Phew, so after about two days of disassembling car parts to get enough steel, I have a full metalworking set and a Rising Sun. Truly a blade of legend, its blade is forged from scrap steel pulled out of a minivan who's driver panicked and smashed into a truck - though TBH I couldn't tell where the minivan ended and the truck began so there may be some truck in there too. The handle is carved from an old bookshelf who's owner... won't be needing it anymore. It's wrapped with the skin of two rats that were bothering me while I forged the thing. On the handle is mounted a spraycan which I found in a kitchen, a cigarette lighter (which I imagine has a cartoon camel painted on it), and the handle is insulated with strips of leather cut off of an old purse. Probably not even real leather, cheap faux leather. Truly a blade of legend.

I name it - Trashbringer.

Edit: Lives up to it's heritage. One shots zombies and pulps their corpses often as not. Not bad for scrap metal from a minivan.

That blade--Masamune could not rival it in a thousand years, and Musashi would only humbly hope to commit seppuku upon it for the honor it would bring him.

Got a crash - tried walking onto a teal '=' inside a house and the game locked up. Batteries I think?

EDIT: And now a crash when walking into a parking lot.

Can you reproduce the crashes, and send me a save?

Nah, it can't be batteries. I think batteries are purple.

Sure. I'm at work now but I know I saved before the parking lot crash. I'll see if it does it again. I can spoiler the log if it catches crashes, too.

Teal = is medicine isn't it? I remember seeing that mostly in bathrooms.

So...Am I just godly unlucky or have all the safehouses been moved into towns now? The last six or so times I've started have all planted me in the middle of a town with a horde in sight at start. :/

Caught a delicious nether creature. I vacuum packed its flesh along with some chicken for winter. Didn't stick around to see anything else, figured I'd been out long enough.

I think you're just unlucky. I usually have them too far from town, to the point where I have to set up a safehouse in the city early instead of being able to crash in the safehouse for a day or two.

Eh. I'm gonna take a break on it. Just started up another new guy and spawned right next to a military base with six military zombies outside. :/ This game...Really has it out for me. Must be rng having it's revenge with me for all those years ago when I first popped out of a shelter and found a pair of mini nukes.

Found a second one in the sewers, guarded by a couple of flaming eyes. They "gazed" at me for a while, until I got close enough to put a few metal arrows through their irises. Haven't seen any side effects yet, I'm hoping that I won't.

I'd stop off by a lab or somesuch if I were you.
There're some delayed effects that can be rather unpleasant. :I
