I was thinking about that .

Oh man, I really need more time. I want to make a DF tileset too, with plump helmets instead of bandages.

This has been well done, thus far. Day 30, and still havent found a way to deal with

They should take the food and eat when hungry.
I think the only thing that it could be (because 1 and 3 aren't even triggered, and 4 isn't likely as there's no zombies around) is 2, but even when they do have an empty slot, they don't pick up food.  Or rather, they pick it up, but they don't SAVE it.  They immediately eat the food and then its wasted.  If they'd pick up food and save it for when they're hungry (or to just have a spare), it'd be much better.

They are programmed to eat only when hungry and I've never seen them eat when not hungry. I'll check again, might be a bug.

Keep posting AI suggestions, I'll read all of them but don't have time to answer all the points.

How about easy trading with your followers? i.e. giving them stuff that you want them to have and taking stuff that you don't want them to have.

PS: My current game is doing insanely good. Killing zombie masters with shovels, barely getting hit. It's fun. (Plus I pimped out my safehouse.)

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Deon, this game isn't out of Alpha yet and you've created two tilesets for it? At the rate you're going you'll have a full conversion mod before 5.0.

Well can you program them to carry spares?  Makes holing up with followers completely pointless. 

And here's an 'in-action' shot of the bug.



Both hungry.  I've waited several turns to allow them to pick up the groceries, but they just stand there.  Take item directive is on, and they both have free inventory slots (as shown with Patty).

i just want to kill other survivors.

[Orb]

Perhaps if you murder a survivor, or even attack one, near by survivors will attack you as well. They have a brain, so if you show your face again to those  same survivors, they will try to kill you again.

This.
I've been killed too many time by survivors that hover around the only exit while a zombie master and his entourage are coming behind us.

Well, that and some form of item decay/destruction, since every tile in the district will end up filled with empty weapons and leather jackets after a few weeks.

[Megaman]

Oh and I want the survivors to close doors behind them. Several times have I been killed because a damn survivor DIDNT CLOSE THE DOOR.

[Azurestrike]

It's highly unlikely now, but I once died sleeping next to soldiers and was trapped in a corner as a disciple swiped at me and two soldiers were sleeping right next to me. I had no chance since it got the first blow as I died right next to them.

Regarding items, maybe it would be nice to have a salvage skill, where you can take apart things to make new, and better things. That way, anything can be made into new items which are usable.

Personally, I wouldn't want that, I can imagine plenty of times dying to something fast because someone closed the door in front of me.

[Megaman]

Well then, wouldnt you close the door in front of the other guy if HE was chased by something fast? Also, I'm holding a safehouse right now and whenever I wake up somone opened my only enterence

[USEC_OFFICER]

Have you barricaded it?

[Megaman]

No... because if I did I would have no ENTERENCE, would I?
Edit: Critical AI error just occured causing a crash.

i usually put something big in frount of the door usually keeps em out
