Then I was just out walking and discovered a rather fatal flaw in the NPC AI. I walked around a corner, the NPC right behind me, and walked right into a standard zombie with the NPC moving right behind me. It wasn't a threat, so I proceeded to whack it with my broadsword. Then the NPC decided it was a good idea to unload a ten round burst from his rifle at the zombie's direction with me standing in between him and the zombie. Ten rounds of 7.62x51mm right in my back, I did not survive.

Totally a Fallout reference.

I just started and got my first kill.
A bear. With a heavy stick. No cheating this time.

Wolves have all my hatred. I can take out hordes of zombies, but one wolf tears me to shreds.

also, COOL! goo canisters drop friendly blobs :D

Wait, WHAT?!

I've been seeing these annoying canisters in every darn lab I travel through, and was afraid of opening them due to the experiences with blobs.

Thanks for that info!

In other words, I just found out that wolves stalk you right outside your front door for most of my world-gen games. Hooray, first deaths.

Goo pits turn enemies into blobs, if they walk into them.

This is part of the reason I use a lot of windshields and boards on my vehicles. Wolves can climb over your wheels and chew your leg off while you sleep.

hells yes! if those goo pits create friendly blobs, I have a new, awesome defence!

I think they make hostile blobs.

Anyone think that there should be constructable steel walls?

Not really. I'm of the opinion that the player shouldn't be able to construct anything that's unbreakable.

Which means we need two things.
1. Constructable steel walls.
2. 50 foot uber-zombies that eat a balanced breakfast of zombie hulks and steel walls.

"Ah... Nice and safe in my steel bunker of ultimate defense..."
"Wait... Is that..."
"OH GOD WHY NONONONO FUUUUUUU" *sound of a player being hit for 800 damage*

Or at least they would be... If their skin didn't have 200 points of armor from eating all the steel walls.

So you must allow yourselves to be eaten to slay the beast from the inside

I tried using autohotkey to automate the mass water purification process.

...it seems that cataclysm gets the keys mixed up if they go a little too fast (maybe ahk processes them faster than cataclysm does) I was trying to purify water and instead somehow activated a grenade.   Remember to put Sleeps between all your commands kiddies.

Of course this is also my first time using ahk so I may just be doing it wrong too, but it works with sleeps. :P

Pickup "a" from pile, purify, drop in other pile
and repeat? Don't the letters in your inventory count up?
