On a crisp midwinter morning a moving van rolls to a stop in a field two blocks south of a megamall. It disgorges one man with a flaming katana and a lot of time to kill.

"Damn," he said. "That's a lot of zombies."

And it was.

For two entire days he picked locks, crept trough darkness, and stabbed zombies. It was mostly stabbing, though. Like, 95% stabbing.

Seriously. Stabs, I've done them. The building design was pretty fun, though. Shame there's not much there apart from the regular random junk. I'm holding out for a bookstore hiding in one of the corners I haven't STABBED STABBITY STA visited yet.

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

An NPC lit some dynamite, then tried to bash wolves with it. When he tried, the game started throwing out a ton of debug messages. When he died, I took the dynamite(with a ~20 turn timer), and threw it. When it exploded, the blast deafened me, then while deaf I received a message about hearing the rumble of distant thunder.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Hey, thats an idea... Add in a mutation for pachyderm feet, allowing you to "hear" with your feet.

Keep it! There is lots of booze, one bottle carries tons of doses. Also you can always debug yourself to be a drunken master, so that you fight better drunk, or better yet, find an ethanol burner bionic and use booze to power your cyborg self

Alcohol addiction is a particularly nasty one; there is no reason to keep it, except for the challenge. It does you absolutely no good, you get the same effects from booze without an addiction. Cold turkey is fine for getting rid of it, but you might want to get yourself some Thorazine (alcohol withdrawal causes hallucinations) and a few days' worth of food and water before you try to rehab yourself.

Is the software on USB drives good for anything?
Found one with hackpro but not sure if it's worth keeping at all.

Only NPC-given quests, last I checked.

In the experimental, I believe hackpro software can be used to craft a "control laptop". According to the description it allows you to control robots but I have no idea if it actually works.

Finally got the hang of playing the game. My latest world spawned an awesome area with a military outpost next to a cave within 15 tiles of a lava flow. Unfortunately the cave and bunker are too far away from eachother or the flow to be much use, and the cave is facing away from the lava. I decided to tack a 10x10 wooden house onto the back side of the cave, closer to the lava. During construction, I used a tent that I looted from the nearby town to read at night next to the lava.

Spoiler: House (click to show/hide)

After building the house and adding a floor/roof tile on the rollmat in the lower left corner to cover during rain, I went out and deconstructed a bunch of vehicles for batteries, controls, solar panels, and general parts. I managed to find a wheelbarrow at the hardware store on the edge of the town which also happened to have a metal scrapper, yet another major score. I lugged all the parts (and yet another lucky find, a welding rig pictured left in the first image) back home. I added a solar panel to the rig and then built a solar powered mini fridge with a truck battery for food storage (pictured lower right).

Throughout the course of my adventure, I found some funnels and two barrels, a 30 gallon and a 55 gallon. It rains every single day without fail and wildlife is absolutely rampant around my house. The surrounding area is covered in pulped mooses (meese?), squirrels, bears, and even the occasional giant worm thanks to my crossbow covered in additions which includes an underbarrel shotgun. I like to imagine that my character wanders around with something like
Spoiler: This (click to show/hide)
just with more lasers and a damn shotgun.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

Yeah, keep hackpro.  Hacking robots may be Useful.

I always find it odd how the first thing everyone seemed to do in the apocalypse is to either stab or remove all the tires they could reach.

Must have been a shortage of plastic chunks?
