So just do the same for the rescue missions - assume the dog is somewhere better off, and its better off now being "rescued" and hanging around folks/zombie chow. Which is probably true!

Yeah, that sounds like the best idea. 

Was the zombie spawn rate in towns increased?  I remember when I first played you could go a few game-hours without seeing any zombies.  Now entering a town feels like suicide.

Ugh, why?  Why is there a mission to get someone's dog?  Dogs are my soft spot, if someone asks me to rescue their dog I can't refuse and if it dies I'll be depressed for hours.  I wish there was an option to remove dog missions, or dogs entirely.

Because games aren't designed to cater to your every emotional quirk. Different people have different soft spots for different reasons, and sometimes no reason at all. You can't reasonably expect every little thing to accommodate your own.

Yes, if I worried about offending people's sensibilities there wouldn't be edible fetuses.

So you mean we do have edible fetuses in game?
Awesome.

I remember someone posting about how they threw a fetus so hard it went through a hulks skull. Generally not great weapons, but throwing was still by far the most powerful skill in the game back then (and I was the first one to realize it, ha!)

What's the best rifle to go for in terms of noise and firepower balance (assuming I'm going to silence it)?

Id say an assault riffle with the new mecanic of burst sound like a good plan to me. If a shot kill one and still have burst remaining you jump n the next zombie right away

Quote
Burst-firing is much more attractive.
The recoil penalty for shots beyond the first is reduced.
If, after your first shot, there is no longer a monster on the tile you are targeting, you will attempt to re-aim at the nearest monster.  The most common reason this happens is if your burst killed the first monster you aimed at.  This means that you can fire a burst and re-target mid-stream at a new monster, potentially killing many at once (this makes the M249 much more attractive).
Your ability to re-target is limited by your Guns skill.

that was a luky dwarf. I had one dabbling surgeon fail so spectacularly that the patient skull flew a tile away from the table.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Hmm, could we ever get something like a quantum storage device? A thing found at lab, any thing could be stored in it, be it a zombie, a dog or even your favorite brand of toasters!
Would be very useful for people who dont like escorting npc's/likes to store shit in a smart way. You would need to be very carful, if you drop or throw it you will either a) Cause a nuclear explosion b) Create a singularity or c) Summon an eldritch abomination/lovecraftian horror

Composed of all the garbage, tools, weapons, and corpses you had in the quantum space right?

Say is anyone playing the Vehicle Mod? I've got 4X2 frame set up, but I can't figure out how to stick stuff on it.
