[QUOTE=Robust Retard;42932253]If the devs got anything right, it was making improvised weaponry encouraged.
I once started a game with only a few small cramped houses; all three of them had clothes, food, water, between both some match boxes and a fuck ton of cigarettes but no weapons.
Time was running short and the area was crawling with undead, so I had to find some sort of weapon to fight them off... then it dawned on me.
The two houses had an ungodly amount of silverware.
[B]BEWARE UNDEAD OF ALL TYPES, FOR I HAVE A LIFE TIME SUPPLY OF CIGARETTES AND ENOUGH SPOONS (which for some reason are bladed weapons) TO LIBERATE THE ENTIRE WORLD![/B][/QUOTE]
An update on this, my character survived up until he was cramped into a small building during a scavenging trip. He died not by the undead, but on his own terms when realizing he had finally run out of cigarettes.
"Here lies Martin Brown, he died drinking bleach as a ghetto cyanide."

In real life, it'd only be a bad idea if you were in a heavily polluted city. You'd be getting all these carcinogens that were diluted into the raindrop as it fell through the smog.
In PZ, nah. It's the ambrosia of the gods.
Hmmm... holing up in a church wasn't as awesome as I thought it would be, though I did enjoy walking in to see the whole place just having blood... just everywhere.
It really put the "mass" in "massacre".
Never mind this post, why didn't I think of putting water inside the pot?
is there any mods to make the vision cones more like, casual, or is there some lines in the code i can fuck with?
i'm getting super huge headaches every time i play this game because i can't figure out if there's a door, wall, or window in the foreground

You'd be fine for a long time. Especially given that all of the carcinogens that were going into the rain? They stop when most everyone is dead. Cars, power plants, refineries, etc etc.
Keeping the water in the barrels from contamination would be considerably more difficult.
I was making a grilled cheese sandwich and my entire kitchen burnt down.
A fucking grilled cheese sandwich.
[editline]22nd November 2013[/editline]
And in burning down my entire kitchen I lost every single piece of food I'd scavanged along with every single bit of medicide. And that's a lot, I looted the hospital. Gosh damn.
And I got scratched, so recovering from an illness, now in a burn down house. Just gonna scavange my weapons and hope for the best.
Speaking of dying, I got zombified. And I could have sworn I disabled transmissions. Fuck.
[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;42936693]I'm about to start a game now, from scratch, what should I do to start off, I have no idea what to do, I just roam around and pick stuff up and sleep haha, I need motivation to play it a while[/QUOTE]
Anyone?
What mods do you all play with?
Everyone else carries bleach at all times, just in case, right? Also, is it possible to commit suicide with a firearm? I usually just down the bleach and jump out a window or two.

Step 1) Rip off your shirt.
Step 2) Call upon your Nordic ancestors to gain the strength of a thousand Viking warriors.
Step 3) Get your bags, and sort out your inventory by bag. I like having one bag for cooking supplies, one for food and books, then having your main inventory mostly clear in case you quickly grab some stuff without desire to stay long.
Step 4) Take out the map ( [url]http://pzmap.crash-override.net/[/url] ), then decide where you'll want to end up. I like choosing the farm at the corner with the well as my goal.
Step 5) Sneak as much as you can, the less ways you give the undead your position the higher your chances of survival will be.
Step 6) In case the undead do see you, use your previously gained VIKING WARRIOR STRENGTH to completely destroy the horrible enemies of man.
Step 7) Eat perishables, keep cans of food untouched.
Step 8) Make sure you pick up farming supplies when you see it! If you must choose between honorable bleach suicide, death by zombie bite, dying in your sleep, or dying by pathetic management of resources, make sure the way you die is the first one. Valhalla awaits the brave who give no quarter or aid to the enemy.
Step 9) Don't use guns:
A. Because not taking the fight to the enemy like a true warrior is worthy of dishonor.
B. Because you might attract zombies.
Step 10) Make sure you get a journal or keep a book or two in your inventory, boredom is just as deadly as anything else if you let it drop your morale.
Step 11) Assuming you get to your destination, try to cover up the windows of your safe houses with sheets on the second floor and boards on the first floor if you can afford to. If you only have a first floor then board everything except one window pointing to a escape route, put a sheet on that one.
Step 12) At this point, the game should be more like Harvest Moon but more deadly. So start fukken farming.
Step 13) Die by stubbing your toe.
And there you have it! The perfect PZ strategy for winning.

pfft, real men play like this:
step 1: find weapon
step 2: kill zombies, don't stop
step 3: find house and sleep
step 4: kill more zombies
step 5: sleep
step 6: repeat above
step 7: eventually die

Is there a mod to bury or burn bodies?
[QUOTE=avincent;42962542]Is there a mod to bury or burn bodies?[/QUOTE]
I'd like to be able to bleach bodies. I'd also like to be able to use bleach to clean up bloodstains on the ground.
[QUOTE=Blanketspace;42969478]I'd like to be able to bleach bodies. I'd also like to be able to use bleach to clean up bloodstains on the ground.[/QUOTE]
Actually, I believe there is such a mod. I might find it on the forums later today if my laziness doesn't get to me first.
Also, the more I hear about these devs the more I'm beginning to hate them.

Why would you ever want to bleach a dead body?
[QUOTE=Leintharien;42971116]Why would you ever want to bleach a dead body?[/QUOTE]
Because, bleach is good at killing everything, and dead bodies rotting with zombie virus stuff floating about simply isn't healthy.
am I the only one who plays marco polo with sprinters?
Eyesight and hearing on piss poor, but here comes the fucking sprinters if you fart in an acoustic environment.
[QUOTE=Robust Retard;42971695]Because, bleach is good at killing everything, and dead bodies rotting with zombie virus stuff floating about simply isn't healthy.[/QUOTE]
Sprinkling bleach over a dead body wouldn't make too much of a difference. If you dumped it in some tub full of bleach, I suppose that could get it, provided it reaches every bit of the thing, but it is very wasteful.
Even then, it is way simpler to just drag the body into the forest or something and then scrub the floors/walls afterward. I would never use farmland that has had some diseased person or animal go through it.
I can safely say that planning to survive in this game is exactly like DF, the way you play is that you plan to lose in the most spectacularly ridiculous way possible.
For evidence, please see "The Chosen Spoon Viking, A Story of Tenacity and Bleach".
My most recent run is also evidence for this, I named by character "SERBIAN HERO" and RPed that he was hallucinating that the zombies were Turks. The rules of the play through was that I had to stand and fight whenever the "Turks" (Undead) surrounded "Serbia" (The safe house). I also made my character clumsy, claiming that it only made sense that he would hold contempt for the enemy to the point of announcing his presence everywhere he went.
Funny though, this is the most successful run I've ever done. As I'm writing this, my guy live in the farm area at the corner of the map as I defend the homeland against... [B]THEM[/B].

So why would you bleach them? It would sanitize the skin, but it would also eat away the skin and make it decompose faster. You're making a bigger mess the more you try to deal with it, over just making some mass grave in a forest or in some back alley.
burn the corpses and use the remains as fertilizer. Basically nothing survives fire and you don't have to drag them far!
Yeah exactly. I would rather just burn the corpses instead of bleaching them anyways.
I suppose you could use the ashes as a fertilizer, so long as you use it in moderation.
I began my story in a medium-sized blue house, wearing no shirt. My chest was [I]very [/I]manly.
For the bigger part, I didn't seem to experience much difficulty gathering the resources necessary for survival - in fact in my very own home I found a gun and ammunition.
On day 2 I was surrounded by zombies while scavenging the nearby medical store. The moment I had opened the window and entered the premises, the alarm sounded. I quickly scavaneged everything I could as I saw the undead gathering outside. My gun saved me that day. I got away with only two scratches, on my torso and left foot.
However, I had to spend the next couple of days at home, recovering from the damages.
After 7 days I noticed my fridge had finally given up. I decided I can't stay in my safe haven anymore and packed everything food-ways that didn't have an expiration date, all my medications and my most important tool so far: A pistol, now with 60 bullets.
And so I began my long journey to the farm.
It took me 2 days to get there. Much running was made. A lot of dodging Zeds, and hiding in construction yards for the night.
And so here I am. My name is Shawn Wood - and this is the story of how I almost died once, but managed to escape fairly well and found my way to probably the worst place on earth because there are literally no resources here and I'm pretty much fucked THANKS A LOT
