Goddammit. Well, hoped you enjoyed the satanic hellspawn dogs!
I leave for a week and all of deze skubs come onto my damn lawn…
There’s an uber flower you have to kill as well as the little ones.[/quote]
Yes, the central one. But the fungus was still spreading when i killed it (the tan 7s, dont remember their name, were still puffing stuff out and converting terrain to fungal, which was converting the trees, and it almost get out of hand. And this forest borders my base, so i had to torch it down quickly.[/quote]
Fire used to work, not sure if it still does on the smaller ones.[/quote]
Big flower stops fire around it, but doesn’t kill off the little ones once it dies. Little ones can’t suppress fire but they can fungalize a forest awful fast. The substrain is designed for area-denial, and since the flowers’ sole way to reproduce is converting trees (or being manually planted) they’re very good at it.
I sort of asked you in another thread, but how do the other fungal types work?
Grey = spores, passive expansion
Cyan = haze, area-denial / rapid conversion of forests
Yellow = tendrils, nasty melee but that’s it
Thanks!
Just met my first zombie thriller. I survived. Holy shit.

I shot at a guy from VERY close range 5 times with a Mosin Nagant.
That motherfucker just beat me to death somehow using a rifle as a club.
I’m TOTALLY NOT MOTHERFUCKING MAD. FUCKING RNG BASED DAMAGE/HIT.

You mean to tell me you fired a bolt action rifle five times in the space of, what 8 seconds? At presumably point-blank-range? (About 3 meters, and I personally assume a tile is usually around 4 feet by 4 feet) and you’re mad you hit him? Because that in of itself is a smidge amazing. Because if you miss with that first shot, or for whatever reason your target is aware and close enough to grab your gun, a rifle isn’t going to do you much good that close, especially a bolt-action rifle.

I didnt hit him, that’s the fucking thing
and he didnt grab my gun either, he just caved my skull in using a polymer rifle through a firefighter helmet
and even then a single 7.62x54R through the chest is WAY enough to kill nearly anyone.

Correct me as needed but let me guess on the sequence of events:
First, you encountered this NPC. Presumably he was chatting with you, either you threatened him or he threatened you but that’s irrelevant, you came to blows.
Second, you took your rifle off your back, or out of your backpack; either way you’re spending a moment to ready your rifle. Giving him time to react. That said, this isn’t factored into the NPC’s reactions, but realistically speaking, it’s a moment you’re losing.
Third, you point a roughly four foot long rifle at a target that’s less than eight feet away from you. It’s more than a little bit difficult to hit a target with a long-gun that close up. Primarily due to panic. Again, not factored in, but it’s still another thing that could be used to rationalize this instead of "Fucking RNG"
You fire your rifle the first time, while the Nagant uses a clip, you’re still need to work the mechanism to chamber the next round. Taking a few seconds on top of setting off whatever little aim you had from firing the weapon immediately. Recoil is factored into the code but is difficult to see at the moment in the latest builds due to a graphical problem that was never fixed after the aiming system was changed.
You fire your weapon the second time. Again, more recoil, even less aim.
You fire your weapon a third time, still not having taken a moment to re-acquire your target again, just enough time to chamber the next round.
You fire your weapon a fourth time.
You fire your weapon a fifth time.
Now, at some point during those five shots, he probably hit you at least once. I don’t know about you but getting hit anywhere with even a wiffleball bat hurts and would fuckup my aim. I imagine the butt of a rifle would screw things up just a bit more. That said, I do not know if being hit effects aim in CDDA, but, more rationalization anyway.
Personally, hitting him at all would have been amazing. That said, NPCs are kind of bullshit, they’re a bit buggy.

Here’s how it went.
go past gun shop window
he is snuggled up against the wall that I am going around
tells me to drop my weapon, try to talk it out, he attacks me
start going backwards, he shoots me through the wall
get in cover around the corner, get nugget out, reload it all
go back forward
he shoots me through the wall again
he comes from the window
shoot him, shot grazes him, he comes up to my face
cant hit him anymore due to recoil (>implying recoil affects your next shot with a bolt action rifle)
get head caved in with plastic gun because he crits every hit
I did not hit him once after the grazing hit bullshit, and he shot two bursts of nine mil through a fucking concrete wall. sounds like RNG a whole lot to me.
Well, it is a roguelike.
I told you about RNGesus mang. I told you.

considering I have subpar luck for everything random related, I doubt any of my chars gonna go really far.
Fug.
Playing ocasionally, just trying to save one dog in town.
Brutes, shocker brutes, shockers, necromancer, but most importantly, a SEVERE lack of firepower and good weapons(nail bats crack easily). Luckily found Karate and Tai Chi books, trying to climb a office tower close of shelter for training.
I recently started a new playthrough attempt with the new version 0.B and I’m loveing it so far. Has anyone been able to survive the “Challenge - Very Bad Day”? I have a YouTube channel and had no problems recording version 0.A with Fraps, but I’m guessing due to some changes inthe display methods in 0.B I could not for the life of me get it to record with Fraps.
So I Ended up trying to record with OBS software, and it works, and it also allows me to stream with Twitch. So I did. nights of streaming later, the longest I’ve been able to last in that challenge is to day 2 (character died to the infection) Very difficult start challenge that one is. I thought I’d actually share a specific start that was pretty Troll-ific.
Basically start in a scealed room no windows, room on fire only one locked steel door which is on fire itself at the start, and like if it wasn’t bad enough, there are also a regular zombie, a spitter zombie and a smoker zombie in the room with me,… shortest start ever.
video is set to private by the way (as are 5 other videos that are on the playlist to the side)
I have finally gotten to the point where i can 1 on 1 a kabberwock in melee, and i still got pre-survibor level armor.
Granted i am using the Spiked Staff of Repellant Horror, and the knockback brawling gives it is pretty awesome. Will basic repair kits reinforce wood, i wonder?

HA yeah, I didn’t think it would get checked so soon,… The video is uploaded but scheduled to be published in the next few days… ( 4 days from now to be exact,… ) If you absolutely want to see it right away I could do it two ways, make it public (not optimal, cause if I make it public, I cannot publish it later as scheduled), OR I could allow your youtube username specific access to that video so you can see it even while its private. That being said I’ve added YouTube user Keyreper to access this private video, If your YouTube username is different thant that one, let me know.
So I restarted, because the ground-hog day thing was getting annoying, and I feel like I learned enough to go in for realsies.
I regenned the world, and left most everything at default, no wandering Hordes because I keep hearing that that’s bad. I started as a security guard, with two points in survival and dodge to start.
And find that there’s a bunch of fungaloids outside. A bandanna and Baclava later, and I’m outside training my melee skills on the fungaloids and the spores. All the way to the nearest town where I pretty blatantly kill all the zombies I see, through a combination of lighting brush on fire and smacking them with my extendable baton.
I find a house on the edge of the town in a quiet place, so I decide to set that up as my base, boarding up windows and disassembling all the furniture. Though I know it doesn’t do anything, I’m storing all my food in the fridge. I even managed to find a scythe.
There’s no gas station in the town, so I’m debating if it’s worth it to search for a vehicle now, or to search other nearby towns for one with a gas station and welding stuff.
