What's the best weapon you can find in the starting house? Most of the time, I end up using a crappy knife or 2x4.

I sometimes find a large cache of ammo in the basement, but never any guns.

I've found guns. They're in the very back row of containers.

I never really get a weapon starting out. I run two the nearest store and get one.

I've started with a machete, I think?

Also some very nice rifles that I left there because that is not a great starting weapon, and it took 3 days in game before I found a backpack. Weird freaking round, that one. Tons of awesome stuff (only jackhammer I ever found!) in a game that made it impossible to carry any of it. :P

Heh, this game is pretty fun. I love a good zombie game.

Hey, has anyone else set a house on fire, and then a few characters later, gen a character that starts in the house you set on fire before? Happened to me, and was pretty unexpected (Oh, and for anyone who cares, he lived. I got him out of the fire, but the volume he could store was zero, as his pants burned off. He was later killed by a swarm of zombies.).

What's the best weapon you can find in the starting house? Most of the time, I end up using a crappy knife or 2x4.

Once a found a shotgun in the basement, but most of the time I wind up with a steak knife. I usually just find ammo and food in the basement.

Grab a knife + 2x4 and make a spear. Spears are good.

Another noob question: How do you activate the Internal Furnace power source? I have all these delicious corpses lying around and I don't want to leave them to waste.

You have to pick up the corpses then use E to burn them.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

Oh, thanks. And here I was thinking I was supposed to eat them whole or something. :-\

The controls are the same as eating them. Though I'd like if it let you 'E'at them from the ground like Nethack or ADOM do.

Yeah, taking the many turns it does to pick up a corpse can make the difference between having no zombie in sight and being dead before you even know it. Especially if your speed is low because of pain/injuries.

Free-to-play games are like the fountains in NetHack. At first, they look refreshing, but when you approach snakes pour out and eat you.
