aww, it seems you have to work harder to get the stuff from burning down houses. and no rebar in houses? D: aww that was a major metal supply in my last play. all well, plenty of vehicles to take apart.

I never understood why you got so much stuff from a burnt house. Most houses I've seen have been wood frame, with either sheet rock or plaster and lathe inside. As for rebar? Who builds a house out of reinforced concrete?

[Robsoie]

While running away from the mall with lots of undead following i ran into a zombie vandalism scene !
Even while undead they're still attacking innocent cars.

Even a dog was shocked and decided to do dog justice and bite the Z !

edit :
what the heck is a chicken walker ? and why is that thing armed with a M4A1 and shooting at me !

Chicken Walkers are similar to tank drones; they spawn near roadblocks and shoot everyone nearby (i.e. You). They, obviously, lack the 120mm cannon.

But they still have the automatic grenade launcher.

[Robsoie]

It makes perfect sense for the military to build something like that , place it in a town and program it so it will shoot any unarmed civilians !

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Technically I think by lore they where programmed to only deal with criminals and when the zombies popped up the law decided IF criminal THEN more Dakka. Of course they don't recognize the zombies as humans so who cares what they do but your a human and you seem to be in a building in that picture and it most likely isn't yours thus you = criminal scum

[Robsoie]

Maybe that expendable baton i had in my hand made me a serious military threat too

Anyways, a question : as you can switch between ASCII and tiles by going in the options, is it possible to assign a key to this operation so you can switch between both ingame without having each time to go to the options menu ?


edit : i edited the color of the ground tiles in the retro tileset to make the ground less bright and started a new character with the more classic start (the shelter).
Talked to the NPC in it that told me about a Jabberwock being around, i accepted the mission (even though i remember those things were insane especially when you had no real weapons like in my new character case )

Then while moving away, something crush one of the doors and guess who was this

Just my luck

So speaking of burning houses down... How do you get a hold of rebars nowadays? I've made them before but for that you need an entire forging setup, n' I wanna make me an early jackhammer to get into a lab.

Get into a lab? Unless this was changed in the last week, you can cheese it by getting a lighter and setting the walls on fire. It's silly, but it works. Of course, you will destroy the entire ground level, but still.

[Sindain]

Well I already dug through the walls using a quarter staff, the problem is the stairs go right down into one of those cargo bay areas. There's no way out and into the rest of the lab save for going through the walls or steel door, but the walls are concrete unlike the ground level n' I can't bash through them (or burn them AFAIK).

[Robsoie]

Do monsters still take damage by being inside a burning shrub ?

I still use that old tactic from past versions, but i'm unsure it's still working (as i see no message about burn or damage reported during the fight)

[Akura]

I dunno. I've been playing experimental 2200-something and I cannot light bushes at all, even with kindling inside the bush, it says "there is nothing to light there". I had heard that bushfires were being nerfed. Try getting a really big blaze going, that works.

[Robsoie]

So far i have been able to set (either with matches or with a lighter) every shrubs i needed in fire when followed by a zombie ( playing with experimental 2384 ), maybe you ran into a bug that got fixed since.

[Kaitol]

You can destroy metal doors with a quarterstaff or sledgehammer.

Evidently I can't with a quarter staff. Already tried. And I don't have a sledgehammer.

You should be able to move to 2389 without problems.
