But I could kill one of me characters with another by carefree placement of traps?
Or could I burn one char by leaving him to a house and burning it by other saving while house was in flames?

Okay I’ve heard sprinting’s been added in but I don’t know how to activate it and I’ve looked through the keybindings menu via ? and found nothing. My experimental build is only a day or two old so I have no idea what flavour of dumb I’m eating right at the moment.

Can’t move foward with current game otherwise, stuck in-city with zombie cougar on day one and can’t outrun it because running is some kind of secret. XD

Quotation mark " to run/walk.

How much survival do I need to safely butcher bionics out of zombies? Can I smash bionic zombies and leave them alone until my skill is sufficient or does smashing destroy bionics inside them?

I believe the survival skill needed to safely butcher corpses is about 3-4, but low dexterity also decreases your chances of receiving bionics. Also, smashing doesn’t have any adverse effect on the number of bionics in a corpse, so feel free to go pulping bodies.

Pulped bodies eventually rot away, so don’t take too long.

Both of these proved accurate, thanks for the help. My other laptop’s " key is something else, for it’s a French Canadian keyboard. Yay! Now I can escape bleeding to death from zombie bites.

No one answered so I will,

Small tree’s? pffft, you can smash multiple large tree’s. Just get enough acceleration, (36+) so you don’t keep getting slowed down.

Don’t crush zeds where you want un-smashed gear though. I recommend some good armor on them also. I don’t know if they work ‘as wheels’ probably. I put 5-6 in front of my vehicle. Works great if you want to go get some easy food like near an ant hill. Run over a few dozen. butcher… put meat in the fridge. rinse, repeat, Make it into jerky/dehydrate you have food for a year.

So what is a roller drum? It’s what used to flatten tarmac roads so they are smooth IRL. Yes, those big 7-10 foot tall things will see in the U.S., with 1 HUGE Wheel Drum in front and back. Not sure why they are so small (width wise) 5-6 small ones them in the Cata, they wouldn’t create a smooth surface, because there would always be a small gap next to each other , that would make an upwards crease when you press/smash the tar next to it.

They weight 1600lb’s or something like it, no matter the size. They will make your vehicle acceleration and top end SLOW, but worth it. Even with a 2-3 V12’s top speed won’t be more than like 600, safe around 90-120.

Do all zombies have take the same amount of time to revive?

Roller drums do function as wheels, but can’t be placed on the same frame as boards/doors/floors the way regular wheels can. My last deathmobile had front and rear rows of 5 roller drums as its only wheels and it worked fine. The weight is huge but honestly I never go above like 39 or something anyway.

roller drums worked great with electromagnetic cbm, hulk/tank/jabberwock instantly turning into nothing but its fixed now

Yes that could happen.

I think even the velocity of a car is saved … so potentialy you could run your other char down with your deathmobil.

Two words: active mininukes.

someone died with this way because he hit a tree and he was without seat belt so he went flying and got run over by his car and after creation of new character his car destroyed wall and killed his second character in evac shelter

Yeah, tried out the roller drums a while after I asked the question, since I had to find a way to move when I was moving bases. Kinda fun to use; running over things, then turning them into nothing after running them over again. I did end up with a slight whoopsie after I flubbed moving some of my travel stuff via advanced inventory and crushing most of them.

Also, found a portal generator for the first time. Is it safe to carry around? I’m assuming that it summons nether creatures and whatnot.

Portal generators seem to only spawn portals, but never seen anything come out of them. Can’t yet invade Hell like a proper space marine, so portal generator is a tad useless.

What are the effects of depleted stamina?

Lowered running, walking and attacking speed. If you try running while low on stamina, you may get a debuff.

If you play with Blaze’s vehicle additions mod, the portal generator can be used as a component in building a cargo dimension, which is basically like a car trunk except it can hold a million units of volume.

That being said, yeah we need to be able to invade hell. Right around that point where you’re otherwise left going “Well I basically have everything and I’m self-sufficient, time to quit or something”.
