I've had a wierd thing happen. I was trying to craft up some long ropes all the way from thread. Along the way I discovered that crafting can now take stuff loaded in other objects, and so I started draining thread from sewing kits I found in houses. Since I set the item spawn factor to 10.0(holy crap this is a lot of items), I found a house with a decent number of sewing kits in reach.
Using the "Craft as long as possible" to make small strings from the thread, I first use up all the thread I'm carrying, then start autocrafting from everything around me. I crafted for at least three days straight, occasionally passing out from exaustion, but never stopping. When I finally figured out how to stop, I was starving, dehydrated, and noticed there was a bear nomming on my face.
Strangely, I had not taken much damage, and only in the torso, and I have no idea how long the bear was there. I managed to make 227 small strings. The sewing kits in the vicinity had not been emptied, and I doubt that there was 11350 units of thread in that small room. I teleported out via the debug menu, and used the strings(after recovering from starvation/dehydration/sleep deprivation/bear face-nomming) to make some rope. I should, I think, have had some left over, but when I started playing again later, I noticed the strings were all gone.
Also, reverse recurve bows, heavy arrows, and 10+ archery skill. I'm causing zombies, usually the dogs and children though, to explode into gore in single shots. I've even one-shot zombears.
I also built a trike using an engine, alternator, battery, and wheels stripped from a semi truck, and consisting of extra-light frames, except the back which has a standard steel frame and a cargo carrier. I think I need to read a few driving skill books before I take it on the road.
-Nothing fights back and is just killed by the dog.
No to this one. I've seen two pet dogs die. One to a zombear, and I forgot what killed the other, maybe a giant spider.
unless radio towers have some.
During a raid in which I grabbed a geiger counter from a pawn shop(...is that something you can get in a RL pawn shop?), I scanned myself and found I had a single point of radiation. I'm pretty sure I passed by a radio tower on my way in. But I think I picked up some plutonium cells as well, so I'm not sure.
