Tips, Tricks, and Newb Questions!

Somehow the dynamic spawn never seems to work for me. Empty citys stay empty… i might be doing something wrong. Only things that spawn till they break my framerateto unplayableness are the blobs near a running car.

Jesus Christ, is there any way to put solar panels on the roof of your vehicle and not have them be the visible tile? I can’t see where my fridge or anything is.

That issue has been fixed in the experimental. when you enteryour car they disapear from your field of view and you see the interrior

Awesome, but does experimental just now not run on XP? It won’t even open for me.

I am not aware of any problemswith win xp. However i never tried nor asked if there are so perhaps someone else can help there. I just dowloaded the recent version to try whether its the current build that has a problem. It works fine for me on win 7.

If it helps anyone, here’s the debug.log


5:30:18.250 : Starting log.
5:30:18.390 SDL : src/sdltiles.cpp:317: Failed to select render target: That operation is not supported
5:30:18.390 : initscr failed!
5:30:18.437 : Log shutdown.

EDIT: Never mind, I’ve got it. I just googled part of the error message and got a link to a similar thread from not long ago. For the record, just in case anyone googles up THIS post someday, the solution was to go to options.txt and enable software rendering. :slight_smile:

What can I do with soap bars?
Should I bother hoarding them or throw them in the fireplace.

You can craft explosives with them.

Nice.
I guess I gotta study my “Napalm Warfare History Book”.

How to train construction past 1 without books?

You don’t. It is not worth it.

Just finished making crates, took literally all day.
At least I can make a damn fireplace now hooray~

You can chop trees if you find (or make) an axe. That can get you (incredibly slowly) to level 3, so you can make beds.

Where do you find spray can’s? I’m trying to build welding goggles (too risky to go in and get them from a garage)

I find spray cans in houses all the time. Check basements too.
I think I found a spray can at a sporting good store once.

I just switched from stable to experimental. Why does starting in spring mean it’s 20 degrees and snowing now?

Windchill AFAIK, they’re trying to balance it. Welcome to the experimental, full of wonder and sometimes utterly dysfunctional, yet we love it anyway.

Ok cool, I just wondered if it was some sort of “actually starts you on last day of winter” thing.

Because

it doesn't stop snowing at midnight on spring equinox

as someone said on the forums.
