i don't find the grenade....   

Basements sometimes have them, along with a shotgun and assorted ammo too.

I just lead an awesome zombie revolt as The Prisonner Who Should Not Be's Zombie at the police station.

I did something like that, but as a Master at the hospital. T'was fun.

(Spoiler Alert) I found that guy in the hospital, then gave myself the goal of turning every generator on. I then died like 3 times trying to do it. It opened the storage rooms. How usefull was that. (I guess if you killed the serial killer he would have given you his axe)

You know you can beat the iron doors down now, right?

[dogstile]

What's the fun in that?

I made CHAR office my base. In one of my previous lives, I lured out the guard.

What do I do? Waiting sounds boring, though I could wait almost infinitely downstairs. Though, the longer I wait, the harder it will be to get to the sewers.... I am also doing permanent death, so no "just keep trying till you win!". I also have access to grenades, maybe I could use those, though I may have used them all up downstairs......

"Edit" Went downstairs for some grenades, and they....disappeared.

I don't know if it's normal, but when I entered the CHAR underground base, it was just a hellhole full of fully evolved undead, and more zombie princes than you can wave a stick it.

The Char underground base starts at the beginning of the game with basically an equal number of char guards and zombies. Now, if these said zombies are unevolved, or some are evolved, I don't know. I like to think of the Char underground base as where it all started, with them testing(the prisoner who should not be, who got away). Anyway, the earlier you arrive there, the less "evolved" zombies you encounter, but the more char guards you will have to fight through(which are easily dispatched by hunting rifles + flashlight, you can outrange them with your LOS). However, late game, there will be no char guards.....the zombies will have only your scent to follow, and there will definitely be more princes. So its a lot harder late game imo. I arrived around day 14, took me about 6 days to clear out the place(fully explore after turning on the wonderful lights), and encountered probably roughly 5 zombie prices max(will all the ammo laying around, it wasn't hard). Its definitely easier to clear the place out if you have the axe, since then you don't have to carry ammo and constantly run back to the NW corner to reload.

Remember, nothing spawns in there. Every zombie dead is one less to deal with. Once you clear out the place, there is enough cans of food to last weeks. But....that's boring. Oh, and also, go straight to a corner in a diagonal fashion, then move around the edge of the base to turn on the generators. Your scent will less likely pick up zombies, and your scent will be less concentrated in general. If all this doesn't help, I guess I can say remember to use the abundance of items in there, wasting isn't really that bad when you have 100 shotgun bullets lying around.

How do you break things that are blocking manholes? I just ran halfway across the map through hordes of zombies to jump down a manhole, run all the way to the sewer maintenance hacking down zombies as I ran to push some junk out of the way that was blocking my end of the sewer system, not allowing me to go down my manhole.

On your Z-lv? k is for breaking stuff.

Through a manhole or stairs? No way, not that I know of.

Strange, the undead are capable of attacking things on other z-levels by standing over/under it.

Since when? I have never seen an undead do that. Screenshot? 

"Edit" In the fixes for alpha 5, I remember it mentioning something about "outside of district zombies shown bashing". This may be related. Has it happened this version?

After breaking the drawer, the zombie seemed content with destroying my defenses and wandered off.

The error you're talking about was a graphical glitch related to the "attacker" icon (a yellow box) appearing in the skill window when the zombie attacked the furniture that was blocking the stairs. They can still, and have always been able to, attack the furniture object on the stairs.

The player not being able to attack furniture on stairs is probably an interface design oversight that'll be fixed eventually, like the asymetric line of sight/fire.

edit - Anyways, here's a link to an image of the impossible-to-move-car emergent gameplay i posted about before:

As you can see, each car has no place to be pushed into; the large barricades can be replaced with small barricades or other cars, or other furniture... As long as no zombie master types shows up to jump cars and break things, it should always be impossible to enter as a zombie; wether they can push things or not.

The game is riddled with little oversights such as these, but thats why its an alpha anyway
You can become permanently stranded if you're on top of a car surrounded by other climbable surfaces if you get below the stamina limit, if there's a zombie around. You can wait and rest to move because the zombie will keep interrupting your wait, so your stamina is permanently low and you can't move.
