What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

I’ve recently started playing with Wandering Spawns on, and honoring my commitment to not save-scum. If I die, I’m dead.

So, naturally, this is the most chaotic and stupid-lucky game I’ve ever played. I’m eighteen days in now (out of twenty day seasons), and I’m doing fairly well. I started off as a lab-tech with an affinity for computers and mechanics. I have next to no armor, but I’m doing well with my quarterstaff and hoping to strap some blades to it once I scavenge duct tape. I looted a library so I’ve got plenty of reading material, and I found several supply drops with nonperishable foods and explosives. I also “fortified” a farmhouse with spiked pits around the entry, and have used it as my home since Day Two.

That’s the stupid-lucky bit. The downside… Trying to keep the pits spiked and fend off the zombies that constantly get past is an all-day activity. No matter how many times I board up my bedroom window, they crash through at night. It’s a battle of attrition, and the odds are not in my favor. I’ve started relocating my gear to a cave nearby, and I expect it should be a much safer location to sleep and stock up in preparation for winter. I’ve still got all of summer and fall to go, but I haven’t a single gun and the nearby town has a number of brutes, so turtling is a necessity.

you ll manage.
i started a game with hordes and 3 times enemy spawn and 0.1 item spawn. i am at day 60 right now.

Just discovered amoebic molds by accident. Let me say though, the kreck and zombies chasing me didn’t like it.

Valpo · 2014-11-23T18:51:17.000Z

just ran over a raccoon . butchered it cut up a t-shirt…set a rag on fire and cooked the racoon… ate it…

back to driving carelessly.

Well the refugee’s have no problems with crazy cat-woman, I beat up a few dozens Z’s they had in a back room a guard suicidally charged them, while I hung out at the doors in order to funnel the Z’s but at least he killed made himself useful prior to his death by killing a shocker, even in death he was useful as I butchered his remains and devoured them in front of everyone else.
They also don’t seem to mind me dragging furniture around and smashing them to build a couple of fermenting vats, I like to think I will be spiking their booze with mutagen.

Valpo · 2014-11-23T19:35:46.000Z

Spiking npc food with questionabel things like poison or mutagens would be totaly awesome.
But as of now npcs don t eat or drink

Closet_Pankin · 2014-11-23T19:57:03.000Z

I just made a pnumatic bolt driver as well as a couple hundred tiny steel bolts. Perfect for post-apocalyptic 2033 2044!

…C:DDA is set in 2044 right? I tried to make sure but I can’t find confirmation anywhere.

Edit: Apparently the bolt driver does not in fact fire bolts. I just spent 8 hours making these tiny steel things for nothing.

What the fuck DOES it fire?

Edit 2: Crossbow bolts. God dammit.

Caconym · 2014-11-23T19:57:57.000Z

Oh yeah one of the names of a guard in the entrance?

My char being an albino cat lady (I’d imagine her fur to be white as snow being albino), can’t help but feel this is some kind racist(speciesist?) joke directed at her.
Neat little coincidence nonetheless.

Thought I’d try my hand at a ‘Truly Horrifying Week’ challenge. That is to say, I set up a character with the Really Bad Day start as a tweaker with every negative trait (that is to say, the maximum point value of negative traits without using conflicting traits). The hardest part of that was leaving the building I started in before the cumulative effects of the meth withdrawal and chemical imbalance dropped my speed to zero. I made it (barely), but my client seems to have taken offense to that and crashed the game on me.

I want to make a camp of lizard people now. My inner mad scientist craves experiments!

Nickal:

Flame. As a favor(to us all I’d say) please begin posting your killcount with every post.

Been camping for two days, found this just now. I will when you ask me, but otherwise no. KA101 is getting a bit mad at me for bragging all the time. My sig alone is bad enough.

Valpo · 2014-11-23T20:22:42.000Z

Whats wrong about bragging… i woulda roll play myself ingame but the stats at char creation cap at 20 …

Wanderer · 2014-11-23T22:12:01.000Z

After much trouble to find a rope to climb down to a underground lab first floor…

[i]One mininuke and a quantum solar panel, two mininukes and a quantum solar panel, three mininukes and a quantum solar panel…

…thirty-six mininukes aaaaaaaaaaaaand a quantum solar panel![/i]

…excepting the Thriller and his friends, is there ANYTHING that could greatly benefit of a mini-nuclear explosion? Or eighteen(i left half of the nukes where i found them)?

The Necropolis, perhaps?

Valpo · 2014-11-23T22:44:48.000Z

i finaly found under the hodd and was able to build a carlab for my crafting need.

totaly crafting pretty much everything now as pretty much next to nothing spawns on its own.

making charcoal aspirin,saline,amoniak and bleach. just takes days to make :3

found lots of cbms from butchering corpses … but to make this play even harder i ll stay completely clean of bionics.

Does it do anything special? I encountered about four, murdered three and left one for later.

Murdered because they didnt really defend themselves.

Fermenting Vats?

Oh, so thats why my vinegar isnt ready yet… do pelts require something special, too?

Its fate. Clearly your soulmate. Now you have to recruit him and keep him around, safe and all. Until you two die a romantic death in a cathedral.

If they die, throw a molotov at your feet and cremate yourself with the body.
