I found some fungaloids and spores growing almost within view range of my shelter. Should I be concerned? I think I should be concerned. Not sure if I have the gear to deal with it though.

If you don't think you can take down the spine, you can consider your base lost.
They will keep multiply and overrun you within a few days.

I had similar situation with ant hill
day 1 : couple of worker show up, yes free food.
day 2 : I think there is more of them.
day 3 : I think this star to be a bit much.
day 5 : Holy sh#@ where is the floor( my screen completely fill with "a" )

So, what's the easiest way to update the game while keeping my save? Download the new version and unzip it over the old one?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Unpack the new version into a different folder, and transfer your saves folder. Assuming the versions are compatible, that should do it.

This right here. It's like DF, unzipping on top of the folder works often, but it's a recipe for disaster just waiting to happen. Note that the AIM is broken for these last few updates, we're working on getting it fixed up pretty quickly.

is it possible to recover spilled liquid on the ground?

Nope.

Where would the easiest place to find a welder be? Preferably at a building normal located on the outskirts of towns. I have yet to manage to survive a trip inside of the town.

[Sheb]

Public work building often have those. Beware of the shockers though.

Towns aren't that bad once you know what you're doing.

Basically bushkiting with fire to clear small areas of zombies, taking their clothes before they burn up and wearing ERRYTHING will generally keep you pretty much fine. Later you can chop up the extra clothes and use to reinforce the best stuff for less marshmallow tier agility with similar protection.

Then you just raid the "cleared" houses for all the loots you can carry.

You're also faster than most zombies when you're not overly chilled. One workable strategy (with some sort of backup plan for when you aggro a zombie dog or a feral hunter) is to craft the early-available nailboard traps. Sure, they're bulky, and you need to lead a zombie across six to eight rows of them until they keel over. But since you can generally keep running, you can just run around in circles and shave them down on the traps. Especially good against zombie children, because killing them via traps doesn't trigger the morale loss.

I'm not sure why killing zombie kids even gives a morale penalty to 'feel bad about killing'. If anything I'd be creeped out and want to kill ALL of the little shits because zombie kids are freaky and tiny and probably really fast. Like spiders.

Burn the schools!

Or maybe it's just amusing to look at. *Shamble shamble shamble*-*trip*-*impale*-*twitch twitch*. Funniest Home Videos material right there.

I don't need bushkiting or fire. I just keep a pile of sharp rocks in my pack to throw at zombies. If in doubt, run. That's how I got to day 7 spring with a character with no skills to speak of except throwing. In a recent experimental, so post skill gain rework.
I even killed two moose this way.
