I'm struggling to work out the Noise levels based on the wiki information. Could someone clue me in how this works?

The wiki says "Noise is based on ammunition damage * 0.8 + 20 if greater than 5". So, taking .308 as an example, this ammo creates 48.8 "noise". But the wiki goes on to say that 40mm grenades make 8 noise and various other things are even quieter.

I don't know much about guns, honestly, and I know the .308 is a powerful caliber, but is it really so much louder than a grenade? Or is this information outdated?

I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.

It sounds like the 8 noise is just the sound of firing the grenade (the poomph as it leaves the launcher) not the explosion itself.  I think the player makes 8 noise just moving around, so 8 dosn't sound right for the explosion.

Hey all! Just wanted to say that I love DDA! Great work fellas! I've been reading this thread for a while. I don't really post anything because my grammar skills are not that great. :| I just had the urge to share my character's story.

Huh, well steel plating is more useful than sheet metal.  Though Darkling Wolf was the one who said they deconstruct into sheet metal, so I think that basically just turned into Word of God being wrong.

So that means it could potentially be a bug, and that you could get away with 'Z' spawning some sheet metal.

It means that the change where I made them create sheet metal was reverted at some point :P

Steel plating is so much more useful. Just punch 2-3 store racks into steel bits and make some sheet steel.

EDIT: Is there any way to cut down on loading/saving times? Ive been dissolving bodies in the streets in hopes that relieving the clutter will lower the time needed to load/save.

Except sheet metal is much more useful and makes much more sense for a slide.
Not everyone has the ability to find buildings with welders in them.

I'm having some trouble with pointy sticks. I can craft weapons with them, but I can't use them to cook meat - I'd need a wood spear for that, but I can't craft one. Is this intentional or an oversight?

Right, f*ck the bloody narration.

I've been working on that Quad-bike I found. And after a day of hard work, I present to you: !!The Murder Bike!!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I've added steel plates to the front wheels, and attached blades and spikes on every surface. The spikes on the side of the wheels enable it to cut a five tile wide swath through a horde. And the ones by the seat prevent any zeds who manage to dodge the spikes1  from hitting the unarmored back wheels. I've also added an extra gasoline tank under the seat. The added weigh has made it a bit slow, but it should be able to ram through a horde without much trouble.

Now all I need is a hacksaw.

1 for some bloody reason, the speed is ignored if it's the zombies who walk into the vehicle, although I suppose it could simulate them trying to cling on to the vehicle, but the speed should still have a factor on that. Anyway, no one could possibly cling diagonally to a bloody, literally, wheel.

You should be able to craft a wood spear with a "Heavy stick" and a knife of some kind.

It might be a client-side bug if you have both the heavy stick and the knife (check the knives list in "wood spear" crafting, not all of them work for it)

There is no wood spear in my crafting menu, I can't even (f)ind it. I can only make a pointy stick out of a heavy stick with my machete.
