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!

THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

always

Make a sign for a grave marker.

"On this site, 200 children lost their unlives while trying to eat my brains. Every last one of them won a Darwin Award because they walked on nailboards until they redied. rip in pepperonis, never forget."

I have to say I really miss all the zombears and -dogs spawning near your hideout. There just seems to be no reason anymore to fortify your stationary home, because you are safe once you cleared out the immediate surroundings. I remember getting up in the morning, repairing two broken windows from the nightly incursions, killing two zomdogs and a zombear, then getting some breakfast. After a while I had surrounded my house with traps and pits and a palisade for my patio.

It would be even more fun now with the turrets and stuff.

You could always see about combining the static and swarm spawn systems. Have large groups of creatures 'migrate' until they get close to the reality bubble, then have them start to split up into individuals that actually wander in.

Towns aren't too bad for me. Gotta remember, you can see further than they can, and there is an indicator when they can see you. Keep them from smashing cars, the noise attracts more. Draw off individuals, and this goes double for shriekers. I don't know why everyone goes for the knife spear. I prefer the war scythe or stone spear - until I picked up a war hammer. If you see a brute, shocker, or especially shocker brute, turn around, it's not worth it.

I imagine zombie kids are some kind of memetic hazard.

Speaking of turrets, are there any plans to nerf the old ones? Apparently all it takes to make an automatic M2 Browning turret with remote control and target acquisition is just the M2 Browning machinegun, with none of the fancy (and realistic, and fun) bells and whistles that the vehicle expansion mod introduces for its turrets.

Also, @Rince Wind: you may be remembering Dynamic Spawn. Also, wildlife does spawn still - it just tends to get attacked by zombies now.

Or, if you don't mind a lot of crafting, go archery. I killed a Shocker Brute with a longbow, at night, because the bugger couldn't see or hear me and I had a hundred wooden arrows with its name on it - and almost every hit on an unaware enemy is a critical.

I believe that is what the devs are heading towards.

[Rince Wind]

I know wildlife still spawns, it just seems way less, probably due to the infighting. I'd like to just raise the spawn rates for zombified animals.

...You do know that the M2 browning is a .50 caliber machinegun, right?  Just about nothing short of a tank or hardened bunker can withstand concentrated fire from one of those.

[Aseaheru]

 Its also the largest round you can get before your gun is a cannon.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yes I know. I stripped two, off of two separate APC wrecks. I converted one into a sniper cannon.

However large its caliber, it should not be able to identify targets, rotate, and fire on its own. All I need to have right now in order to install a fully autonomous M2 Browning turret onto my vehicle, is a welder and the M2 Browning machinegun itself. I find the DIY turret kits of the vehicle expansion mod to be far superior in spirit.

[Descan]

At the very least, you should need a laptop/computery-thingy and some swivel-chair parts.

Maybe a camera too.

Are you using the newest version? The pre-bundled version is months behind.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I'd very much like it if you could simply "mount" machineguns. No turret, just basic firing in one direction, or within a very restricted arc (simulating finer aiming with the steering wheel than the 16? vehicle directions allow).

Yeah, I'm on the 0.C (or 0.C.1 as the extracted folder calls itself) stable version. Stopped using experimentals since I've stopped participating in the development for now, it's impossible to keep up with those things when you're focusing on just playing the game anyway.

[Aseaheru]

Yah, the stable version of turret should be require someone manning it.

Infact, that should be a thing. Turret variants that need a gunner. Basic unarmored, armored, and autonomous variants of every turret... Gives a reason to grab NPCs!
