I, personally, have set up in a 2-story brick house with basement

I've avoided Z-levels. It becomes a problem when you want to charge solar panels and all your crafting stuff and bed are on a different floor. Lots of wasted time.

Also, it seems like houses aren't always getting stairs to their basement. I've found two houses now where I could hear stuff moving below, but I went over every tile with a fine-toothed comb and there were no stairs. And before anyone asks, yes, I checked under every piece of furniture. I then opened up the cheat menu and edited in a set of downstairs, and sure enough they took me right to the houses basement.

[Aseaheru]

I mentioned that about two weeks ago. By my guess, 1/3 of all basements have no stairs down to them.

[Aseaheru]

Theres also electronics/chem basements, and the old survivalist basement, which In think has been killed off.

But, yes. More basements needed.

Things have gone well. it has got warm enough to plant seeds and I have done so, I also did more scouting and found out where that southern road leads, nothing really notable other then a fungal tower, my progress south was halted by a a couple of turrets on the road though, oh well, I was getting pretty far from home anyway. While at the school near town I find something, a functioning car! All it needs is some wheels and it will be ready to go, I was able to find a book that would get my mechanics skill up to three which is useful, unfortunately after a collision with a fungaloid my motorcycle is no longer functioning so I had to walk home.

After reading the book and getting some very much needed sustenance and rest I begin the trek into the town for a night raid to find what I need, luckily for me I was able to get a wrench and a welder along with a few other useful things and escaped the town in one piece. After finding a vehicle with replacement tires I went over to the now broken motorcycle and pounded on it with my quarterstaff until all that was left was the box in the back, I put the tires in the box and I go to the car and put on the wheels. Glorious! I now have a car, which I feel much safer riding in then on a motorcycle.

edit: RIP Maria day 70 spring year 1, you died in a car explosion, you never got to harvest your crops. You will be missed.

There's a new basement in the 3D models, the "2 bedroom" basement. It's neat!

[Aseaheru]

Its also empty of loot.

So I found a battered pickup truck and was driving it back to my base when I came across a nice RV. I decided to take the RV instead, but it had no battery charge.

As I was swapping out the battery from the pickup to the RV a big spider appeared right next to me. I ran into the pickup truck but the spider followed me inside, so I ran out the other side and mangaged to close the door just in time. I then ran round the back of the pickup to the otherside and closed the door, trapping the spider inside.

Just hope I don't forget there is a spider inside if I ever come back for it.

The spider promptly learns to drive and runs you down.

If a human can't drive effectively without years (driving skill is so damn sloooooow) of practice, what makes you think a spider can do better in 2 minutes?

[pisskop]

Yes?  No?  Would you accept this as a change?

Yes.  The answer is looking like its yes.

Eight eyes. Eight legs. One brain. A spider has the awareness of four humans and the agility of two. All vehicles in C:DDA seem to be automatic transmission and have cruise control. I'm sure it could figure out the technique well enough to run someone over pretty fast.

May Armok be merciful and allow us quick deaths by our new arachnid overlords.

Good god, I forgot I was in the C:DDA thread for a second :O

On the topic of vehicles (which is about 70% of the reason I play the game) is there any way to disable them spawning, or at least limit them in some way? I can usually get a working vehicle within the first day, and more than once it's been a tank or a luxury RV. I'd like to have to build a vehicle from scratch out of wood or scrap metal, or use parts salvaged from mostly destroyed wreckages, instead of finding a fully intact truck with the only damage being a scratched storage box.

Not afaik.

But, zombies have shown markedly more able to spread out in any area and destroy vehicles enough to disable them without  exploding the gas tank.  Theyre getting better at horde pathing and not killing themselves and being generally a problem.
