I have to post this because this is just weird and funny.

So I was playing a guy, and basically on my search for resources hordes of zeds came out of NOWHERE and decided to chase my ass down.
I ran back to my starting shelter where my starting NPC ran right outside and died in about 3 turns as I close the door and ran underground.
After waiting for a while the zeds finally got in and I was like "Well, YOU'RE ALL GOING DOWN WITH ME!" and basically light up a dynamite and punch the zeds with wild abandon.

Splat.

That isn't what is weird, though. when I started a new one I didn't suspect it at first, but when I go underground to get some resources that usually spawn there I find LOTS of dead zeds. I then found my former player's dead body and grabbed all the stuffs.

Currently on my best run so far. Looted some places, found a cave and such as per usual. The best part, though? I found a 40mm grenade launcher and 8 grenades which I used to own the shit out of a bear living inside the cave and a random zombie that happened to be nearby. I also have bear-traps in front of the cave.

Is there any method other than flashlights of lighting up places? I have night vision, but I can't do useful things like reading in the lower level of my cave, since, well, it's underground.

EDIT: Nevermind, got nabbed by a shocker and two normal zombies on my way to a parking lot to hopefully find a vehicle.

The only time I get crashes is with the bug where if a quest giver dies the game crashes.
I use the windows version, there's no real point in using that Tinycore linux any more man! :)

Right. I'll go check one out when I make my new character. Died by a hulk, I was just a little bit too slow and received a mouthful of torsodeath.

Am I the only one who imagined that as a hulk contorting you in such a way to shove your own torso into your mouth?

My game in a nutshell

You should make an in-game version. Right now.

Most of it is garbage, but that's the most loot I've ever gotten off a zombie.

Gotta wonder what that zombie was.

The ammo makes sense, he wouldn't exactly still be carrying a gun if he got pounced by a zombie horde. It'd be ripped out of his hand very quickly. A handgun and a shotgun, it seems. The bandana suggests he was a survivor since he was wearing a makeshift gasmask, which people don't do for a lark. But why the sugar, the tin can and the bleach?

Sugar high, probably used the can as a cup, bleach..... suicide, maybe? Or, he heard about how you could make C4 with bleach.

If you were stuck in a hellhole like the world of cataclysm, you would cling to sweet, sweet manufactures sugar too. That sugar represented the memory of a once great civilization amongst a depressing backdrop of raw meat from the mutated abominations and tainted water to wash it down with.

The tin can was obvious a new member of Can Town. <note to self: build a can town>

The bleach was for disinfecting wounds. He wasn't the greatest survivalist, obviously.

Funnily enough, I was drawing a hell-hole cityscape, I think I'll add this survivor in.

Question is, pre or post zombie? I'm thinking pre.

Just remember: bandana, 2 shirts, no pants. :P

Though I suppose a tank top + bandana belt could work for pants.

I always assume when I don't find pants or upper garments on a zombie, it's because it's been ripped apart.

Which says terrifying things about zombies and their instincts.
