Enable Blazemod to get more military vehicles. Tanks often have a few hundred rounds of .50 BMG or .308 loaded to the turrets.

I like the dirty clothes, because it took a head-rule I was already following (no clothes off of zombies, or off if human corpses unless they were full || or had belonged to other survivor NPCs) and made it an actual game mechanic.

I like the concept too, but the implementation has some problems that make it not worth it for me. Even though it's supposedly meant to be more realistic, everything about it feels gamey. Dirtiness is a binary toggle that zombie clothes always have and other clothes never do. The only way to get rid of it is to find a semi-rare resource. The whole existence of the washboard feels like an ugly hack to get past needing to implement a proper interface for any of this. In an ideal world, I would be able to get some of the slime off my clothes just by scrubbing them in the river. Or boil them over a fire to get them reasonably clean without needing soap. It should be easier to clean items made entirely out of plastic and similar materials. If an item is fireproof, I should be able to burn it clean. And items would get dirtier over time, even when not worn by a dead person. And filthy items would be displayed using something less ugly than rendering the name in dark brown. I can't immerse myself in this.

I don't think it's really about finding a compromise between realism and fun, because right now, much of the game isn't either. Like the skill grind.

And no idea why. My guess is simply it's more work to add uncrafts. Or maybe they think it's somehow good for gameplay, which it isn't.

I'm pretty sure it's just because nobody's gotten around to adding them. That's usually the case when it comes to things like these.
You want to fix it, just fix it. Add the recipes and make a pull request.

Has this been in the game for a while? Whose idea was it why did Kevin think it was a good idea to make the player wash clothes? Does it provide a happiness bonus or something?

The pull request was opened by Night-Pryanik on April 25th, 2016. It's gone through a couple iterations since then. The main gameplay effect is that it's more difficult to obtain cloth, since everything the zombies drop is dirty, and you need rare soap to clean it. I think it's a neat idea, but the implementation is pretty bad.
You can disable the feature when generating the world, though. No reason to bother with it if you don't want to.

I looked at the documentation, and it looks like you can't do that using XNA, since XNA is shitty and doesn't use callbacks (and it doesn't store an event history either). XNA only allows you to ask which physical keys are currently pressed, nothing else. So yeah, if you want to do something with the individual keystrokes (with the generated Unicode symbols) then you might want to stop using XNA.

Oh, well. I think I'll just work around it for now.

The tileset repository on the wiki has a lot more of them, in various sizes, if you need more.

This thread is six months old, but since I didn't see a newer one in my quick skim of the first few forum pages, I guess I'll resurrect this one. As we all know, art is timeless.



This doesn't look quite like the reference, but I think it looks basically human. I'm going to count it as a success.
If you see anything specific that's wrong with it, please do let me know.
