Zombies are cleaning out the broken glass from windows sometimes when they come through, bug or feature?

Zombies are cleaning out the broken glass from windows sometimes when they come through, bug or feature?

They are punching it, which can clear the glass and sometimes collapses the whole roof for some reason.
You can do it too.

Zombies punch walls too now occasionally, I think. Not that it does anything aside from making noise.

yay now at night you can turn houses into zombie punching dummys as well

So, i’ve been wondering:
How the hell do you guys stay warm at night?
I try using fire normally, but that ends up burning out too quickly,
I’d wear more clothing, and stockpile it, but that’s not much of an option considering how you can easily die in the cities.

Warm? Warmth is for the weak, you must be chilly all day every day.

Chilly isn’t the problem.
Frostbite is.

Lorknis · 2014-09-16T16:52:14.000Z

Well to prevent the frostbite, you must drink more vodka.

For a more serious answer, just killing a zombie and stripping it of its clothes forms enough of a pile to stay warm.

I’m having trouble with Junkfood Intolerance, as I find it hard to work out whether something is junkfood or not before I eat it.
Like, SPAM is kinda crappy for you but I wouldn’t put it into the same category as potato chips.
-75 morale on consuming junkfood is pretty crippling sometimes, and frustrating when its avoidable.
Is there a list of junkfood available, or some sign I’m missing?

jcd · 2014-09-16T19:48:53.000Z

only place i’ve found about whether something is junk food or not, is the crafting menu.
if it is, the food’s material will state Junk Food, among its other materials (or maybe just Junk Food)

e.g. cooked TV dinner: Material: Flesh, Junk Food

if its not something craftable, sorry, i don’t know of an ingame way for it… (eg. cream soda)
but you could look at the comestibles JSON, use your head (no offense - i mean deciding if its good for you), or trial and error…

Make a sleeping bag. Leave it lying on the bed, you’ll automatically use it if you’re in the same square.

this also works if you drop a pile of clothes on a bed, then sleep on it. you automatically use all of them to keep warm.

Part of the trouble was that i was stuck outside the city, no way to get clothes.
Thankfully i managed to run my hellish tentacle form through the city, fighting with drunken boxing, and steal a dinosaur costume, and then jump in the river and swim all the way back to my little campsite.

On a related note:
Beavers are the meese of the river.

Datanazush · 2014-09-17T14:00:12.000Z

I hope that you were making full zoidberg noises while fleeing through the city.

Only if he was also wearing the dinosaur costume.

Do car components drain batteries even when “off”?

All my car is in the green. I checked battery levels before sleeping and it was at 5-7%. Somewhere in there.
I wake up. On a clear day. 1% battery. NOTHING is on. I have a fridge, but it’s off. I want to be able to drive out of here! any ideas short of cannibalizing my car to make a shopping cart-style battery charger? I have about 8 solar panels.
