"Horrific accident with silver lining - Family was warm for the rest of their lives" says M.U.C. Newspaper Reporter

Just picked this up a few days ago and this is the first time I have played this that I ever survived day 1, let alone make it to day 6.  Got very lucky in the beginning and had a bunch of military crates right outside my shelter containing weapons, MREs, and a mini nuke.  Things went really well until I took a car from town and drove it to my shelter, which summoned a eyebot for some reason that followed me to my base.  I killed it which much have been a bad idea because a police bot comes in, wrecks my face until luckily while running away another survivor comes in and beats it up with a fire axe, they then proceed to rob me, run into a skeleton, and get killed.  Right now I am currently on lockdown as a roaming horde is passing right next to my base.

All of this I have one question, does your night vision improve over time?  Before I could only see 1 tile away from me, then I could see up to 2, now I get a full 5 tiles away.

There is a moon cycle, full moon lets you see further.

Also, cars may have alarms now.

Grab a toolbelt/wrench/hacksaw/bionic and strip that thing out?

Also, something I just noticed it that it seems my basement reset itself.  It was a pretty much empty basement before, only 3 items in it, now it is stuffed with an item on nearly every tile and has 6 zombies in it.  Does the game sometimes do that?

[Zireael]

I call a bug, but a happy bug for you.

Basements have always been weird in some ways, but that's new. Did you savescum at some point?

No I didn't, I searched my basement day 1, although I have had some crashes that I had to reload the auto save from.  The only thing notably that may have done anything is that around day 4 I went to a Evac shelter and got a quest to clear out the bay that crash the game when I accepted it (likely because that room did not exist considering large sections of the shelter were destroyed by the multiple craters that spawned in it).  I believe after the reload from that crash I checked my basement and found it changed, going to check the other basements in town to see if they changed as well.

I know what you mean about basements being weird though, I had one shelter that did not have a basement at all but instead stairs that lead into a one-way trip into a lab.

[BigD145]

Some basements don't even have connected stairs above ground, but the upstairs in the basement will pop you to the surface. It sounds like that crash messed things up royally. Best to not even play with NPC's still.

As far as I can tell, eyebots summon police/riot bots by taking your picture. If they don't before you kill it, no pigbots spawn.

You know what's worse than pig bots?

M-f'n tank drones. I was driving down a road in a forest at speed to get away from a zombie horde (note to self: don't turn wander spawns on in the next world) and rounded a corner only to be blasted to bits by a tank drone. Didn't even get a chance to react.

[BigD145]

This is why you only drive or move at night with nightvision. Then you can take on tank bots with a bow and arrows.

[Orange Wizard]

It wasn't night. The drone was just hiding around a corner.

[Sindain]

Well that's the point. It's safest to travel at night even if you don't have night vision 'cause you can just turn your headlights off when you see a tank drone and then drive away. Or kill it really easy with night vision and ranged attacks.
