What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

RNG is messing with me so hard. There are two things I want now, a basic power armor helmet and a copy of Robots for Fun and Profit! and I can’t find either anywhere.

My last character, Dr. Alex Hayes, was peacefully sleeping in his converted APC. He woken up and found himself trapped in blob wall. He tried to ride over them, but even though safe speed of his vehicle was 170 km/h. Acceleration wasn’t enough to run them over… eventually, batteries died and he commited suicide from desperation.

Next time, I will build a TANK… suggestions how to build something unstoppable are welcome

I stated to work on a small nuclear winter mod.

First step was to set the temperature between the range of -40C and 5 C

FOOD LASTS FOREVER. At least it seems to, this gallon of milk has been fresh for 3 days straight.

Zombie spawn 50. Loot 0.5

Cheesed it and put enough points to raise all stats to 20 and take 1 point of survival.

Ran like bejeezus out of a spawning area that was 2 tiles from a city and was lucky to survive with |/ Torso HP. Stats or no, dozens of spitters and shockers do take their toll. The zombies continued to chase me, but a lucky rebreather drop let me make it across the river; though they still kept running after me. Ran into a dead cocaine gang and snorted my way to safety.

Got really lucky with some books in a abandoned areas, LMOE shelters, cabins, mines, and so on. Ran into a few scientist/military remains; which are laughably OP. Nabbed a shock absorber CBM from a dead scientist. Not enough skill to install it though.

Broke into a toxic waste dump and took the keycard. Got elf ears for my troubles; looks like this is going to be another elf.

Spammed books to become genius in damn near everything. Lost the Shock absorber via unlucky install at 70%, but got a toolset from a scientist zombie which was a godsend.

Currently still raiding outer areas; particularly for ingredients to make Molotovs. I just found out you can make them from lamp oil and tallow is easy to get. All I need is a flamethrower to go with my No.9 and I can name myself The Fury.

Ugh, why is it always so crowded down at the pharmacy?

halberdsturgeon · 2014-03-25T23:59:05.000Z

NO TILE

HeadWar · 2014-03-26T00:31:18.000Z

As long as the shockers are easily recognizable, everything’s fine.

Hibou · 2014-03-26T02:03:10.000Z

We don’t need tiles where we’re going!

That’s because it’s frozen.

Can still drink it without problems though, I guess you are licking some sort of milk ice cubes or something.

Dunno, but this is sweet. Tell us if you survive

HeadWar · 2014-03-26T10:28:38.000Z

Pharmacy was empty. =(

Had 250 zombies chasing me back to my car.

Zombie pheromones are pretty powerful. Not to mention survivor gear and machete.

Wandering in armoured car. Found where apparently two npcs died of radiation. One had basic power armour, the other had baisc power armour hauling frame. Messing with mutations and bionics. Found a little bit of a bug due to the fact of having ruminant and somehow removing herbivore with mutagen. Unfortunatly, it still functions as though herbivore is still there. Attacking FEMA camp.

Hibou · 2014-03-27T00:39:50.000Z

What sorta loot does a FEMA camp hold? I’ve never actually properly picked through one (but I’ve run a vehicle though them plenty of times).

Fish · 2014-03-27T01:00:28.000Z

ALOT OF STUFFZ. The guard house usually has around 5 solider zeds that can drop anything from a shotgun to C4. The huge ammount of zeds also drops random loot, if you are lucky you might get a gun from them. The central building sometimes has zed scientis which, when butched give bionics, there is also medicine (not always for either). Finally, the surronding tents can be 3 types: mess hall (usually has some food), Storage (clothing, meds sometimes guns in the gun locker area) and bed tents (tona beds, somtimes clothing around them).

Mostly depends on luck.

I was playing in defense and I had 2 mininukes so I activated one and threw one for the lulz…I threw the one that wasn’t activated.

HeadWar · 2014-03-27T09:34:43.000Z

I recently found a FEMA camp where one of the tents was an armoury, can’t remember exactly what was in it, but there were some guns and ammo at least.

EkarusRyndren · 2014-03-27T12:57:03.000Z

Just smashed open a vending machine with a 55 gallon drum of stolen gasoline to steal some delicious soda with a little over 80 grand in my “account” in the bank.

FUCK DA POLICE!

Caconym · 2014-03-27T13:43:32.000Z

16-30% chance of failing to install 5 different bionics? fail ALL of them, 60ish% chance on a 6th installed with no problems…
Electronics and first aid are both at 5 and have an int of 15.

I generated a random character to play as, and ended up getting a fragile, lactose intolerant psychopath firefighter.

So far so good, except I had to make a quick escape from a library where I was planning on spending a few hours in until night. I got my right leg bit badly, so I snorted some cocaine and took off running through a nearby forest to try and lose them and circle around, and I set fire to it for good measure. Seemed to work out well enough.
