How did you last die?

Dynamite accident. Tried to blow a hole in the wall of the lab surface bunker, but instead of dropping it I accidentally held it on me.

It was three bundles. At least it was quick and painless.

Tried mining with mininukes.
Activated one in my hands and dropped the other one from my backpack.

Tried desperately to find a wrench. Look in Hardware store. Zombie Brute attacks and almost finishes @, but dies just before. Apparently he was guarding a minifridge.

Cart off minifridge in Shopping cart. Apparently a moose also fancied the fridge and decided to stomp out of the forest and @'s head in.

That’s almost as good as the time when I made pipe bombs, wasn’t happy with the damage they did, then suddenly were able to craft grenade. Thinking I could get away standing close like I did with the pipe bombs throwing said grenade.

Grenade bounces of car and lands right next to @. Blown to smithereens that fine men who finally learned good use for empty aluminium cans.

A zombie hulk spawned outside my base on day 2. Got away with almost no health only to get one shot buy a spitter who was in the woods.

Was full health and opened a door in a Necropolis lowest current level, got shot with a single bullet from a military rifle turret. It bypassed the anbc and the dragon skin vest and the various little armours I was wearing and the alloy plating cbm for my torso, did exactly 84 damage.

At these times where the deaths are pointless and almost stupid (I mean, getting instakilled w/ some dumb reason) I think save scumming is OK

Like the time I walked up to an evac shelter, saw a mob of zombies, ran away, and got stun blocked by 3 hulks who suddenly appeared behind me.

Reminds here of all them deaths by a GWTWOD, no such thing as a stupid death really if the RNG just wants you dead.

Here also cant call a death by a room / area layout a stupid death either if it was your first time there

Stood too close to a hazardous waste sarcophagus while I was sealing it.

I was trying to loot a city for some Precious BOOZE to fill my Dwarf Fortress LMOE. Lo’ and Behold, I found a Liquor store guarded by a Tank Drone. Naturally I tried to save the booze from the Tank Drone, and managed to dive inside a window just as it started opening fire on me.

My dumb ass wasn’t wearing a helmet, and suddenly fragments from the collapsing wall penetrated my skull, dealing enough damage to insta-kill.

Dwarf Fortress has taught you nothing. Helms are a dorf’s best friend, and not just plump helmets. o3o

They did teach me something, and that’s the importance of a huge, highly extravagant Mead Hall. Shit, my LMOE was expanded to include a Feasting Hall big enough to feed 80~ survivors. Now I really wish this game had more underground content for a self-made Dwarf to explore.

I put large external tanks from a military something on my LootCycle (early game stretched motorcycle w/ 6 trunks and an electric motor powered by swapable storage batteries) and went out to go get water and gas. Usually the LootCycle is great makes about 3 noise, agile enough to go anywhere other than the forest at 39mph(safe speed) and while it slows down after being fully loaded it’s still fast enough to remove any zombies that get in your way. However, after strapping 4 full 55 gallon a grabber zombie was able to yank me off the bike at which-point I took an external dirty water tank to the back of the head killing me.

I suppose you could re-load the world and loot/butcher your corpse.

Noctifer · 2015-10-30T23:18:02.000Z

Ran onto a horde naked killing a few zeds with my bare fists.

Litppunk · 2015-10-31T17:10:37.000Z

and that children, is what a blaze of glory looks like. Look closely now, but not too closely. You will burn your eye holes.

Liamix · 2015-10-31T17:21:09.000Z

Horde of Robots.

As a great T.V. Show character once said- “It’s got Chicken Legs!”

I saw one of those the other day, do robots run out of ammo now? Cause it walked up to me and I stabbed it with a shiv till it died. (and exploded all over my nice clothes)

While trying to get a sheltered start that had something interesting nearby something must have bugged out because I ended up spawning not in an LMOE shelter, but at the entrance to a military bunker, with 3 turrets staring at me. I moved towards the exit and got shot to death on my third turn.

I had something similar to that happen… I spawned at a silo and died after moving 2 map tiles because I ran into a fort? palisade wall and a whole bunch of hostile NPCs with guns. When I looked back the first message was something along the lines of could not find an LMOE shelter on the map.

You encountered a bandit camp. Cheeki breeki.
