I am not a good enough marksman to take down a turret with a pneumatic assault rifle so I went back to the old FN-FAL and its dwindling supply of bullets.
Day 101 of the neverending winter and I walk outside… and it’s not snowing. Zero wind, a balmy 32F, and it’s glorious. Newly-installed solar panels gleam in the wan sun in between the towering equipment of the defunct powerstation and I remember voting for a politician who’d claimed he’d do that, years ago, but he took the money from the green lobby and continued supporting fossil fuels. He’s probably shambling around eating brains right now, ruining still more lives. He’d make a good spitter. The image of him being pulled down by a horde of his former constituents, deaf to his manipulative words as they rip him apart makes me smile.
It’s a beautiful day and Spring is on the way, and shithead politicians are all dead. I celebrate with box wine and a few chapters of Kerouac next to the fire. But there are heating elements to be collected and I need plastic bags so I can vacuum-pack this giant spider meat before it goes bad. I don my balaclava, scarf, and ballistic mask before going out. Some of the houses I’ll be looting later have mirrors, and I’ve shot at my reflection too many times. The thought of those reptilian eyes staring out from my face makes me shudder.
Everything can be solved with incendiary grenades and lighters. Landmine hit me again but I took out the raider leader. 5~ bandits died in the fire. The giant slug I fought on the way through the swamp was more of a problem.
I forgot to send this at 11pm.
This has been sitting on the post reply box for a loong time.
Current Cataclysm adventures have been waylaid by Dwarf Fortress adventures, playing a dragon slaying bandits with nothing but the power of facenoms. o3o
been fucking around with debug mode, mostly building pic related. Somehow had no way to use the turrets tho. And couldnt crush a wreckage or push a beetle out of the way, or rip a fence with 4 7.5L diesel V8s. Vehicles are really weak when slow.

Does it use treads. Also if you are using blaze’s mod then most of the turrets work by you being on the tile with empty hands and pressing f.[/quote]
Yeah does.
Is Blaze’s mod Vehicle Additions?

Yes.
Raided a couple electronic stores for more batteries. No sign of vehicle welding rig thus far. but between duct tape and scavenged batteries I have enough to keep the RV roadworthy enough that it can keep running stuff over and still function. Saving up materials too for more molotvs to raid further into the city and find more stores. mainly libraries, garages and electronic stores to get parts and books I need to start expanding my vehicles abilities. Number 1 priority being to get vehicle welding rig and forge and chem set installed to my RV base. Ammo running low. But still got some 00 shot for the Remington for brutes and hulks. Current hobo is doing well. 25/91 of spring and counting. Plenty of nearby triffids whenever I need food.
Did some serious damage, too. Head went from a full five bars to two, and pain 72. Other body parts may have been damaged, but they were already damaged before that. Army helmet got damaged as well.
Discovered that the sword artifact I found had a third effect when activated. Aside from the fire, it also can turn zombies friendly. In the long scheme of things, that effect ain’t too useful since the zombies will soon die due to fire, but still pretty nice.
And it’s winter. My first winter, after many playthroughs where I get tired and start over a new game midway through a 91 day summer. Using tilesets, and at first I thought the dirt tiles were glitched until I realized that it was snow.
I killed my second enemy with a garage door after learning painfully its destructive power compared to my dinky self-bow. Sure, my torso was almost crushed, my arms broken, etc., but I laughed, mad with power. Come to me, police bot. Come to father.
Enjoy having an enemy randomly knocked back after the door closes, assuming it survives. They can and will get bumped next to you, and hitting the switch uses enough time afterward that they’ll get a free hit in. :V
Why do I need that much wax? I don’t know, but I wanted all of it nonetheless. My only regret is not knowing a way to demolish the wax floor in hope of getting more wax.
