Not really by official means.  You're just strong-arm breaking walls towards your destination.  One tile at a time...

Hmm. Well, NPC's are no good - I don't have them enabled. And the dump is in the middle of nowhere, it'd be one hell of a tunnel to get there. Guess I'll debug it, I really want to see what's down there.

Small suggestion: Make "Cooked Meat" craftable via a "Knife Spear" as well.

Well, the sarcophagus was a bust. Lethally high radiation even with a hazmat suit, which means no good way to explore it. Oh well.

Raided a rat cave. 88 sewer rats on two floors. They literally ate my trenchcoat while I was wearing it. Walked out with a lot of torso damage and a little fur. Was interesting nonetheless. Now I'm on to another freezing lab. Found an interesting way to deal with turrets - I have a darkness generator bionic, which lets me walk right up to the turrets and stab them. One quick strike, a short explosion, and the turret is down.

Mutate radiogenic. It should be enough to keep you from completely dying. You may be horribly mutated, buuuut you shouldn't die right?

Oh Christ, the first zambie I ran into this game - not even 20 ingame-minutes in - is a brute.

If you are lucky you'll mutate up both radioactivity and radiogenic. Regenerating 1 hp every 5 minutes is crazy OP (it's 6x better than the regeneration mutation).

So I found this by sheer luck:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It's a Wreckage, which as close as I can tell is when the game generates 2-3 vehicles, adds and removes a few bits, and then places them over each other, meant to show a pileup wreck or deep collision.

This one is actually a very beefy solar powered car with a gas engine...  It has everything intact enough to run, likely because both (!) engines are intact and there's enough wheels in there that -some- of them work.

I want to own this now.  I'm not even sure if I should fix it up.  Just polish the chrome a little and drive her as-is...

I envy you. :<

All I get are cheesy wreckages with nothing but cold, hard, steel. No room for the love and the personal touches.

Worth noting that I've also encountered exactly zero normal zombies, and it's constantly raining.  Boomers and dogs everywhere in the rain all the time.

I found the freezing lab someone mentioned a couple pages back.  I did some exploring on the -89 F level before I left with frostbite on my face.  2 days of 40 pain later, I'm heading back with cbm heat pipes.  We'll see if I need to make a gasmask to avoid face eye frostbite.
