It's a shame nobody figured out how to build stairs. I guess they just jet-packed up to bed or something?

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Are there any plans on integrating two hands? (Had to put it this way.) So we could do stuff like use a shiled in the off-hand and weapon in another, wield two weapons or a weapon and a lamp etc, akimbo pistols for wasting ammunition without hitting anything, quaffing beer with left hand while eating a sausage with the right etc etc.

You don't need to hold a lamp to use it.

Though IMHO it would be cool if you'd have to. Because as of now, I fail to see the point of Wearable Flashlights (expect for RP and flavour, ofc). I mean, you save some volume, but if you're so thight that a single flashlight would matter you're already doing something wrong. So if two individual hands would be implemented (which I hope will happen some day) than having to hold certain items in your hands to use them would make sense.

On an unreleted note: what happend to Wandering Hordes? From what I read, the big hordes will split up into smaller "mini-hordes", occasionally teaming up in cities or other places. I'm fine with that. But I had to abandon my most recent character because he was constantly swarmed by zombies. And I was camping on a farm, far away from the next city. Yet still, whenever I woke up there was a small troupe (1-3) of zombies loitering around my base. Literally every maptile had one or two such mini-groups. Is this intended? Because that was a seriously annoying game.

You can never have too much volume.

As for your zombie problem, do you butcher and/or smash the corpses? It sounds like they're reviving to me.

perhaps what is needed is a scaling respawn rate in non static worlds, ie from a very very slow respawn rate, far away from where player is to a higher insanity on the player rating at the other end ( or split it in terms of respawn from players in terms of distance from clsoe to far away) and then a respawn rate.

I definitly butchered them. I couldn't even step out of my base without wading through an ocean of shredded zombie corpses...

Would anyone be interested in a multiplayer world, where everyone works together to survive? It would sort of be like a succession game, but with people making a character, and you would have to get to a shelter we all work together to improve. Turns would be a week, or until you die. Hell, with rapid save swapping, we could do raids together. That would be interesting.

Definitely interesting. From my experiences with savescumming, you can save just the character date (stats, needs, equipment) without modifying the world itself - matter of fact, when I got lazy savescumming after death, I could clone and butcher the clone of myself.

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.

Sure, that sounds fun. If you're going to do it, place me fourth in the waitlist; I'd rather play a game where others have already done something.

Wandering hordes? Isn't that where noise eventually creates a spawn point in the world?

Nope. Thats where there are groups of a few hundred zombies in a big, multi-tile group.

(Unless the horde mechanics have been changed the last few months, and I missed it) Hordes are like a temporary dynamic spawn area. So noise will trigger a spawn of zombies, but it doesn't create anything like a spawn point in the overall sense.
