A bug I've come across using the Windows version. I used batteries to make a power converter (8 full batteries altogether). The batteries don't disappear from my inventory, they just stay there, but with zero charges. I can drop them to the ground, but if I try to pick them up again, they don't go into my inventory and they are no longer on the ground. The dead batteries just vanish.

Fixed.

Skeletons, fast zombies, shocker zombies and spitter zombies were all added with the intent of forcing the player to change their technique.  Players who flee zombies will find this tactic failing against fast zombies (and brutes and hulks, but they're just there to be extra-tough).  Players who shoot everything will have to switch to melee against skeletons.  Shocker and spitter zombies might make melee characters wish they had an emergency handgun.  This way, no single technique can take care of all enemies.

I actually have a hard time running from spitters and shockers, even with 110 speed. They are usually fast enough to keep up with me for a long time, and they can shoot me with their acid and electricity at extreme distances.

Whales, are you planning on ever adding full-scale construction? Digging underground, building forts, chopping down forests, connecting all the houses with tunnels ...
Unless you ARE planning and you already told us so, in that case, disregard me.

Agreed. Their ranges seem to be a bit too long, especially the spitter zombies, since if they spit at you, your forced to either run full tilt through acid, which slows you down and hurts you, or pick your way through, which also slows  you down and might force you to get closer. Then, by the time your out of the acid puddle, they'll likely have spit at you again at closer range, making you pick your way through again.

I don't like that they can spit at you from outside your view range. If they can hit me with spit, I should be able to hit them with firearms. You can't tell me they can spit further than my gun can launch a bullet.

You can shoot monsters that are off-screen.

Your clearance level is not high enough for information relating to that.

[Vorbicon]

Well, I'll be damned. That's a useful piece of information I wish I'd had a lot earlier.

[justinlee999]

Say, is the Windows SDL version updated to the latest?

Your clearance level is not high enough for tha- *checks clearance level* oh looks like thats available to everyone. The answer is yes.

[justinlee999]

So it auto updates?

Bug report, I guess.

On the 1.3.3 - Windows
I now get the DEBUG MESSAGE - Press Spacebar after just about every action.
Drink a bottle of milk? Debug. Create a fire with the lighter? Debug.

Answer to every zombie.

Get crossbow, bear trap, find area that features single entryway that is near the end of the long side of the room.

Plant bear trap, hunker down while reading/crafting. If trap trips, walk up next to zombie, bash/shoot it to death, grab trap with e, rearm trap and kill any other zombies that walk into it. When done reading or camping, head to next supply area. Ideally, you'd want 2-3 beartraps on you at all times, so you don't have to worry about losing one. Molotovs are great for running, and the crossbow is excellent for single zombies.
