What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

I think I just obtained infinite happiness. Mutating Marloss Carrier, most of the time I eat a marloss berry, I spawn marloss bushes. I can then search said bushes for another load of funberries. Repeat forever.

Said berries are pretty filling and give +100 morale due to the mutation.

Now do you know why I named my character Marloss Man?

Also, I have obtained 15 Seeds and 1 Gelatin. Is there a way to multiply either of them? I’m not going to get Vector without savescumming a lot at this rate. Is Gelatin dropped by anything besides the Tower? I’ve killed many tendrils and none of them dropped any Gelatin, contrary to what I was told.

Tendrils aren’t coded to drop anything aside from exploding into spores.

From what I can see, the only monster able to drop gelatin is the fungal tower, at a 50% chance.

Damn it. Looks like I’m going to be eternally questing for some gelatin.

~we like it when locals eat our funberries!~ teehee ~locals should really consume a varied nutritional intake, though!~ giggle ~the Keymaster will have a nice one ready, we promise!~

Originally the hedgerows could drop gelatin, but folks in IRC seemed to think that was excessively farmable so I pruned it back and buffed the hell out of everything involved. Tendrils never dropped gelatin.

15 seeds ought to suffice. (There’s more than one way to handle the gelatin. You’ll know it when you’re eligible.)

Okay, I have to ask, why are you so desperate for gelatin and seeds?

A guess:

It hass something to do with the mycusmutation as mm is constantlytalking about it as well. and there isthe fact that one optains these questionable items from mycus infected wildlife or directly from a spire. I would adwise caution and also suggest to handle mycus growth like i do …with a handheld nuke or other destructive implements. Purge the xenos.

Yea sorry i meant hedgerows dropped gelatin not tendrils, it was hectic when i went to burn every fungus there.

After being confident enough that my gear is enough for another trip to town for more supplies, I headed out to a house that was quite distanced from the town proper which I already fortified as a fall-back base in case things go awry and I need to slow down the horde.

When I arrived at the town all the zombies immediately chased after me so I go back to the said fall-back house. While inside I accidentally a fire on a nearby dropped two by four while trying to use a flashlight (The key for the flashlight is " while the matchbook was ’ so I was surprised when a fire appeared while I tried to walk) so I took the chance to craft a few stuff. Since I don’t have a fire extinguisher at the time and I don’t know how to put out fires I simply left the room and closed the door.

A few minutes later while trying to go out I found out that they already broke down the barred windows and are coming to get me and the only room left without zeds squeezing through the windows and doors is where I previously lit a fire. So naturally I thought I’d just break down the windows and run like hell through the trees. To my surprise as I opened the door fire was everywhere and a few ticks later fire engulfed the doorway and then I ded.

I seriously didn’t know fires would spread THAT fast in closed rooms…

Apparently, a whole storage battery of power still isn’t enough to purify 30 gallons of water. How many batteries does a water purifier use per unit of water purified?

EDIT: I think I’m unable to purify more than 100 units of water at a time. A metal jerrycan worked fine, and four water trips later I have a full tank of nice clean water.

[Arek_PL]

i purifed whole 30 gal barrel of water with frying pan and nearby fire
but doing this take “some” time so now i just store normal water for general crafting and when i need drink i just boil some water and fill plastic bottles with it or make atomic coffee

Found and repaired a steam roller. commenced erasing NPCs and their stuff from existence with it. quiet literally. I should have expected that rolling over things with a steam roller would render them nonexistent or at least in uselessly mangled shape.

edit; and just watch with childlike wonder as a van went rolling at high speeds after I struck it trying to get an NPC out of the back. the wonder comes from the fact that while the van is rolling (quiet fast) the NPC is still clinging for dear life to the inside of the van while watching through the open door, the steam roller charging after it. sometimes, this game is just amazing. for now I just keep bumping the van to keep it moving.

I think I have a problem.

For any fungus-related problems, apply liberal amounts of !!FIRE!!.

Steps to kill fungus:

1. Strip naked
2. Get your morale up, preferably with a vibrator.
3. Grab your gigantic flaming sword (preferably lit)
4. Charge head first and embrace your dwarfy death!

I’ve been in love with this game for months, but only just decided my current situation was absurd enough to deserve being shared here.

Enter Kenny Green, your every-day fellow who got hustled off to a regular evac-shelter when the cataclysm began. He remained there for some time before running out of supplies, and leaving (Sheltered start). Stepping out, blinking in the sunlight, he realizes there’s a functional truck in a nearby driveway. Well, functional if not for the missing driver’s seat. He explores a bit of the town, finds a couple helpful books and enough canned food to get him through each day, and eventually patches up the truck to a driveable state.

Two seasons, a couple gun-stores, a chicken-walker, and a fair bit of idiocy on his part…
Enter Kenny Green, a bionic bunny-tailed bumpy-headed fellow who’s currently hurtling down the road at 100 miles per hour in a scrap of heap that could generously be called a vehicle. The space in front of him is a gaping hole, all the windshields are shot out, and it’s only going on three wheels… But it gets the job done. After spending a few weeks sick, Kenny is setting up shop in a farm and beginning to unpack all the gear he’s been piling haphazardly in his “truck” since the first day. His clothes are nothing special and he probably couldn’t take more than a bullet or two, but he doesn’t mind. All he’s worried about now is food, and so long as these giant wasps keep swarming the area, it shouldn’t be an issue.

I had Carrier (duh), now I have Vector. All I need is Vessel, but I only have 3 Seeds left.

EDIT: I’m out of seeds and no dice. But I found a breather, the second one I have ever seen. It ate a clothing store.
