serious, well, firepower.

Disassemble low-level skillbooks you've got memorized completely for kindling.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Religious books work even better, as you will only ever need one. That is, unless you want to make them into paper cartridges and shoot zombies with holy bullets.

I'm sorry.

The only holy book I need is the Kojiki.

Sure. Now tear all the other ones up for the paper!

So, so sorry.

Well, using them for making a holy weapon is less sacrilegious than just burning them.
I'm an Agnostic heathen though, so probably best to ignore my advice about religious matters.

Considering that they burn up anyway, since you're just wrapping gunpowder in them, I think it's all the same.

You could make holy spitwads out of them, perhaps...

Nah, what you need is to find a church where the ridge caps of it's roof are made of lead (if you can make jacketed ammo then copper should work and be easier to find). Presumably since it is a part of a church it should count as blessed lead.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.
