What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

[quote=“Thwap, post:8456, topic:47”]You know that part where you’ve played long enough that you have a survivor suit and a deathmobile that could fight godzilla and everything is seeming a little passe? Man that is a great time to go into the file and manually turn on hordes. So much carnage.

You can do this!?

I was considering that. But how do you manually turn them on like this?

Having to take the most back-assward way to recover some weapons, ammo, and 2x4s from a hatchback I crashed in the middle of nowhere. Since there’s more than one trip there and back if I went on foot, I’m taking Spare Parts (everybody’s favorite aptly-named farm tractor) and having to go aaaaall the way around this big-ass forest. ;~;

I’ve now returned to my shelter, dropped off my stuff, and rested up.
I’ve carefully picked out my gear for an expedition to the south.
I’m carrying little more than an L39 handgun with two magazines’ worth of ammunition, a wakizashi sword (a little too flashy for my taste, but it’s the best melee weapon on hand right now), some basic foodstuffs and an MRE, plus some various medical supplies (first-aid kits, bandages, and antibiotics, plus some caffeine pills.) I’ve got about 125 slots for picking up loot, so this should be fun!

I just saw NPC shooting herself and dying after being approached by moose.Her gun was powerful enough to kill moose in 6 seconds,that’s some stupidity.

I have finally won the game, behold!:


Not pictured here I also have a suit, a monocle, a fancy wrist watch, a gold bar, a silver bar, 10 bundles of money, a survivor utility belt, and a rapier.


There is nothing left for me to do in this world so I must pass on to a new world, and begin a new quest…

Not actually sure what I should do now, maybe try having a really really bad day?

Do you have a limousine and a mansion?

I have a gigantic nuclear powered vehicle that is essentially a rolling mansion/bulldozer/military outpost, does that count?

Admittedly not a very large mansion, but I do have every luxury except a swimming pool in it, including a full library and a bed that could comfortably fit nine people.

In other words, you’re living in your car like a homeless person! :o This is not how a gentleman lives.

Well, now you know what to do. Go find a swimming pool and make with the concrete! :wink:

I love fire hoses.

Oh, god.


You pull the rope…
The closed metal door hits the dog.
The dog dies!
The barn doors closed!
From the west you hear clang!

Did you name it Dogmeat? If yes, there’s your problem.

Dead again. It never fails. If I spend a few days/weeks gathering the mats and building up a good vehicle, my character is sure to die soon after. Every time.

This time I had the vehicle nearly ready and went out to find some more parts in areas I’d mostly cleared. Saw a hulk, which is usually game over since I usually go melee but this time I’d been building up bow and doing better than ever with it, and was ready. Had it nearly dead. And a tankbot nuked us both to death. Amazingly frustrating.

That is THE question.

I Start in a boarded up house.

I go to the house to my Left, Find it’s has Paper Walls in weird places inside.

That Moment when I Figure out the walls were made by giant wasps, and I see them coming after me.

R.i.p me.

I just did an epic commando raid on a bee hive and came out with multiple pieces of royal jelly, about 50 honeycombs, all the bee meat I could ever eat, and a pile of ammo.

Turns out you can use a spare magazine mod to make a double barreled flintlock weapon.

i should finaly consider going to beehive and kill bees with non lethal beanbags

I’ve enabled the sound pack and set up a world with a spawn rate of 50, NPC freq. at 100 and city size 16.

I also enabled invisible and invincible with debug and I’m really enjoying the show. The far off explosions are satisfying.

I should do that someday.

Sound pack?

The ambient sound thread over in the lab section.

Reminds me Earlier when I was playing, I heard a bunch of Explosions, and I went the direction it was coming form, to find a bank on fire.
