I just tried to break into a lab with dynamite.
Not even a stain on the wall.
edit:
And now i am beeing persued by a squirrel and 2 other little creatures of the forest that i do have no idea how to call in english.
Huh, that’s weird. One time I managed to break OUT of a lab with dynamite. Though I think dynamite is at the lower limit of what’ll break the doors.
I used to shoot open the doors with explosive crossbowbolts.
edit:
stop hitting yourself.
edit2:
while fleeing from squirrels i got fisted by a hulk .
luckily it was a moonlitnight so i could shoot him down from where he punched me to with my bow.
edit3:
the slendersquirrel is back.
y u chasing me D:
And I do recall the walls have been buffed so a barbarian with 14 strength and a battleaxe can’t wear through them anymore.
Which is sad, that one game it was just about my only source of rocks.
EDIT: Mine entrance. One of the buildings has…a rock. Son, we are disappoint.
EDIT 2: We have acquired Spores. Not sure whether Spores or Blossoms are better.
EDIT 3: Ahah! We have discovered that marloss trees can be harvested for mycus fruit now. Will need to test what other plants provide us with our requirements.
Good going i guess?
While running a while arround in circles in terror of the slenerdersquirrel (which i lost somewhere along the way) I ran into the source of the z hulk that fisted me previously. A huge hord duking it out vs a millitary outpost. had 2 hulks and an assortment of other stuff on me pretty fast-. Guess i am a more fun target then turrets.
Slendersquirrel? The Operator is not after your nuts. :V
I am dead now-.
Looks like the horde did ovewhelm me somehow… but thats preposterous.
I reckon that my demise has been delivered by the creepy squirrel ! It took my soul while i was fighting.
I ll get back at you … you furry abomination.
Yes, blame the squirrel because you chased it into traffic, bad pup. :V
EDIT: Now, we must plan our next move. We require the fruits of the Mycus to sustain ourselves. Near us is the Tower. It is too barren to sustain us. North of us are the Flowers. It is too hectic, too active, to be a viable source of what we need.
Southwest, and across the river, is the Bloom. Where our journey began. We shall seek the fruit there, perhaps. And if our starting NPC has not succumbed to infection, or fallen to the undead in the school, we shall bring him the salvation of the Mycus.
Prior character got surprise hulked while looting. Smashed through a wall and half a car. Even with codeine I couldn’t get away in time.
My newest hobo spawned in a shelter by a river in the middle of nowhere. There is the edge of a town across the wide river. No bridges though. Though there is a swamp in walking distance. Hunted some coyotes and boiled up some water and scavenged veggies and got my character detoxed. Used most of the rags from the shelter curtains to level tailoring and get some clothing made. Food and water sorted. Now to begin exploring for towns. I need to scavenge me some leather for better protection. The swamp proximity is pretty great too for salt. Once i get more tools I might build a shack by the swamp and nearby forest for convenience.
Oooh also found a town to the east. But there is a hulk right on the edge of town. All my nopes to that given my pretty basic gear so far. Still using damn foot rags for footwear. Oh well. Gotta find somewhere else to draw straggler zombies to so I can stab them in the face with my knifespear.
We found a road roller. Naturally the drums were all busted.
Mycus or not, some things never change.
EDIT: So tempted to explore the mine, but only 2 Mycus fruits left.
EDIT 2: Well fuck you too, mine.
EDIT 3: Tiny little crack in the tunnel wall gave a path around it. We are undeterred.
EDIT 4: One fruit left. We shall have to be quick.
Was raiding a pharmacy for some more medical supplies after I took on 4 shocker brutes in melee. The brutes were behind about 60 zombies and I ran out of bolts because everything else was between us. Stupid thing is, I have the bionic to stop electricity damage, I had it a long time, before I had a way to get power, and forgot I had it. I got jolted down to about 1/2 health from shocks. Not much else can damage me too much that isn’t a hulk/brute right now.
So the pharmacy, inside the console locked doors. gave me a Stethoscope. Woo! Now I’ve been raiding Jewelry stores and Banks. I want to see what I can make out of gold and silver. I have like 5 trunks full of gold/silver/jewelry bars, and like 100,000 of each gold/silver pieces.
This last bank safe - plasma engine. I had no idea there was such a thing. so now I need to find hydrogen fuel… Ummm okay
We have reached the bottom of the mine, and found a pedestal with a petrified eye. Single wyrms have proven little danger to us, so this shall be amusing.
EDIT: Dafuq? Where are the wyrms? No welcome wagon…
EDIT 2: When I interacted with the pedestal a second time, it sank and sprung the presumed trap. Slow on the draw there, mysterious trapmakers.
EDIT 3: Pitiful. This does not challenge us.
EDIT 4: The eye screams. It disturbs us, but the Mycus will not be deterred. The eye shall merely sound the death knell of these simple, blind creatures. They aren’t even actually pursuing us. Afraid, perhaps.
EDIT 5: No sign of any further threats on the next floor up, even though we were warned of “screeches above and around” us. Even this ceased after we left the immediate vicinity of the ramp back down.
My hobo swamp-spearman got lucky and found a hotel nestled in the edges of the swamp by a lonely stretch of road. Well a motel actually. The vending machines had plenty of delicious drinks and I was able to bag some giant frogs and a moose to skin for hides and proceeded on a 3 day jerky cooking marathon beside the swamp. Making over 100 jerky to add to my non perishable stores. Got some hides and cured some large stomachs I am filling with clean water. Going to return to the motel to pilfer anything else I can stuff in my duffel bag of worth for the shelter.
Having started in a remote-ish location definitely has its benefits. My little spit of land on the bend of a river so far has had zero hordes come even close to my location. Once I finally get a screwdriver I can look to levelling building and getting this place properly boarded up and a fireplace added. Slowly thinning out sections of the nearest town. pretty much dragging all the clothing back to repair then cut up to stockpile materials as well as levelling tailoring. And I finally have proper footwear. Fashioning myself some gauntlets and a leather helmet as well for that quasi medieval vibe. On the look for working vehicles and tools to make looting runs more time efficient. No luck so far though!
So now you’re no longer homeless? o3o
EDIT: The eye is ours.

Still a hobo. SQUATTERS RIGHTS IN THIS SHELTER! 
Also just got chased by a shocker brute through the woods. Hopefully it can go around murdering wildlife till it gets tactical moosed in the face. I’ll just butcher the resulting body pile.
Also this forest and swamp to the south is huge. No other buildings for tiles and tiles and a few windy roads otherwise surrounded by forest and swamp right up to the riverbank. Found a working pickup with no wheels. Going to need to prioritize finding more mechanics books and tools to get that running as my lootmobile.
Poor little human. You’ll always have a home with the Mycus.
And yeah, mooseses just might be a match for that thing.

We need some sort of mycus distillable spirit. Like a high end requirement tainted tornado, come to think of it.
We have no need for such indulgences.
It is bad enough that humans misuse the Scaffolding for recreational purposes, though we tolerate it because to use the Marloss spreads our spores. But Marloss brew would be an intolerable perversion. owo

But sweet tangggggg! Just a taste!
The human shall cast aside such simple addictions and join us, or become dragon food. :V
