It’s the fire, contained fire (Fireplace, Wood Stove) provides the morale bonus.
I have acquired approximately 500 pounds of Black Widow meat and I’ve converted a lot of it into jerky/dehydrated form, but the rest of the raw stuff is starting to go bad and I feel like I’m going to be fueling my fireplace with a lot of rotted meat in the near future.
It doesn’t help that I haven’t found a single box of salt in the entire world.

Swamps are your friend. The salt water there should me more than enough to make your delicious spider je- HEY WAIT! SPIDER JERKY?! YOU MONSTER
Day 2 of winter.
As autumn came to a close, Kyla Sands has beaten two zed brutes in a street crossing only to find that a house on the corner contains a working car in like new condition, and there’s a mobile meth lab nearby, too. The next day she hauled the car parts to the garage and today I’ve hauled some solar panels down only to find I can’t install them yet.
I guess I’ll stick to disassembling the wreckages along the way to my base until I find some interesting vehicle design (requirements: narrow, short, but with enough space for a chemistry lab and other vehicle necessities in addition to cargo space).
Most of the city has been explored - the outskirts in the SE corner have a hospital and a school, but fortunately it’s some 5-6 maptiles away from the garage 
A qualification was omitted from this. It should read “Swamps are your friend if you have a reliably effective ranged weapon and plenty of ammo.” Do not allow anything in the swamp to get near you unless you have some really weird fantasies.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? All you need to conquer a swamp is not shitty base stats and a decent melee weapon with a high to-hit. Sure, those acid slugs are pretty annoying, and so are the giant mosquitoes, but most giant bugs will piss off if you smack them a few times.
Besides, I’m not implying to slash right through the swamp like Indiana Jones with a High Frequency Blade, just go on the outskirts and grab some of the salt water there, or if there aren’t any beasties around, craft by the salt water source so you can make ALL THE JERKY
I LOVE SWAMPS
AND THE FRIENDLY WILDLIFE
I also love how at high survival levels, a giant frog or two will give you a great amount of raw pelts. Frog skin armour FTW.

You and your furry chitin and your webs, of course you’d like the insect population.

Nyehe, you know it! The swamp wildlife be my homies, and the swamp be my crib.
IT IS THE ONLY PLACE I FEEL LIKE I FIT IN (apart from spider basements but they’re way too crowded and greasy, like a McDonald’s queue)
Yeah, but the dermatiks better not land a hit on you first.
Something I want to do now: build a little wooden shack around a salt-water tile, maybe with room for a fireplace or wooden stove (or I could just bring one of those survivor mess kits), for direct salt harvesting/jerky-making/hide-curing without having to worry about vermin spawns while I’m working. I’d still need to secure the place to build, but it’d offer safety from future spawns. I could even put in a window for light, and maybe leave an extra tile for a rollmat and sleeping bag or just build a makeshift bed.
Granted, I’m not sure why you’d bother with jerky when smoked and dehydrated meat are around, but I suppose some people might not want to bother with the charcoal.

Come on, you’ve never had frog jerky? THERE’S JUST A TIME AND PLACE FOR NEEDING JERKY.
I spent a night scavenging… then I put my cash card in a gas station vending machine and it crashed my game. 45 minutes wasted, all because I wanted to buy a box of cookies 
Sad Violin Plays
Ewwww, gross! I’d rather wear frogs, not eat them!

The more mobile members of your species getting you down? American flags and Hummers not bringing up your spirits? Wish there was a way you could flaunt both your patriotism and your disability?
Coming this spring from the Haybatsu-Electric Mobility Corporation, a new line of our state of the art personal transportation devices, the Eviscerator Mobile Scooter. Built only with luxury in mind.
The Eviscerator series comes fully equipped with ceramic-composite military-grade armor plating, UltraBose surround-sound speakers, kickin’ floodlights and highbeams for impromptu parties, and even a built-in industrial faucet to attach your jugs of Mountain Dew to.
WARNING: Driving your Eviscerator Mobile Scooter on anything other than perfectly level sidewalks at no more than 12 miles per hour voids your Haybatsu-EM warranty. Due to lack of seatbelt or harness, it is recommended to keep your infants tucked into the storage compartment rather than on the seat. Drivers over the age of 85 should instead choose the HN-55 Remote Control system, allowing concerned family members to take control in emergency situations, such as when Grandma needs bourbon from the store.
The Eviscerator. You’ll show THEM who’s a sweaty fatass!

Why has no one else I’ve seen on the forums do this.
I noticed that the local school contained 83 zombie children. The pile of Tainted Meat is quite large and thanks to Psychopath I was just fine

My God!
That thing does not have a seat belt, it is totally unsafe.
Killing 100 zombie children automatically gives you a psychopath like trait, you stop giving a fuck basically after killing that hundredth child zombie. Really don’t need a psychopath trait.
