sneak up behind them at night and throw rocks at them. it’s cheap but moving turrets…thats like having game shark or something.

slighty more on-topic…found my 2nd ever mansion…

FOUR libraries in it…wtf??? and another 4 dining rooms (from the looks of them) and a swimming pool.

its just outside of one major town with another to the north, gorgeous really.

the mansion is also just brushing a forest behind it, I think i’m in love with this place!! spiked pits everywhere!!! muwahahahah

Making fire inside the house (especially gas station) is a very bad idea.

If you start a fire within a building you’re currently inside, the only loot you’ll get will be that character’s charred death pile if you manage to locate it in a subsequent game.

Using only a wrench, my 3rd day character managed to clear out most of town before finally being overwhelmed just outside a burning doctors office.

my second character just died after his 751st kill…  
thought he’d celebrate by eating cougar…  
Shoulda known that gas pumps exploded…  
He survived the first explosion…  
but not the following three explosions…  
morel of the story don’t light gasoline on fire next to a gas pump.  
Was near getting to summer too.

I always keep a C4 around for emergency exits because C4 can be set to go off instantly, and those 4 turns just might kill you.

You can’t craft C4… yet.

Give me a week, and that oatmeal cookie may become chocolate chip.

I modded in an explosive item…

It was crafted in active mode…

I admit, this little fact does make my plan a bit unreliable, but I seem to regularly find C4 in military bunkers, and I usually burn up ammo to break in since Military IDs are a bit rare.

Unfortunately, my recent adventures seem to involve a great deal of mishandled explosives, landmines, and “You fumble at the controls x10”.  
This usually results in me being dozens of tiles away from where I wanted to be, missing several limbs, bleeding, swimming in acid, blind (or boomered), and being surrounded by hundreds of zombies, not necessarily in that order.

I found a grenade launcher and after a couple squads, plenty of new presents to deliver to the local (undead)populace.

Don’t let the game pick targets for you at random…dogs are REALLY fast and hard to see, especially after you put a 40mm nade into your toe.

Y’know nade launchers shouldn’t really allow you to blow your own feet off.  
Takes a good few meters for the grenade to arm after it’s fired. How about a minimum range of say, 5-7 tiles?
