haven't seen any posts about that being fixed, and it didn't last time I played defense (admittedly it was the 5Jan version)

How do you use wrenches to take apart lawnmowers?  I try to apply the wrench, but it doesn't do anything.  Where can I find springs?

[The Darkling Wolf]

You use the ( key to disassemble items now. Or possibly the ) key

[Rez]

Ah.

Another question.  How are tools distributed?  I haven't found any wood axes.  Have I just been unlucky or are they a rare spawn?

Is there a reason for the poppy painkiller and sleep recipes to be fire only and able to be made with a rock or a pot, but not a frying pan?

[n9103]

Wood axes seem to be among the rarest items at this point.
Best bet is probably to go around splatting NPCs until one gets dropped.
Though considering the odds of finding an NPC with a mininuke (active) are about the same, maybe not.
Personally, I haven't found any since the 5Jan version, not in HW stores, nor on NPCs.
However, there was discussion about making them more common, and having them appear in both HW and sporting goods stores.

IMO, it might be good to allow the cutting of trees with wood saws at a slower rate and the cutting of saplings with a hatchet or combat knife.

Would it be possible for houses to get a chance of spawning wood axes if they're adjacent to a forest? It'd make the isolated homes in the woods worth the trek.

That would be nice.  It might actually be a good time for a general overhaul of houses in general, a couple counters in kitchens, tables and other such furniture scattered about, that kinda thing.  SOme houses could even have a garage even if they never contain a car.  More things to look for in a safehouse sounds good in a hard decision sorta way.

"Hmm should I set up shop in that empty cave out of town, that suburban house on the suburbs with a basement, or the house with the safe garage near the gas station..."

It seems like you'd have to rework the spawn and detection mechanics to make a base of operations near town feasible.

Is it possible to empty my bleach without drinking it?

[w]ield it and [U ]nload it.

Wait wait wait...

Are you suggesting the game NOT make things artificially scarce?

That is insane!

[Nighthawk]

I do believe a rehaul of houses is definitely in order.

Thing is, if you look in the average house today, you find a heck of a lot more than a few sets of clothes, and a fridge with a few things in it. I don't know about you guys, but where I live, this place is STOCKED. There's so much stuff I dunno what to do with it.

Houses need to be less minimal. We need a bunch of items that suggest that there were actually people LIVING in them, you know?

[Fniff]

It does kinda feel a bit empty. I'd like more furniture like TVs and couches, bookshelves as well. Houses with a bit of personality to them, you know? At the moment it kinda seems that every house is a minimalist masterpiece with all the items just strewn on the floor.

It's no wonder everyone got sick, their only source of water were toilets.
