Smoky Bear and Shia LaBeouf?

WHAT?!

In other news, I love bows, it turns out. I just made the reflex recurve bow and covered it with mods.

I made it out of the bones of a nice lady who I traded medicine with and who was seemingly a nurse heading off to find people to help… And died off screen.

I totally did this to honour her memory and definitely not because I couldn’t find any vertebrate animals.

Yes…

Mine may or may not of been made out of the starting NPC who felt like it as a good idea to attack a wasp…shame it dosn’t go like "bones of ‘owner’… not like they stack…

here was also trying to make like a mod that allows the bow to fire two arrows at once but no matter how it just wouldn’t work without bugging up somehow or someway, probably form the smart burstfire effect your char gains in later levels

also funfact… my game kept crashing every time i found a smoky bear… I’m still not sure why might be related to either my customization mod, the fact i keep ripping out my char in to a new world every time i update versions (and editing out details that would tie it to the last world, traps/mission/sent/active monsters, the car is a tad harder to do) or because my pc is crap

Does anyone know how to recharge a car battery? Or do you have to get a new one? And how do you tell how much is left in the battery? I thought it was the one below the fuel, but I might be wrong.

Solar panels, a motor with an alternator on the same square and have the fuel are the two easiest.

You can do it with a normal battery, (E) a car find the car battery then (f) to refill. Don’t do this with a big stack of battery’s in your inventory as you will lose them all.

This will give a very small charge to the car battery able to start the car once. When the car is running don’t turn it off till you fill up the car battery by driving it.

You do not need to drive the car. Just keep the motor running to recharge the batterie . Check whether the alternator is in usable state first though .

What exactly is a smoky bear?

Only YOU can prevent forest fires and/or zombie apocalypses!

One of the “joke” monsters, basically a zombified bear with the smoke-emitting properties of a smoker zombie.

DG123 · 2015-09-21T19:45:33.000Z

That’s less funny and more scary considering how much of a pain smoker zombies are.

_Rogue · 2015-09-21T20:10:16.000Z

Ok, thanks! Batteries are easy to come by for me. So batteries are like things to get it started, and then just keep the engine on and then when you come back, it should have filled up?

…feel there needs to be more joke monsters…

Random_dragon · 2015-09-21T20:28:26.000Z

Ages ago I suggested a Zombie Hulkamaniac, but now it’s a tad tasteless in addition to being a dumb reference to begin with. ;A;

Yeah I wouldn’t mind more Joke monsters.

Mhmm…how about zombified cosplayers… give another use / spawn point for all them items outside of profession flavoring and free points for stylish traits… shrugs…

Catfoodbob · 2015-09-21T20:45:06.000Z

Why not a HULK Hogan

Why not have a Convention Building Be a rare spawn when Joke Monsters are on, and any zombie that static spawns in it, have those flavor items.

Maybe Even have a One of a kind joke monster inside that drops rare flavor Cosmetics you can’t find any other way.

I got 2 ideas related to joke monsters.

Second Phase to Shia LaBeouf, after you kill him the first time, he quickly reanimates once after about 5 turns. With the Message. “WAIT HE ISN’T DEAD! SHIA SURPRISE!”

Basements have a Extremely Rare Chance to have 1-3 R.O.U.S (Rodents of Unusual Size) Spawn in them.

Make sure the alternator and batterie is in good shape. A damaged car batterie leaks charge.

If your gonna grind in the evacuee center don’t leave the doors open or a moose will come in and murder you

Any tips for crafting matches, lighters etc?

I can make candles but they aren’t much use without matches or a lighter.
