I'm not criticizing, I was just worried that some a***hole lawyer would sue the team for using Triffids or something and bring the project to an halt. Glad to hear all's well.

I want to get into archery PURELY to get exploding arrows.

This is purely the best reason ever.

Because I've gotten lucky enough to carve a few explosive arrow heads and make good arrows out of them.

They don't come back after being shot though, but are like mobile grenades.

...Do not shoot at point blank range. Or even then.

Nah for the game to be sued by anything of Triffids the game would have to be about triffids, the game would probably have to be called "Day of the Triffids". Putting in cameo roles is perfectly fine without needing express permission especially as there isn't any artwork being used.

The only way anything infringing could happen is using some trademarked item and then making it defamatory i.e. Drinking can of Coca-Cola causes your teeth to fall out, even then as it's an open source game and not being sold and to be honest it isn't a popular game in terms of milllions of users and stuff they won't even bother doing anything.

Luckily any action would just be Cease and Desist which is very easy to comply with and no legal fees neccessary

Well, 2 days after the destruction of the spire there are still fungaloids. Not losts of them, but they keep spawning (along with fungal zombies). Will I have to clear them out by myself? or will they just despawn eventually? I hope that if I don't kill them, at least they stop breeding.

I believe once the spire is gone, the regional population doesn't replenish.  So if you keep killing them, they'll come less and less frequent, until they stop.

Well, at least I will get some plant fibres

Explosive shotgun shells are like hitscan grenades that also destroy terrain. It's pretty much the best thing ever... can't speak for exploding arrows though.

I just had an idea.

Improvised welder.

A cobbled together collection of soldering irons and amplifier circuits. It can be used as a welder, but it (requires extra power/can't hold as many batteries) as a normal welder.

Parts:
4 soldering irons
Power Converter
2 Amplifier Circuits
20 copper wire

Should be rather bulky.

I'd think building a torch welder would make a lot more sense for improvised, but then we'd need propane tanks...

Improvised stick welders are actually pretty simple to make... see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6oDCbcmtWw, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsfgwEUXtTc

Does anyone know what kinds of skill levels you need to reliably reinforce clothing like trenchcoats or cargo pants? Currently I'm level 2 at tailoring, and I'm wondering if I should try reinforcing some of my more complex clothes or not.

[SalmonGod]

There's no reason not to try, unless the clothing is damaged.  If it's damaged, you'll try to repair it and possibly make it worse.  If it's not, you can activate your sewing kit and select the article of clothing.  It will simply say "You practice sewing", and use 1 thread.  Keep doing it, and you'll train your sewing until the rng decides you succeed at fitting/reinforcing the article.

[Un67]

^ Tried it out, and it worked pretty well! Now I'm at fully reinforced gear, with the exception of my army helmet. I have to say, I really like the tailoring minigame: being able to scavenge materials from windows and turn shredded zombie clothing into useful outfits is really great.

Indeed. Both thread and rags are very easy to come by. I use Sinew instead of thread actually, butchered from wolves and such.

Some items can be reinforced with a soldering iron and cut-up plastic chunks. Sunglasses and kevlar (and some helmets) and stuff.
