Still waiting for the day I can finally give everything to this game and learn it top to bottom. This and Brogue should be in any major roguelike list.

How do I trade with a NPC ?
So, step one, you acquire preferably something to deliver your payment from a distance (Bow, gun, whatever) or if you want to risk getting a bad trade, you could try delivering it directly.
You then deliver your payment (Arrows, bullets, high-energy photons) to the NPC. If you went for a riskier trade then payment will be with your fists or whatever you are carrying.
You proceed with the trade. If you got a bad deal the NPC will deliver more payment sooner and will get a much better deal (all of your things), but if you conducted a trade that worked out well for you you can pick through the NPC's possessions at your whims.

Or you can hit C and talk with them.  I think you have to have just finished a quest for them or have them following you to trade though.

Knowing Cataclysm, I would assume that finding a giant wasp in the driver's seat of a car in a parking lot, with his pal chilling by the trunk door outside, would be normal. The same would go for said wasp in the driver's seat flying through the wall and stinging my face, chasing me down with his buddy and killing me. I just found a military spawn, too! >:(

How the hell do I survive more than a day? Just keep at it until the RNG stops laughing at me?

Is there a way to start with gear?

There's a debug menu, which may be turned off in the data folder. It can spawn anything.

I figured something out-if you blow up the gas things in the tutorial, you can wait for 12 hours and the building will burn down, giving you free access to the outside world with a good weapon-but hungry from the waiting.

Of course, I then ended up Carnivorous, Nearsighted, and Savage Voiced from smoke inhalation, but hey, I'm actually successfully killing things now.

EDIT: How do you cook meat? I've got a Hot Plate with 7 charges and meat, but it won't let me.

Do I need cooking skill, or something to cook the meat in?

Need a pot or frying pan.  It took me forever to figure that out as well.

You need a pot or a frying pan, and you use the & key to open the crafting menu.  Not sure if 7 charges is enough, haven't used a hotplate in forever.  Having a fire in an adjacent square works for cooking.

Yeah. I remember looting several houses before finding a frying pan... in a hardware store. I take it people took their cookware with them when the fled/died?

By the way, a good way to make a fire, is to drop a log, stand next to it, and 'a'pply a lighter on the log. Usually lasts long enough to cook about 3-4 pieces of meat, unless its raining.

Can you make rotten milk into cheese, and if so how?
