I regenned my world.

What I did was I went from one map tile to the next, went into my save, deleted all the map tiles and map reveal files, opened up the save again, went back over to the other map tile, and deleted the other one. I also went into Marloss Man’s character file and go rid of all the traps he’s seen, since they’re not there any more and they’re like 3/4 of his file.

Unfortunately I lost my NPC buddy. She broke both her arms a while back, and she was never that useful. Oh well.

Dear awesomesauce ice pickaxe

,o\>

We salute you, and all 1300 batteries that were lost in the struggle for mechanics skills. The best damn crowbar I ever did find. And that includes the heavy halligan bar.

= = = = =

I withrew from alcohol in the middle of the woods when I found out I dropped my gallon jug of wine. More annoyed about the loss of the jug than the wine, honestly.

I detoxed by 2 empty turrets at a roadblock, and watched lone zombies spend days digging at the turrets to no avail. I was woken up by no less than 4 wolves, 3 zombies, a tough zombies, and a fireman. And a flashbang hack that I hallucinated.

Having finished my detox, I spent 4 more days leveling up my tailoring and mechanics. Casualties were the above mentioned ice pickaxe, a pair of hard arm guards, and some cargo pants. I did find some .223 ammo though, so yay.

Now, with 4 mechanics and 5 tailoring, I drive off to find batteries/welder/torch.

I cant believe my survivor spent 3 hours trying to fortify some socks and all night trying to fortify an awl pike I traded away to a robber I convinced to peacably trade with. Yuppers, 2 consecutive persausion checks. 🆒 Being pretty has its perks, lads and ladesses.

Now its 0830 on day 7, and I have 10% of 2 gas tanks full of fun and half a windshield to do it with. And a morningstar.

It’s day 20 of the winter expedition, 25 days left before winter ends, and I reckon there’s about 10 days of spring with close to winter weather. Sluggernaut’s cargo space is about 80% full, so I reckon I can drive back to base, unload items in the garage area, re-stock some food, then drive back and continue the raid.

Wearing the coat that sees through everything while driving, so I will no longer need to use security cameras and floodlights for driving. Good thing, too, as it was getting real annoying to stock up on cameras and floodlights on the vehicle since those keep breaking.

Also wear the coat sometimes when shooting up hordes with the hypervelocity driver. No more guessing where the smoker zombies are, and the smoke the shots produce no longer obscure vision.

Wearable coat. -20 speed, -2 perception, -2 intelligence. Only positive passive is the see through everything. Decent as clothing, only 2 encumbrance, 6/6 bash/cut defense when not reinforced, normal layer.

Found an even better one several seasons ago on the same character.

A sword. If it’s being wielded, it can see through walls (small range), genetic instability, and -3 strength.

If it’s not being wielded and is in the inventory: no negative debuffs, and the only positive is a big one: complete invisibility.

I’ve got several good artifacts lying around. I don’t even know what they do any more. The only one I use is the One Ring, which has become part of my standard equipment.

The coat and the sword combined can pretty much break any risk this game has for my survivor. Due to that, I tend to no have the sword around - it’s in the Sluggernaut, in case I need to, but for most part I encourage zombies to see my survivor.

Also, fencing and the rapier plus hydraulic muscles is enough to resist hulk smash. Can hold down the wait button and eventually kill zombies by that method alone.

Huehuehue. And you’d done that with an active incorruptible sword, you would’ve burned the flaming eye for extra absurdity. o3o

I’d run into a jabberwock earlier, but I didn’t know that was in the vanilla. I thought it was just part of your mod. But I’ve killed lots of jabberwocks before, even with that exact sword, but it wasn’t in the game at that point.

Nyet, the feature of gaining that technique using a diamond weapon on a jabberwock predates my mod. o3o

What? Then I must have been really lucky, or unlucky, or it’s happened and I never noticed. I do tend to just stand there and wail on things a lot. Also, I have 57k kills and nearly half of them have been since I upgraded to 0.C/experimentals.

Marloss Man Reborn has been through four full versions.

It’s a wonder that save incompatibility hasn’t killed Marloss Man. It is inevitable. o3o

Well, this is his second, possibly third, world. And that’s not even counting the times I deleted the whole world except him and whatever Solar Roller there was at the time. I’ve gotten quite skilled at save-editing, though I don’t often use it.

Three out of the six Solar Rollers were his. The first two belonged to pre-Marloss Man survivors, the third was Marloss Man’s, The fourth was MMR’s first car, the fifth was built when the fourth got too small, and the sixth and current was built when MMR moved to this world.

Interesting.

Meanwhile, transferred Snips the razor boy to a newer build, make myself a wooden shield. Did a quick source check to discover that yesss, it seems I can indeed still slice things up with my fingertip razors if the shield’s covering up a hand. o3o

EDIT: While heading northwest to poke at the outskirts of this large city some more, I encounter an artifact site. It’s…a fractal urchin.

EDIT 2:

It causes bad weather in inventory with no other visible effects, no effects when wielded. Default of 4 charges, when activated it causes spacial decay but no other apparent effects, and recharges via pain.

Leave it to me to get the derpy artifacts.

At least bad weather is semi useful, my first artifact just creates blood and lowers strength.

I could get the same degree of utility out of a symbol of judgement though. ;w;

I might check the save’s artifact file to see if it has any hidden effects.

EDIT: These giant wasps are carving a swath of destruction through the friendly neighborhood undead. Luckily my humble wooden shield has been proof against their stings.
