Didn't realize Hitchhikers don't start with shoes. Seems like that was it.
That, on the other hand, is probably a bug. :P I'll report that one if it hasn't been fixed yet in the experimental. Do note that our Hitchhikers are "the Hitchhikers Guid to the Galaxy" type of Hitchhikers, though, so they probably won't get any sort of fancy shoes.

Indeed! I noticed the bathrobe, towel and book once I was in-game. I just missed the reference and it didn't even occur to me that a non-shower-victim wouldn't have at least sneakers. It's been... interestingly fatal... trying a hitchhiker/burning house start barefoot.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

It is still amusing to me that 'Shotuguns: The art and science' and 'The homebrewer's bible' can be found in the school library.
I would be absolutely shocked if any library system (so not every library in a county/etc, but at least one of them) didn't have at least a few books about home-brewing, or about reloading. Well, maybe in some parts of Utah they wouldn't... but other than that, both subjects are a part of American heritage.

I found 'To Serve Man' in a school library once, the one that teach you how to cook human flesh.

Does anyone else find it basically impossible to fight dogs and small game with melee weapons? I have a melee and bashing weapon skill of 3 and I still can't land a single hit on an injured dog. It's been coming up close, hitting me once, retreating, coming close, hitting me once, and so on and so forth for a good distance now, and I just can't hit the little bastard. Is this character just done for?

If you have any torso encumbrance, say, your starting winter jacket, take it off. Your effective combat skill level is your melee + weapon skill - your torse encumbrance, in practice. Against most zeds, once you have some weapon skill, you can safely wear a jacket and backpack and bomf them to death. Against something smaller and dodgier, the encumbrance is a lot more crippling.

I find waiting for dogs to get close and whacking them works great. But then, I found a mansion with a broadsword right after spawn.

I don't usually mess with the wildlife.  No reason to.  But I just shotgun pshoot the critters of the woods if they get in my way.

I've found that fast weapons like knives or your bare hands works well against fast enemies like dogs. Otherwise you might want to reduce your torso encumbrance like others said.

Turns out I was still wearing my blanket. Took it off and solved my problem quite handily.

They are lighter/ faster than their living counterparts? You're aiming for less mass.

:P Exactly what I thought.


I can't seem to get the tile studio to do what I want. I'm trying to make it so the game will use the same texture for multiple objects but each time I save everything gets reverted back X(

Edit: And Hitler died to a giant wasp. Is there any reason why my forked spear kept being damaged? And how am I supposed to repair it?
