What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

Game Talk The Bunker
3661

Running around a small city, killing zombies. I take a shortcut between two houses and out of nowhere I get a 120mm HEAT to the face. It’s a tank drone. I duck back into the alley to assess the damage. Clothes torn up, lightly wounded, but I’m in 56 pain. Time to book it and come back with heavier stuff, since I stupidly left my stick of dynamite in the Solar Roller.

EDIT: Shit, it outran me and came around the corner. I jumped through the wall with Probability Travel (which is the shit by the way) into a house bathroom. I heard it come through the wall behind me, so I’m booking it into another house.

EDIT2: It’s right inside the broken wall, so I can’t go anywhere without it seeing me. I’m zig-zagging though the wall so it can’t focus on me. It hit me with some .223 and now I’m up to 83 pain. I went back into the house, shutting doors. Now its in the house too, using its flamethrower to set the walls on fire. Its right outside the door, but I’m next to the wall ready to jump through.

EDIT3: It broke down the wall. I jumped through the wall. I ran. It broke through the wall. I jumped back through the wall. I went out though a window, but it seems to be confused and it’s going in the wrong direction. I’m using this chance to get away for real.

Now see, I could just turn on Cloaking System and melee it to death, but where’s the fun in that?

Swiggity swoogity, I’m coming for that tank drone’s booty. I’ve got full heath, fully repaired armor, two sticks of dynamite, a (non-hacked) clairvoyance artifact, and my game face.

Well, the house is now well and truly on fire. I’m sneaking through the house next door. I’m planning to jump out of the wall, throw a stick of dynamite at it, jump back in, and watch the fireworks.

Well, the burning house collapsed on the toilet, making noise that attracted the tank drone. One of the rooms, the living room, has a zombie cop in it, so I kill it. Of course, this attracts the tank drone, who breaks through the wall. I hop through, get shot in the leg, and hop back into the bedroom. I walk into the bathroom, which is next to the wall, drop a lit dynamite, and book it. The tank drone has busted back into the living room. It is within the blast radius of the explosion. I run into the office, which adjoins the bedroom. The tank has moved to the center of the living room, where it might not be in the blast. I take one more step, and the dynamite blows up behind me. No dice.

I run to a nearby electronics store. I take apart a radio car box and a soldering iron. I turn my remaining dynamite into a radio dynamite, load the radio car and remote, and run back. While I’m at it I cut apart a zombie’s shirt and repair my thermal suit.

I return to the house’s office, the only room left intact. The tank is out on the street again. I walk out the back wall of the house, arm the dynamite, stick it to the car, turn on the car, drop it, and walk back in. I don my clairvoyance gloves. I can see the tank on the edge of my vision. I activate the remote and take control of the car. It drives around the edge of the house, across the street, and up to the tank drone. I press the red button on my remote.

Nothing. The blue? Nothing. The green? Nothing. Maybe the remote is too far away. I carefully enter the kitchen, keeping to the far wall so that the tank drone doesn’t see me. I press the red button again, this time with an answering beep. I wait for an explosion, but none comes. I press it again, with another beep. I go through the buttons again, with no luck. I can see the dynamite there, why won’t it explode! I think this is a bug. What am I supposed to do?

I think you were suggested to set the signal on the radio dynamite.

Heading south through the ruins of forests past, with all those trees wavering and bending under their pine carriage. Cath feels the duffel bag weighing down, slamming the second full magazine into the M4, holding it tight in those shaking hands, coughing and sighing deep incapable breath, heading toward Moultonborough, keeping in the knowledge- somebody’s gotta be there. Somebody’s gotta help me.

She comes toward the back of a house, low ceiling and windows. Cracks open one of the panes of glass from the forest, peering inside. Eventually she determines it empty, climbs through the open window and settles in the bedroom. Yelping and moaning, from behind- under the window, a half-sized zombie whose jaw still rots. Catherine Foster turns around quick, centering the M4, and letting off one semiauto shot.

Sound rings from the house like mad, and every automata in the city perks up their dead ears. The short zombie slumps, head blown open. The woman with shirt and sweater shivers again, lowers the gun and approaches the door to the hall- gotta clear the house. She pops it open slow, letting a creak echo through the house, as all the house enters rustling motion. In seconds, a mob of them emerges from the bedroom’s glassy carapace, flooding the room. Panicked Cath slams the door shut as the house erupts into moans; creaking footsteps and the hallway slips into horror, shaking, bustling.

Running down its bending corridor as the walls to either side bust, plaster creaking as undead pour through. Firing one shot- held the trigger down too long, full auto, zombie dies and Cath falls, hitting the wall behind and hearing it crunch. The door to the room collapses, gotta run-- closet. As a mob comes through the front doors, Catherine opens the closet, smashing apart the shelving inside. Sudden pain, burning, horrible pain as one of them bites into her shoulder.

Turning- goddamnit, backing up into the closet and firing full-auto into the zombie’s neck as it sprays red. Another one streams in front of the closet door, blam! Another one… BLAM! They’re coming, Cath can’t breathe too well, kicking away a corpse in front of her, crying out- BLAM- get the closet closed, shutting, shutting, slam.

Moaning, creaking, echoed pain, all around- they’re all around. Trapped in a closet, Catherine Foster lets herself cry.

[spoiler]Did I mention that I have 2.5x spawn rate /and/ fast zombies? Yeah.

No deaths yet OOC, but that changes. Yes- this was the first result. I got in the house, fucking SWARMED, let loose ~20 bullets, broke into a closet as I was shooting the numerous zombies around, hid inside until I killed something like 6 of them, moved the corpses, closed the door, hid for like an hour. Was scary as shit as I hadn’t even begun savescumming.[/spoiler]

3668

I’m very sorry about that, the radio detonators are broken at the moment, I’m working on them, but it’s gotten unexpectedly tricky for some reason :frowning:

"you cut up your only gun into 12 plastic chunks " so yeah my hand slipped

(Got back into Cata, save from roughly half a month ago in newest experimental)

/I was lucky enough to find a working solar car pretty early, and it’s the kind with upgraded panels, too/

Found a wrench, cannibalized another (normal) solar car for spare parts, swapped in a trunk for a box, drove around a bit, installed a second trunk and opaque door between driver part and cargo part. Can store my stuff in the car without problems.

Now I can either drive a way north and cannibalize a humvee for parts or go south into the city. The outskirts are all looted.

What should I do?

3672

I usualy clear the whole city before i build a car >.>

dunno i need my peace and quiet while at it xD

3673

Honestly, organizing loot is probably the most tedious part of this game. I haul my large truck full of loot back to my evac shelter base, filled with lockers and counters, items categorized; takes about an hour to get everything sorted. Yet I’m too OCD to just randomly drop stuff everywhere.

3674

I organize the hell out of my stuff. I have a room devoted to random crap I find, cupboards dedicated to food stuffs, and lockers I made to hold weapons and ammo.

Then there’s my bedroom that holds all of my clothes and armor, but that’s a whole different story.

Sounds pretty familiar. I should build a few extra rooms to the evac shelter, I don’t use the basement for anything since I can’t take my shopping cart downstairs. I use that thing for all my hauling inside my base, couldn’t imagine doing without it. Would love to see other people’s setup though, isn’t there a thread for that?

3676

I got thrown by a shocker brute while I was organizing some drinks. I found a vending machine that had around 400 units of drinks in it, which is pretty insane but still welcome. I can’t drink any of them because I have Mycus Feeder, though, so I left them there.

Oh wow, I never thought that other people would do the shit I do in Cata…

After lots of character deaths in a new world, managed to find a mansion, looted the library, got the food, stored everything and smiled with the satisfaction of a safe place to stay for a while.

Then a NPC armed with a crossbow decided to threaten and later try to kill me. I managed to run to my bedroom and weird, but he didn’t barged in. Tried to sleep to recover, to no avail, so decided to use the night to find somewhere else to sleep.

But he found me, without making any noise, at the bathroom. Broadsword x crossbow, every turn tense since i didn’t had any strength to keep the sword in my hands after each strike, and he was missing my vitals.

I won, and as the RNG likes to play with me, i found out that chain link fences won’t stop a mi-go of getting you.

I have a pile of stuff for killing, a pile of stuff for stuffing my face, a pile of random crafting junk (basically everything not nailed down… and the nails… and walls), and a pile of dirty clothes on the bed.

Today I drove around town was my new Loot Scooter™.
Scouted a few nice places to loot like Home Depot and K-Mart.
I happened upon a Shocker Brute, but he was dead in 10 arrows.

As I was driving back, I had quite a surprise.
I ran over two landmines and got hurt pretty badly.
One of my wheels is missing now.
At least I didn’t pass out from 60 pain.
The more you know.
