Serrate Bloodrage

When illnesses are more defined and the dangers of stagnant water are involved it would balance the benifits of doing this I think.

Im happy with short blades (durability is the only issue). If it's Serrated, even better

Plant oil mixed with alcohol works if you find the right mix

If skull integrity was lost they simply wouldn't be able to bite. A bite doesn't just happen in the jaw, pressure is applied across the whole structure of your head and neck. Certain things can rot (skin is fine), however, as Troblin stated, loss of durability means loss of function

The skull isnt very easy to penetrate in reality, so I wouldnt mind things being tougher. When vehicles are in, Id like to see Z's who changed while wearing motorbike helmets etc. There is quite a number of ways to add a bit of complexity without going into 'special power' zombies, which I am very glad, wont be added to the game

Ibe always loved the games that give a bit of a history of your character. Fallout 2 had a bit of it that really gave a bigger feel of your avatar in the game

A nice cool shower would be an amazing way to cool off! Ive never seen snow. When I was very young I once asked my father if we could go to play in snow. He opened the freezer, scraped his hang along its roof and threw a handful of freezer ice at me....he was a bit of a bastard

I thoroughly agree with you that a torniquet applied to a limb for initial control of catastophic haemorrhage is the best course of action. There is figures showing that it IS the best thing to do, based off of the use of the CAT. I will mention though that there is also significant numbers of surgical limb removal from people applying makeshift torniquet's

A combine dressing is a cotton pad that is used to control haemorrhage. The military version is often called a 'shell dressing' (contains no actual shells). The most common shell dressing used today is called the Israeli Battle Dressing, which is by far, superior to anything that has come before it. Im moving houses at the moment, however, once Im settled in Ill endeavour to make a short video to show their use/application. Atleast this hotel has free wifi

I ask you all to pretty please NEVER apply a torniquet to your neck. Anyone who offers to do that for you just wants to see you dead. Arterial haemmorhage can be controlled by a correctly applied torniquet, however, a combine should be the first thing you try. Im really enjoying peoples enthusiasm in this thread!

atleast you kept your plan simple

Its all good, we are all human and make mistakes.

Plastering a boarded window would work a blanket, pillow or cut up piece of mattress foam would go great aswell

I can see what you are saying Konrad. So a mental conditioning of not just the soldiers, but the populace in general. That way a soldier can't make a proper choice between a lawful order and an unlawful one due to political/social pressure. I wont talk about the MEAO because it is largely misunderstood and the vehemence with which people defend their perception is outside what I like to talk about. However, in my opinion, wars will continue to happen as long as there is humans. In most countries, soldiers do not make the choice to go to war or not, however, we are employed to perform that task if we are called upon to do so, by the (elected?) government/ruler. To me there is two reasons that wars happen and they are not mutually exclusive. The first is greed, plain and simple greed. The second is Revolutionary. To remove from power a ruler/ruling body which is persecuting it's people. Now you might say that fear has caused some wars, however I believe this still falls into the greed category. A perception of someone having an advantage and desiring that advantage for oneself, or at the very least, destroy the advantage so that one may advance beyond the other. Remember though, KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) The more complex your plan, the more chance it can/will fail. Apologies in advance to grammar Nazis, it's midnight here. I'm very ready for sleep. I'm sure you will happily correct any spelling errors in your own time.

So much prejudice. Why do people think the military will be their enemy? Is there some phenomenon where soldiers suddenly become aggressive against their neighbours, friends and family once an apocalypse happens that I don't know about? Am I infected with this unreasoning need to attack my fellow countrymen if there is a societal breakdown? Have I been injected with mind controlling nanites? Will they deactivate them when I discharge in a month? or are they active for life?

A floor has 50, a corpse has 8. There is currently a bug that makes things have 8 storage, however this can be quickly fixed by going to a container selecting it, the ground, then the container again in the loot window.

This actually make me pretty happy, I hope more people feel like this. It would improve my chances of moving my family unmolested (by other survivors). I don't want to ruin the illusion (because it would help me) but would you run amok if you were well armed?

Ill start by saying Im a soldier, and a father of two boys aged 10 and 5. In a zombie outbreak the 'governemt' can go Eat A Big Bag of Di-err Doritos. Im going to protect my children, not guard some water source and attack fellow Australians by some person's orders. I cant see any of the people I work with doing that either. I guess Im saying that the idea any soldier who would stick around in an environment youre describing and support it is hardly human.

Well I cant seem to delete the double post from my phone...so insead Ill chuck a quick overview of my plan here. Take my children and my wife and head inland. Once I find a safe place for them Id start doing loot runs by myself for anything we are lacking. Food, solar panels, medicines and weapons, in that order dictated by opportunity.

I found out about it on the Rimworld Forum. Probably the best outcome ever of daring to enter the dangerous off topic sub-forum. Honestly, off topic sub-forums can make you lose your mind!

My trick for clearing the trailer parks is to grab a pistol and melee weapon of choice. step 1. Clear an escape route with the melee weapon into the forrest/an area you have already cleaned out. step 2. Find a zombie at the edge of the area you want to clear and shoot it with the pistol step 3. Gather the horde and run off through your cleared route then stealth back via an alternate approach. step 4. You should now be able to clean up any left overs at your own pace and happily loot away!

URW and PZ do have a lot in common. I think it's what attracted me to this game. I think Sami Mareen is even still working on URW. Dammit, now I have to go look it up...and probably buy it again. So many hours hauling massive stones to make a cellar...

I'd love to be able to get nails from the furniture I destroy...I always seem to be short on nails. Although that could just be a pattern my brain creates to make me feel unlucky in nail collection. So yeah, +1 this. Gimme more nails plz!

I'm so excited and fearful of everything NPCs. I can see myself hunting them for supplies to tell you the truth

I think if you look into it, there is a few deaths in the World Wars from people thinking they can knock people out with their pistols but killing them instead.
