I like you, Ninja. You say nice things about the stuff I do. I might make some guides to lesser things, like triffid hives or strange temples.

Daidalon · 2014-09-22T03:54:04.000Z

You might wanna mention the ratio of bang between a gas tank and a mininuke.

The use of “V” to look at all nearby monsters or items (using tab) is also invaluable. I would highly recommend adding this to the guide.

Praise our LROD and SVAIOR ninja

If playing the experimental builds, after looting a corpse, either torch it or butcher it, it’ll get back up if you leave it. (Exception: Unless playing with the “no zombie revivification” mod)

Miloch · 2014-09-25T04:04:10.000Z

You can also 's’mash the corpse to a pulp. They will not get up if pulped.

Arek_PL · 2014-09-25T09:25:22.000Z

playing with static npc is actualy good thing free stuff nexit to you just lure few zombies to him

Unless things have changed, burning doesnt actually stop them from getting up again unless it damages the corpse enough for it to count as ‘pulped’. Everything else just slow the time until it does get back up.

There’s a helpful hint in the UI itself: if the corpse is in yellow in 'e’xamine, it will rise sometime, if it’s in gray like the rest of items, it will not. “Burnt” corpses that are not also “pulped” tend to be yellow, but possible additional delay (especially if you use a flaming weapon and thus can ignite without extra time consumption) make it worthwhile to burn corpses if you can’t butcher or smash them outright.
Also, any damage to the corpse makes resultant risen zombie start with less health.

It might be worth including archery is awesome but demands a little bit of early game patience, and knives are awesome for melee. Throwing is also supposed to be great but I haven’t built a char for it yet.

How to Mutate

First what you do is learn all the recipes. Then you brew up 20 gallons of mutagen while collecting 3L jars from labs. Produce a jar of targeted mutagen for each basic mutation category. You might also want to make some alpha or elf-a mutagen, but that’s up to you.

Now stockpile some food and drink so you have something to eat while you mutate. Start taking a few doses of serum, which you should probably find while looking through labs for chemicals and jars. If you receive a negative mutation, take a mutagen that give the opposite mutation. Fast metabolism? Take bird for light eater. Talons? Take feline for retractable claws. Sleepy? Take elf-a for tireless. Decaying? Take slime for fast healer. While you drink your chain of mutagens, you should also pick up a lot of positive mutations. Have fun with your new mutant!

I would be careful of mutagen addiction though. I’m assuming that’s still a thing, but after getting it a couple times I kinda laid off the binge mutating.
