IIRC, they will push each other over when trying to get passed each other.

ohh ok, so maybe that explains the downed status from firearms too, and the description stating “stopping power”

It’s happening in broad daylight. Frankly, I don’t know what to think. They have no issues with other jobs, like reading a book or guarding. But construction and chopping trees? “Nah, do it yourself, partner”.

Another question: Should I try to “open” those 2 areas, or that’s just map generator bug and there’s nothing but empty space or solid walls there?

And yet another question: I remember opening a window(iirc from another interface, like lookaround or V or something) which said “press %somebutton1% to describe terrain, %somebutton2% to describe monster” and so on. It was really useful when I saw new monster - it said straight from get go if it is dangerous, very dangerous or just a practice dummy. For the life of me, I can’t manage to open this window however I try. Was it removed, or is its activation just too obscure to figure out without outside help? If latter, then I humbly request aforementioned help )
Okay, it’s “e” in view mode, “show extended descriptions”. Will leave it here, maybe it will help someone else.

This is lab? Probably in these places are storages with chemicals. If you are lucky, you can even find welder.

No, it’s a hospital.

I didn’t explore any hospital yet, but I would try to dig through this wall.
Edit: Is sth good in these?

You mean in hospitals? Autodoc, centrifuge, stethoscopes. tons of medications, books, some food, some clothes, and nothing much else. Oh, and truckload of zombies, including shockers right from day 1.

Ehm, ok. I just wanted to know if there’s sth good in these spaces without door.

Oh, you meant those black spaces? Well, I won’t be returning there for quite some time. Have to bring all the loot back home, then probably visit the farm, then the lab… which, at that point in time will probably will be refilled with all those re-reanimated scientist corpses I haven’t butchered because of a too long a story to post here ) Maybe after that I’ll return to this hospital with a jackhammer to check those spaces out.

is there any differences in exp gain from the different firing modes (auto,semi, etc)

Could someone explain what’s the point of listening to music while sleeping? Or, rather, why is there no warning when you press “$” about your player being on? There is such a warning for a headlamp and even for electric blanket, which actually could be useful during sleep.
Also, about sleeping - shouldn’t you be dead to the world, i.e. not hearing any sounds (except those that are loud enough to actually wake you up)? Asking because when my character caught “common cold” my sleep log was absolutely spammed with “you are coughing” messages. How does my character know she’s coughing if she is sleeping at the moment? Also, “you’re listening to %insert music description here” spam when you forget to turn off mp3 player before sleep.

If you are tired of crossing the same body of water with your little boat over and over again you can use vehicle construction to build bridges across those bodies of water. Use a single tile wide x long construct for the fastest bridge assembly but it is the least safe and may even break apart eventually as zombies and other underwater things whack at it. A safer bridge is 3 tiles wide with the middle being aisle type parts and those on the side being quarterpanels. You can also use this method to build a small or long pier or dock to better park your larger boats or to enable better fishing without being on a boat.

Remember that every tile that you plan to walk over will need to be an aisle type. Mostly to not impede your crossing over it, but also to make sure you actually walk on top of the “bridge” instead of in the water where just a frame would be. Also just to clarrify, hauling will not work across these constructs and neither will driving another vehicle over it.

If the normal aisles do not work for you for whatever reason, try and use boat parts.

has anyone else find its game freezed/crashed after selecting to butcher a human corpse?

I haven’t seen that personally. My char is a bioweapon alpha, so she is always butchering corpses of all types since she’s always eating.

i think, its a bug, since it only happens with rotten corpses, and not with a fresh spawned one

What’s the minimum temperature that you can plant seeds in the ground?

50 F or whatever that works out to in Celcius.

Is there a way to jack up a 10 tonne vehicle (modified swat truck) in order to change wheels? What is a good number/type of wheels to balance out on/off-road handling?

Boom crane and Airjack should do the trick IIRC.
