I usually pick Lost Submissive just for the leather so I can make a waterskin or two and a funnel, to get some water.

[Baffler]

Just the default survivor, sometimes I take a tweaker or survivalist for hard and easy mode.

[Aseaheru]

 I vary a fair deal, mostly because I dont always start in the winter or I have a story of sorts I want to try out.

[UristMcDwarf]

how can i convert foot crank energy into car battery energy?

[TheBronzePickle]

Attach an alternator, if I recall correctly.

what profession do you guys usually pick?

I usually take tailor. Is this a mistake?

Tailor is pretty good. You should do fine.

As for me, since I usually pick mall cops, or rather, I'm stuck with them since I pick the mall scenario most of the time. When not doing that, I go with failed cyborg. My characters are always super genius' with dragon kung fu, so those annoying bionics won't remain a problem past the first season.

[Mephansteras]

I've found that SWAT Officer is a very strong start. Great starting equipment, a few useful abilities, and you don't have to worry about eyebots calling in copbots to kill you.

Who brings an umbrella into a shower?

The albino that needs to keep it nearby in case they need to run into sunlight and not get burnt? The same reason as those other objects, I'd say.

do you play with npcs on or no?

i like the atmosphere they add, and the survivor outpost is really cool, but 90 percent of my deaths are from npcs that seize goods

[azmodean]

I always assume that scenario is what happens when a shelter is home to some survivors that end up dying there. Other shelters are just cleaned out because everyone left by the time you start out, but some people died in the basement of this one, and all the items they had, found, or started with in the shelter, remain there with their reanimated bodies.

This.

[gimlet]

Yeah I never go down there without a pipe or 2x4...

[jocan2003]

So i have been searching for the famous refugere center to start that quest serie where you build a settlement and such... i have been searching since the god damn thing was a manual mod and i found over 12 refugee center, but the only thing i ALWAYS find in them is barricaded corridor and zombie behind that, no NPC NOTHING!

And yes.... i play with NPC both static and randoms....

[TheBronzePickle]

Obviously you keep getting there too late. Hence the zombie being there instead of an NPC.

[Akura]

Odd. I've had that problem until recently. The last time it occured I saw I had NPCs off, so I started a new world with them on, which worked apparently. Did you use the evac shelter console to find the center?

Spoiler: That barricaded bit (click to show/hide)

Is part of the first quest for the center. I'm not sure if killing them before receiving the quest breaks it, since I'm pretty sure accepting the quest spawns a named Shocker Zombie which the objective is to kill.

Playing with modding some heavy weapons. So far I've noticed that the ["BOUNCE"] flag on a projectile causes it to massacre just about anything around the impact site, rather than tearing through to targets behind. The first shot almost totally killed a 5x5 block of zombie children(yes, I test weapons on children), while a second shot fired at the adjacent building vaporized most of the corpses while doing no damage to the building. Likewise, and artillery shell with ["EXPLOSIVE_BIG"] and a damage of 4000 barely does damage to me when I shoot myself with it.
