I want to know why they were just letting some possibly infected lunatic who is obviously a serial killer in their hospital.

If I were faced with an axe-wielding psycho, I'd let him in. The other option is that he goes right through me.

That sounds like a nightmare to me. The largest irk I have with followers is that they always seem to get sleepy earlier than you! Unless you're good at syncing with them, then it's easy to deal with that many followers. You haven't changed the rules have you? Or are you save scumming by any chance?

Cellphones are still useless IMO, unless they've changed of course. I've yet to see one for some strange reason. Personally, I'd like it if in future updates you start with a cellphone that doesn't take up any space and only occasionally needs new batteries (maybe every two or three days); the same should go for companions. Speaking of changes, I've noticed that there do not seem to be as many items left in shops; how long has this zombie thing been going on for? Anyway, I've yet to use a grenade. Someone tell how it works.

I don't know if you could do it before, but it's pretty easy to manage followers with the new directives. You just disallow and allow sleep when you want them to sleep. I used all the standard rules and due to only finding a single cell phone in 30+ days I never used those either. I found a basement with a lot of guns and ammo and I converted a corner to a safehouse. I stayed in and around this safehouse, getting as much of the army drops as I could. By the time I got my first follower I had about 40+ items stashed down there. I made my follower a safehouse guard and she slept whenever I didn't (she'd still wake if someone was breaking in). Then I added two more followers and lived off the ridiculous amount of food I stashed for a few days, repeating the same process of raiding army drops. Once I started moving around the world the sleep thing wasn't so bad. I just had all three sleep while I stayed up and either had more sleep points from the trait or popped blue pills.

Grenades get thrown, never seen them miss a target, and in about one turn or so do 20ish damage to everything in about 3 square radius.

Just saying again I am also running windows 7 64 bit and am getting seemingly random crashes. Makes it semi-unplayable as I get immersed and forget to save, so I lose sometimes a lot of progress. Kind of my fault that I don't save regularly, but then again there should not be bugs ideally! Oh well, it's still alpha!

You'll also notice the doctors have nurse followers, I thought that was pretty cool.  Not sure what purpose they serve other than carrying bandages/medkits and closing doors.
i think the hope is that eventually a skill like "medic" will allow you to use those medical skills on other NPCs, including the NPC giving you its medical supplies in order for you to patch it up; or for one NPC to heal another using the higher medical skill. Presumably if this happens, you can go into the hospital early in the game and recruit a good medic into your follower team. (assuming you can, because i haven't tried yet)

I learned after the first few to save like a mofo because of this. We really should be sending our log files to the dev so he can fix this. I tended to notice most crashes happened when encountering a large amount of supplies (like an army drop) and having my teammates set to pick up automatically. I assume it's some sort of pathing/choice overload.

It's the way it sounds when he calls out that he's found/grabbing/using pills.

Dunno about the new ally, but:

I did go down the hospital. Had to run out, because when I went in everyone was alive, but when I was going up, they were all zombies.
On the blog it says that gangstas are supposed to appear.
I heard hiphop-ish music once.

Maybe it's related, and the new allies are black men in rapper clothing. With guns. And drugs. Not that I'm racist.

Anyone else trying to find out what's causing the crash?  I noticed it tends to happen almost immediately after a new wave of refugees.

Also, here's a cool family photo.
