I like how it is now harder to level skills without the proper books.
However, for constructions it is almost impossible to go from lvl 4 to 5 without a book, since there is no skill 4 construction.
Suggestion: Lower the “reinforce window” constructions skill reqs from 5 to 4. -
When constructing (after selecting construction type, e.g. chop wood, but before pointing to the place to construct) there is a typo: At the top of the screen it reads: “Contruct where? (Direction button)”

Item stacking makes sorting stuff a much better experience!
Is this also speeding up the crafting menu? (since game has to take into account practically less items) -
I like how zombie hordes are playing out. Makes the world feel more dangerous, and this is good.

Maybe slime pits are spawing too many blobs? In my intel c2d 2,4Ghz pc, the game used to freeze for 1-2 mins very frequently when near the 200-300+ blob horde. Had to use debug -> remove all monsters repeatedly to be able to continue with my game…
-
There needs to be a way to dispose of dead blob bodies (and other stuff that will not rot) now that acid rain is gone.
Otherwise too much stuff accumulates and the game slows down. -
With the zed hordes, game is becoming slower due to many calculations. Is it possible to optimise the engine maybe solving also the (5) problem?

Suggestion: Air Conditioning system for cars. Maybe also a/c units in buildings for spare parts.
Function: As long as powered, “normalize” the temperature in a 2-tile radius.
I mean moving the temperature towards the ideal 20 oC up or down from where it is currently, limited to a maximal ±15 oC change.
Eg, if current temp is 30 oC, a/c works as it should and climatized area has 20 oC.
But if current temp is -5 oC, a/c cannot reach the optimal 20 oC, only -5+15=10 oC.
Maybe the player should also be able to program it for an optimal temperature within the 10-30 oC range, rather than having it set up for 20 oC.
Also a book of mechanics 9->10 (maybe called ASHRAE handbook?) could be added with the recipes:
i: name: valve:
needed: mechanics(6)+ welder+ hammer
material: chunks of steel(2)+ plastic chunks(2)+ pool ball(1)+ spring(1)
ii: name: heat exchanger:
needed: mechanics(6)+ welder+ hammer
material: copper tubing(2)+ copper tubing(6) OR aluminum can(12)
iii: name: compressor:
needed: mechanics(8)+ welder+ hammer+ screwdriver
material: power converter(4)+ small electric motor(1)+ metal tank+ valves(4)+ copper wire(20)+ copper tubing(2)
Note: Maybe the vacuum sealer should be able to get disassebled in order to scavenge most of these parts, and also a crafting recipe for the vacuum sealer could exist too.
A vacuum cleaner item could be also added, used to disasseble for parts.
iv: name: electronic a/c controller:
needed: electronics(8)+ screwdriver+ soldering iron
material: copper wire(5)+ processor board(2)+ small lcd screen(1)+ pilot light(1)+ electronic scrap(4)+ plastic chunks(2)
v: name: Air Conditioning Unit
needed: Mechanics(10), Electronics(4)+ Welder/welder alternatives, Hammer/hammer alternatives, Screwdriver, Forge, Rubber Hose, Compressor (used to create vacuum and pressurize the refrigerant)
material: copper wire(30), copper tubing(4), rubber hose(2), ammonia(15) (used as refrigerant), plastic chunks(20) OR steel (casing), metal OR duct tape (hold everything together), valve(4), heat exchanger(4), compressor(1), electronic a/c controller(1), (small electric motor(1) + blade(1)) OR desk fan (air flow)
