An MP3 player seems to be the easiest way to rack up xp.

I just used an MP3 player while reading. Turn player on, read until the music bonus fades, reload batteries, repeat. Gained thousands of xp with just a few loads of batteries while reading the various skill books I picked up in a library.

My char goes everywhere with his mp3 player. Roaming around a science lab, shooting zombies and turrets with a fusion rifle, listening to music and stripping electronics (flashlights, radios) and the various robots and turrets of their batteries to keep it and my flashlight going.

I just imagine him roaming around carefree dancing around as he incinerates everything with the fusion rifle. Everything dies in one shot, and I find enough plutonium cells and superglue to make more ammo as I go. This latest science lab is massive, my char has spent an entire day in there and now hes on his way out to get some sleep. It just keeps going and going and going.

Good lord the Recycling Unit implant is amazing. Day 3 and all I've eaten is an apple and I'm still full.

I'd really like to get another use for XP since i usually get tons of it in 2 or 3 days, is there anything else i can do with them?

There will be. soon Whales is adding a special artifact crafting or special ability thing that costs XP in the thousands range.

I had a random idea for items while I was eating dinner. No idea if it's worth anything..just kinda a bit of realism or variety.

I was thinking that bottles of alcohol, or really any kind of food item could sort of be..randomized. What I mean by that is if you find a house with a bottle of alcohol, instead of it always being full, it could have a random amount of 'charges' left in it. Furthermore, a bottle of milk or orange juice could only be partially full, and only provide a partial bonus that an otherwise full one would give. Shops/stores would, naturally enough, always be stocked with full versions of these products.

Make any sense, or is that too much work? Just a random thought. It might give players more of an incentive to risk looting shops, rather than camping out in homes.

Does storing perishable food stuff (Fruits, vegetable, etc) increase their life? Or is there technically no power in buildings? 

Your buildings are powerless.

Yeah, there is currently no way to store foods so that they don't rot. Although refrigerators/coolers would make a pretty cool addition, and its likely that Whales might already have a way to store food planned.

Err guys, if coolers work there is no electricity so i think we'd require a new item that is a generator or something and connecting it in a house/shop would power the electricity that'd rock..and we'd need fuel or something for the generator

[SirAaronIII]

Actually, that's a good idea, because gasoline is used for only 3 things (as far as I know): Jackhammers, chainsaws, and setting on fire.

And molotovs.
Though that prolly falls under setting on fire.

[Angel Of Death]

And molotovs.

Whisky is so much better for it, though.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

What a whaste of whonderful whiskey!

[Whales]

Gasoline is also useful for fueling the craftable flamethrower, but again, that's "setting things on fire."

Generators are a planned addition, but don't expect them any time soon I guess.

XP is going to be useful for big purchases at some point, and fairly soon it'll undergo a big re-balancing, and will use a new system devised by SSH server admin Eronarn, which will make boosts decline on a half-life model (the scientific concept of half-life, not the video game).

Are there multiple servers of cataclysm? The one listed at the very beginning of this threat is outdated, for example i can't use Shift+D, or it is updated and im posibly missing something? I'm playing on Eronarn server.

Eronarn's a little behind the update curve sometimes.  There aren't any other servers that I know of, but be patient, he'll update sooner or later!

Got a bunch of ant eggs. Anything to do with them besides eat them?

Burn them before they hatch?

Make them into superglue, I think?  Or find a queen ant and make her do tricks with them.
