Through a combination of Looking up at github and such I figured out what I need to do to move the wheels of my full-sized base. I need a boom crane. And I need to get a book or two for that. And 1 level of skill, but thats irrelevant.
While I was dicking around at my cul de sac with 2 houses slightly seperated from the rest of the city an NPC came by and demanded that I drop my shit. I told him to wank off and he was like ‘oh, okay’, and then turned around to. I then told him Id protect him if he joined my cause, and he was like, ‘oh, well I do like eating more than peanut butter and rotten pears and thats all I have on me because Im worthless’. A friendship was thus born. I say friendship, but I mean that I bitched him and he is afraid of me.
Hector was given a knife spear that I used before I found a hammer of all bloody things, and a filter mask. Im debating giving him leather armor, since I stockpile leather and I wear it myself before I kit out for war and I prefer leather irl, but . . . thats a lot of work just to keep him alive a little better. Hes wearing sneakers and pants and a shirt. He looks like a high school kid, with a baseball cap and no gloves or mouth protection. Id like to think I just adopted a teenager.
Anywho, the culdesac is now cleared of zombies, though they trickle in from the city at a fairly steady pace. Its insteresting enough that I might consider bunking down in it and building a base for funzies. Ive been wanting to build an NPC outpost for a while now, but NPCs needing food will only slow that down to an annoying micromanagement until a system for them feeding themselves or picking up food at designated points is established.
My melee is at 4.80, my ranged 3, and I have almost no kevlar, but otherwise Im as fit for duty as anything else. I dont think Im very ‘healthy’ though. Maybe I havent recovered from the alcoholism, idk. Ive been drinking for morale since then though, but I pop multivitamins every now and then and I use all the gamma globulin I find. But still, my regen has dropped noticably. It took me 8 hours sleep to gain 1 bar of health.
So, I am on the cusp of learning to make manhacks (which might need some looking at), and have a load of books I have to read through.
