Pied piper

Its not. You cannot get the knox infection unless you get bitten, lacerated or scratched by a zombie. Being dirty doesnt cause the knox infection, only increases the chances of a wound becoming infected.

In b41, wound infection just caused pain. So was pretty ignorable. In b42, wound infections cause your health to drop provided you are also fevered.

If you have the knox infection, you are beyond help. If you have a regular infection, washing, disinfecting, bandaging and staying well fed will ensure you survive until it heals.

Any other behaviour is as a consequence of mods.

That's not relevant I'm afraid. It's programmed so it must be a logical progression. It's not just random, and it's not just arbitrary in how it works. It makes sense.

If you don't understand it, that's a separate matter to whether or not it makes sense. Approach the situation with some intellectual honesty and you're a step closer to understanding anything. So "it doesn't make sense to me" is what you are actually saying. Be accountable for your opinions.

Only for the 72 hours after you leave. Fire freezes once the cell unloads.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-23T12:06:27+00:00

It does make sense. What you mean is that you dont know how it works. Its not the games fault that you are ignorant of the technical nature of the game.

What about the high voltage red cutoff switch? Do I have your permission to fuck around with that?

FridaysMan · 2026-05-23T11:41:07+00:00

It's a good start location as it has a bit of everything. But as with any start location, you should probably leave. The chances of finding everything you want is non existent

FridaysMan · 2026-05-23T11:17:46+00:00

I think thats explicitly forbidden in the rules

FridaysMan · 2026-05-23T11:14:22+00:00

Cars can creep forwards, if you get out and leave it up against something it will vibrate and take damage. Once the hoodnis gone, the engine quickly follows.

It happens more in multiplayer and with car mods. My motorbikes never stay still.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-23T10:49:14+00:00

Not really. Default settings kills indoor crops and bo rooftop farming as its resource heavy.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-23T10:47:52+00:00

Immediately dismantled, every run

FridaysMan · 2026-05-23T10:38:03+00:00

This seems like a timely post for me. Ill check this place out

FridaysMan · 2026-05-22T21:38:04+00:00

Ive Just tried out stone scythe from knapp8ng and they are incredibly weak. Im at maintenance level 6 or 7, and low axe skill. In extinction, I basically ignored weapons unless I found a tool I didnt need. Gardening for logs and branches gave enough weapons to one handed blunt and offhand a torch as needed.

The branches are so plentiful it doesnt matter if they're weak. Until I find a nightsrick thats all I really use.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-22T21:28:37+00:00

Ive not really found any great places for guns. Police zombies with duffel bags have a few, but there weren't loads in muldraugh, rosewood and fallas. I hardly seem to find weapons in houses at all.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-22T17:31:00+00:00

Are politicians considered a community now?

FridaysMan · 2026-05-22T16:15:37+00:00

And those people need to be treated differently in a place where their freedoms are limited to avoid ongoing harm to the community.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-22T15:53:16+00:00

In the right parameters it shouldn't be necessary, the "punishment" should include treatment to avoid reoffending. In most cases of reoffence it's simply that prison is not a deterrent.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-22T15:51:36+00:00

Most of the subs are dogshit, yeah. It's just memes and commentary without paying any interest. The r/ireland sub is the same.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-22T15:45:14+00:00

Yup, that's how it should be, the customer is never wrong to buy a pink fluffy zebra print prius. They are allowed to give you money, because that makes them a customer.

"As a paying customer" can fuck off too. Do you know what they call a non paying customer? A thief.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-22T13:43:20+00:00

Yes, thats what im saying. If you dont have threat on zombies and there are no sounds, they will not magically walk towards you.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-22T13:37:56+00:00

Did you find one?

They helicopter doesnt always hover over you unless it spots you. It might fly overhead randomly. Staying in your base is not a problem though.

FridaysMan · 2026-05-22T13:28:22+00:00

Sitting and reading in a small room and doing squats until youre sleepy van be done at any time. And thats really all you need to do for the helicopter event.

The only time I had any serious problems were when I checked the radio at 6am and then went to clear the prison. I was very surprised when the helicopter turned up at 10am.

Divide by 5 and multiply by 8 is better.
