I recommend you try playing as a Dream Stalker profession.  It's easily as OP as most of the stuff you'll run into (was for the stuff I saw, though I didn't get possessed dolls when I tried it, I got Vampires, Terminators, a few other things.  But as a DS you start with some pretty neat armor and Freddy Krueger claws.... even without skill to use them those claws hurt bad guys.
I don't know. Terminator starts you with a big gun, nice armor from the bionics plus a whole slew of useful ones, and some good skills. Ghost starts you with 50 dodge. Pick up Zui Quan from training, and some unarmed skill, and never get hit again. Or just go agent and walk through walls.

Hey, is the experimental back to normal now?

I just downloaded an hour ago and no, it is not anything like "normal".

There also appears to be a bug, where pressing 'Q' to quit on the main menu causes the program to crash instead of close cleanly.
Since when was MDickie working on DDA?
Gah, ya beat me to it.

If you prefer a regular game, you can edit the monstergroups.json file and remove the halloween monsters from the spawn table.

The halloween changes were reverted as of *checks commit log* 7 hours ago at the time of this posting. For those of you that liked them (or at least got a laugh at how OP they were) we'll be almost certainly making our holiday changes into "mods" once the mod manager is in, so you will be able to toggle them on/off at will. (There has also been some discussion about potentially adding a rare "carnival" location that might spawn some of the more balanced ones, maybe we'll tie it into a "whacky cataclysm" trait idea that has been tossed around a few times.)

As of ~5 minutes ago, I downloaded Windows Curses experimental.  Agent is still a profession choice, as is Dream Stalker and the others - still at 0 point cost.  Could only some of the experimentals been reverted, or only some of the changes removed?

If there is one, then seek until you find it.
If there is none, then never ever mind it.

Yeah, it seems that Glyph reverted monster spawns, but didn't revert professions.

Oh, also, the last couple of updates made a change to how objects are shown, apparently, because now I cannot see if anything is on shelves/tables/what have you. The objects only show if they are laying on the ground. Not fun.

EDIT: Deon's tileset is broken in the latest experimental.
EDIT2: I fixed it myself: there is a comma that is supposed to be next to a value but there is what I suspect is an accidental Tab in there. Then the config for ammo is bad because some bullets have IDs defined as numbers and not strings (e.g. ID is 223 rather than "223").

Is there a way to destroy wood stove? I can't deconstruct it, I can't smash it, I can't blow it up with explosives...

Yep, I just cancelled out the spawns. Forgot professions auto-loaded - oops! I'll fix that.

While it's probably going to already be in the experimental and/or the next stable, when is the ETA for World Factory and the mod loader?

I have recently discovered that you can use the G button to move furniture.  I have also found that dressers are vacuums and I am currently dragging a dresser around in a lab sucking up all the loot.

World factory is already in the experimental. The mod loader stuff will probably land shortly after the release of .9.

Hmm, I'm looking for a metal tank, what should I disassemble?

Take the gas tank off a car wreck and that'll give you one.

You can also craft one with enough mechanic skill.

As of today's experimental, running zombies over is hilariously broken. If you run over a zombie, the game derps out with debug message even when it's supposed to be set not to show them, and spawns a new zombie on the old's corpse. Often it deletes the new zombie, sometimes not, but even if it does, the zombie exists for a single round, which means you run a zombie over twice, doubling the damage to the car and the risk of a skid.
