@teoleo.
You can move the screen (Shift+H, Shift+J... ) to know if the enemy is hostile.
Just put the zombie off screen, and then the cardinal direction will become RED if it's actually hostile or not.

how many changes....

Concerning the wiki: it seems a bunch of values are out of whack. Need help updating it?

More people updating the wiki = better wiki = more helpful to new players = good!

With the JSON files it should be possible to update the wiki automatically, manual editing would be required for special notes but for all items it should be possible to do.

[nope]

So I was considering forming up a list of challenges - namely reasonable checkpoints to mark your progress, like good old achievements, and not quirky self-destructive challenges that XBox would encourage...  The simple nooby checkpoints would be like 'kill a zombie' and 'survive the night' while mid-tier checkpoints would be more like 'cook and eat a food that takes more than 2 ingredients' or 'modify and drive a vehicle' with the more elaborate being along the lines of 'wear the flag' and 'loot a military bunker without using any IDs'.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Hmm, here I would start adding in values of items I find, but I do not know how to adjust the table columns; coverage is a new value.

Anyone know how?

I'll take a look at how sleep is acting, that's a pain to test since you have to either play for a long time (in other words, not testing), or just wait and cheat in food/water to cycle it.

One thing with odd sleep, are you taking much in the way of stimulants?  The system is overly simplistic in that stimulants actually make you less tired, so if you're very frequently taking stims, you actually need to sleep less.  Conversely depressants like alchohol increase fatigue rather than just making you more prone to sleep.  Will fix this eventually, it just works "well enough" in most cases right now.

Quick numbers
fatigue ticks up one every 5 minutes (50 turns) when you're awake
fatigue ticks down 2.5 every 5 minutes (50 turns) when you're asleep
fatigue ticks up one every 5 minutes when you have a cold or flu regardless of sleep, this is probably a bug.
Tired/dead tired/exausted thresholds are 191/383/575
Booze increases fatigue by 36 per serving.
Soda decreases fatigue by 20 per serving
Coffee decreases fatigue by 36 per serving
Cocaine decreases fatigue by 60 per serving
Fruit jam increases fatigue by 62 THIS IS A BUG WTF

P.S. We're receptive to adding achievements to the memorial system.

THE JAM OF SLEEP!!

Must be made from Snow White's apple.

"I can't...chew this...properly."

That, or due to [spoiler redacted] on the lore of the character (and..well, y'know. Hint goes to why mutations > Radiation and stuff), we're really..not eating processed fruit. Somehow.

P.S. We're receptive to adding achievements to the memorial system.

I'm imagining a a lot of variance here-like how they did nethack's death messages? Yep.

I'm assuming that once you consume so much sugar, your body goes into shutdown mode to use the energy to digest it all. Kinda like snakes after eating large prey. </wildguess>

[Girlinhat]

Given the simplistic style, I'd assume that when you eat sugar you just get less sleepy.  You could subsist entirely on sugar and soda, never sleeping.

On that note, could there be a way to obtain sugar, sugar water, or syrup from fruits or plant matter, maybe being able to process triffid plant matter into sugary syrup, and then re-processing that into grainy sugar or sugar water, which could then be used to produce various regular foods.

I think that would probably come along with the other 'time' reactions like farming. In big containers.

Yeah, a lot of things that are currently crafted will probably be lumped into long-term procedures.  I just really hope that most/all of the long-term crafting can be mounted on vehicles, so that when it takes a few days to distill some booze, you don't get stuck in the same area waiting for it to finish.

I think that the efficiency and usefulness of long-term crafting will be intended to build up for a lategame based ore around building and fortifying a base than it is about rolling through towns and scavenging like currently.

Distilling booze on a bastard child of a truck mating with a porcupine. All you need to do is make Shotguns more viable as a weapon and you will open a portal to the Redneckverse, starting the Apallachialypse.
