Blood filtration does negate all drugs, but it is an active system. You activate it, and it cleans out every drug in you. So you get smashed, do all your opiates, then activate the filter and your clean and sober instantly.
Oh, I thought it was permanently on. Thanks, makes it a ton better!

Electronics crafting isn't too major, though you can probably spam it after a certain point by using your empty plastic and glass bottles to make and break flashlights. Onlyimportant part of electronics right now is hacking and bionic implants.

Oh, I didn't clarify enough. My apologies but that was aimed at Whales.

It works, though.

The teleportation is a debug feature, and using it is cheating.  But a great way to test some rarer areas for me!  In the future, this will probably be changed into some kind of "fast travel" tool, with the passage of time and the possibility of encountering monsters a threat.

Make this work when you have a car (or other vehicle) only, then if you have NPCs you have to wait for them to get in the car too,
though zombies can still attack until you leave the site, so it's possible to have to leave your friend behind to get eaten like in the movies.
And each trip would use a little gasoline.

Also, I'd like to be able to colorize notes I've placed on the map, so I can see quickly when type of note they are without moving the cursor.

By the looks of it, it seems like a normal basement.

I got lost in a Lab and then got swarmed by zombie scientists. I'm lucky I ran in the direction I did otherwise I would've probably died to the turrets in the other direction. I'm loving this game. :D

The sewer lines go under your basement.  I guess.  Really, they just kind of stop there.
Anyway you're welcome duuuuuuuude.

That is why you always carry a jackhammer to smash your way through the walls.

Anyway, the game is amazing so far.

Hey, Whales, will spawning ever be nerfed? I mean, at night, no matter how defended I am (Pits four-deep in front of a storefront, everything barricaded to maximum, blah blah blah) I always get stormed and killed by three and four zombies. It's even worse because if you're sleeping, creatures avoid traps and barricades anyway. I know it's to prevent you camping out in one spot, but how is that a bad thing? I originally planned on doing a Let's Play, but it's not too fun if you're swarmed to death in less than a full video.

Concept that occurred to me when my coat was destroyed - as is, if you lose the storage space from clothing being destroyed, you're immediately wildly overburdened.  Items are just kinda glued to you.  It'd be great if, when clothing is destroyed and you're suddenly overburdened, random items drop out of your inventory to bring you back down to level.  It's still dangerous, since now you've lost a bunch of your stuff in the middle of a fight.

Army Helmets having a couple points of Space would be nice, in the manner of strapping clips around the band.

Damn, really?  I rarely have much of a problem with it, myself.  A few traps at chokepoints, a saferoom that's far from any doors or windows, board stuff up if you have the resources, and I'm good.  If no good safe place presents itself, a well-fed firepit works well.

This problem has been discussed, and I'm still unsure of how to deal with it.  Random items feels kind of unfair, and choosing items seems tedious.  And I don't want to force the player to micro-manage which items are in which article of clothing beforehand.

Sounds good on the army helmets.  2 seems reasonable, but I'm not quite sure--1 unit of volume is supposed to be about the size of an orange.

And yet 3 units of volume is an M4 clip.  I don't have a problem with it being arbitrary.  2 still sounds likely enough though.
