What I want to see is some weapon mod (item) that has effect on the crossbow.

Must be something with the tileset version then it keeps telling me "there's nothing to pry there" when I try using it on the doors to the bank.
The vault doors or the front doors?
Front doors actually. My current character has found all of the computer skill books with the help of dead scientists and I figured some hacking would be nice.
I've found that alarmed doors cannot be  pried open despite of being wooden. It must be an oversight.

Derp.  Yes, that was an oversight--fixed now, thank you.

Just posting to follow this thread, and to say what an awesome game this is. I have only played the tutorial though, and am currently reading the manual before plunging into it  :D Wish me luck!

So after countless bloody deaths I've finally lived long enough to find both hammer and nails. I've boarded up a house on the outskirts of town and wanted to know what kind of protection boarded up windows provide. How much longer does it take a zombie to breach a boarded up window compared to regular windows and if zombies have no line of sight to me through the windows can they still detect me?

Interestingly, Armok's name actually originates from arm_ok, a variable in one of Toady's earlier games that kept track of how many of your arms weren't missing.

You'll leave a scent trail, so the best way to be safe of zombies is to set a bunch of tainted meat (from butchering) out a good deal of spaces from your house (3 works) and light it on fire.
It'll generate smoke which erases your scent where it is, and make it harder for zombies to detect you. Don't worry to much about smoke, so long as you're stepping in the light smoke only, and even so it takes medium smoke a few turns of inhaling to incur the smoke penalty. Heavy smoke will incur it much faster though, but it only really ever appears right next to the fire.
Also, try not to set your house on fire.

It takes zombies ages to get through boarded-up windows.  Scent will not permeate them, either.

Does scent permeate regular walls or doors?

Derail, yes, but...

MoM, your avatar was bothering me. And the thing that was bothering me was that it wasn't animated. So I fixed it, heh.

I enter a lab with my uh person first time in one. I go downstairs and I'm In ant tunnels.3 scientists zombie things attack me they drop acid? But died easily ok I thought but then 2 more came and unleashed manhacks I killed them with the wood axe. I traveled the tunnels for 2 days looking for a way out surviving on random ant loot. After one shoting ants I came to the subway and got killed by a soldier ant (sad face).

On another visit to another lab with another guy I went down the stairs and It looked like a lab this time . I explored the rooms and dodged multiple turrets. Then in a lone room somewhere I found a mininuke I was like " huh a mininuke 'a'pply 'tick tick' OH SHIT 't'hrow , run , explosion , and dead" ..  I was injured beforehand and it was like 3 ticks per 'turn'. Yay for phone posting.
I wish I had a screenshot ::)

So according to PlumpHelmetPunk, who did a let's play deal on this back on the 10th of July, NPCs were temporarily removed.

As it appears this is still the case, is there any reason to be wary of owned items?
