Pretty much the title. In the latest experimental, I got hit by a few zombies (no infections) and disassembled a flashlight. When I was done, I was at over 160 pain, nothing was near me at all, and I was apparently nauseous. 2 steps later, I died to nothing.

Memorial file empty? Any drug use or Marloss berries? We kinda need more info to diagnose this one.

Betting some sort of temperature SNAFU there. Head either froze or underflowed and hit the insta-kill at too-high. (Or there’s another insta-kill at too cold.)

If it helps, I didn’t get any messages about frostbite, it displayed (at lowest) -2C, and I was able to literally watch my health chip away as I slowly died.

Edit: Also, the head very cold appeared after my head magically dropped to red (I watched it tick down during flashlight disassembly).

Last time we had rogue HP loss was failing to normalize 'em on startup, and I fixed that a while back. :-/

Zombie bug is best bug. However, it wasn’t immediate. It just sorta happened during the dissasembly and continued afterwards.

Yeah if you have an atomic item that’s been damaged, you should probably fix it before it poisons you to death.

The more disturbing thought comes from why it was stuck there, and how it came to be broken.
