What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

[Random_dragon]

I hate love it when an NPC gives me the ammo instead of their lighter. Yeah, thanks. Sure, I can totally use random ammo when I rarely have access to a weapon that uses it. Not like a lighter would be more useful because most professions are less prepared than I am in reality. o3o

[Azrad]

For now, instead of choosing to almost always start in a spot that’s pretty much next to the city, I think I’ll start off with a quiet life in a cabin… until the point I get bored and decide to hole up in an abandoned storefront.

I also thought it’d be kinda interesting to set up fort on the sewers, but it might be a bit boring…

[Random_dragon]

Dooo iiit. Turn those sewers into a proper dorf fort.

[Azrad]

Hmm, I just might. Need to find a spot where the sewer fish won’t bother me. It’ll take me ages to find a pump station, and then most likely irridated wanderers will bother me lots.

[Random_dragon]

Alternatively, use the sewers as a moat for the real dorf fort. Might take a lot of mining though. o3o

[Valpo]

Dooo iiit. Turn those sewers into a proper dorf fort.

Don t mention that.

Fortress mode or the abillity to manage a group of survivors somehow in cata would be just to much win.
I d rather not dwell on the thought as long as it s far faaar FAAAR away in the future(or worse never will happen)

[Random_dragon]

Fine. I’ll settle for a Kobold Kamp. ;A;

EDIT: Started a ninja character this time and…oh fuck me, chicken walker right outside my shelter.

EDIT 2. Problem solved. There was a military barricade next to it, and working cargo truck. Ran the stupid thing over. Stealthy? No. Fun? Yes.

[Azrad]

So much for being sewer king. For a while, luring zombies to the sewer worked… up until a point that a hulk went down. I reckon I could have fought him, if not for the other zombies who followed.

[Noodles_of_Doom]

I made the unfortunate mistake of attempting to use a spraycan flamethrower on a shocker zombie behind a chain link fence. I guess the fence had like a repulsion field or something, because apparently my stream of flaming gasoline ended up backfiring into my face and killing me while the shocker remained unharmed… oops.

Y.et A.nother S.tupid D.eath

[Zireael]

And hell yes it’s cruel, but the only time I had a tank drone near my spawn, the starter NPC took it out with a shotgun. o3o

Did the NPC survive?

[Random_dragon]

Did the NPC survive?

Surprisingly, he did. o3o

[Azrad]

New game, cleared out an apartment complex in the middle of nowhere. On the bright side, it’s safe enough. On the other hand, it’s pretty far out so it’s kinda boring. For now, it’ll be a temporary base until I find a city. A big city. I’ll clear out a neighborhood and turn that into my base.

For now, I’ve begun to do the horrors of organization. Instead of using one of the rooms in the apartment, I went with using the main corridor instead to put in all my stuff.

[Sarrak]

I want to tell you a story. A short story about one mad girl…

It all began when she caught a flu. Or maybe when she got bitten and infection spread? One thing for sure - whole house got lit on fire when she tried to relax in the shower.

Flaming shower? Of course, she did not like that at all. In three seconds she was already outside, shards of window glass flying everywhere.

When she got onto the other side of the building, a smoking, horrifyingly screaming man stumbled through the doors. She 'tsk’ed and lit a cigarette stolen from a nearby car from his smoldering remains.

Did he drop any good loot? Of corse he did. Pants, boots and full lighter. Even sharp katana, but not that it really matters.

Somewhat less nude now - just to say, it was January and temperature outside was outright freezing - this mad girl kicked open the doors of the neighborhood house. Empty shelves, empty everything. And very, very friendly zombified grizzly bear standing outside.

She run like hell. From this horror? Oh no. For the car. She sat there, pushed gas until controls nearly broke - and jammed it into the bear, leaving just a horrifying, pulped mass.

Satisfied with a small victory, she rode onwards. A minute or so - and a screaming human run from the bushes just as she tried to not crash into some wreckage.

“Eater of the dead! Aaaargh!!! Help me!!!”

Really? She had no problem with endangered monsters eating humans. But, in the afterthought, she still run over the unappetizing mass of limbs after it finished its meal.

“Eather of the dead! Aaaah!!!”

Damn. Really? A colony of these monstrosities? While another survivor was eaten alive, she looted a corpse of his preceder. Some decent clothes to cover up and even motorbike helm!

Same as ever, she tried to run over the second monster. Alas, the car got battered to the point where crashing into monster actually got the monster inside the car! The girl would have none of it. Trying to “shake” the car a bit helped, but she got seasick (and car - destroyed) and had to finish it with her own hands. And katana.

tl;dr
Scenario Really Bad Day, shower victim; so much FUN happened in a very small part of the world (5x3 tiles)
No skills, mostly stats, ninjutsu and a few speed-unrelated
Got some great loot at the very start (world was created with 0.01 item spawn, so getting katana is damn awesome)
Run over several small zombified animals and zombear
Two jabberwock questgivers at the same spot, followed by monsters. Second appeared the moment I run over first jabberwock.
Car got pretty ruined (and second NPC did no damage to the monster), so trying to kill it only got it inside, though heavily mutilated
Shaking the car around while it’s trying to skin my char
"Damn it all, I kill it with katana!"

First personal kill. With zero skills.

[Azrad]

Yet another seemingly endless spawning horde alongside a street filled with alarms ruin my day yet again. Blobs and spitters clogging up the street… at this point I reckon I should just turn wander spawn off and just increase the monster spawn rate instead.

[Random_dragon]

Blobs are always annoying, even in a mundane static spawn game.

Nothing moves The Blob. owo

[secretfire]

I was so annoyed I couldn’t read inside a house with the windows shut I spawned an atomic nightlight to cheat, breaking my anti-cheating rules. My justification for this is that I am also in a house with the windows shut and can read just fine, so my character shouldn’t be mysteriously devoid of light in the middle of the day.

[stk2008]

Yeah I find this

You cant see to read/craft a little odd.

[Azrad]

The hammer is surprisingly effective as an early game weapon, especially once a level or two on the needed skills comes. Trying to find a boxing gym since I decided not to go get krav maga or ninjutsu, and for now I’m sticking to the hammer.

[Zireael]

The cabin and mansion turned out to be right next to each other, so I noped out of there. Waiting for dusk to come because there’s an office tower at the edge of the city beyond the bridge.

No skills to speak of save for throwing, some containers for water (thank RNG for all those sweet river tiles), some farm food and a semi I can store stuff in but do nothing else with because it a) is out of fuel and b) runs on diesel. Too far away from the solar car I found on day 1 or my farm and besides there’s an angry moose somewhere along the way. Oh, and I found out that arrows are useless without fletching (I need fletching even for game arrows) so…

[Litppunk]

yea I always go with a “throwing” character. Tends to work real well, been doing a bunch of “sheltered” starts but think I’m going back to a more normal start now, as I always seem to start in the deep woods with very little, or nothing nearby, not sure if thats part of the "shelters start but deep woods with antlered horror being one of the most common for low level survivor to run across is rather annoying.
