Well to disassemble a string… needs a knife.
I think we should get a recipe for 2 rocks to make a cutting tool able to just cut threads and such.

Disassembling a long string into short strings does not require a cutting tool.

HorrorNerd · 2014-04-06T03:21:03.000Z

you don’t need a knife to do that

At the start of the game you don’t really a knife unless you plan on hunting and/or fighting zombie. You can just sneak in some house in the outskirt and loot the food there - this is what I normally do in most games. Even if you want to avoid the potential risk of encountering zombies in the city you can live off the wild fruits in the forest.

Hey guys, new to the game am loving it so far, no other game offers freedom even close in a zombie survival. I cant help but notice that dealing with my inventory is a bit tedious, I use “/” To put away all my things but i cannot find any help online on unloading stacks, For instance, I have like 6 bottles of cough syrup, is there a way to dump out the entire stack in 1 action instead of repeating it 6 times? Otherwise awesome game looking forward to dying some more till i can finally get ahold of a vehicle

If I’m understanding your problem: use d then the letter of the items you want to drop.

if you want to drop a single item from a stack hit the number 1(for example) then the letter of the item

Blackopsman9999 · 2014-04-06T03:28:29.000Z

Dafuq… He found / before D and d? D for different tiles, d for same tile you are on, use arrow keys and enter or use the hotkey letters.

HorrorNerd · 2014-04-06T03:37:00.000Z

sorry about that it was a typo. D let’s you choose a direction to drop items. d let’s you drop them at your feet

Sorry let me clarify, By unload, i mean dump the cough syrup out, it makes you go through 5 checks each time and is kinda annoying, on an additional note, is there a way to craft multiple times without pressing all the keys? trying to fill up my gallon jugs takes forever

HorrorNerd · 2014-04-06T04:04:59.000Z

the only way I know to unload is to wield the item then press U. maybe someone else can help with that.

If you are talking about crafting the same item just press - after you craft it once

Good grief.

No, Creamy Goodness, you have to empty the bottles one at a time.

Thanks you guys are awesome, Just found a electric car with working solar panels and large engine with batterys so well see what happens

Blackopsman9999 · 2014-04-06T05:49:13.000Z

Fuck. You.
I find a fucking shopping cart and jump for joy and you find a FULLY FUCKING WORKING ELECTRIC CAR?

Mrnocamera · 2014-04-06T08:00:46.000Z

I got a sports car that had barely any damage.
Filled it up with gas, realized the batteries were empty, and then realized that you can apparently go up to 9/19 MPH.

No need to wield it, you can just open your (i)nventory, and select the item, then (U)nload.

I have about 4-5 engine including multiple large engines in my electric van.

And the top speed is still refusing to go over a certain amount WAY lower than the theoretical top speed listed in the vehicle screen. What’s going on here?

Mrnocamera · 2014-04-06T12:08:59.000Z

If it’s cruise control you’re using, then it doesn’t go above a certain number.

DG123 · 2014-04-06T12:29:09.000Z

Ah, that would be it then.

Then again, it’s not like it matters. I can’t see far enough ahead to drive quickly. How the hell does anyone do it? Are you all using fonts instead of tiles?

Mrnocamera · 2014-04-06T12:40:03.000Z

I just use the normal ACSII stuff.

It moves up your view the faster you go.
