In-game .22 LR can't pierce even my reinforced trenchcoat with long underwear.  I remember some NPC just plinking away at me while my poor man's armour somehow being bulletproof.

NANOMACHINES SON

It would be a nice excuse if not for the fact that there are actual nanomachines that repair your body in CDDA.

Yeah, the reality bubble does make proper differentiation a bit tough to achieve.  May be able to fix that once the aiming PR finally lands.

And since we're in prerelease freeze, that shouldn't be too much longer.

But he has to steal it. I didn't get to find out, since I blew him away the second I realized he was taking things from my inventory, but I don't know if they have some kind of priority, or how much they take, or if it's completely random. He grabbed one of the guns that I was hauling around in my bags first, and while I did have a stick of dynamite, I'd rather not risk lighting that thing and praying he takes it from me, and then praying I can run far enough to not die as well.

I don't know the fuse on dynamite, but assuming we have something with a long enough fuse, don't items get damaged in an explosion? What if they take it last, and the explosion's big enough to destroy all your stuff. Since if you're carrying guns, you're probably also carrying ammo. Possibly a lot of it. Could be interesting to find out if they would let you light an explosive in front of them, and then steal it from you though. But, I think using explosives is riskier than using a high-caliber gun.

More to the point, you can hear a lit/primed explosive if it's in your inventory.  So NPCs mugging you should make a point not to steal them.

In case anyone plays defense mode, we recently worked out some wonky code (net nerfage to starting cash, but wev).  Lotsa little fixes going in.

Playing windows terminal, game keeps crashing in combat so often it's impossible to play. Both current edition and release candidate.

Was a bug with armor damage-checking.  Should be fixed now.

"Lies close to skin and layers easily" means it's the UNDER layer, so works OK with gear on other layers.

Found a mansion with only five zombies in it. Odd layout though, there's like four game rooms with pool tables, two pools, and about four dining rooms, and a large central library. And NO bedrooms.

But I'm playing as a bookworm build (Fast Reader, Good Memory, 12 Int) so it's pretty much awesome. Built a stone fireplace and slowly using up one of the dining tables as firewood, got plenty of food stocked away, the pools are potable, and there's no zombies nearby so I'm good to re-enact "The Last Man on Earth" 'cept I don't need no stinkin' glasses.

Corporate conference center or something.  Or maybe all the bedrooms were on the second story.

Hm...

Active internal furnace?  Either way it's a bug, but different handling is probably warranted.

LCS is Hollywood.  DDA tries for quasi-realism, at least.

Currently bursting tries to go for the full RoF and shifts targets from one to another if you kill the first one with rounds left in the burst.  I think it *does* waste ammo if you run out of targets, though.

Unfortunately we don't really have a good way of simulating burst-limited v. full-auto fire; hence, the M249's oversized burst.  By rights the M4 should have a three-shot burst rather than the 10-rd it currently uses, what with the BURST setting IRL and all, but having code to accommodate more than one 3-burst in six seconds becomes an issue.

Feel free to PR an upgrade, though.
