This game is actually pretty freaking awesome. Ran into a horde of 20 zombies, foolishly tried to gun em all down with a Tec-9, realized there were too many, escaped into a house thinking I was safe only for the Zs to begin breaking down the door, more shooting in the entrance hallway leads to a second hallway which in turn leads to a closet of some sort, I'm beginning to run low on ammo when I have a lucky string of one shot kills. The last zombie I dispatch with a baseball bat after running out of ammo for the gun. All in all, pretty tense.

Thanks for saying so!  That kind of intense action, with combat/retreat/panic/back-up plans, is a big part of what I'm aiming for and what I like about Cataclysm, so it's nice to hear that someone else has had that kind of experience.

There are a few rare non-fungal-enemy ways to contract fungitis.

Labs contain some of them.  Labs are not the best place to set up shop for this reason.

I'm a lucky person.

Also, I think you shouldn't be able to read when in excruciating pain. As noted earlier, growing fungal sprouts from both arms throws you into said state.

Yet, I can read while in pain. Mental imagery = win.

[Whales]

Well, pain decreases your int more than anything else, and a low int is an impediment to reading--your book selection will be lessened and it'll generally take more time.

I recently had this very desperate fetch for resources, i am using vehicle mod, imagine some redneck in his battered fucked up truck crashing through buildings and hammering zombies down in a vain attempt to escape, just to find all 4 wheels ruined, then having a horde of zombies tear open the truck and eat me.

Or recently where i had this awesome biker character that grabbed alot of loot, putted it in a box and hit'd the road.

How often did you find vehicles? so far I've yet to come across one (although reading the other forum I see you can build them too)

[Blaze]

I found a bunch of them in parking lots.

You CAN build them, but finding even the basic parts for them is pretty difficult. You usually have to pull them out of other vehicles. So far the only craftable parts are frames and platings, which require A LOT of "lumps of steel" and all three are VERY heavy.

And before then, you need to find a welder and plenty of batteries to power it.

Guess I'll just keep exploring then and hope to stumble over one
I must admit I am enjoying the game more now I've stopped building any kind of 'home', carrying just what I need and always moving is fun, especially when you try to find somewhere to camp down for the night.

I find them very rarely, parking lots are good places to check, in the next versions there will be roadside wrecks for you to scavenge/fix

I've updated my Myriad Stuff Mod which now includes the vehicles mod.

Cib released a update version of his tilemod.

Quick question from a new player who read a few pages back about basement spawns- was that ever addressed in more recent versions? Only, I had some zombies spawn in my evac site basement. There I was, thinking I was all safe in there...

[Shades]

If you were already being followed they tend to stay following you as you go down to the basement, but other than that you should be okay as far as I know.

I've not checked the code to confirm this though.

[kilakan]

so I've been exoerimenting a bit with mutations,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

and an unusual one to say the least i managed to get was 'bat wings' anyone know if this mutation can be upgraded by a further mutation to allow actual flight?

edit answered my own question, potential spoiler below:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Wing stubs can turn into either bat wings, which screw up your dodging, or insect wings that allow you to run insanely freaking fast

Also if anyone wants me to write up a  minor... guide of sorts on positive mutations I'd be happy to. Got about 20 good ones so far and counting

Hehe, I'm so bad at this game, but it's a lot of fun.

My latest character was running around in the wilderness, collecting food and supplies. She had that trait (I forget its name) that makes animals friendly; so, of course, all the squirrels and rabbits in the neibourhood were bloodthirsty and hostile and would not stop attacking me wherever I went.

So all this commotion inevitably attracted all the zombies in the area, so I ran back to my base and tried to defend the doorway from all these zombies and squirrels. The whole time, I'm swinging wildly and not hitting a thing, and I'm thinking "What the hell, why can't I hit anything?!"

Well I couldn't hold the door for long, and soon I was surrounded. I knew I was about to die. Still miffed at my incredible miss rate, I checked my equipment.

'Weilding: Strawberry'

...God damn it. LOL. I died trying to defend myself with a delicious berry.
