Blood and oatmeal actually sounds like the best of both worlds.

[Greiger]

Odd bugs I noticed, and it may be my own fault for playing with both experimental multi floor buildings, z-levels, and z-level vision but I've been seeing a lot of monsters seemingly appearing out of nowhere next to me, a lot of messages about zombies falling down z levels, and near an office tower cars and wreckage seeming to change their facing direction on revisit.

Of course I know this stuff is all experimental, but I figured I'd report it somewhere and I don't remember my password for the cata forum.

I'm playing 0.C and I can confirm you can still find power armor on zombie soldiers; it's just super rare it seems.

As for the power helmet debate that's a tougher one. I found Mk.II power armor and a Mk.I power helmet in a bank vault once. I'm just roam banks at the moment trying to find a matching helmet. Also CVD labs are super fucking rare or something. I've hit up 9 labs and have yet to find a CVD machine...

[ShinQuickMan]

I've experienced otherwise. Really sucks to treck down a lengthy ice lab only to find yet another CVD machine instead of sweet loot. Well, that, or the completely useless Warp Terminal.

... Overall, wouldn't it make sense to almost always find a power armor helmet in the same place as you find a suit? Like, if one spawns, the other does as well?

I like this idea, but one or the other should be heavily damaged, pretty much one hit from destruction, since the person inside died somehow.

[TheBronzePickle]

I mean, the wearer could have taken off the helmet to do the 'I'm a badass' thing and then got promptly beaten in the face by a zombo, too.

[Egan_BW]

If you find it on a corpse. If it's in storage, it should be fine.

Also, never minding those who died of starvation, thirst, miscellaneous disease, or pre-existing injuries.

[Culise]

And on the flip side, someone might hypothetically put a power armor in storage if it's too damaged to protect them and they don't have the skills to repair it.

lore wise the game starts 5 dats after the bombs dropped.

the fungus, the Zmen, the triffids are all directly new.

True, but the game can continue for years following. Perhaps a gradiated droplist depending on time spent is in order?

You know, I'm currently spending some months in the UK

A week ago I walked into a coffee bar. I asked about black pudding (that is, I asked what it was exactly)

They told me it was vile stuff and advised me to ask for something else.

Can't say I'm too surprised. These days black pudding is seen by many as a novelty weird food. Where I work we sell little of it compared to almost any other meat product. Don't get me wrong it is eaten, but not as much as it was. It may be happen stance, but those of my family still living in Yorkshire and Derbyshire tend to be fond of it so there may be a North South divide thing going on too.

Yeah, coffee bars are awful. You can tell because they're centred around coffee, and are a very American thing.
Try a café.

I dunno coffee shops, coffeehouses, or cafés as they are also known, have been with us since the 17th century and were exported to the Americas with all the migrants. We have since imported the more USA style establishments, but they were Italian originally.

[Graknorke]

When people say "coffee bar" I tend to think of Starbucks and the like. Compared to a café which sells tea and bad coffee and cakes and greasy meat-based-foods of questionable safety. That might not be a real terminology thing though.

[Orange Wizard]

When people say "coffee bar", I assume they mean "café", which is a shop that sells coffee, tea, and food.
