Yeah I had to move my alarm clock out of reach of the bed IRL...

I was mainly mentioning the alarm clock in-game because you still get the "you wake up to an alarm" message and it acts like you wake up, but you just... don't. No big deal, really.

I love shopping carts too. It's useful, and adds to the "post-apocalyptic hobo" element of Cataclysm.

Can you weld spikes to a shopping cart? Would they do damage if you pushed the cart into a zombie?

Because my current character has a shopping cart, and plenty of scrap metal, and a garage next door with full welding equipment. No gas yet to make a car worthwhile, nor the mechanical skills for it (yet). But...spikes. I could probably add spikes easily enough.

When you push a shopping cart (or other vehicle) into a zombie, it creates a collision event, but I think walking speed is too low to register it as causing damage.  However spikes/blades have a slightly different mechanic for dealing damage I think, so you might be able to make a push-mower of sorts.

I think I am now required to try this and test it out. I'm pretty sure I can get some more shopping carts to test on from the grocery store nearby.

I have no idea about the cart... but you could throw together a DEATHSPIKEBICYCLE

If my understanding is right, you should be able to make do with just a frame and a blade.  As long as the weight is low enough, it drags, wheels or no.

Also, I want to put a bicycle pedal on a set of casters, and make a 1x1 working vehicle.

Small bug report here: Groundsheets in large tents (e.g. FEMA camps) are drawn over chain link fences. This makes certain tents very difficult to navigate since all ground looks the same, but some tiles contain chain link fences which are obviously impassable.

You can clime chainlinks. Examine them.

Hmm, did not know! TY!
Just noticed something: weights seem to be ~twice what they're listed as in the json files.

Just a wild guess, but 1kg is ~.45lbs, so it might be that they're listed in kg in the files but you're playing with the lbs display.

Is the mac port working yet?

They are in grams actually.

We're still working on getting a version that is a simple download and go up and working. It is fairly easy to compile a non-tiles version for mac though, and the instructions listed here can walk you through the steps to compile your own (there are a few fairly large downloads involved though).

Burned through seven characters in the last 45 minutes.  I'm going to go out on a limb and say it, Static Spawn renders the game simply unplayable.

Crafting a Molotov Cocktail still requires a second empty bottle in addition to the one your material is already in.

And didn't everybody agree that morale loss from being wet due to swimming shouldn't be the case?

Out on a limb with you, though perhaps not the same one.  Those rapid deaths may be related to your playstyle, for me Static Spawn seems highly playable... note I do enlarge the field of view to match most of my character's range of sight, and I am careful not to engage more than one enemy at a time until I feel certain that I am ready for those odds.  Good luck though, and with joy there's still dynamic spawn which your playstyle may greatly prefer!
