So I make a ham sandwich with (not fresh) bread and I wind up with a sandwich that is negative happiness and boredom. Adding fresh ingredients makes the sandwich worse (more unhappiness, more boredom). I would expect it to become more enjoyable, not less.

Were consumer-grade vacuum sealers even available in 1993? I googled for a couple minutes and a found a review that mentioned someone buying one in the "late 90s".

As far as I can tell, mandatory labeling was voted in by Congress in 1990. https://www.fooddive.com/news/the-origins-and-evolution-of-nutrition-facts-labeling/507016/

Apologies if this has been addressed before, I know i made several posts on the topic of weight traits several years ago. THE PROBLEM: Let's say I start a character with Underweight, this gives you -1 Fitness. Once you're in the game you'll notice that your character also has the Out Of Shape trait, which is -2 Fitness when rolling a character. However, as far as I can tell, starting Fitness is still where it needs to be, at 4 (5 - 1). I'm pretty sure I know what's going on here: if your Fitness is between 2 and 4, the game will show the Out Of Shape trait. Below Fitness level 2, it shows Unfit. To test this I rolled a character with Very Underweight and Out Of Shape, which when combined lower starting Fitness to 1 (5 - 4). When you get into the game, the Out Of Shape trait is replaced by Unfit. This can be terribly confusing, as a new player might not understand why this is happening. Just for fun I also tried rolling a character with Very Underweight and Unfit, which when combined give -6 (!!) fitness, as well as a stunning 20 trait points. In game the character has no fitness. I have two suggestions. One is to remove Out Of Shape/Unfit from character gen. These can be "acquired" traits that result from your current Fitness. This also prevents the player from rolling a 0 Fitness character. The various weight traits can still be purchased and impact Fitness accordingly. However, I think the better solution would be to decouple Fitness from the Out Of Shape/Unfit traits and make them permanent maluses. If I'm taking negative traits for points, then I should have to live with the consequences. For example, one cannot become un-Deaf, or quit smoking to lose the Smoker trait. With this option, Out Of Shape and Unfit are ONLY purchasable, and they do not show up if starting Fitness is below 5 (from purchasing a weight trait or otherwise). This is all moot if the current Strength/Fitness skill system and/or traits are being replaced. However, I'm pretty sure it's been this way for YEARS. Hopefully this post isn't too confusing. Thanks for your time.

This is probably my favorite thread. THANK YOU for showing us what's under the hood. Very useful info to have.

According to EG this has been fixed in vehicle and internal builds. Haven't checked the vehicle build myself.

Understood. I have submitted the Fire Officer loot report. As a bonus I have attached a screenshot of the house my Doctor started in and the entire loot in inventory. For science. I hope this data will advance our collective knowledge of starting rolls.

Do not despair; science is hard. I will submit at least one full survey.

Some other things I found with no options as far as I can see on the list: Cooking Pot, Bowl, Empty Mug, Saucepan, Poolcue, Lightbulbs, Cleaning Liquid, Soap, assorted Clothing (Vests, Skirt, Underwear, Belt and Sock), Pillow, Salt, Cold Pack, Wire. Also, having rolled a Fire Officer and then a Doctor, I think the Doctor's house is kind of shitty. On par or worse than the Fire Officer's to be perfectly honest.

Well I rolled a Fire Officer and I started in a decidedly middle class house. Compiling data now. There's no option for chips or PB on the list, I assume those are counted as canned goods?

So should I be mentioning my profession when I am presented this question? I would have just noted the quality/income level of the house tbh.

Sounds interesting. I will give it a shot since I just did the IWBUMS megatest, need to revert to main. You will get super-fresh brand-new-install data in about 30 mins. Does your quiz take into account professions? I do believe those impact where you spawn, though I am not positive.

I did not encounter any major bugs, just zombie-related lag. Spawned in Riverside. It feels rather... empty, especially in the commercial districts. There is one large two-story building that feels very WIP. Sorry I don't have coords. My SP save loaded fine, I will play around with it for a bit and report any issues in this post.
