Does killing zombies decrase their population? I mean, if people kill enough of them, will  they stop spawning? Should the dog be not so aggresive? He dies before I can help him fighting zombies.
BTW What has just happened here?

Zombies are very tough now. It takes several hits with a baseball bat to kill one.

Yes, but their population number is in the thousands. I don't think it'll stop ALL zombies, but just the hoard that's occupying the town your in.

Now the game is much harder, despite shops aren't looted yet. I could kill some zombies with a spear without taking damage, but now it is impossilbe :P

Deleting saves upon load is really not a good idea with that lot of crashing.

I'm pretty sure Whales intended it so people would have to opt to avoid Zombies rather than confront them most of the time, instead of ramboing through it all. It's a survival game, after all.

Yeah but that's the beginning wthout all the special zombies and stuff.
Why doesn't purifier remove the bad traits?IIRC it did that before.
FFFFUUUUUU a NPC started rampaging with a shotgun which caused zomb invasion, then got stucked in an infinite loop.

If you get stuck in an NPC infinite loop, press the tilde "~" key to disable debug messages.

QuinnR should also add my quick launch guide and the compiling guide to the first post.

Ran into my own corpse that got looted by another player today...

Also digging pits everywhere and making safe houses like a boss.

Gun stores are mostly useless now, since in nearly all cases the ammo is gone :I

Any idea when fire will start illuminating stuff and cook stuff?

I find it sort of strange I have to find a hotplate to cook and a flashlight to read by even when I'm right next to a blazing fire. :P

Also, I must totally resist the urge to offer to add some stuff and help with some parts of the game... I have my own project I need to finish, damn it, I shouldn't even be playing this...

First find a shovel then (a)ctivate it,then choose where you want to dig(you can make the pits deeper by digging in the same square.

I would also like to thank whales fo making NPCs brains explode!
