IT’S HAPPENING

The Vorpal Chicken goes snicker-snack!

Noo, This is the story of Lassie and her human as they survive in a zombie’s world.

Random_dragon · 2016-02-03T21:58:03.000Z

Until she inevitably contracts Space Rabies.

I started a new survivor and pumped up his stats a bit higher than necessary since I’m sick of dying 5 minutes in for an hour. So far I’ve just been raiding houses for food and medical supplies. Also found a grow op in a basement, wish I found as much weed IRL as in Cata.

^ sounds like my current survivor. Has 8/10/14/10 stats and about half the good perks “balanced out” by High matabolism, high thirst, slow reader, and Truth Teller, as well as leaving Skill Rust to Int. That way I have to get skilled enough to binge CBM’s including Memory and UPS to be able to “tier up” to the mid-late game. Got a nice start, but now I am slowly cranking up the spawn rates and evolution, as well as roaming NPC while droping item spawn.

I have looted halfish of the town I am in as well as a Public Works. Once I have a more funcitonal vehichle up I am going to loot the Mansion nearby and go mobile. Finish clearing the town and move south to the 2nd town I can see the start of from my venture to the public works. Just got my longbow and 50 wooden arrows. Have got a cart with a dirty tank and battery +350 vol space that I am using for all my looting/ stealing of vehichle batteries and tanks. Tanto w/ ankle sheath (should that even be a thing?) Taurus .38 (10 shot) w/ fast draw holster and about 120 rounds.

Just had a scare when I went to pick-up a riot controll bot heap in an attmempt to dissassemble it and got mobbed by two shady zombies for several turns before I could try to get some distance. Continued to get mauled only to realize I was succesfully weilding the dam bot. Dropped it and managed to get them lodged on a corner for 1 on 1 at a time fight. Was amazed how little damage I took despite getting two nasty bites that needed disinfecting. Will continue to crank dificulty, especially once I have the almost funcitonal RV up and runnning (only missing controls) using parts from various almost working wrecks around the town including a solar car, armoured van and a police cruiser.

Out of curiosity what is the smallest acceptable value for item spawn rate? I might go for a more pure survival +all the enemies when I get more “late game” but sometimes I wonder if RNG loves me too much when I am not busy getting myself killed.

Artyom177 · 2016-02-04T15:07:38.000Z

I always imagine RNG to be AM from “I have no mouth and I must scream”.

Because RNG only knows HATE for my characters.

Though my characters become crazy raptor/wolf/insect creatures and not just a big fleshy blob like Ted.

Unlike Ted though; my characters die horrible, agonizing deaths by either electrocution, acid, or fire.

Litppunk · 2016-02-04T15:28:06.000Z

Found a functioning Road roller, will combine it with RV. Lost bow today and wondered around the edges of where I have been exploring slicing through zombies with my tanto looking for it. No luck so far… where did I drop that dam thing? Probably where I tried to pickup the Riot bot.
Edit: dropped it when pouring one gas tank into another inside my base. I was sooooo worried it was out in the rain cold and alone… Im going to have to destroy more stuff till I feel better.

Arek_PL · 2016-02-04T16:32:03.000Z

after long time i had so bad situation that i had to use my colt, after 7 shoots of course magazine was empty so i tried to reload but it says that its loaded with empty magazine and i cant reload

Litppunk · 2016-02-04T16:34:53.000Z

(U)nload the gun [pulling the mag out]
then ®eload the mag [filling the mag with ammo]
then ®eload the gun [putting the now loaded clip back in the gun]

pisskop · 2016-02-04T16:46:24.000Z

Yea, the solution for the apocolypse pooping out guns onto every streetcorner was not to nerf the frequency of guns, but to add magizines and nerf the frequency of those.

Because no zombie that drops a gun ever had a magizine for it. They were all for show.

Arek_PL · 2016-02-04T16:57:53.000Z

maybe they have empty magazines? my gun didnt had magazines inside but i have one

pisskop · 2016-02-04T20:27:28.000Z

Finally saw the Thriller. OMG cyclone of madness.

On the bright side, it completely eliminated non-dancer spawns in the area. So once I realized that I took to the houses. Yup, unfortunately it was in some kind of overgrown suburbia, but I did find a wasp house. I kited the wasps from the house into the growing horde, where they were happy to join the dance. Except for one wasp. I used a machine gun I found to blast so many little holes into that asshole that the house collasped on me. With a battered torso I climbed out and resumed my looting. The basement of the house was a sparsely stocked gun storage. I came out with an M1, a machine gun, and a glock. Not too bad, considering Im driving a half destroyed security van and wearing suboptimal gear. I do have plenty of junk food and drinks, as I looted a vending machine or 3.

pisskop · 2016-02-04T23:25:18.000Z

Begining to think not killing the thriller was mistake. I went to night raid a maintainance nearby, and some dancers spawned. Without the thiller around (i.e. out of the reality bubble) they seemed content to smash everything. Still doing their 1-5 damage and healing at an alarming rate, of course.

This attracts the hordes. The hordes are now regular zombies, because the thriller is out of the bubble. This leads to a sad Fusco.

After hanging out at my local waste dump for a day or so, I cracked it open to find a military personell carrier. It had gas and an engine, so I lit it up and reversed my way out of the metal cargo bay doors. Ive swapped over some of my looted supplies and now head out to find either a welder or a book to teach me how do make one.

Stupid hulk dancers.

= = = = =

Got away and found a humvee. The storage increase alone makes it worthwhile, althougth the cargo carrier is easier to build off of.

TheDancers are now clear across a large city I hope this isnt a bug.

The hordes in this latest version have been noteably more active and annoying.

Litppunk · 2016-02-05T17:04:05.000Z

Survivor was doing great. Learned the speed of hulk and dodged around him shooting arrows. Then got overconfident and let him smash me through a wall thinking my cart would get in the way, instead he stumbled diagonally and ruined my plans, thus my trip through the wall. I didn’t take TOO much damage and let him work his way into the furniture store he had smashed me through. Then ran out the back, shooting arrows all the way, then used wall to keep sight-line a none. Up to the north shot him through the window some before running back to the NW corner he had smashed me through to grab my Hulk deterrent cart and keep it between us… but apparently I was slower than hulk now. And death. First hulk death… will be more cautious in the future.

Dragging vehicles slows you down now.

We’ve waited for this moment since like the birth of shopping carts.

Arek_PL · 2016-02-05T20:33:32.000Z

so no longer 2 tile long cargo carierr cart?

iceball3 · 2016-02-05T22:33:51.000Z

[quote=“Arek_PL, post:11098, topic:47”]so no longer 2 tile long cargo carierr cart?[/quote]You still can, but there’s limits. A trunk will probably suffice.

Sheer_Bliss · 2016-02-06T07:27:18.000Z

First encounter with a zombie hulk today, ran like a bitch till he caught up with me and belted me across the street. Managed to flee back to my house and hid in the basement till I healed up. Apparently 8 dodge can’t dodge everything.
