Pissing off the RNG in a big way

[Reservoir]

Alright, now whats the matter? Its a normal gameplay for most of us

If that’s the case, then more reasonable balancing should be a main focus, or else you’re making a game that you can’t play without cheating.

For the record, I’ve been playing this game for over a year now, and I know most of the various tactics to surviving. Problem is… well, all of the above. The previous build was also broken, when a zombie could punch out all your blood with one shot. Thankfully that was fixed.

Due to the high water consumption your character is 99% water, and with all that wool your overheating and sweating. Thus you are freezing!

but yeah i run into the same problem lol… RNG’s curse you! curse you…

[Tase]

Water? N+1 carboys, a toilet, a hotplate and a battery or two. Fill N carboys of toilet water, clean the carboys into the empty one, 10 units of water per hit.

Temperature? Bugged, being worked on right now.

Crazy spawns related to noise (or just crazy spawns period)? Being fixed up right now.

Place to sleep? Farm, Sewage Treatment Plant, Cabin in the woods. There are other good places, but it depends on your luck and/or the amount of effort you’re willing to put in to clear it out. But ideally not the starting shelter unless there is a nearby watersource (aka right next to a river) and it’s decently far away from any monster spawn.

long story short the current build is fucked up im stilling play the last build for safety reasons

[Lost]

Yeah, I might just wait on playing until at least the temperature issue is fixed.

Nonsense! you must adapt and become an arctic warrior!

I can wear five trench coats and stay warm…

It’s not all that bad, really. I run around in midwinter (-10C / 14F) with 2 pants (army & normal), a peacoat, a knit hat + army helmet, leather gloves, wool socks and a scarf. Not feeling ‘comfortable’, but manageably cold (i.e. no morale penalties). By the time winter comes you should be able to compensate for the encumberance skillwise.
Spring and autumn are a bit different since temperatures can vary quite a bit. Just dress up a bit more before going to sleep, wear a raincoat when it’s raining (durrr) and you should be fine.

You got to winter?!?

Eh temperature is ridiculous if you want to even bother going into melee, I think. Since you have to heavily burden your torso area if you want anything done. I’m hoping to find a bionic to fix it(though I hear they’re bugged).

No you don’t. I have encumberance 3 on my torso - my dodge and melee skills are around 6, so the -3 penalty isnt all that bad. By winter you probably have found at least one silencer and a rifle so you don’t even need to bother with melee anymore… or (if playing pure melee) you’ll have such high skills that -3 doesnt affect you that much.
Putting on a backpack would probably be a bad thing though. Then again did you ever try to move in full winter clothing in the snow while wearing a huge backpack? It just doesnt work.
Fighting in winter is a bad thing, as everyone has learned in 1941/42 … unless you’re Russian or Finnish, in which case you are immune to cold!

You got to winter?!?

Yes, because full night vision is so totally game breaking.

Its not that hard people in the old forums have manged to go years on end without cheating/dieing

Yes, because full night vision is so totally game breaking.

And surprisingly easy to get if you pick robust genetics and night vision at the start. (Less forced negative mutations and the tendency for mutations to follow an existing one add together nicely)

I am not sure about the actual calculations behind mutations but i seam to recall the mutations you pick at the start not making it more likely that you get more from that category. It may be different for progressive chains.

Still some negative traits is well worth getting full night vision as long as it is not smelly.

[Lost]

Smelly and Very smelly are… well, they’re not good, but they do lead to the Pheromones mutations, which will help you blend in with insects or mammals.

[DasNeko]

True but when going for nightvision they pretty much exactly counters it.

I think only unarmed could be managable with skill alone at truly tremendous encumbrances.
Though wait, why are you only at 6 each for both as late as winter? Unless you’re using uncapped rust, which is what I do, as I play as, I get to 6-9 melee/dodge within 11 days.

Switched to firearms and never really used melee after that.
