Shit I was doing good with lots of weapons,ammo,food and drinks I put in the first level of the lab and I went upstairs and robots and zombies killed me, haha.

If I'm hiding out in a lab/bunker it's always top floor, behind the metal doors, so that I can utilize daylight and ease of movement.  Also rather easy to lay traps.

[JamesCorella]

How do you lay traps?

[Girlinhat]

You craft them first using the & interface (overcome your Dwarven instincts, & is your friend, as unlikely as it seems!).  Some simple traps are shotgun + string or nail boards, but there's also bear traps and grenade wires and all sorts of fun stuff!  You'll need to learn trapping, which can be found in libraries and sports stores, or (I think) you can make nail boards for trapping exp.

You can also dig a pit with a shovel, and fill it with wooden spears (2x4 and sharp edge) to make a permanent, very effective trap that really requires no skill.  For what they do they're almost OP, but they're immobile and easily work against you as well, and to be effective you need quite a few.

That was helpful thanks man ima go try dis out.

I should be taking notes here.  Everything asked here should be described in the wiki.

Also,
...what is this pink@? It didn't take long for me to get into a mess of trouble after stepping into one...

Are spawns doubled? I can't seem to get no peace! Wish I had a fire extinguisher.....

[Flying Dice]

I dunno if things changed, but last version I used fire extinguishers were useless for any sort of substantial fire.

[TerryDactyl]

It has changed.

How do you lay traps?

Soft music and scented candles.
Some caution is neccessary to avoid injuring yourself.


Also, if you need some good trap materials, in some spots you'll find a heavily trapped area that you might be able to dismantle. I've always liked landmines. Just not stepping on them.

Spoiler: Megastores are amazing. (click to show/hide)

[Girlinhat]

Are you running windows?  If so, where did you get a working current version?

[trees]

I'm using PuTTY.

[TerryDactyl]

Megastores are amazing.

My starting character, unskilled but well-armed with a revolver, 9mm smg and rifle, had no problems clearing a 9-tile metastore on the first day. I was less than impressed. [sorry whales - you might want to tweak this]

[Girlinhat]

Are you certain that you can "clear" them?  They don't respawn monsters?  Also that's rather well-armed for clearing an area.  I could probably do it with a Mosquito and .22 CB and clear out impressively sized hordes, or a nailgun.  Greens on their own aren't very dangerous, don't get too full of yourself.
