When people say "coffee bar" I tend to think of Starbucks and the like. Compared to a café which sells tea and bad coffee and cakes and greasy meat-based-foods of questionable safety. That might not be a real terminology thing though.

The term café has two common meanings really. Greasy spoon being another name for the type you mean. I was just saying that shops that focus mainly on coffee have been with us since before we got the USA style of the same thing.

*finds a big 9x9 military outpost full of bandits most of them with military firearms*

*none of them have magazines shoot with*

*Butchers them all with a nodachi*

And here I was getting excited that I had a reason to bust out the power armor and all these fancy CBMs. Normal outposts with turrets are more dangerous.

[ShinQuickMan]

Talk about a gang of paper tigers. Yeesh.

Most mods havent yet been updates for magizines.  Most are now doingso.

It would be actually fun to have NPCs try to mug you while threatening you with empty firearms. You would only find that out by calling out their bluff. Or alternatively, firearms with just one or two shots left. I imagine that civilians unused to guns would waste shitloads of ammo emptying their clips into zeds, especially with guns capable of burst fire.

 The day when NPCs can have traits is the day when every NPC with a gun that can go fully auto has triggerhappy.

 If not by default, than via mod.

Not exactly trigger happy, but not exactly a step in the other direction.  Give it an automatic weapon and itll do.

My favorite all-time story is still finding a wandering NPC, watching it empty a hundred rounds at a squirrel (they all missed), walk up and bash the squirrel to death with the gun, then die punching a zombear.

The future is now.

[Aseaheru]

 Right, so creatures that cant hurt my char can still cause bleeding.

 That appears slightly bullshit.

[Akura]

Feral Predators, I assume? Yeah, theirs is an automatic torso bleeding effect. Personally, I hate most of those evolved special zombies.

[Orange Wizard]

I usually turn monster evolution off.

[Aseaheru]

I have it set to the minimum possible without having it off.

[Orange Wizard]

Do you mean maximum (i.e. 100)? Minimum would be 0.01 and make evolution really fast.

[pisskop]

Evolutions depend upon a few things

- Season Length.  The longer the season, the slower the evo.  [The game may be considered easier if you use high season length]
- Monster Difficulty.  Each monster has a difficulty rating, and that seems to help determine when they can start spawning.
- Half-Life.  Each monster can have their evo timing offset by a number in their raws, a 'half-life' that presumably determines when 50% of them will try to evolve upon spawning/returning to the bubble.
- Group settings.  To a limited degree, I can control the evolution speed by 'clogging' the evo tree with false branches or evolutions into a weaker or same-tier monster.

My Sleepy, Heavy Sleeper catgirl just turned off her alarm clock and kept on sleeping.

Cheeky little cat.


EDIT: Also, why do brass knuckles not work with brawling?
