Currently getting an error that causes the game to crash out whenever I hit 'E' to eat.

material.cpp[118]: Tried to get invalid material: bone

I had that too. Updated to the latest experimental build and it stopped.

Can I do that without losing my character?

Worked for me but YMMV. Backup the save.

Couple questions on the spawning mechanic. Loud noises cause more zombies to spawn, due to dynamic spawning, but is it only from noises you cause or would ambient noises such as a bunch of kid zombies banging on fences increase the spawning? Do smashing windows cause enough noise to effect the spawning?

Also, do mobs despawn? If there's a large mob of zombies at a building I want to get to, if I leave it for a day and come back is it likely the zombies would be gone or am I just gonna have to fight all the zombies?

Any and all noises will up the spawn counter, including zombies breaking windows, boomers exploding, and the thunder from storms.  That's why Shriekers exist.

As far as I can tell, if you can get a few map cells away from an area the specific mobs in that area will despawn, but the spawn counter in the area will still be the same, so you'll probably run into similar levels of danger.

   But of course if you for instance used some explosives to take out a really tough zombie and suddenly the streets are flooded with zombies you can go away and if you go far enough you will be facing only normal levels of zombies when you come back.

New item idea: Bionic removal kit.

Craftable from a knife, any sort of CBM, and a first aid kit, possibly some other stuff, and a rare find in places with medical supplies or bionics. Would allow you to remove one bionic, at the cost of destroying it, easily, or, significantly harder, remove the bionic without destroying it. If it is a faulty bionic of some sort, it would be significantly harder, or possibly only be able to downgrade them to less faulty conditions.

Really I would just like to be able to de-install a bionic similar to how you installed it, with a knife. Doing so would cause large amounts of pain/damage, but it would allow you to remove any bionic you wanted to.

Dynamic spawning has a timer on how often zed spawn.  Loud noises decreases this time - from any source.  Last I was aware, I think it was... around 50 volume, the spawn timer ticks shorter, capping at 300 volume where it hits max single-instant reduction.  This means setting off a nuke won't cause 3 waves at once, it'll only do the max reduction.

So breaking windows will draw attention from those nearby, but not in itself cause a spawn wave.

I think it should be harder, since, y'know, the bionic is *part of your body now*

Maybe have a bionic removal machine in laboratories?

[Aseaheru]

What, you mean besides dissectors, the scientists, turrets, man-hacks and everything else?

[SharpKris]

so how do i destory turrents without dying straight away?

[Aseaheru]

Go in with no light. At night. Throw EMPs at them.
If you are lucky you get a friend, if not you get lotsa ammo.

So, I got a map that segfault'ing on me. Anything I can do about this?

[Robsoie]

As i noticed i nearly never hit anything regardless of the distance with a M4A1 found in town along some .223 ammo, i decided to make some tests with the debug mode to see if i should focus on giving skill point on firearms or on specific type of firearms or both.

So created a character with 12 points
put ****** in Firearms
put the remnant points in Dexterity (11)

debug mode spawned a M4A1 and 3 .233 ammo sets (90 ammo)
Then i went in town

I noticed that while firing when moving my character was missing easily half of his shots, regardless of the range.
When i stayed immobile, it's surprisingly nearly an avalanche of missing shots, even at 1 tile range.

Restarted a character with the only difference being ****** in Rifle instead of Firearms (as M4A1 is a Rifle maybe Rifle has more impact than Firearms)
Did the same debug spawn and town rampage, and found the same results.

Restarted a character, with **** in Firearms and **** in Rifle (and 12 in Dexterity)
While moving i noticed that i seem to hit more regularly, less misses, so it seems it's a better idea to invest in both skills if using rifles than only one of them.

But when staying immobile, it is still an incredible serie of misses, again regardless of close or long range.

I wonder if there's then a real problem with firing while not moving or if there's some obscure gameplay mechanic kicking in, i would think the character should be more accurate if not moving, but ingame from my tests it's clearly the opposite, firing while being immobile always resulted in an insane amount of misses.

I wonder if the "safe mode" thing is linked to that, as while firing while being immobile, you are spammed regularly with the "safe mode on" message that you need to press ' to get out of it , but you're still being able to shot (and miss 90% of the time).

I've looted almost the whole town, and I did not find a welder, nor welding googles. And I haven't discovered another town yet. I think I'm stuck in my little town with two hospitals, but almost no shops.
