What vehicle are you driving? I think they /may/ be able to get in, but I would have to check. If they can, it was via climbing over the hood of your car into the open trunk of the Humvee.

[pisskop]

oic.  No.  It was a regular car I put hatches and trunks in.

No, they were in the humvee.  and I couldnt climb out of either my car or the humvee without opening a door and nothign ever came in unless I was removing something from the humvee.

[Aseaheru]

The thing I was thinking of is that they started to the west of your char, climbed onto the hood of your car, into the open trunk door of the Humvee.

Where there any boards that where missing on the Humvee? That could have done it. When they are missing completly, and if the frame is the same shape as the missing bit, its almost impossible to tell that its missing.

[pisskop]

Id be lying if I said I wasnt taking pics for my own use. >.<

I didnt realize they could climb on hoods, its all quarterpanel and will soon be armored.

If they can climb on vehicles, then I was removing the whole inside, so . . .

But because I hallucinate so much I usually ignore things attacking me or being seen unless I take damage or its a huge threat.  They attacked from the south, in the humvee.  The humvee is completely sealed off from the outside unless you can open doors or smash.

[Aseaheru]

They cant go over quarter panels, I forgot to say that.

[n9103]

They can climb through broken windows though, can't they?
Not often I've ever seen a random car of any sort without at least one broken window.

[Aseaheru]

They can go anywhere you can go.

[pisskop]

I, ah, . . . accidently burnt down my mansion   The fire jumped from the fire pit outside to a refuse pit nearby to the short rope I put next to that to the mansion.

I tried to use the extinquisher, but It went up fast and hard.  This is after I moved half my crap inside for storage, and after I shot a guy in the face because he tried to rob me, so now I have that obnoxious -100 moral on top of my addiction to booze.

[Greiger]

Good news is that if you manage to get a shovel you will have all the rocks and nails you will ever need.

Also a surprising amount of stuff seems to be able to survive hellish infernos like that.  May want to come back with a shovel sometime and see what you can salvage.

[Graknorke]

I've even had bottles of wine survive fires. Rubber/kevlar clothes too.

[pisskop]

I've managed to create a season fanale for my character, who managed to live with a red / of head health.

Spoiler: Chronicles, the quick notes for the story. (click to show/hide)

**Character: Fusco
-Gens world.
-I woke up in summer, behind the sofa, surrounded by my booze and with my stuff strewn out along the floor. I grab it and stand up, smelling the smoke.
-Taun Gomez, my companion, was trapped under rubble, with a zombie attacking him.  I left him.
-I loot a house across the street and run to the grocery store nearby to see if I can find a cart.   i did get fircrackers.
-The store had groceries.  Brioche, booze, some pipes I ripped up, and junk food.
-I find a house with a garage on my way south to check the parking lot there.   enter it to find a flahslight, some gloves, some bearings, and assorted tools
-The liquor store is visited, and I take sparingly, preferencing cans over bottles bcause of my space requirements.
-The military surplu store grants me a kevlar vest, chicken MREs, boots, a winter jacket, and  sheath
-The plan is now to head north from the empty parking lot and shack up in an outlyng house.  I may or may not visit the sport store on the way, dependent on time.
-I find a working car as I pass down the street.  I uneventfully transfer my stuff, move the cart off the road, and take off
-I throw a firecracker in the dark at away from my parked car as I arrive at my destination.  If only to stop zoms from pathing to my car.
-There are 2 NPCs looting buildings to my south.  Im leaving them be.
-Im the clothing store, I hear the sound of gunshots.  I take half the store, including a large tent and some dving gear and a baseball bat.
-I park my car as close to the house north as I can.  A library is directly north of the house.  I will try to hide here for the day.
-A zombie kid proves too tough for me, and I end up fleeing in th car.
-I park mid-field and read a mechanics book.  I hallucinate a zombear and skeleton, which are actually plausible.
-I then go to scout.  I find several roadblocks, and a public works station.
-A tank drone is slaughtering zombies wholesale.  I sieze the chance to run inside a store.
-Tank bot set fire to the motel and surround buildings, as well as destroyed the Roadblock
-I travel north, and find another town.  I find several bodies.
-As the sun begin its descent, I pulled up to a manson of some kind.  I need a sewing kit amoung other things.  And to cook water.
-I do not find a wrench, but my other needs are met on the night raid.
-I fix the room I want to sleep in, on the southeast of the mansion, with fridges, bookshelves, and plants.  pic 007
-I sleep all of night 2, and wake up to find an NPC trying to rob me.  I kill him, though he almost cripples an arm.
-I spend the next 24 hours crafting, sewing, and sleeping.  OR trying to but stomache heaves and hallucinations.
-It is now Night 4.  I go to the tank drone spot.  There's a gas station there, that is OOO.  Tank drone is moderately injured, chuggin' along still.
-I can't find the car, so  wander around flicking on the flashlight until it runs out of batteries.  I then start lighting brush fires so that at least  can know where Ive been.
-The sun comes up, and I find a zombie playing inside of it, cracking my windshield.  Ill have to get soem mechanics skill and fix that . . .
-I don not sleep, instead opting to read my mechanics up to level three with several swiggs of booze and irritation when the fractal vision occurs.
-A human was inside the mansion at one point, popping shots at presumably zombies.  I ignored him as  was outside in some plants.
-I spend the next few days dicking around.  I found a corpse in the old dry pantry.  A heavily injured zombear nearby suggets that they classed.  Bullet casing for their 9mm SMG are everywhere, as is blood (for this game)
-I slept on Day 08, and a zombie dog woke me up, having crashed into the room. A zomebear soon follows, but having been weakened by the NPC I mcan kite it and shoot it with a nail gun.
-On the 9th day, I cleaned upn the zombear, and organized the mansion insofar as I planned to use.  I have a lined the tables up in a dining room so that I can lay out excess materials and tools, I have taken stock of my booze/food situation, and I have placed all the weapons in the car.
-I have a rack for zombie clothing that is in the hallway, and I placed food that needs to be cooked but is not perishable in the pantry.
-I went out Night 09.  I found a refugee center while searchng for welding equipment.  A factional remainsof the  GOV called the Old Guard has offered me a contract on the head of 3 outlaws in a cabin.  It is 50 overworld map tiles south of the location
- I agreee, Ive been meanind west of my masnion.  A river and anthill to the far north, the refugee center to the north and east, and
-I spend a few days dinking around, including a full day spent reading and tunkerng with my car, turning it into the named 'lootwagon'.  It has 2 hatches for doors, and trunks and reinforced headlight that shroud the drver but lght everything else.
-Pic 012, I loot three gun stores, 2 of which has sparse ammo.
-I go to that armored humvee I saw.  I plan to take what I can from it and speed off.  The ants cant bite through the metal, and kill anything that can smash through before they get close, so Im safe for the moment while In the car.  pic 013
-I return back to the masion and sleep for 10 hours.  I begin unloading the heavy frames, and it occurs I could make a cart to speed it up.  I go to collect 4 pipes.
-A survivor tells me to drop my weapon, which was a pipe.  So I did and pulled my revolver.  Good story.
-I begin working on a folding bike.   I am missing a saddle, for one.
-After unloadng the heaviest of parts, I went to go boil water, and the fire trailed off into the mansion.  It went up fast and hard.
-I sit in the light of the fire, cleaning the water in the immense heat.
-I then go and collect over 1000 nails from the outside perimeter of the ruin, and will deconstruct my crafter cart and fold up my incomplete bike to take with me.  Shame about the tent.
-On my way out of the mansion drive I hit an NPC weilding a flamer.  Kind of half opps.  I swerved as he kept moving and we collided.
-After my tragic lose, I went into the field and took stock of my supplies. I lost much of the long-term supplies I had accrued, and was left with the heavy frames and more immediately useful tools and booze.  I was planning to go sober soon too, the constant need to drink is quite unhelpful
-I go to the farm to sleep the day away.  I need to restart my kevlar/steel/plastic/leather/cloth collections, and begin there, in the house of the dog pack.  They have a cow corpse in the bathroom, half-eaten.
-I head east and south, scouting the fields.  I find some drop crates and another suburb.
-I stop at a sewage treatment plant west of the town I started in.  It is close to the cabin where my mission is.  I plan to detox there.
-I stocked all my food inside and threw my last bottle of wine into the sewage.  I used it to craft clean water.  Hopefully I have enough food to break the addiction.
-By balls of day 20 I am cured, and sleep the night alcohol addition free. pic 016b
-Traveling down the road that leads from the sewer plant to town  find a shelter off to the side.  It is lightly populated with zombies and clean except for the minor window damage the zombies have caused.  I may keep it if I survive.
-I craft pipe bombs and some metal fists until night time, and head off armed with a steel spear, a .45 pistol, as c4storm, and the metal glove.
-Upon arriving, I step on a landmine and blast open the window in front of me.  I am relatively well armored, and take moderate damage.  Leaning in and flashlighting, I see 3 bandits.
-They shoot at me with automatic fire, but mostly miss.  I light and throw a malotiv.  It lands directly in front of one, incinerating him.
-A second runs around the flame and to thew window.  Taking out my .45 pistol, I Blast his face off, and arriving more cautiously is a third bandit, who meets a similar fate.
-While we fight, the cabin is going up in smoke.  I grab their weapons, a browning and a crossbow, and leave the building to rot.  Since I dint know if the quest triggers on its own or not, I wait around.
-A jumping spider comes by, and a zombie dog spooks it.  I shoot them because I couldn't spear the spider.  A second spider comes.  Then a giant worm comes.  It bashes my head a bit until I pull out the pistol and blow it in half.
-By the time I butcher it the cabin is good and broiling.  It is time to head back and nurse my wounds.  Its balls30of Day 21, the last day of summer.

And some pics, that may or may not be referenced in the notes.

Spoiler: 01, Tom on Fire (click to show/hide)

I awake to find my bunkie Tom on fire.  A shame.

Spoiler: 02, my stats (click to show/hide)

I start with . . . 10str, 7dex, 13int, 9per.  2 points first aid (for some reason)

Spoiler: 08 Tankbot goes on a rampage (click to show/hide)

Tasked with defending the motel district, the Tankbot uses its flamer to utlimate effect, leveling the isolated neighborhood, and its few valuable stores, like the resteraunt, hardware store, and massive motel itself.  It is so busy chasing zoms and zoms him I was able to sneak in by leaving my car.

Spoiler: 11 Dogs everywhere (click to show/hide)

A quiet farm to the north and west of my location is housing a whole pack of dogs, loveable as long as you have a gun showing.  They were in every building, including the hayloft and barnhouse and actual house.  They cornered and killed a cow in the bathroom tub.

Spoiler: 14 Opps my mansion (click to show/hide)

I done burneded it

Spoiler: 016 Booze Free (click to show/hide)

I throw my coke bottle full of cheap wine into the sewage after cooking all my food and water.  Funny, I thought it would take longer than 18 hours or so.  I had way more food than required and I was afraid I'd run out!

Spoiler: 17 Nighttime arson (click to show/hide)

I was contracted by The Old Guard to kill the three bandits inside.  I stepped on a mine and alerted them, so I went immediatly to plan 'get fucked'.  I waited by the wall for them to try to escape, and popped them.  One was incinerated by that fire, being a direct enough hit, but I looted the other two and watched it burn.  Partly because I wasn't sure if my mission would update automatically.
  While waiting, 2 spiders, a zomdog, and a giant worm paid their respects. m Without the .45 I'd be dead for sure.

This is day 21 now, and the lasty day of summer.  A week for every RL month.

[Zireael]

Pisskop, that is one amazing story! Pity about that mansion

[Akura]

I got the setting for monster upgrade times messed up. That might explain why I've got hulks and huge boomers and the like right outside my start location, I set it to 0.05.

How do I scroll down when I view an item in my inventory.  Say a gun with several mods that scroll off the screen or a huge book full of crafting recipes.

Quoting since I want to know the answer to this too.

I just discovered that grass is able to catch fire on it's own without any items in the tile.  A cooking fire outside of my house very rapidly started spreading to adjacent tiles while making scrambled eggs.  Seems I tossed a bit too much garbage and it got up to a light red fire level and started spreading.

Fortunately despite not having a fire extinguisher I remembered some cool behavior from probably a year ago and started dumping bottles of water on the spreading fire.   And....it actually worked.  I guess the cata devs thought of everything.  The water either weakened the fires or put them out entirely.

Good job devs
