There's minimal support for starting location, not tied to starting scenarios.

A starting scenario system isn't too tough, and is planned.

"showing what happened before the cataclysm" is another kettle of fish entirely, it would be a LOT of work for pretty minimal benefit, especially if it's non-interactive.

So, my last-in-a-long-line Cyberjunkie character is finally to the point where I can try and pry those infuriating faulty bionics out. I've raided a liquor store, library, and lab for skill books and enough materials to sit inside in winter, crank out first aid items, and cut myself.

So far I've gotten the pixelvision and itchy skin removed, with a lot of what I can only assume is stabbing an X-acto knife straight into bones. There may have been some methacola involved. 38% failure rate at 7 mechanics/electronics and 8 first aid is pretty brutal. The starting bonuses were not in any way worth being crippled for almost a full in-game year, but it's been interesting as a challenge.

So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

I found a wood stove and want to disassemble it, but nothing seems to work. I can't use deconstruct furniture, I can't examine it, I can't use the hacksaw on it..... How do I get this thing?

Maybe it did work, but the only component of the wood stove is, in fact, a wood stove?

Watch out for radiation in that case, since that would mean it's an atomic wood stove. :3

You'll have to carry it Micro since none of those options worked.

Went into a mansion to pick up some food and water, as well as few materials to make fletching. Another survivor comes by, says hello(for once, not trying to rob me of my bow using a SMG or sniper rifle), and proceeds to pick some of the loot dropped by the zombies. I let him take it, since I didn't need it.

While looking around for the stuff I needed, I come across more zombies. I lure them out into the entrance hall to dance around them with arrows. The other guy walks up to the zombie that I'm fighting, and blasts him with a flamethrower. The blast hits me, and then the whole mansion starts burning to the ground. I barely make it out by smashing a window and jumping out. Asshole survived as well.

This is why I'm tempted to kill every other NPC I see. That, and 80% of them try to rob me first, and the fact they often do have nice loot.

Maybe {s}mash it? Or {G}rab it and drag it around?

If that doesn't work, use ( and disassemble it!

Eh, found a bug in an unstable from a  couple days ago. Trying to make a vehicle welding rig and no amount of welders will convince the game that I have more than one. I have two welders and two makeshift welders but it's convinced I only actually have 1 welder among them all, so I can't actually craft the rig. Great.

EDIT: Ah, apparently it's kinda-fixed in the newest version. I'm just going to purge normal welders from the crafting JSON for now to get on with it.

It cannot be smashed, disassembled, or picked up..... But I haven't tried carrying it yet. That might work. If not, then that's a bug that needs to be fixed, and a warning that if you are building a wood stove, to make sure you want it there forever.

So what you are saying is that if you want to make an invincible structure you construct it from wood stoves?

It doesn't block movement or vision or anything, so not very useful.

Also, he never left the easy areas, hah. The equivalent of milling about in the WoW starting zone indefinitely and saying there's just no challenge at all to be found in the game. It doesn't look like he ever left the edge of suburbia.

...so what you're saying is that this isn't a game and has no pretensions of being one, right?

No, he is saying is that playing the game with a heavily disadvantaged character isn't as much of an accomplishment if you don't do anything that's actually difficult, not that it wouldn't be a game. The player in the gallery could have, for example, tried to destroy a fungal bloom instead of complaining about the game being too easy.
