Is it possible to unlock a door without smashing it? Where can I see my status, I mean hunger etc.? Why can't I pick more objects when Wgt 130/170 Vol 86/102? I get "You're carrying too many objects" message. I've been hit with bile and can see only adjacent tiles, what can I do? How big is boomers' range? I get blinded out of nowhere.Why drinking bleach didn't kill me ? How set alight a molotov coctail? When I tired to use a lighter the gas station exploded

For the door im not sure if you can unlock it yet. I don't think there is any way to tell when your going to get hungry, unless your well hungry. And when you get the "You're carrying to many objects" message it just means that you have to many objects in your inventory, just see if you have any useless stuff like bottles or tin cans. When your hit with Bile it will attract any nearby zombies to attack you, it will eventually wear off. The other stuff im not sure of.

Also this is just a minor bug, but if you get the Carnivore mutation you can't take any drugs. It just tells you that you can only eat meat.

I will try to answer some:
Can't unlock doors that I've found, unless it has a card reader.

Press @ for status.

Maybe the object you want is too large? Or are all you 'letter slots' filled, perhaps?

Just wait for bile to wear off.

If your flashlight runs out it slowly decreases vision. Or your glasses broke and you are nearsighted. Or you entered a dark area.

Maybe 'a'ctivate the Molotov? Might need a lighter in inventory.

That's probably it. I hope that it will be fixed sonn.

When I wrote about getting blinded out of nowhere I meant I get shot with bile without seeing the zombie which hit me.
Being depressed after losing a companion is a bit unbalanced. A few turns before the gas station exploded I recruited one guy, when he died I was s depressed that all my stats reached 0 and it was something about "losing a friend". I think calling someone who you have just met "a friend" is some kind of exaggeration.

Tantrum spiral anyone?

Is there a way to make passworded saves on the server?
I just got back to a save of mine, and I think it's been played.

[quinnr]

Not yet. More save management is coming soon though

[x2yzh9]

I wish there was a way to make cooked meat/veggies without hotplates. Whales, can you add a possibility to make fires that act as hotPlates? It would take a long time and have a chance of failing unless your good at a certain skill.

[Bdthemag]

I can never seem to find hotplates, good thing I usually have a high electronics though so I can just make them. Have I mentioned how much I like the crafting in this game?

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Yep, just 'a'ctivate a crowbar and use it on the door. Then you can close it so zombies can smash it all up.

Where can I see my status, I mean hunger etc.?

You can't see your exact hunger, but '@' brings up all the character information we can know at the moment.

I've been hit with bile and can see only adjacent tiles, what can I do? How big is boomers' range? I get blinded out of nowhere.

I'm pretty sure Boomers only have something like 4 tile range for their bile. I was able to close into one fast enough with my Jean Claude Van Damme character to take it out before it spewed onto me. Then I totally forgot all of my Left For Dead playing and didn't realize that Boomers explode at close range.


This game is extremely fun. I love Rogue Survivor as well, and this game fills part of the post-acocalpytic area that game ignores: Crafting and surviving with your skills. I can't wait till this game is atleast stable enough to hold a saved character.

The most fun you can have with this at the moment is get all of the non-crippling bad traits (Near Sighted, Heavy Sleeper, Insomniac, Lightweight, Trigger Happy, I also pick alot of the other ones if I'm trying to get crazy with it) and just create a super cyborg who can read books in 30 seconds. I got my Jean Claude character to level 10 Melee/Unarmed, but then I went to a lab and it crashed for some silly reason. Ah well.

Oh, and those "Purifier" bottles in the Lab can get rid of bad traits, even the ones you gen with. That's VERY handy, especially if you start with the Robust Genes trait and drink all the

delicious bottles of Mutagen

you can find in the lab! (Or even eat the limbs of those poor clones, but Jean Claude is a vegetarian, not a maniac)

Oh, and I think you may know this already, but when fast traveling you can just teleport into the inside of a lab, not needing the Key or anything. It sure does make the game easier! c:

Yes, I fixed that bug, thank you very much for spotting it.  Thanks also for your effort towards a port--if anyone can confirm that this truly works 100%, please let me know and I will make it "official".

1) Yes, use a crowbar on the door.  Or break in through a window, and open the door from inside.
2) Hunger alerts only appear once you're above meat-sandwich level of hunger.
3) Right now you are limited to 52 items in your inventory (a-zA-Z).  This will change in the future.
4) Boomers have a range of 3 tiles.  Unlike Left 4 Dead (from which I blatantly ripped them off), they do not attract zombies; they only blind you.  If you get a boomer to explode (kill it), it will smash any adjacent terrain (e.g. break windows) and make adjacent zombies stumble a little bit.
5) Because that would be YASD and I try to avoid that
6) 'a' it with a lighter in your inventory

Trade weapons to them, they (hopefully) should wield them.
Forts will be populated with NPCs as soon as NPCs stop crashing the game, drowning you in error messages, killing themselves through massive drug overdose, etc.

Are you playing on Eronarn's server?  It is running a slightly-old version, this issue has been fixed somewhat.

Planned for the near future is the ability to use nearby fire as a "hotplate."  Also, you will be able to use any items within a few tiles as tools or materials for crafting, rather than having to pick them all up.

Enjoy it while you can, Van Damme!  Pretty soon to block min-maxing I will limit each character to 3 good traits and 3 bad traits, forcing you to drop a stat or two if you want more points.
I'll also be taking that "fast travel" out, unless you turn on debug/gametester mode!

It's just luck, one of my earlier games I ran through had like 3 houses which had kitchen stuff EVERYWHERE, hotplates, frying pans, butter knives, cans of soda, etc.

I have some space / bw on my vps.

I had to comment out the timespec/nanosleep() in ranged.cpp but everything else in there seems work.

Quoting this so more people see it and test it, I sure plan to when I can find the time to sit down and start a char.

Can someone explain to me where to find the stuff to craft even something really basic? I actually haven't crafted anything xD

[Infuriated]

I've only made wooden spears myself, but I've stumbled across a lot of crafting material like thread & sowing kits as well as soldering iron. (I assume those are for crafting, anyway)
