I'll remember that for the next character. Those rotten kids smashed up my beautiful store. I managed to kill quite a few of them with my sledgehammer but there was a shrieker zombie and it managed to attract a shocker zombie. Pity. There were some dead guys with ID cards and bottles of mutagen and stuff in the road just south of my poorly-defended store too.

The map generates MORE when I leave a zone?  That makes this even better!  I too was worried about making a new character in an already heavily used map but now that I know there's a purpose to going into one of the unexplored zones (I hit 'z' so often by accident when I mean to hit 'x' that I don't really consider a revealed map a cheat anymore)

As a bonus, Hank, my longest lasting character to date, had a big well stocked safehouse near one of those borders.  I might just use that as a jumping off point into the great unknown.

So I gather that consuming cleanser gives a permanent stat boost?

Also, to Urist: Groceries, along with all other city/town buildings are at best temporary shelters, as there are usually already nearby zombies, which are then attracted by the noise you make and your smell. In addition, roads prevent you from digging ditches as static defenses, and there are as of yet no ways to make unbreakable barricades, so you will always eventually lose windows and doors, even if you boarded them up. Some of the better options for permanent hideouts are rural houses (cabins in the fields and woods), missile silos, the first floors of labs away from people,  and human settlements (buildings marked with *, walls with x). The last could be considered cheesy, as there are never any spawns inside of them, and there are currently no actual human NPCs, meaning that the large amounts of "owned" loot are free for the taking.

On that same note, if you assemble sufficient traps, you can probably fortify one of the ideal types of non-cheesy safehouse well enough that they are for all intents and purposes nigh-unreachable for zombies, especially if you (ab)use the fasttravel system (which allows you to instantly move from one map square to any other without time passing, often placing you inside buildings, walls, shelves, etc. It is not uncommon to be ported inside bank vaults like this. You can also use it as an unbeatable escape card against all aboveground enemies. In fact, the only real downside is that you tend to find fewer clusters of scientist bodies and trap circles.

Did headswe give up on windows version?

Yes, purifiers give +1 stat when not erasing a bad mutation. Makes the game super easy when you get stats up though, with 20+ strength you can beat zombies to death with your bare hands. High dex and perception makes your guns always score headshots. I had one char so overpowered from using purifiers and mutagens to get high stats and good mutations that he could run around during acid rain naked punching zombie hulks to death with his bare hands.

Oh, and the "fast travel system" you're talking about is a debug teleport, not intended as a core game feature.

Whales' latest commit changed all the debug commands, including the map teleport, to only be accessible from a menu using the Z key. That way it's harder to accidentally hit them, and it's more obvious that they are debug/cheat commands. Headswe just didn't include the latest code in his 1.9.5 update for some reason.

Did headswe give up on windows version?

Dunno, i'm guessing he's probably just busy with other things and quickly did a release when he saw new changes, but didn't take time to realize he didn't get them all and forgot to change the window from Console to GUI (which makes the extra window when playing).

I'd like to note that you can one shot zombies with your bare hands at 13 str. It's not terribly difficult.

It really heavily depends on your melee and H:H combat skill.

Yes, it needs to be around five each for it to start happening. At around 8 each it becomes every second or 3rd zombie.

[gimlet]

And even if you don't one-shot them, you start to get stun type results - I had chars that slapped even hulks and brutes to death with 4-6 strikes without even having to dodge a return blow...

What do people think of adding brass knuckles as a weapon? They would use unarmed fighting skill and bashing skill, and do lot's of blunt damage.

Ooh, and trench spikes which could use the same skills, but do cutting/piercing damage as well as some blunt damage.

Anyone mind posting the latest update? I haven't checked this for a week, and don't feel like going through 150 pages.

[Whales]

I track updates in this thread.  There hasn't been one for ten days now, but the big one is just around the corner!  I hope!
