What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

I am suddenly afflicted with aching joints when I try to sleep and I don’t know what’s causing it or how to cure it. Antibiotics aren’t doing anything…

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-08-24T14:51:19.000Z

Parasite, probs. Try fungal meds or anti parasitic meds.

Ah it’s probably the local fungaloids. I’ve never had a problem with them before but that could well be it…

If only I had a nuke to launch at their spire.

Edit: Nope. A tapeworm or similar, apparently. Maybe from eating raw meat when I got desperate?

Anyway the anti-parasite medicine worked. Good thing too because I have no salt to make the anti-fungus medicine. Would the “fungicide” item also work?

My Wanderer has finally sated the lust that has been driving him for seasons, ever since he first injected that syringe full of an unknown substance into his arm. He has achieved Prime status. He is complete. Perfect. His vehicle on the other hand… Is not worthy of him. That needs to change.

Fungicide attacks fungus but isn’t at all healthy for you. (And if you needed fungicide or anti-fungals, you’d be getting messages about mushrooms.)

Today I’ve had the biggest epic win/fail ever.
So I was just walking around with my character by the name of Friedrick Dasilva, heading towards a shopping mall to loot it. When I have finally reached the place, I was greeted by a full-blown zombie horde inside the mall. Meh, nothing I can’t deal with.

A few minutes of molotov throwing and rapier-slashing later, I picked up any valuables from the bodies before lighting them up on fire to save time on butchering them all. And this is where the things get funny; the bodies were right next to the shopping mall’s building, whose structure could be easily caught on fire. And that means that lightning up a big fire inside this building is an ill-advised idea. So, Friedrick, being a complete moron genius, forgot about that, and, well… You already can imagine what happened next.

The most surprising thing is that when the whole building collapsed onto Fred, he came up without a single scratch (and I should note that he was inside the building when that happened). And now he has like over 1000+ nails in his pockets, all waiting to be used by him.

TL;DR: I came looking for loot to grab, and left with the pockets full of nails for my evac shelter base.

I haven’t played since the release of 0.A and I’m really out of it. I transferred an established character to a new world to learn the controls. I’m now roleplaying that he stepped into a tear in reality and ended up in another dimension without all his stuff.

BadSniper · 2014-08-26T19:04:52.000Z

While playing 0.A Kaufman(?), I decided to try and explode my way into a bank vault. Having found a block of C4 from a military bunker, I decided to give it a try. I set its timer for 9 turns, remembered to throw it, and went to run and hide in a nearby room (which did not save me from being deafened by the explosion, unfortunately). The result was… less than spectacular. I had to clamber my way through massive piles of rubble to find the three safes, which turned out to contain nothing of real value.

Eventually, I just decided to retreat back to the safety of the fire department I had claimed as home for the time being. Great “fun” is to be had sorting out and organizing all manners of various crap I’ve gathered throughout the day.

An NPC with a flamethrower set me and my moving car on fire, I rammed him and jumped out to douse myself in the river behind him. when I emerged he was standing next to me, so I gutted him with a bee stinger.

While sorting my Inventory, an NPC walked up to me and demanded I drop my weapon. I refused and he shot me in the head, ruining my helmet and nearly killing me. while he was reloading, I gutted him with the bee stinger.

An NPC with an M14 tried to rob me, the robbery didnt go his way so we ended up playing hide and seek throughout a house. when he ran out of ammo he switched to a jar of strawberry jam and I gutted him with a bee stinger.

Some guy walked by talking about the eater of the dead and wanting me to kill it. after I completed the mission and collected my reward, I gutted him with a bee stinger.

I gutted people with a bee stinger.

Rivet · 2014-08-27T04:39:17.000Z

I like the part where the guy got gutted with a bee stinger.

And this is why I murdered a guy as soon as I saw him running around with a mininuke launcher.

I actually thought the part where he gutted the other guy with a bee stinger was better.

First 4 day old character I’ve ever had, step out of my evac shelter to go raid a library in the nearby town, been needing some skill books. I notice its raining so I go back and equip my umbrella, wouldn’t want to get wet and ruin my moral.

A few steps towards the minefield right outside the shelter and damn zombear comes charging out of the forest right next to me trying to rip my spleen out. I lead him through the minefield and 4 landmines later I’m quite happy to have survived my first Zombear encounter completely unharmed, and wondering why everyone makes such a fuss over them, so I continue on my way. Sprinting down the road without paying much attention as I have done times before.

Suddenly theres another damn Zombear right behind me and I’m fending it off with my umbrella on the way back to the minefield. I get there after blocking all of its attacks with an umbrella and the goddamn Zombear steps on a landmine right next to me, twice, almost killing me with the shrapnel. I’m currently stood next to it as its about to finish me off. After punching 6 manhacks to death and killing countless Bears, I never thought a Zombear would be a problem.

I thought people were joking about Zombears being so horrible

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-08-28T01:39:03.000Z

Git gud skrub

Ahem. Welcome to the fourms, Seigelion! Stick around for stories of how I was once a noob just like you! And now I’m getting chars past year 3 everytime! (I like to keep my seasons at 80, btw)

In all seriousness, welcome.

What?
It makes you look sharp.

SiegeLion · 2014-08-28T02:38:09.000Z

Looking forwards to my first month long character, nevermind 3 years, I’ll get there eventually and hopefully build and crash, spectacularly, a deathtruck along the way

Made a new char that ended up in the same evac shelter as the last one, this time without Zombears, and made it to that library, found 3 The Art Of Japanese Armourmaking books, which I think are supposed to spawn fairly rarely?, Computer Science 301, Autobiography of a Mountain Man, Engineering 301, First Responder Handbook and a chemistry Textbook, as well as already having the books at the evac shelter required to get my skills high enough to understand most of the books.

Thank you RNG, you have blessed me for my misfortunes

If you want to live longer, learn to play with fire. Ignore your parents, it is a great idea to play with fire inside when you’re surrounded by friends.

Also, if at all possible, avoid metal weapons until you get a good gun.

Bah, the fail in both your posts is super strong. The part where he gutted the other other guy with the bee stinger was obviously the best part.

My survivor just looted a library. There were so many books it took two trips, even with a loot cart. He’s been holed up in his fire house base, reading, for more than a week. I’m only 1/3 of the way through. SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE

On a related note, some books (ex. chemistry textbook, Handloader’s Helper) have more recipes than it shows in the screen because the sidebar runs out of room. Also, some recipes still use tool items instead of tool values. This is not the latest experimental but it’s only a few days old.
