Makeshift crossbows with batteries that fire heated pieces of rebar would be pretty cool.

Yeah, Cataclysm definitely needs to rip off as many games as possible. Good advice!

I would love to see more friendly, ya'know? Maybe a simple friendly mob police (without following you like a blob/dog) with a light handgun, holed out in a police station (won't attack you unless you trigger alarm) would be great, for now... or npcs that automatically seek resources and bring them to a location, using them for traps and defence, as well as surival. Another intresting, if emotional, challange would be to have family members in your starting house, who you can feed/take care off/arm...

I'd like a M72 LAW in a nuclear silo, please!

NPCs are currently being fixed.

I've also wondered for a while about this:

are bar fridges supposed to work for some reason? or is finding unspoilt food in them a bug?

If the former: can we keep stuff from spoiling by stashing it in bars?

Part of me wants to, as an experiment, make a stripped down mod for Cataclysm.  Remove 90% of items, reduce firearms to a pistol, a shotgun, an SMG, and a rifle (maybe an assault rifle too) and one ammo type for each one.  Eliminate most crafting recipes, all drugs except for a single painkiller... yeah...

So you want to make a Left 4 Dead roguelike?

...it started as such, afaik

I'd love functional rope. Tie your dog to you, tie zombies to each other, make oversized tripwires and improv fences, be able to ram sticks/spears/shovels into the ground for support, create "rope pulls out nade pin" traps... the good stuff.


Electronics > make emp nade > all military bunkers are yours

Technically we already have grenade traps (Which use string); but yeah, fully functional items would be awesome.
Hello zombies, meet my friend, the anachronistic smash trap door.

I believe that was the joke.

Tie your dog to you, tie zombies to each other

tie zombies to a sled....

You know, I've always wondered why people in zombie movies don't do this, instead of worrying so much about gas.

Is there anything that can detect you when you're using the cloaking bionic? I managed to get it installed and it lets me walk right past military turrets. I know that giant bees can't detect (or defend from) you when you have the olfactory mask on.

Gas only slims your wallet, not your lifespan.

I had a D&D game where instead of killing the zombies that some asshole necromancer raised we hitched them to plows and sold them to a farmer as beasts of burden who never needed feeding or care.

Knock out their teeth and cut off their arms, zombies are adorable and harmless.

But it already ripped off Half Life 2.

[Greiger]

Well it was amusing pinning combine soldiers to walls with what basically amounted to a really fast moving blunt object.  Really I don't think the bar of rebar being so hot as to be red added much to the actual damage output besides awesome factor.


Anywho, slightly off topic I remember pressing a button a few versions ago that showed me my addiction levels?  Does that still exist?  Dosn't seem to be in the list of buttons.
