I used to avoid raiding in the rain out of worry my character was going to get sick. That ended up delaying my plans so often it drove me crazy. I carry around a towel now, keep a rain hood, and pop a bunch of vitamins while I run around soaked now.

Shadowchaser:

“four days to get around to going to the next block over because sometimes when I play this game I become an obsessive hoarder and store every single thing I find and spent over half an hour gathering car parts from five cars and rebar from a burnt house and organizing it in my shelter when my actual goal was to get a new book from the library two streets down”.

I’m new here, but this made me feel like I’m not new here.

Thanks, I feel like I’m validated in more ways than a paid shrink could validate me.

This applies in real life too.
Want a computer? Need cash.
Need cash? Get a job.
Want a job? Get a college education.
Get a college education? Get some cash.

And thus, a lesson on vicious circles.

The ‘too dark to read/craft’ thing always gets me. Because either it’s too late or its f***cking raining.

Oil lamps can really save the day, I usually craft tallow from fat chunks and then lamp oil from it.

Since outside it’s full of annoying fat-providers to butcher, I never run out of lamp fuel.

Also,
lamp oil can be used to craft molotovs if there’s no booze around.

I need all the fat that I can muster for sausages and the like, and tallow is a precious precious resource. Lightstrips can work though, or read by the light of a burning apartment building…

Just get your survival high. At level 8, you can get fat from dogs.

Heh, fat-providers

Some of you guys need to learn how to stop looting…

system · 2014-05-12T13:32:17.000Z

Why? I mean everything can be used in one way or another. Like the armchair I dragged four map tiles to my house so I could sleep on something other then the floor.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-05-12T13:33:10.000Z

Yeah, but there’s tomorrow.

(Though, I once dragged a stove from a place to by base, but that was when it was clear.)

system · 2014-05-12T13:34:34.000Z

Yeah, but I needed it asap, to off balance the fire inside my house…

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-05-12T13:40:20.000Z

The fire…?

system · 2014-05-12T13:51:34.000Z

I lit a door on fire to kill some zombies. The house was made out of concrete, but the fire made it uncomfortable…

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-05-12T14:03:08.000Z

Lol. Could of went out to find a fire extinguisher…

(They spawn everywhere. Don’t ask me…)

system · 2014-05-12T14:06:19.000Z

I looked, in the bar, the clothing store, and the two other houses, and nothing.

Kill it with fire?
The process of looting is not complete until the entire town has been burned down and converted into rebar and nails. I can live without the rocks…
