Colds/flu can get pretty annoying to deal with. My @ seems to be sick 1/3 of the year even though I'm well protected from cold and wet. Might need to wear a gasmask 24/7 and get used to the movement penalty.

Just like in real life, ambient diseases come from poor health, not from cold air. You have a hidden health stat, and all comestibles have a hidden healthiness factor. Eat vitamins and healthy foods e.g. veggies, and only use unhealthy things like drugs and junk food when you really need the boosts they provide. Constantly wearing a gas mask works too, but it might not be worth the penalties.

This. I find one of the easiest ways to improve your health is drinking tea (I prefer pine needle tea but I believe any will do it) instead of water. You drink quite a lot every day, so even a fairly small boost there pays big dividends.

Vitamins are pretty easy.

Stay away from junk food in general, or using it to give your character a morale boost before crafting/reading/sewing and then eating vitamins works well.

Most booze is pretyy unhealthy, as is whole meals of junkfood.

Acrons, veggies, chunks of meat, jerky, milk, organic unprocessed foods mostly.  And finding a flu shot or vaccination is going to make your job a lot easier.


And failing all of that you can wear multiple dust masks or a filter/gas/pba mask and get complet immunity to diseases caused by inhalation or ambiancy.



But bad health slows down your healing while sleeping.  To the point where it can actually stop completely.  thats bad, because healing with items is expensive when you have to do it outside of combat.

Ew, hidden numbers...

Anyway, I sort of want to try this game again but I have no real idea of where to start. Any help?

Take the experimental.  play.  umm, guns can have magizines, zombies evolve into harder forms, acid is less of a dick, cities spawn too small, labs are too rampent, and hordes are a little more sensical.  As are npcs.

Or the stable.  I have a guide in the wiki that covers the stable pretty well.  And most of the stable mechanics are covered pretty well in the wiki by now.  But the latest experimental changes might obsolete some of those . . .

 Dont turn on z-level viewing, it is buggy and laggy.

 Buggy asin zombies teleporting through floors, laggy as in death to your computer.




 Also, if cities spawn too small, why are all of mine either four structures or forty, with nowhere in between?

I have mine set at 12 size with 5 in-between, and I get modestly size cities (like size 6 in the stable) or 3 house cites.

Im not really happy with it, and in the latest experimental I tried I actually deleted from my computer because it kept genning worlds with no houses for me to spawn in.



I want large cities, but instead im getting hamlets with shops.

 Weird. I get massive cities with town size three and distance five.

o.o

So using smaller cicites gave me more spread out small cities and 1stopsign cities.  These were all closer together, and occassionally a larger city would form (about 2x as large as the vault city)

Using size 8 (the size i used in 0.C), I got much more spread out cities.  Which I want, I want larger-ish tracts of wilderness between cities.  I dont mind the small towns, along the way, prefer it even, but I want large emptiness in between large cities.  So large that getting into the middle of them would require a sewer system or a ramrod of a truck.

Thats neat-o actually.  It sems the mapgen is forcing these small 4house cities to spawn, and at a distance where cities would other wise spawn.  Which means in order to get a better spacing smaller numbers for larger cities.

Honestly, a little tag up near Stamina that says something about energy levels, or just a straight "Nutrition: Shitty!" or whatever, kind of like how you can tell if you've been getting decent food lately by how lethargic you feel or how you're constantly hungry, would do wonders. Not only would it tell you if you're getting decent nutrition in a way that's not immersion breaking, but it'd also let new players know that, hey, junk food all the time is bad both in real life AND in game!

Just take junkfood intolerance! It'll be red, so you know not to eat it and you can concentrate on other food. And a free point as well!

Tough question.

Maybe make a giant multitile pyre out of their clothes, set it on fire and dance around it, drunk on high quality alcohol?
It is not the same, I know. :(
