What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

I gave birth to three friendly dermatik larvae, now they scutter arround my home being all cute. I should probably kill them but I don’t have the heart to do so.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-08T04:09:36.000Z

Sic them on nobles NPCs then? o3o

Also ow FUCK this cold, my armor’s too heavy to put up with so much strength debuffing. I knew I should’ve traded my great helm for a gas mask sooner.

NPCs seem really fast so far as I hunt them down. I’m on an open field, I check my map and there’s an NPC on a forest. I go after him, and next thing I know he’s managed to cross all over the other side of the forest.

Also, having a high zombie spawn rate seems to eliminate the need to craft survivor gear. If I manage to find a basement, there’s enough survivor zombies that’ll provide me with nearly all the survivor gear I need.

Yeah, if you find a survivor/smoker basement with spawn set to x20, there will be 100+ zombies down there, and half or more of them will be survivor zombies… yeah, you get LOTS of good stuff.

For some reason, I seem to find that combo most often in weapons basements… the combination makes it feel like winning the lottery or something.

Now, if I could just find a UPS CBM and a power armor helmet to go with the 3 suits of power armor I’ve found…

Also, just to be sure… there’s no way to make a UPS CBM is there? And WHY BLOODY NOT?

Random_dragon · 2015-05-08T22:35:21.000Z

Something tell me I’ll never repeat my 70-80 black widow basement kill streak thanks to the stamina update. Anyone done !!SCIENCE!! on how well the Indefatigable trait works?

You also need a hauling frame, otherwise it’s impossible to get more than 10 volume. (Poor PA troopers can’t even carry ammo)

BTW While you can’t make an internal UPS, you can make a power armor interface CBM.

Yeah, I made one of those… but you still have to have a UPS to power the suit, right?

And yeah, I’ve got 2 hauling frames - and I just found a helmet! yay!

The_Lone_Badger · 2015-05-09T05:26:28.000Z

The power armour interface is used to run PA using your bionic power. It’s like a specialised internal UPS (probably more efficient).

I desperately need a frame myself. I’ve found somewhere very dangerous to explore and I don’t want to go in there in my street clothes.

Azrad · 2015-05-09T14:58:01.000Z

So, almost died again. Was exploring a mansion, when all of the sudden the game starts slowing down. So somehow I first think, hrm my computer must be doing its computer-slowing updates again. I’m deep in the middle of the mansion, and then I notice smoke. I think, huh, never saw a smoker zombie in a mansion before.

Then I see the fire, and I’m pretty much oh crap. I run towards the nearest window, smash through it and hope the roof doesn’t collapse, and escape just in time before the fire eats through the mansion.

I am guessing the CVD machine in some labs doesn’t actually do anything yet. Despite what that one material that allows you to make ceramics says.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-09T16:05:30.000Z

Hmm, my chainmail is gonna have to be replaced with some hardier soon, once I have the fabrication skill to make better stuff. Might step it up to light plate armor, the mod I’ve been working on buffed it to not be inferior to mail. owo

EDIT: OW fuck. Feral predators and their bloody impale attack, hurt me right through a kite shield, chainmail, AND gambeson.

Xenosandbox · 2015-05-09T17:08:23.000Z

Ran down a highway playing a wearable sax a violin and a harmonica with a holder which though netted me 25 positive moral did not save me from the hulk that crushed me like a tin can when I rounded a corner °~° its odd that I could play all those at once just because they’re wearable except for the violin

Random_dragon · 2015-05-09T17:10:04.000Z

Clearly the hulk did not appreciate your one-man-band act. ಠ_ಠ

DeWolf · 2015-05-09T17:11:57.000Z

You know what in my entirety of playing this game I have NEVER came across a highway.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-09T17:14:24.000Z

All I’ve seen are roads that seem no different from normal streets, yeah.

We need an interstate terrain, clearly. o3o

They work, but only have one use at the moment.

If you have sufficient skills and materials, you can use it to on several types of bladed weapons to diamond-coat their edges, enhancing cutting ability.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-09T17:27:24.000Z

Also, has the update to Mundane Zombies gone through yet? Please tell me that feral predators and corrosive zombies aren’t gonna keep swamping my world when I use that mod. ;w;

PropaneSoup · 2015-05-09T18:05:31.000Z

Runners and Predators should be gone, and I just submitted a PR to remove the new acid ones as well. Should be just a day or two before it’ll be in.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-09T18:10:11.000Z

Yay. I don’t mind the lowest levels like feral runners or acidic zombies though.

Those are also mostly plausible compared to the upgraded versions.

I thought you could do that on your own.
