kiting is really a requirement for fighting zombies, and if you aren't kiting you are being chewed on/beaten violently.

Or standing behind a window/pit and laughing your ass off.

How does scent work exactly?

[BurnedToast]

The liqueur store store I was using as a hideout got struck by lighting and lit on fire 

I didn't realize it at first, thankfully the smoke woke me up... I had to run out in the middle of the night in a thunderstorm carrying as much of my loot as I could.

I wonder if the whole building will burn down or just the part that got hit.... I also wonder if all that precious booze on the shelves is doomed.......

[Greiger]

My money is on the place going up like a gas station.

Whales described it as being like the tail of a comet, I believe. You constantly emit scent in a small circle and as you move you leave a degrading trail.

[LuckyNinja]

Okay, the game save started working again, so yay?


Anyway, I've managed to get my dodge skill up to 46, so I am now nigh-unhittable. There is a delirious pleasure in successfully fighting 6 zombies simultaneously with a hammer

[Deon]

Wow... 46?.. I've never raised it over 4 because you have to be attacked for it to rise .

Zombie necromancers stop hitting you after about lv 5. I've been doing them in bursts of 10 or so, whenever I can lure one away.


Anyways, been playing about with the SAV files, currently figured out attributes and XP pool, should be interesting to have a play around with.


Edit: Also, is it normal for your safehouse walls to turn into trees and underbrush?

Do walls block scent? Do boarded up windows?

if I recall correctly scent passes through anything smashable, so walls do, boarded up windows don't.

[hemmingjay]

so if you stay far enough from windows you reduce your chances of being found.

For a while. Spending the day reading in the center of the house will still bring the zed.

[TerryDactyl]

Two replies:

I have noticed that Queen Triffids spawn dirt & trees; Your safehouse isn't safe.

and,

I read somewhere that scent travels 8 tiles. Standing in the middle of a boarded up hardware store, with traps out the back should be relatively safe... extenuating circumstances aside.

[Sergius]

Well, yeah, safehouses aren't safer from queen triffids anymore than they are from random lightning.
