I shouldn t have named the world sparta.
How fitting.
I realy should have learned swimming.
But it always seems so useless.
Has Dwarf Fortress taught you nothing? XP
In df leaping into water is cool. It creates mist⌠i can dive⌠and i can throw enemies into it. Its usefull there. Also you can dodge into water quite easily. Also if you wanna flee by jumoing into water. So much uses. Don t compare it to df ⌠heresy!
The moral of the story? Buying a point in swimming is a good preparation. Thatâs the DF lesson I was referring to, heretical or not. <3
Do you want me to get started on how skills and atributes are separated in df unlike here? I dare you.
I definatly made a mistake though⌠don t rub it in âŚ
Huehuehue. =w=
But yeah, swimming is useful both games, though itâs moreso in DF.
Ok, iâm done with this game :(.
THis is pretty stupid, going very carefully with âXâ around every corner to not get shot by those milspec turrets near the military base when BAM, i die.
Apparently they can shoot me around the corner even when i donât see them, this sucks. Until this is repaired, i am not risking losing another carefully played char again.
Moral of the story? Donât approach mil-spec turrets. o3o
i needed to hack them.
All my half-god bionic filled Alpha characters that lasted ingame years were killed by a mil-spec or antimateriel turrets. Honestly right now I just avoid the outposts like a plague.
NPC with a shotgun. But not in the way you would expect.
I managed to save an NPC, and did a mission (kill a named regular Z) to make him happy. After two days of being happy that he didnât want to shoot my slimy, radioactive body, I decided to raid a home improvement store. I set the NPC to not use guns, and only use silent weapons.
The fight started well enough, and we killed about 30 zombies. But we were both rather injured, so I decided to pull back to my pickup truck, get the NPC a safe distance, and start butchering corpses, and getting clothing materials.
Mistake #1: Setting the NPC to âGuard this positionâ rather than âDo not engage unless your life depends on itâ
NPC switches to his double-barrel shotgun, spots a zombie in his âguardâ range, and since he is guarding, doesnât obey my orders to stick to silent weapons. I hear two loud BANGs, see two dead zombies, and decide to group up.
Mistake #2: Not immediately vacating the premises.
I donât know why, but I decided to make a stand. I figured that his high shotgun skill would be enough.
Mistake #3: Re-hiring him.
At the time, I thought it was a bug that he was using his shotgun. So I rehired him. This re-enabled his combat settings, and he switched to his best melee weapon ⌠his shotgun. I was still none the wiser.
Mistake #4: Choosing to use my .22 pea-shooter (forgotten the name, but it was the most pathetic gun I had seen that wasnât a BB gun or a nail gun), instead of my machete or martial arts.
I forgot that, with my skill, I did more damage with melee weapons than my gun, even at point blank range. I think I was wearing a duffel bag at the time, but I could have dropped it easily.
Mistake #5: Trying to run when the horde attacked me.
I had recently cauterized my wounds, and was at 70 pain. Obviously I couldnât run to save myself. So when the horde hit me, one of the zombies grabbed me, and I lacked the strength to move the one tile to the car controls.
Ded.
And that is why you only use shotguns if youâre certain you can take on the entire city and win.
i was fine until it decided to shoot me through the corner, which i didnât think is possible (and still donât).
I die in hilarious way early on. But later i usualy only die by 120mm cannon or greande shower from a chicken walker Though i haven t seen a tankbot or walker in ages.
You were using the âXâ to peek, right? Peeking like that still uses a small amount of time, which can give turrets a brief window of time to shoot at you. Itâs the regular lowercase âxâ look, that doesnât require you to move, that exists outside time.

yeah, i was peeking.but i wouldnât say it was brief :D. I was pretty well armored, able to survive a few hits from a turret (actually, earlier that same day i survived a burst from a milspec turret), but apparently it unleashed a lot of fury at me.
The sad thing is, i canât make myself start another char. The last one took me a couple of weeks to get going. Had a nice set of bionics, very good skills and martial styles, a finished mobile base. Started to make alpha mutagens, had found the diamond weapons book too and so on. SO starting now all over feels like a pain in the ass.
I have tried to debug myself at least some of the things i had last time but it is very tedious, i shouldâve just make a backup copy of the save.
When in doubt, thereâs always savescumming. If you have it set to ask whether or not you want to view your deathcam, quitting there sidesteps most of the bugs that would usually occur when savescumming while dead.
