2 deaths to smoker zombies withing the first 2 days.  
I hate them. I can rarely out run them and I can rarely land a hit.

DemonButter (Don’t think I’ve ever typed that before), are you using the sprint (") mode to run? Took me a while to realize that had been added.

It’s most fun the first time, deadmerits. Yea I know about the sprint mode but I get fatigued before I can escape then again I’m probably not doing enough to give myself an advantage. Next time I’ll drop everything and leg it.

Found a thriller for the first time just now. Decided to find out what would happen if I zapped the crowd.

I managed to stumble about a house with paper as walls and decided to check it out. I turn the corner then… A Heavy Power armor suit and the hauling frame was also there! My luck huh? So I decide to go check out a pump station out after wearing my newly found power armor. Hmmm I can’t seem to open this door! I should smash it down! My survivor was then crush by tons of rubble slamming down on their unprotected head. Had to travel all the way back as another survivor to gather my supplies again.

If you get the helmet and a UPS, that power armor is a lot more handy.

…I died from having my breathing stop while attempting to pull an oven. Memorial says it was a drug overdose, but I can’t imagine from what. Worst I ever did was singletons of codeine or tramadol, specifically to avoid ODing. Oh, well.

In a supermarket surrounded by blobs and a zombie dancer.

Sleeping near a blobpit is not a good idea, the game had nearly crashed slightly before that trying to work out what happened while my char was sleeping (it took over an hour to finish that stuff.)

I decided to see how physics worked when you took out the seatbelt and your car is 132 tiles wide . . .

I tried to make a zombie cage and throw their corpses in there for fun. Included hulks and brutes. Did not anticipate how easily they’d smash through the walls. Woke up to brutes and hulks smashing down my bedroom door. Booked it in the car and went on a merry ride around town at 2 am with 2 npcs. Eventually, hoard spawns overwhelmed me when I tried to find somewhere to rest.

Decided I would scout a military surplus building not far from my current base.  
On the drive there I passed by a cave midway and heard voices coming from within, so I decided to stop and check it out.  
Pulled my wheels off the road, chambered my M4, and cautiously crept into the cave.  
The voices were a lie, cornered by a group of Mi-go and not enough distance or ammunition to do anything.

Ripped to shreds in 5 turns.

The answer to Mi-Go is molotovs and shotgun.

The best answer for a player too unskilled to dodge or hit it reliably in melee is to run it over. With a bicycle if you have to.

Migos are nasty little buggers with fridge horror and blatent horror, and their range of effectiveness drops dramatically once you get skills.

But until then they are fast, damaging to vehicles, and they come at you twice.

Bees.

Rather wasps. I ran into one in the dark and ran a good block before it had stung me to death on the head.

And that is why I tend to favor static NPCs over dynamic ones. ;w;

Eh its a 50/50 chance that they attack or want to trade/join me. I think my ultimate goal in a game is to have a nice strong hold with many npcs living in it, so i keep both npc types on but i do turn the spawn rate for wandering npcs down.
