Soo many corpses ._. I don't know what to do with them all! Too bad we can't make makeshift walls out of zombie corpses, that would be awesome.

Burn them and make a wall of fire.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.

They don't stay alight for very long, so every so often I butcher them en masse and light the tainted meat on fire to cleanse the area.

There was actually a FP thread back in the day.  It mostly consisted of people complaining about the ASCII UI.  Oh haha

I just managed to get my hands on a grenade launcher, and I really like how they're implemented. The shrapnel effects are great.
Also, animal empathy is my new favorite trait because it turns bee hives in to places filled with free food and shelter. They also don't even retaliate if you kill a few of them, giving you a good opportunity to train survival and get chitin.

I always saw animal empathy as "Free food for Life", never thought to raid beehives using it.   Iiinteresting.

Two minor things.
  • Putting bayonets on SMGs: Kinda weird? They aren't exactly longarms.
  • Animal Empathy doesn't prevent some spiders from being hostile and attacking you.

Animal empathy also doesn't prevent ants from being hostile, either. I suppose that's primarily for balance reasons, though, since ant holes are a lot larger than bee hives.

What does zombie pheromone do?

Friendly zombies for a couple of turns. Might or might not be long enough to escape a hulk

Actually, if Animal Empathy works on bees, then THAT is a bug.

...and yeah, apparently giant bees have the MF_ANIMAL flag set, which makes animal empathy work on them.  Removing.  Must've accidentally put that in there at some point.

Is putting bayonets on SMGs weird?  I don't know.  Maybe?  I almost allowed players to put them on handguns, too, but then opted not to.

If it's only supposed to work on certain animals, I'd suggest rephrasing the description a bit, as it might not be clear.

As far as I know, bayonets are really only a thing you put on a long weapon, particularly a rifle. Putting one on a small weapon like a pistol or SMG is kind of weird, yeah.

Though I like the thought of watching a survivor gouge out a zombie's eyes with a bayonet attached to a pistol, it isn't all that realistic, nor SMGs.
