I could see doing this as an invitational, or with people I knew well.  But MP DDA with strangers?  No thanks. 

This is my feeling on basically any of the current crop of multiplayer survival games that seem to be popular at the moment.  Just not interested in the grief fest.  Its like UO meets Lord of the Flies but with less consequences for your behavior.

If Player_encumbered() == yes
then
spawn_zombies(100), run "lol_player_fucked.exe"

Pretty sure it's exactly as the old one did, only it's more granular.

I can close it off to just Bay12 if that's what you lot are more keen on. I'm still here guys, just talk to me.
Yeah, it's kinda offensive that you think that all of us Bay12 people here are gonna be griefers by default. :P (/sarcasm)

I'm using PuTTY. Lightweight but still customizable and highly compatible.
Something to note though, is that this looks much better if you make sure you're using CP437 or similar, and not UTF-8 or other modern character sets, which PuTTY happens to default to.

Great! I thought I was going to be stuck with all those random characters for walls. Everything works just fine for me otherwise.

Edit: it seems my settings get reset every times I open PuTTY. Am I missing something or do I have to change everything back every times?

Save the session settings (in the session section of the menu) when you're ready to connect and/or save them from within the session through the menu that you get from r-clicking the titlebar.
If you're not going to use PuTTY for anything other than DDA, you can just save over the defaults (wouldn't recommend), otherwise you'll need to input a name into the textbox above the list then hit save.

In addition things can get really weird if you try to overlap reality bubbles (if it even lets you, I can't remember what the current code is on that). So try to avoid that from happening (i.e. if somebody is coming to dig the other out of a lab have the trapped person log out while the other person digs the hole, then have them log back in after the digger has left.

Also IIRC food stuff works on timestamp difference, so you can end up with things where food that was on the verge of being rotten to one player is still perfectly edible to another, or things like if the spring player butchers the rabbit and then the summer player comes around the meat will suddenly turn rotten.

Just found myself boosting fabrication from 0 -> 1 by making a rock in a sock, disassembling it, then making it again, and so on until I leveled up. What kind of madman must my character be to decide it's a good idea to take one of his socks off, stuff a single rock in it, then take it out again until he comes to some insight? The image is hilarious, even more so because it worked exactly as intended.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Okay you win. That is the laziest, most post-modern skillup journey ever. I thought banging rocks together until I suddenly understood tailoring was funny, but I got nothing on this.

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.

What I take away from this is that 0 fabrication characters have a literally toddler-tier object permanence.
