all right thanks for that. What are the factors that decide where you spawn during world creation. Like in a city, town, things like that.

[Aklyon]

You always spawn in a house that has a basement.

[SomeStupidGuy]

Okay, so I was walking down the road that leads out of the town I started in, when I was suddenly

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

brutally murdered by something with Horror in it's name, a Mi-Go, & a blob.

Probably should have had run mode on...
I still probably would've died but at least that way I'd have known what happened.

I lost a char to a random mob like that one time. I forget the exact names, but there were 3-4 of them and they just randomly spawned inside the store I was looting (iirc it was a hardware store)...

EDIT:

You always spawn in a house that has a basement.

Hmm... Not always apparently: I just spawned in the front yard of a locked house... Just sayin', it's not quite a sure thing

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Had you been teleporting a lot beforehand?

A more accurate phrase is "you always start at a house with a basement" I suppose.  Usually inside it, sometimes outside.

That's the only way starting location is selected.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

And sometimes literally inside it.
Being embedded in walls on startup isn't all that uncommon

[SomeStupidGuy]

Had you been teleporting a lot beforehand?

No, I was playing normally.
But I was using Paul's mod but it doesn't edit any enemies as far as I know. Oh well, doesn't matter too much, It's just weird to get killed by enemies like that outside of a lab.
Something I noticed just now is the Mi-go somehow ended up getting killed in the crossfire.

As for the whole abandoned cars things, maybe they could be made to have a chance to be on any road tile, and highways and bridges could have larger amounts, essentially making them deathtraps to the uncautious. They could have some okay loot too.

[SolarShado]

just got killed by a pack of ~5 wolves... in town, and not the outskirts either as far as i can tell

[jocan2003]

i want npc

[SirAaronIII]

"Hold on, I want to pick up that active grenade..."

[Trapezohedron]

Tried the game, it's great. One of my best failures would be spawning a companion, whose head immediately burst into fine red mist, and leaving behind an active mininuke.

Since I'm a fool, I took it and 'a'pplied it.

No points for guessing what happened afterwards.

[Deon]

You didn't throw it, right?

I already wanted to mod in at least abandoned bus locations, and possibly trailer parks too. Too bad I was torn between the tileset version which is not updated yet and the recent Cataclysm version, and now we all wait for that construction update .

[Trapezohedron]

Still learning the curves, and abusing the Shift-Z wishing console. Found a room in a science lab containing a computer and four radio towers.

The computer was different from the others, as it had a 'Terminate Specimen' command, as well as a summon specimen command, a 'Toggle Teleporter' command and a 'Resonance Cascade' command.

Selecting the fourth (Resonance Cascade) option was a very bad idea, as it seemed to summon a bunch of security bots, which raped me as soon as I took a step. It was a very fun experience.

Also, are those fortifications outside of town populated? A few games ago, there was absolutely no one there, despite the various objects being owned. And do those teleporters work? I've stepped on it and didn't warp or anything, even after waiting a few turns.
