I have no idea how to use the terminal/shell.

That's why I downloaded the client.  If I were going to use the terminal anyways then why bother with the client?

This got scary. I was raiding a new town, and got a huge stockpile of ammo. So I decided to ring the bells a dozen time and kill every single zed in town. I didn't notice the slime pit in the middle of town. Soon I found myself overrun by blob, I jumped into a house to try to loose them (and burn them) and got stuck in a dead-end bedroom. I had to fight my way through a 6*6 bloc of blobs, then run for my life as the remnant of the zombies hordes and a few hundred blobs were running after my slimed self. Oh, and I didn't have ANY stimulant with me.



Goodbye blobbies!

This situation went wrong several days before the blobs showed up.

Carrying meth with you everywhere you go is like having a get-out-of-jail-free card in Cataclysm.

Carrying meth and a LAW with you is like having a trump card.

Meth has too much of a come-down for my tastes, great for crafting or PANIC but for general city combat I prefer cocaine, you just can't do better than the classic bump.

Unless you've gotten a lucky stash of Adderall.  That stuff is golden!

A NPC grabbed my stash of meth and I never found anything else.

...So I've been doing everything wrong.

Because I don't take any drugs and/or caffeine XD In blob context.

Also, you didn't have a bunch of meatshields with you. NPCs, man. All you have to do is not be ugly, tell them to join you because they can protect you, and they'll proceed to tank every enemy you come across for you until they die, at which point you can pick up all their loot.

Also, for the price of one gun with no ammo, you can get them to raise your skills up several levels.

I failed to find suitable words to comment on the conclusions you people have come to. I really have.
Doesn't make them any less hilarious to read, though.

I didn't here a 'no' in there.  You cannot deny that we're right!

This has probably come up before, but it's difficult to find answers in such a huge thread. :P

Is there a way to dispose of unwanted items yet? Like rotten meat?

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.

Fire or acid. You can obtain surplus acid from setting up funnels and waiting for acid rain. Or, just leave the items outside for the aforementioned rain.
Also, I'm fairly certain that rotten food WILL rot away in the most recent version (could be experimental)

Like rotten meat?
Any food that rots, will disappear when it rots twice as long again.

For instance, meat turns rotten after 24 hours.  Butcher, produce meat.  24 hours after butchering, it turns rotten.  72 hours after butchering, it disappears.

You may need to update your game to the most recent experimental.

I just burn crap like that. Light a fire with splintered wood or something and pile the garbage on.
