My first time playing this game, I rolled up a brute-type insomniac melee character with poor vision. Ran around looking for a backpack, found a gas station, saw a zombie, lit a tiny pool of gasoline on fire to try and draw him through it and WTFBOOOOOOOOOM

Second time playing the game, I hit "random" and got a savant schizophrenic who lived down the street from a gun store. Lucky! On my way back from raiding the place, I was /swarmed/ by fungaloids. I'm quite certain at least one of them wasn't real.

I love this game.

A generator could be in basement, making a very little or no noise outside.

A good suggestion.

[GlyphGryph]

Yeah... multiple item encumbrance is supposed to be for each item BEYOND 2, right? Because a bootstrap+pants = instant 2 encumbrance. That don't seem right at all.

One quick question: What determines the population density of monsters?

[Gunner-Chan]

Spoiler: Me and Cag had a little talk about shotguns (click to show/hide)

Rozy~♥: I think the rifled barrel upgrade needs looking at
Cag: Ah?
Rozy~♥: It seems pointless
Rozy~♥: Since it will lower the extra slug damage for a bit of accuracy
Cag: Derp
Cag: Prolly then
Cag: That doesn't seem to make any sesne
Cag: The bullet velocity is the same, isn't it?
Rozy~♥: It should probally work as a conversion and prevent it from ever shooting shot again
Rozy~♥: And increase accuracy a LOT
Cag: Yeah.
Rozy~♥: And to help with that. Slugs should be innacurate normally
Rozy~♥: So to use them effectively you need a rifled upgrade
Cag: Damnit, now I wanna know if they managed to suppress that shotgun on that TV show ><
Cag: They were aiming to get a shotgun to sound at 150 decibels
Rozy~♥: You actually can supress shotguns
Cag: Still loud, but yeah
Rozy~♥: Whales might wanna look into that
Cag: True
Rozy~♥: Since you can't find one, since they haven't been around since the vietnam days.
Rozy~♥: But making one shouldn't be out of the question
Cag: apparently, no country for old men had one
Rozy~♥: Yup.
Rozy~♥: Loved that movie by the way
Cag: Never watched that movie.
Cag:
Cag: I guess that's a reccomendation then
Rozy~♥: Hehe

...I just found a mininuke and a whole bunch of CBMs. Now I really need to find a freaking library for skill books.

[FunctionZero]

Just got the CBM: Utility implant and I'd really encourage everyone to go for the Integrated Toolset if they don't have already.
Best fucking implant ever. Probably even overpowered comparing to all the other implants.

Basically you don't need anything on the tool list ever.
But the real OP thing is that you get for free even the limited-use stuff like hotplate and sewing kit charges.

Maybe such things should draw some internal power instead?

[GlyphGryph]

I don't understand why I'm not getting any skill - I've been fighting with spears for quite a while now, I've got 20 intelligence and good dex, I've got a kill list of upwards of 50 enemies, and I've gotten a single point of melee... and I think that was from using the crowbar!

What the hell?

[Mono124]

Are you keeping your moral up so your XP pool increases?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I think spears may only count as a throwing weapon.

[Gunner-Chan]

I can say without any doubt that blunt melee is the way to go. Doesn't get stuck, doubles as a gun with shotguns and rifles, and works on skeletons.

[GlyphGryph]

But it does so much less damage! By level 5 slashing, you can easily do over a hundred damage a hit with a machete or hand axe, and even with a combat knife it isn't uncommon!

And hmm... it might be the morale experience thing, I didn't even realize that was how it worked, I'm so used to getting skills from books...

[Gunner-Chan]

But it does so much less damage! By level 5 slashing, you can easily do over a hundred damage a hit with a machete or hand axe, and even with a combat knife it isn't uncommon!

But tell me an enemy that 70+ damage doesn't already kill. Anything that DOESN'T die get's stunned and dies a little later. And if you're talking about meleeing hulks well then I guess that's diffrent, but I really don't think you should be closing to melee distance with a hulk under any circumstances.

Bug report, I guess.

While the giant ant corpses give out regular "chunk of meat", for some reason, ant larvae give "tainted meat".

[GlyphGryph]

Major bug report -
While unloading a 2-way radio with 500 battery, instead of getting 500 battery, I got 100 battery and 400 .45ACP.

Not complaining, since thats the ammo my gun of choice uses, but I didn't expect it to be powering a radio. ^_^
