There's an achievemet to die 500 times though, that's a whole lot of dying

Yep. I have been playing since Alpha 9, do internal experimental testing, have well over 5000 hours of gameplay, and Leroy Jenkings things quite a bit. Even with that I'm still at 288/500.

They are annoying. But I do like how, like real vultures, they don’t attack you when you’re healthy, instead biding their time until they see something injured/dying. As far as strategy, I had to learn to not waste arrows trying to shoot them out of the sky. They’re not bad when you have a gun though.

To be fair, suicide in any survival game is going against intended mechanics.

Well... it’s always an option, since you don’t have to keep everything in your backpack. You can consolidate loot in containers (existing or player-made) until you finish the quest and can leave.

Intended? No. But, Some people are just that impatient. If you don't mind paying the penalty exp in return for the quick trip home, and choose to play without your inventory dropping when you die, then that's a decision you can make. It's not necessarily right, Nor necessarily wrong; But it's definitely not 'intended'.

If you have full health, and aren't in the wasteland, they will not attack you in the wild. POI
and wasteland spawners are different though.

They are stupidly easy to kill though, and are a nice source of feathers. Just be aware of your surroundings at all times.

This. The story is that you pissed off the Duke of Navezgane, and he had his men knock ya for a loop and leave you for dead to the zombies. Only, You woke up before the zombies found you and now have the chance to survive and likely eventually get 'revenge' on the duke for what he did. Of this story, only small clues are in the game currently, like the note mentioned by Teresa.

So yes, Logically, You would have had clothes, weapons, etc. And also logically, You got yourself robbed. :P

Originally posted by CoinSpin: I don't recall, doesn't reading the book or recipe still give you an XP bump? That alone could be a reason you are still able to consume items you already know - and even more so if playing single player, you'd be giving up a lot of potential XP gain and accumulating a bunch of clutter if you couldn't consume those books you already know.

Isn't it just like 50 points though? I'd rather sell them and have the dukes.

Originally posted by Sythalin: Screamers spawn based on the heat map activity. If they're spawning frequently, that means you have a lot of forges, cement mixers, cooking fires, torches, etc.

it was outside the main base, using an auger, though.

I think augers (and chainsaws) are the noisiest or ‘hottest’ tools in the game with regard to the heat/activity map. I’m not surprised if extended auger use alone is enough to bring in the screamers.

If you want to play around with it now, VorphX has profiles for it.

VR support is planned Post-release.

Originally posted by Seftak: Agreed. This game is a tower defense, horde, rpg, survival. The devs never sold it as a heavy simulation survivor.

Why there's no options to turn off food and water when it's a drag?

It's a real pain to make farm plots, I've killed hundreds of zombies last night and have 13 rotten meat to show for it.

It's also kinda stupid to add meat into a garden because any animal products are a menace to gardens in r...
