Wow, this makes me happy. Answers a lot of the counter arguments to a wide-scale zombification on death Apocalypse.

Anyone know a simple solution to removing floors? I have to build a wall or some such construction on the tile, then jack hammer it into rubble, then dig a pit in it.
A bit of a pain, to be sure.

Use a hoe. Currently, turns pavement into instant soil. Who knew it was that powerful?  :P

Thanks for the heads up Darkling Wolf!

Ah good old safehouse organization...  Put all your ammo in one place, all your food in another place, all your meds in another place, all your tools....

Makes it far more interesting when lightning strikes the building and you can say.  "Well there went all the food and water in 30 miles and it looks like all the medicine and ammunition for 30 miles is about to go up next turn but I might be able to save the batteries and porn."

Am I the only person that uses labs as safehouses? :o

Thanks for the tip on the Hoe, That tool is massively useful.
I prefer to use the pickaxe on Roads though, You get lots of stone that way.

Labs make great bases if you happen to find a good layout.
I loved having a dissector room, I'd lure a couple wolves after me into the room, and have them processed and ready for cooking.

Hoes don't work this way in the normal game.  This is a bug (feature?) introduced by some mod.

I'll make jackhammers work on floor in the future, though!

If you're using DWMM, then it's probably a bug from when he was messing with a farming system.

Definitely a bug, You can turn just about any tile you can stand on into dirt with it. I've gotten alot of use out of it with the window frames hehe.

Just now entering winter for the first time, Glad I've stocked up on food and skill materials for the very short days.

So, checking up on this game again. Are the zombies spawning less randomly now? No more zombies in boarded up houses or their basements? Maybe a much larger spawn distance limit?

It's less common to happen now, but I do notice it every once in awhile. They spawn much further from the player now.
Although you'll still get those massive hordes outside if you camp in one place for more than a day or two, But a few decent traps will prevent them from being a problem.

Week two of winter, Dropping chunks of steel found from local meteors, Doing compulsive save, Attempts to load.

Crashes.
Restarts game, Attempts to load.

Crashes.

Sorry guys, the Hoe bug is something I unintentionally made...
Well, It's not important, and easily fixable I imagine.

I like the way you say "they" as if it's truly plural.
