But when you've jumped on a fence, you are directly on top of it. That should take stamina.

the way the game displays what's happening, it sounds like the player is jumping from fence post to fence post instead of just walking along the damn thing like a normal person would. Also, these fences could have wider-then-normal tops, making walking along them easier. anyways, the tl;dr of my idea is that:
ground -> fence = stamina cost
fence -> fence = no stamina cost
fence -> car = stamina cost

And on crafting-What about generated steel mills that have steel ingots, and some of the stuff you need for crafting-You could craft pistols, rifles, etc. as your blacksmithing skills goes up as well as the ammo for them. Imagine a survivor settlement, building large barricades and rifles and such. Wish there was a realistic farming system too, that way you could hold out for extended periods of time.

Gunsmithing would be useful, if guns could take damage from use. Obviously in order to make a gun you'd need things like lathes, mills, and welding equipment; probably a new district type called "Industrial" that has workshops and warehouses. However, steel mills would be pretty much shut down immediately in a zombie apocalypse, so they'd end up being pretty boring.
Farming would definitely be "just dicking around now" end-game, assuming it'd take even a fraction of real-life time to get the plants to grow. You'd need a way to clear the trees in parks to get enough open space to do anything effective.

Well, Farming would have to be balanced out, since obviously it's not easy to farm for yourself and others in a zombie apocalypse. Maybe it would require a skill, and when plants finish growing they have a chance to survive based on A. how many times water reached them, B. How many times stepped on, and C. Farming level of character who planted them. It would take a few days to grow the crops yes, and they would go bad faster unless stored in a fridge, but it'd be a self-sustainable thing.

Chainsaws? Additions to grocery stores so we can "purchase" (Read: Steal the shit out of) seed packets?

Chainsaws, a survivor's best friend during a zombie siege. Course, chainsaws do use gas.

- New : 4 spraypaint colors to tag with.

JOY :stimpy:

[USEC_OFFICER]

Yay! My idea was added in the game! (or collective idea with other people.) Also, did anybody else notice that the bay12 forums are in the credits?

EDIT: Verison 4. Play. Now.

[Mechanoid]

Havn't even got to playing yet and already the awsome levels are off the charts.

Also, typos in the help menu.

EDIT: Turns out its X

Am I crazy, or do all the humans have glowing blue eyes now?

Anyone else get an application error saying

Just found some awesome hidden stuff.

Lowest level of police station: one prisoner asks to be freed, tells you location of CHAR underground base, turns into zombie prince after being freed.  WHOA.

Yeah, that was pretty crazy. The other prisoners blocked me to death the first time, but on the second attempt I escaped and left the police station to turn into a zombie clusterfuck. Didn't make it to the underground base, though.

Warning: more crazy...

It gets awesomer.  Underground base has another zombie prince, as well as many other high-powered zombies.

Some problems i've found:
- Pushable objects will spawn on entry/exit points for sewers, basements, etc. This can trap Ais and the player. [Ais that start in basements may do not seem to leave, at least from what i've noticed.]
- Zombies can attack pushables that are on entry/exit points for sewers, basements, etc... BUT the player is not able to. Resulting in trapping the player, as above.
- Furniture cannot be moved from or into basements. I attepted this with a bed by pushing the bed over the stairs and pressing x to go down the stairs. I was blocked by the normally passable bed, as in the above.

- Max civilians does not go up to 100%
- Max undeads does not go up to 300% x3

One issue that i've realised has been in the game for a long time:
- AI's will usually build barricades in broken windows that have a barricade material or other items on the square that's the same as the window. The game should ask the player wether they want to pick up the item that's on the barricade, or bash the barricade, or cancle the action.

Am I crazy, or do all the humans have glowing blue eyes now?

Those are glasses... For the 'nerd' survivors. Every zombie apocalypse needs a nerd!

[Edit - Something interesting:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The CHAR employee in the police station lockup has a full inventory of army rations. You have roughly until day 3 to reach the employee before he eats all his food. Maybe longer if he spawned the game with Light Eater, and continued to get Light Eater for each of his skill-ups.

Suggestion:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This character should start with Hauler 3 for TEN army rations, Light Eater 3, and Awake 3. This way the character will be more likely to be awake when the player comes by, will be around for longer so the player has more time to do his thing.
When this character dies from starvation or otherwise not having informed the player, the player should get a message "You feel depressed for a moment."

Also, AI's will build barricades if they have carpentry. LOOK AT THEM GO! WHEE! ]

Looks pretty cool, I'll give it a shot. I need something to do in my present state, rather than mooching around and dwelling on the recent happenings. Shall keep you posted.
