I'm cruising around on my foot-scooter looking for a place to make camp.

I was thinking about getting a bicycle for transportation. Are they functioning in the game? I've only seen bicycle tires, not a single full things. I presume creating one would take two tires, saddle, light frame aaand... ?

They are a thing. There's also a foldable bike item that unfolds into a vehicle and back.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

I've been gathering tons of bear traps and setting them out in the clearing beside the town. I think I have close to fifty of em set up. got about a hundred field point arrows and a short bow. I blew up the gas station and got like a horde of zombies on me then I ran through the trapped area while firing off arrows. I'm kinda imagining my guy as a giggling, completely insane trapper fighting off hordes of zombies.

Yeah, I agree with Pufferfish on the chance to hit thing in the new version, I think that needs better rescaling. It seems any melee weapon is useless against anything more mobile than a rock.

You need a foot crank. Controls, too.
Controls can be easily stolen from any vehicle, foot crank can be made with a pipe, a steel chain, and a couple bits of steel

Thanks! Can you do anything with a black box or are they just dead weight?

Unless you are playing with NPC quests they are just dead weight, yeah.

You can use black boxes at a lab to generate endless amounts of black box transcripts, which can be cut into paper or burned.  It might train Computers in the process but I'm not sure.

How do you refold them?

Using the "^" menu to select it (while not standing on it) should give the option to fold it.

   I completely forgot to post this yesterday but I found an interesting starting option for food if you spawn in the correct area. You just need the big worms nearby. Agro on and drag it to where you staying, it will till the soil for you. With that you can start a blueberry and strawberry garden since you can generally get those easily enough. Anyway back to recording tonights video.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Only in Cataclysm can you plow a field with a horde of giant worms.

So, I've been tinkering around with a 5x spawn rate for both mobs and items. Its, surprisingly easy. A single house can yield enough food for weeks, not to mention other supplies.

However, rare items are still rare, which is really nice.

Edit: Forgot to mention that, practically speaking, more zombies are not harder. If it were limited to just the specials when DDA just came out, I think it would be harder, but the majority of specials just hit harder in melee, and through a window makes everything easy in that regard.
