What brand of english is that normal? o3o

You are not spelling it right, it’s Survivor Emcampment™.

So be careful about using energy weapon in spider basements…fire spreads quickly.

Malkeus · 2016-02-22T05:05:28.000Z

Fun Fact: When spider eggs hatch, the baby can appear on the surface. And shooting them with laser weapons sets fire to webs in the basement below. And apparently fire can spread across z-levels…Have !!FUN!!

Caught a flu, met a flaming eye and got severe teleglow, got fungal parasite without fungicide on me, ran into a necro-hulk horde when driving home to get cure, and found a shoggoth delivered to my door by the said teleglow in a single !!FUN!! day. And not to mention that one of my NPC guards fired her flamethrower on the f-ing shoggoth in my evac shelter.
And somehow I miraculously stayed alive through all this, and this is just day 40 in the starting spring, with no mutations, martial arts and only a few CBM.

Day 23, spring.

Since my last posting, I’ve read a restaurant guide and it turned out that the northern town is just that, a town, and constant explosions from the minefield next to the cathedral are a good reason to avoid it altogether. Instead I focused on the western town. I used the forest shortcut several times, widening/straightening the path bit by bit.

At night on day 21, I tried to explore some more to the west but ran into a lot of Zs. They were busy smashing up a vehicle and I didn’t see them at first, plus some of them were shadies. Luckily for me they attacked in groups of 2-3. I only survived by applying the bandages twice as my torso got in the red. Then I looted the grocery store next to the pavement with all those Z corpses via a smashed window. Once I was reasonably sure all the Zs were dead, I smashed the corpses and hightailed it.

Day 22 was spent crafting and reading and repairing the clothes. (Sadly, I can’t do shit to repair the army jacket and the military rucksack). I now have a quarterstaff instead of the almost broken tonfa (I had two tonfas but one of them went to pieces clubbing the Zs a few days earlier). It’s now morning on day 23 and my health is practically back to full.

Zombie hordes evolved into predator/hulk hordes
I tried to drive through a city, but grappler pulled me off my vehicle and then I got pred-hulked into oblivion.
Not even the laser rifle spamming constantly from the vehicle managed to save me.

Ohgodwhat. Please tell you were on a motorcycle or something, and that they can’t yank you out of something like a tank. ;w;

You can get grabbed out of anything with reach. A door will stop it from happening, but if for some reason you dont have a physical barrier (i.e. a broken windshield or open door) this can happen.

A zumbie got into a recent car with a redlining controls and when I took off that weird effect where the unseated critters fly foreward while momentum dictates they go back happened and they destroy my controls. Their friends ate me.

Ah right. So most likely it was diagonal fuckery due to vehicle facing. And THAT is why main battle tanks have two-tile-thick side armor. :V

Is that…your starting location? Dafuq? What drunken modding shenanigans caused this? XD

If I said none, would you believe me? :v

Thats a vanilla start

Better hope you got boatmod in use. :V

What does the overmap look like in that world, pisskop?

Random_dragon · 2016-02-22T19:45:43.000Z

Yes, show us. If it’s just stick in the middle of a dinky river, ditch your clothes and swim it.

Not worse than the old exit-through-door-step-on-landmine thing.

And better than “open door, in Soviet Russia moose opens you” I suppose. X3

My new world has static NPCs, so I’ve been doing quests for them. Bringing supplies and whatnot. So I got the farm quest to go and loot some blankets, and I went and too the NPC’s advice and looted the nearby hotel. And then a horde caught me while I was inside.

AND THEY ATE MY POOR CAR

So after everything was said and done, it took me like two weeks to fix everything and gather all my loot back up again. It was quite the adventure, most notably where I took a temporary car into the nearby town for wires, broke both front wheels, welded a scooter to the front, got my wires, redlined it out of there, then coasted back to the hotel at 90mph on a broken engine. My Mycus Spores also started a fungal infestation at the hotel, which kept the straggler zombies away while I was repairing. I really wish I could turn off the random Mycus dream mutations, because Mycus Sporogenesis is the best thing since Night Vision.

Anyway, now I’m fighting some triffids and three queens are homing in on my poor Solar Roller. I hope they don’t get there because triffid queens will fuck up your ride harder than a whole horde of hulks.
