Them too, but they can be obtained fresh easily anyway, so I didn't think they needed mentioning.

Could I butcher my previous character and eat him?

[Blackray Jack]

You can't cook meat sammiches, but frozen dinners, pizzas and fruit pies can all be cooked to magically make them fresh again.

And the world is persistent, until you delete the save folder, it's the same world no matter how many games you play.

Save folder? I play on the putty client; where on earth would the save folder be located then?

Yeah, you probably could.

Small suggestion: Being able to cook meat (and other simple things) without having to use a pot or pan. In real life, you can totally cook meat over a fire on, say, a spit. Making a construction or simple crafting recipe would work here, but it would be nice (and realistic, and in-character) to be able to at least cook "veggy", meat, and some other very simple things without having to carry around a pot, using, say, heavy sticks or a wooden spear or the like.

Of course, until cooking outdoors gets less bothersome/interruptible/lung-wrenching, it's less important. Of course, for all I know, that's already happened or planned.

Yep.

It's already happened.  It's quite easy to make a long-lasting fire that doesn't produce any smoke (aside from an occasional small puff, which is harmless).  It is still rather interruptable, I suppose, but that's unlikely to change.

Anyway, replacing the meat/veggy cooking to allow you to use a stick or spear makes sense.

It's located on the server you play on.  So, yeah, you can't delete it.

Yep.

Indeed. Nothing is more fun than stashing your old character's corpse and using it as a faucet.

Can we get marshmallows while you're at it? They seem appropriately 1950s kitschy to make for good apocalypse fodder.

And Smores.

Oh man, Smores and zombies.

[Girlinhat]

Smores roasted over a zombie?

[Girlinhat]

Ok I'm looking to play the game but... installation seems a bit more than involved.  I have to instal five other programs and meddle with the source code to start?  That's rather... disheartening.

[Duelmaster409]

Really? I just downloaded one package and started playing immediately.

[Girlinhat]

The OP of this thread and the official forums both refer to compiling options, I can't see anywhere that you can just download a .exe or anything...
