If you dont have a respirator of some sort (filtermask, duskmask, gasmask...) it can give you a fungal infection, which is a fun thing to get rid of and kills.

Tomcost, if you have a flushot, take it.

I never had this problem before. All I do is take as many marloss berries as I can carry and leave without attacking the spire. Fungal zombies aren't a problem either, since they seem more interested in killing the fungus than attacking me. The only time I had an infection was when I tried killing the wall with my bare hands.

My Cataclysm play-throughs have so far consisted of dying on the first day :P.

So I just came back from a long hiatus. I'm trying to start using bows, put together a longbow and some unfletched field point arrows. Can't use them. Apparently they're components now instead of ammo. I have fletching, but I can't figure out how to attach it to the arrows - I don't have a recipe for it, and I can't (a)ctivate either part. Do I just need to find a fletched arrow recipe? That kind of makes arrows extremely hard to start using.

You should learn it via fabrication, but I thought there was a usable arrow at a fabrication of one...

It might not be one that used fetching.

You also need Archery skill to craft arrows, so you're going to have to find some way to shoot your bow.

That said, it's pretty stupid you have to put fletching on arrows to fire them. As long as they're decently straight, they'll fly true enough without.

I think you can crank out small game arrows with basic skills, so...

So far I've tried small game, field point, fire hardened, regular arrow shafts, and heavy arrow shafts. They're all "components" and don't count as ammo.

Well, at least you can use plastic chunks for the fletching, which you can get tons of if you chop up unneeded plastic items, which aren't in short supply if you're near a decently sized town. (Or atleast, that was true last I did archery. But then, it was also possible to fire unfletched shafts then too, soo...)

Cardboard boxes also work for fletching. Just eat lots of cookies.

That sounds very similar to what happened to rocks a while back, except there it was reversed - somebody marked them as ammunition, and then they couldn't be crafted with.
