What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

Game Talk The Bunker
2961

Welp, it happened. I found a rifle and some ammo and thought that I could explore a lab with relative safety from turrets.
I was wrong. Apparently they can shoot through walls adjacent to doors now.
Bye, Makayla. I’m just glad you stayed at the surface and didn’t come down to meet the same fate.
Take the bike and the supplies we gathered in it and find somewhere you can be safe.

And above all, wherever you go, keep holding on to the fire.

[quote=“Bonevomit, post:2960, topic:47”]Alright, recently my dude has been sick as a dog. Every other day he gets the cold. I have 3 theories as to why this is happening:

  1. My diet consists of 95% fluid sacks
  2. I don’t wear enough cloths
  3. I hang out with fungaloids too much, and the spores are hurting my immunity

Anyone have an idea of which of these are most likely?[/quote]

Most likely 3. Fluid sacs* are Health-neutral IIRC, and diseases come through the mouth. (So “enough clothes” would be a filter/gas mask and otherwise naked.)

*In terms of “biologically-grown bag” there’s no k. Sack with a k on the end is a constructed one, IME.

Thanks, I guess I need to find a way to get all of these fungaloids out of the road. I’m going to try to build a car with a big rake covered in spikes on the front to get them out the way. It’s kind of hard to get to town and back without getting spores all over the place.

My current method of dealing with them isn’t effective enough, they reproduce faster than I can kill and burn them.

Here’s an easy way to stay safe while traversing turret land.

Lights off, stay in the dark. They won’t see you.

Doesn’t say in that log: was the door open or closed? If the former, probably Wacky LoS issues. The latter would be a serious Bug.

KA101 regrets that his turret upgrade cost you your position as Escort of the Flamebearer, and hopes that in future folks will not be so quick to demand increased lethality.

“It all works out” ended up as my last words. Main-lining caffeine led to the 'flu, which forced me out of hiding and into the path of a pack of zombie dogs. Easy come, easy go.

2968

hey do two-way radios do anything now?

I just called some dudes. Will the NPC come?

No.

2970

I felt the same way when I called them…

2971

Lying bastards.

2972

Some woman walked into my basement while I was sleeping and tried to steal some of my crap.

Suddenly she started flashing red and disappeared when I woke up.

I think my dog killed her, but there’s also this dude standing next to her corpse by the medical supplies, this is pretty weird.

2973

I found an American Flag! wonders if can do something special with it

2974

BURN IT FOR LIBERALISM

2975

WEAR IT FOR LIBERTY. Listen to an MP3 player and pretend you’re just listening to various versions of the national anthem. MOVE INTO A MEGAMALL, FIGHT FOR THE AMERICA THAT ONCE WAS.

[quote=“Slax, post:2964, topic:47”]Here’s an easy way to stay safe while traversing turret land.

I much prefer the version from Payday, “Stay low, Stay dark. Avoid guards and gunfire.”

2976

try make new base somewhere its hard to destroy fungus

2977

Just shoveing this in here, but DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT use UPS conversions on MP3 players. It will break them.

Now, to the bug reports…

2978

I seem to have some giant cloud of the common cold hovering all around and inside my house.

Any time spent in my house without an anbc suit means catching the cold.

2979

I tend to save and use flags I find as blankets. Just feels… right.
