Hey Whales can you tell me all about how development is going?

Hey Whales can you tell me all about how development is going?

It's going good, man.  It's going good.

How do I know if I see a monster, off the map,  are 'aware of my presence?

[ChairmanPoo]

If you see them, they are aware of your presence, if they can see (aka: zombies, nonmutant animals, some mutant ones)

So, haven't played for a while. Is there any place where I can get the latest windows binaries? Thanks!

I just set up a virtual box for playing this (following instructions from this thread), and it was actually really easy. No crashes or weird bugs or anything, it's very stable.

I've been enjoying the new content, too - very excited to see progress on NPCs. One small typo report: when getting a mission to analyze zombie blood, the quest-giver tells you to "extrace" the blood from a corpse, rather than "extract."

Uh-oh, actually, two more bad things have become apparent: I didn't seem to receive anything to extract the blood with, despite the NPC implying otherwise (not sure if this is just unfinished content or a bug), and when I accidentally lured some zombies in to the evac shelter and they started fighting the NPC, I got the debug message "Bumped into a monster, 15, a zombie" whenever they were adjacent. I do like how he yelled "Move your goddamn ass, fuckward!" when I got in the way, though.

It would be nice to be able to tell the NPC to follow you in situations like this, by the way: he just kind of shuffled around as we ran away and he didn't try to grab any weapons or anything.

Anyone else notice megastores completely stopped spawning, and hospitals are super rare in most worlds?  Weird, given whales said they should for sure spawn in each location...

[Whales]

Hospitals are rare, but there's guaranteed to be at least one in the 180x180 starting area.

[Angle]

I can confirm that megastores are absent, and hospitals are super-rare. I just saw two hospitals in three overmaps. They were, of course, within seven tiles of each other, but still.

[Whales]

Did you confirm this via cheating, i.e., Z4 to reveal the map, and then searching it for megastore / hospital?

[Gotthard]

I always reveal the entire map, and I'm not sure I've seen a hospital on most maps.  In 100 maps, not seen a single megastore.

I did confirm this by cheating.

[Angle]

yup, I revealed three maps, only one had hospitals.

[Gotthard]

Also as a warning, trying to fill an activated chainsaw results in a segfault.  I mean, it's a terrible idea to do anyway, but... at least kill me instead of segfaulting me

I just noticed that it is possible, although pretty rare, for your starting NPC to give you 2 quests. I just had my startig NPC give me the USB quest, and when I returned succesful, he also offered the blood sample quest. Said NPC is also a mean shot with his Redhawk. I like him, even though he called me fuck.
