Ahh, try using single shot weapons with cheap ammo. Best thing that comes to mind is a .22 rifle.

Zeebie have you tried making a bow and some arrows? Although inaccurate compared to other weapons the ammunition should be sufficiently cheap to allow you to train marksmanship.

As I understand it you have a chance to learn it based on your intelligence. Just keep trying.

Do bows train marksmanship? I thought it was only firearms.

From my understanding they act as an armor plate for vehichles this one being designed to protect against ramming hard things. Think of them less like suspension shocks and more like car bumpers.

I think you can just use the brazier now, which is pretty simple to make. As for the bars check the construction menu (hopefully you have some skill in it).

I liked more disposing zombies and all kind of waste in a fire pit, I assume the “Metal bars” option can apply to windows or it only applies to empty tiles?

Burning does work in the base game, it just takes some doing. If you pile enough burnable stuff with the corpses (and it doesn’t rain and put it out), it will eventually burn them away.
Smashing is the fastest and easiest. Then corpses eventually rot away.

Smashing them is fastest abliet do remember to check the corpse as if the corpse item name is yellow even if it’s pulped it will revive anyway.
