I got a random Rough skin mutation, but my radiation badge didn’t do anything and I didn’t eat or do anything unusual that I know of. Also just got a random “you succumb to the infection” message even though I haven’t been bitten any time recently, am in near perfect health except for some slightly chilly arms and am showing no other affects or anything. Day 3 of game Sheltered scenario, more food than I can shake a stick at, and will have a functioning car soon as I hit lvl 2 mechanics. (took battery out of car in good condition before I looked at bat/gas stats) SOOO much water, a lot purified, and mountains of rags and plenty of leather for anything I feel the need to do as well as some great anti rad clothing, and soldier attire. But I have season length on something like 56 days (or some other nearby multiple of 7…unless I did bad math while tired or something)
Athena ‘gypsy’ Foxtail is excited by the prospects of her survival, and can’t seem to stop hitting all the jackpots.

Interesting, might be worth keeping a copy of that save around. Sounds Buggy.
Got tired of that world. That was like the third person, she died because obnoxious NPC ran up help me help me or ima keep being obnoxious, basically just said yea whatever Ill do it (later) then appears rapes him and charges me. O.o well fuck. Still have it around but previous characters had already gathered everything in the area and cooked/tailored everything needed and there were no towns around (just empty hazard and 2 story motel and untouched prison)…yea screw that, its a terrible condition for new character to level in since everything is already done.
Im now playing on another world that looks like its going to be more obnoxious. Game couldn’t find spawn shelter even though there was one in NW corner of starter map, no roads in sight except for SW corner of starter map where there is a lab. Bad part though is that almost the entire visible map is forest with a little field here and there. Long walk to get anywhere productive. Cars going to be a must, but going to have to carve a path through the whole forest to make it useful.
meh already started Im not starting over again unless it gets really bad, though not having tailor kit in sight is going to make progression more…natural.
Day 13 of winter, Kyla Sands (who started as a naturalist in a middle of nowhere) spent the last two days reading books. The day earlier, she killed the last zeds remaining in town.
Today, she has successfully crafted her first CBM.
The problem is, I dunno how to progress. East - triffids and a hospital full of zeds, and I’m running out of arrows. South, an office tower with two smokers in it, and further down a second city with something unpleasant (something with a laser dot :P). North is all explored and what do I do now? I’d like to keep playing this one until Coolthulthu’s Z-level and Angys’s mapgen additions get done and merged…
i allways played with longest possible seasons and winter it was nice because food do not root fast
this time i played with slighty more than default season time and spring start
now its summer and my character cant go into combat because i cant find any armor what will do not make him boil in it
i need to find an ice lab soon
Shoot the z nn armor.

Make more arrows seems like the logical first step, but you’ve probably done that already. Laser-dot can probably be bypassed more safely at night. Could always move base farther north and keep exploring, too.
Oh my god, I love the combat chainsaw. I just tore through an elementary school with it. It’s so fun to use.
Whats going on right now in everyones apocalypse they are not telling you about…

Kyla Sands has finally left behind her naturalist roots and spent the last two days (day 6 & 7 of spring, year 2) loading all her crap onto a solar car and reducing the crafting pile by making stuff she proceeded to stuff in the car too.
Time to fire up the solar motorbike and scout a bit south - hopefully there’s a roundabout way which does not include things with laser dots 
LOL that just sounds so wrong… ![]()
Gotta love this game…

O_O
How could you CARRY ALL THE THINGS with only a backpack?! That seems completely out of character.
i left most of my stuff in car, my drugs and weapons easy fit into 40 volume backpack and i met hulk before meting loot
Spring, day 9. Kyla Sands has finally made a cargo carrier, which caused some unloading and loading stuff into the vehicle. Solar car now being packed, she fires up the like new gas car she found a long time ago to practice driving.
Time to leave this city behind!
Sparrow Gryphon (yes, RNG name), woke up in a LMOE shelter one morning like from a coma and came to the realization, someone stole nearly all the useful supplies and food, and left. Days are spent consulting the few books, Hunting/forgaging outside for and breaking down beds and furniture to craft things to leave. Gathering the two working guns with bullets, and making a nail rifle. She goes to leave.
Only to find one of the thieves returned, and has a flame thrower! She makes him into a human voodoo doll.
Upon gather up some of the missing supplies from where the thief dropped them she continued to leave. To find the door blocked by the accomplice. One partial voodoo doll, with dented skull, and a bloody aluminum bat later. She takes the rest of the supplies and heads out South west.
Avoids the Fema camp, and suckers another survivor to run over there as a distraction, while she runs past it.
Coming into the edge of a town she checked houses for some supplies and notices a lot of other human survivors around. Checking cars to see if they work over the next day she’s in shock.
1 nearly perfect RV. 1 working Road Roller. 3 working trucks. 1 working van, and 2 solar vehicles.
Sadly no garage in sight or a way to do any welding. She drives them all to behind the gunsmithing shop she claimed as home.
Tomorrow… time to get a welder!

I had the same thing happened. I’m a ranged character. Nothing get’s close to me in melee, least not in days, and I got the exact same message on “You have succumbed to infection”. I watch my health, nothing was wrong, no bites, no lowered dex etc. I don’t think I’d been hit in like 4-5 days or more.
I took some antibiotics already, but I haven’t seen any other mention of one.
Meanwhile in my modding escapades…

Yes, the awful spelling is intentional. Right proper orky that way.
