I may tweak foot damage a lot then.  I wear boots as my only footwear, and I can pretty much trample over anything I want.  If it's shorter than 3 foot, I can walk over it!  I'll see about changing things like "if wearing footwear of armor 0, like barefoot or sandles, apply damage.  If armor 1, like sneakers, apply light damage.  If boots, then only spitter goo counts!"

I want to fashion a throne of skulls. Though to be honest that's something I want to do in every game.

The only thing I wanted to do in that dark barricaded evac shelter of mine was to get some light!

The fire spread so quickly that I barely had time to run away. It didn't help that I threw some splinter wood in the fire seconds before it grew into a raging inferno.

Anyways, great job, gentlemen!

At this point I exited the truck.

EDIT: In the 3 or 4 hours of in-game time I killed 285 zombies, 100% of which are in this horde. Trucks are loud, but powerfull.

[Girlinhat]

Trucks are incredible.  If you build them just right you can make a moving bottleneck and get the "fighting through a window" against a whole horde.  Bonus points if you're on meth.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

Yeah, I found this truck five minutes before that picture, and was driving it to a gas station to refuel it. The normal zombie spawns hadn't even started yet, and that horde was massive, a sea of green Z's in ever direction.

[The Darkling Wolf]

Yup, you should really consider looking for a jerrycan and getting the hell out of dodge with vehicles like that.

[Koliup]

Do zombies still end up spawning in never ending waves on your first looting run?
And do they still track you out to your shelter(then come in never ending waves after you kill the trackers), even after a night of heavy rainfall?

One thing I still can't stand: The arbitrary limit on the amount of things you can have, which happens to include equipped items. Which can easily be about 1/5 of that a-Z limit of slots. Remove this, or something. Dear god it's obnoxious that I can have so much free space yet be unable to pick up a damn pill bottle because all the slots on the item list are taken. I'm just going to find my post from the previous Cat topic and throw it in;

Actually, the thing that kills me most in this game is inventory management and encumbrance. And this is coming from someone who loved Incursion's system. Make it so containers actually hold items to help alleviate the max item limit, which would probably be an absolute total re-work of inventory and a giant pain in the ass at this point; or simply remove the silly item # limit and attribute letter assignments to items only while they're being shown on the screen.

I don't use hotkeys for items anyways, unless it's assigning 'a' to a crowbar, mostly because the keys always seem to change all the damn time for no reason, making me search through my inventory to find the item I had thought I memorized the key of. Keep the highlighting of selected items and just get rid of the assigning-letters-on-pickup bit. Make the items in the inventory itself of less import and only worry about weight/volume limits.

But yeah, basically the item limit is hugely immersion breaking and rather unacceptable in the game where packmuling and being a nomad is one of the most viable playstyles. I dunno, I just don't want to be forced to have a car or a dump building simply so I can continue to pick up pill bottles and nyquil.

The game would be a million times better. Especially now that the variety of items is so massive.

Hi folks, is there any way to change the fonts that come with the latest release?

Open the fontdata file in your data folder (might need an editor like notepad++ or something) and change 'terminus' to whatever font you want.

[nadia911]

Thanks Darkling! and font size?

[The Darkling Wolf]

It should be changeable from the same file, it'll resize the window to make it fit.

[nadia911]

Thanks again Darkling, and thanks for Cataclysm Dark Days release

Most experienced players agree: "The issue isn't that you're limited to 52 items.  The issue is that you think you need 53 items."  Learn to travel lighter, you really don't need about 5/6 of the stuff you end up carrying with you.  This becomes especially true of things like books, "I'll read this Robots for Fun and Profit when I've got enough skill to utilize it!"  No.  Stash it, map mark it, leave it.  Same with most drugs.
