That's a "zweifire_off" you're wanting to make?  Been around since October or so.
Ah.  I should redouble my efforts to find a zweihander again, then.  It was not in the wiki (which is, admittedly, a bit slow to catch up to the rapid pace of changes), and the one time I found that blade was, I think, before then.  Thanks. ^_^

Is it possible to mod in seeds, or are they hardcoded? Also, what's a general guide for pricing objects, or should I not bother with that?

I still remember my first game on 0.9, and getting into a semi truck and driving down a highway as fast as I could for fun.

And then a moose got hit and didn't die somehow, and rolled up and broke through my windshield. Then I was trying to control the semi while smacking the moose with a machete.

Why does that never happen in my games? :'(
Because Janet is more awesome than the rest of us combined, perhaps?

I have an idea. Instead of discussing which sword was or is better in real life let's just stick to which items are better within the game based upon their game statistics and leave history out of it.

We have way too many people here with PHD's in swordology.

I'd actually prefer the broad and the katana to be apples and oranges deals. Like being able to block more with the braod instead of the katana, which is just kinda better for attack and defense. Some sort of trade off would make things there interesting I think.

Also, anyone know any good modding resources for the game? Specifically, when it comes to creatures. I've been talking off and on with Janet and she did mention wanting to see if she can mod the soldier and cop zombies to be able to fire guns. Doing stuff Romero style as far as zombie limitations go might be pretty interesting.

As far as I can tell, from reading the outdated wiki(I haven't touched creature .jsons), is that there's a number of hardcoded special attack tags that can be given to a creature.

I guess it's time to go json hunting for a turret. Variability of damage is kinda important since I do think it'd be a good idea to have the cop's ranged attack be generally crappier than the milzed.

Did a bit of json digging. Looks like creatures are limited to one special attack, so you can't have a milzed use a rifle and expect it to have infectious bites.

Have the milzed and polzed spawn with some sort of mouth armor to explain that. Police zombies could be any sort of scrap, as they try to desperately try to contain the situation and fail, while the soldiers would have gas masks and such.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

A monster that raises your morale and makes it harder to resist and fight back as long as your morale is positive IS actually a pretty good idea.

FYI our awesome buildmaster Narc has packaged the requisite .dll files with the experimental builds, so faffing about with those should no longer be necessary.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Also prototype hordes, and I'm surprised no one picked up on:
