What? Black pudding is blood.

[IcyTea31]

It's also a type of sausage, if you wrap it in an intestine. Saying 'black pudding is blood' is like saying 'bread is flour'. It's true, but there's more to it.

[Dorsidwarf]

Haggis is really just a big chunky sausage, with the same look, texture, odor and taste. The difference is that you know what haggis is made of.

I challenge your assertion! I have no clue what's in haggis (except traditional haggis which is AFAIK just a stomach with the ends sewn up and cooked) but I damn well know what's in my sausages. At least, I do when I can find my recipie book.

[Sheb]

Ok, looking it up, it seems that the issue is on my end, I though Black Pudding was a generic name for sausages made of blood, while it seems to refer to a Nordic/English variant that do contain a lot of oatmeal, unlike the blood sausages we have here which are mostly blood, onions and some pork meat.

In my defense, there are many sausages I don't like either. Not all, but probably most.
Includes true blood sausages. The extra high iron/hemoglobin content really turns me off the taste.

I'm finding out (via shitty water supply system for my rental) that rusty pipes make for water that can make me throw up on taste/smell too, so there's that.
It's kinda depressing since I've rarely ever had a problem with plain old water from the tap.

You probably shouldn't be drinking water from rusty pipes. And not just because of the taste.

[n9103]

Indeed. Invested in a filter system (first time ever). Doesn't help when showering or brushing teeth or washing dishes though. :-/

[TheBronzePickle]

Gallon jugs of water are your friend. I personally recommend distilled, since it's about as pure and inert as water can get. It should be pretty cheap, too, less than a dollar a gallon. It's obviously more expensive than using your home water supply, but it's still a good deal usually.

[BigD145]

Report the property owner to the city. If your city/state/country have lax laws then there's nothing you can do except move somewhere else.

[n9103]

Filter system works fine, and cheaper than gallon jugs (even before including the gas to refill/acquire such).
Code enforcement has heard many other problems from me within the last week, and there's at least a 7 day grace period before they can take actions. The rusty water is probably the least of my concerns since it's already been worked around. Showers and washing dishes are unpleasant, but tolerable.

Thankfully, this place only has 5 months to go, and that I only had to do a 6 month lease.
Thanks for the advice though.

Anybody ever have any sort of success with the mall cop scenario? It seems like the only way to actually live to me is to have 3 in dodging and driving and then book it to the parking lot and hope there's something quick with the keys in it and some fuel... Also I'm getting mapload errors in 0.C that have been deleting all of my supplies from my houses. Any idea why/ how I would stop that?

[Akura]

The only mapload errors I've seen are when entering new underground areas(basements, etc), and those usually stop on return trips.


I found an abandoned storefront with a lava chasm running through the back wall. I guess that's why it was abandoned. Unless it's Dwarf Fortress, a lava channel running through you store can't be good for business.

I haven't tried in the recent versions but I had a successful mall cop start a while ago. You're right that you have to escape pretty much immediately, too many zombies to survive early on. I managed to escape on foot simply by booking it out one of those iron doors you start by. Luckily most zombies in malls are normals so you hopefully won't see anything that can outrun you. Taking fleet footed would probably be a good idea.

Pro-tip: Don't kill zombie grenadiers in close combat.

RIP Whatever your name was.


After two more deaths: try to kill 'em from as far away as possible (ok, the last one was an elite version).

Damn, I was a bionic officers starting in a house with an infection, found a FN P90 an ammo in a basement, managed to kill a hulk, then died several squares away from the elite grenadier. And someone thought bio operators were bad.

Do the grenadiers have an unlimited amount of drones?

[azmodean]

No, the drones are limited, so if you can manage to repeatedly provoke them and then not get hurt you can run them out of ammo.
