What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

[quote=“AllisonW, post:5139, topic:47”][quote=“Abbysynth, post:5137, topic:47”]Built a burrito truck

Drove it around a field for a while doing nothing

Saw a mi-go

Drove at the mi-go

Realized it’s actually been chasing a squirrel around for like 20 minutes, but can’t ever get close enough to hit it

Activated the spare V8 diesel and FLOOR it. Hit a shrub and spin out at 180 mph

Hit the mi-go so hard it explodes in meaty chunks

Missed the squirrel by 1 tile thanks to the spin, drive off into the sunset[/quote]

Read the whole story, still wondering what a burrito truck is[/quote]

Well obviously it’s a truck from which one sells burritos.

[AllisonW]

this is a burrito truck

No kitchen buddy? Heresy!

Also I’d say the game totally needs craftable burritos now, except they’re unhealthy so I’d never eat them because colds suck.

Foolish question: what’s the tile in the centre of the facilities on the right side, with the cyan background?

He’s making scientific burritos.

I- wow I have failed the community. I added microwave burritos but no way to make regular ones…

[AllisonW]

I went to the (considerable) trouble of building a proper metal fence to protect my new planting field from my abominable driving.

It didn’t work.

I actually had a FOODCO but it was wrecked by a hulk and I installed a chem lab in its place instead.

The H? That’s the all-important minifridge, packed with burritos (of course), tacos, pizzas, and french fries. It’s also got steel plating, to protect the precious cargo.

[Flashlight_Hoarder]

A steel plated Refrigerator. Only in the Cataclysm!

Man, that sucks re: the kitchen buddy

Also, I must’ve had a brainfart. I didn’t recognise the minifridge tile with steel plating.

Mmmmm…

How much are your burritos, I would buy one of Abbysynth’s burritos

After exploring town found several military drop crates which two had explosives in them, i used one of the dynamites to blast my way into the bank which to my surprise actually worked, then i smashed open all the safes with a sledge hammer a zombie oh so kindly gave to me from its cold dead hand, and then found basic power armor in the first, light power armor in the second, and the third one had a money bundle… i just need to figure out which one will be best to use

Light. And you’re luckier than I’ve been with bank vaults. I smash my way around the first gate using a sledgehammer and hydraulic muscles to get through the wooden walls, then hack the terminal, and then crack the safes with a stethoscope so I don’t damage anything inside, and then I find, like, money, and a pocket watch, and an empty safe and shit. I’ve gotten like two bank vaults of lolnothing so far.

obviously the third, strap that money bundle to your head and go find a hulk to headbutt.

…We need a money suit outfit. Stylish +infinity

I’ve found like twelve Rivtech weapons in this mansion and several thousand bottles of vodka. No ammo.

Rivet, where’s the Vodka adaptor for the weapons I seem to be missing?

[JonnyBlack]

Finally figured out the vehicle system a bit. Got irritated my Electric Car won’t charge, and after driving it back to my base I decided to go find something simpler. Found a bike with a sidecar and dragged it back because the engine was dead. Stripped off the side car, made a foot crank for it, found another dead bike with a good condition saddle and went pedaling around. Got my driving skill to 1 at this point, and got myself into a bad part of town looking for more leather to make a helmet. Slashed my way out with a broadsword and hopped back on to cruise to the nearby clothing store.

I must have a fucking ridiculous driving skill in real life, as I can slide through traffic and around pedestrians on my bike without a problem, often while drunk.

Is there any kind of listing for the combat styles? I sure as hell seemed to get hit less using my kukri, but the broadsword often one hits enemies and I can’t use Eskrima with my broadsword which seems to be the culprit there. I’m pretty banged up after clashing with ~12 zombies and maybe eight others I fought singly which seems odd as last time I was in that situation I didn’t have my armor yet and not a single body part hit yellow.

[Vorpig]

Well, a bunch of things have happened, following the dropping of a nuke on myself, I’ll just highlight the most interesting. I found these bushes in the middle of the road. Got 35 Berries.

I decided not to eat any, because I already have plenty of food, but they’re there if I need em’. I also just got here, to the bottom level of a mine. Found this sick ass dagger and a tentacle dog that I’m about to fight. Dunno what the dagger does yet. Hopefully it won’t just rain down hellfire like my Breathing Napkins.

Edit: The fight was really lame, I killed it in four shots.

The adapter is you use the vodka to make strawberry surprise, then drink the strawberry surprise until you’re so drunk you just throw the guns at the zeds.

I dunno about the eskrima stuff, but bikes are a good choice! That said, are the solar panels on the electric car in good condition? If they’re damaged, I believe they have more difficulty gathering charge. How about the batteries? Damaged batteries will actually leak charge. Are you keeping the car loaded in memory? (You can do this by only saving while the car is in your reality bubble, which will keep it from being unloaded from memory.) The car will only gather charge while loaded in memory (and while the sun is out, for that matter). If you have the skill, you can increase its charging speed by transplanting solar panels from other electric cars (or its maximum charge by transplanting storage batteries, for that matter).

35 marloss berries

That’s an awful lot. I took out a whole fungal flowers zone and only found seeds. (I did plant one though and will be trying the berries when it grows.)

I was just experimenting with some different traits in my most recent run.

Masochist is not worth 2 points. Focus penalties from pain cancel out any kind of benefit you could get from it.

I know, right? I like the flavour (and the thing where it apparently makes you more likely to roll Cenobite before other post-thresh Medical traits), but it’s just not useful in its current state of balancing, and also that extra step every time you use your soldering iron is a bit irritating (at a bare minimum, I’d move cauterizing yourself for fun down to option 2 so you can just hit enter again). To be useful it’d need to be cut down to 1 point and get a significant efficacy boost.

Today, Officer Patrick Murphy died in the line of duty at the hands of a Rot-Weiler. His day had only begun, but at least he lasted longer than Gregory Royce, who got gunned down by a turret posted directly outside the doors of the evac shelter.

In another city, Rosa Lord the mechanic cleared out a nice little section of town around her garage with her new friend Claire. She then fixed up an electric car and pulled it into the shop before sealing up the doors and calling it a night.

On the outskirts of that same town, Jaina Lawrence the meth-dealer siphoned all the diesel out of a semi-tractor and poured it into a military supply truck… which she then used to ram through the walls of the locked doors of the pharmacy. Soon the area was swarming with undead, but .
