So I created a character, and the moment I opened the door to my shelter there was fungaloids outside. I ran then north to find Triffids. Then I ran south past the fungaloid area to another evac shelter, where there was GIANT WORMS. By now you might be able to understand why I started to think that any minute lovecraftian horrors would spawn out of nowhere and kill me. Then I found a farm with a LMOE shelter just north of it....

Reminds me of the sandworm scene from Beetlejuice xD

I just started playing this last week, and actually streamed it for a good four or so hours on my twitch channel. Really enjoying it, trying to survive, figuring out all the neat things I can do.

Now, I am getting to the point where I want to start building things, specifically I want to build a bicycle, then a motorcycle. How exactly do I go about doing this?

Hit up a couple of hardware stores for metal; then build a vehicle frame; stick on a wheel on the front and back, get a seat and a foot crank assembly + vehicle controls, and you have a basic bike.
It would be a good idea to reinforce it a bit though.

Adjust the screen big enough to cover your whole screen?

I imagine a reinforced bicycle would look like the one in Pagemaster.

You can't resize the window unfortunately. Don't really want to change my desktop resolution every time I want to play this game.

Experiment with options. The first number should be bigger than the second number by far.

Give me a second to see if ResizeEnable works for Cata.

E: Nope. You can resize the window, but everything else remains static.

You can, check the "viewport width" and "viewport height" options (the unit is the font size). This is what the game looks like for me, now :

Is there a way to change the colours like in DF?

Probably in the raw code.
