Oh i didn't noticed the debug cheat menu, great way to unstuck myself from the situation.
I hope there will be sometime in the future a possibility to move "through" the follower(s) to avoid this problem.

Lesson of the day.
1 Giant Ant Queen + 12 Giant Ants  vs Player TEC-9 + NPC Sledgehammer  -> Player TEC-9 wins
1 Giant Ant vs out of ammo Player TEC-9 and wounded NPC Sledgehammer -> Giant Ant wins

I didn't want to be that guy, but this is page 666 by default settings. [Insert generic joke here]

Anyhow, just to briefly sum up the next update, which should in theory be soon:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

NPCs that save
Wandering NPCs
Combat styles and martial arts
Vehicles
The Tileset mod (Deon's tileset, I imagine)
Less beehives and something to replace them in forests
Bugfixes
Misc balancing

Got a very nice run, in term of zombie killing.

Moving around a town, got a nailgun and lots and lots of nails to use with it.
And i found an area in the middle of the road that had a lot of bear traps, lot of shotgun traps and other kinds.

While the nailgun deals very few damage, helped by the numerous traps, it's 38 zombies that were killed there, all regular zombies (only 1 irregular zombie, a boomer).

Was killed by a duo of giant dragonfly , as the nailgun really is not enough (and i didn't found any kind of other guns during that run) when i decided to go explore far around the starting map (and noticed the save folder exploded at more than 20.000 files !) .

Well, due to the way Cataclysm saves tiles, it seems to save a chunk of the map (one square on your minimap; a 12 by 12 area, I believe) in its own separate file, designated by the coordinates (and Z level) as a file name. I'd love to see it in some form of database, like SQL lite, but that's a long time in the future, and would likely have to involve some workarounds running as far as making it cross platform with less pain involved. Or at least something like DF's level of compression, because thousands of 1kb or less files can end up taking a bit more disk space than it initially seems.

You're overstating it a bit.  The tileset isn't ready to be merged yet, and I'm not sure that the beehive thing will make it into this one.

However, there's also a new setting for NPCs to lead the player, the option to be trained by an NPC in skills or martial arts, some new missions, interruptable actions (pick up crafting where you left off, before that zombie interrupted you), and overhauled melee.

I've been playing a survivalist with a bow, found a decent house in the woods and now I'm slowly gathering the materials to build a car of some sort.

I've noticed that there's a number in parentheses on the bow that steadily increments up as I use it.  It's at 11 now.  Does anyone know what that is?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

If you aim at something, then cancel, the arrow remains "loaded" into the bow, if you (U)nload it you'll get the arrows back, they'll prevent you from using any other type of arrow with the bow whilst loaded.

Stop checking your watch.
