The food cools off WAY too fast when taking it out of the oven. I watched it go from +2 happiness to -3 happiness within seconds of taking it out of the oven. It may be this particular food item, but it seems to be losing its Hot bonus way too fast.

Do you wish we had real voiceover for the in-game radio broadcasts? Me too! All the interesting stuff happens in the first week while we're busy fighting for our lives, but who has time to sit down and read it?
 
To help you out, I'm recording one of the most lore-heavy channels for you to listen to while you play. LBMW has 38 broadcasts, and I'm using a voice modulator to record them all for you myself.
 
I've got the first few finished and I'm releasing a new one every week. Here's the first to get you started. Hope you enjoy!
 

Been awhile since I've read that book and I had forgotten that part. That's probably the main reason that they keep saying no to zombie camo like what they do on TWD.

I see that vehicles are getting close to being released. The variety of vehicles is pretty impressive, but I'm really hoping for the possibility of an RV being included. Their a staple in almost any zombie genre, being a mobile home so to speak.
 
What I'm hoping to see if/when they are implemented is something similar to how buildings work atm. An outside door (or maybe even the windows) allowing you access into the car, along with the standard vehicle entry there is currently. I would expect only a few tiles worth of space, but having access to a bed, power supply, light, and a tiny amount of storage space and counters to place small objects such as radios, mini-fridges, or very small tvs. They could even have sinks, but I imagine the water would get used up in them fairly quickly.
 
Great job on the current vehicles, hopefully this is something that can be implemented soon. Customization is always good

Curious, are water tiles going to be addressed soon. Haven't played the latest vehicle builds yet, but its going to be kinda silly if you simply "wreck" by colliding with them. Also, hoping that some ATV will be added to make it worthwhile to seek out vehicles for players who don't like living in the city (specifically things like four wheelers).

Just curious, but does this apply to all items that you are able to remove? Currently you can go over max capacity when removing sheets, sheet ropes, batteries, etc.

God, do I hate that ability . . . 

Please tell me this is going into the main game. If it does, you made winter survival that much more challenging since chefs can't stockpile tons and tons of rotten food to eat over the winter.
 
Curious about the compost bins. Can they be exploited now to "preserve" rotten food if they leave the bin full of compost and store their rotten food in it? Or will the compost bin eventually delete the rotten food even if its full of compost?

There's a new Sandbox option under the World category, "Rotten-Food Removal".  This is the number of days after food becomes rotten that it is removed from the world.  It won't remove rotten food from Compost bins.

You know what'd solve this, Kim? A cutting torch.

We'll just cut these cars in half and weld them to other cars.
 

I know the heart's in the right place, the concept just doesn't work logically for these specific vehicles.
 
The reason why these vehicles shouldn't have a swappable trunk is the same reason why the pickup truck doesn't.

@RobertJohnson I appreciate the kind words but that is not what I am trying to say.
 
I can survive with the current system, but the whole trunk replacement system is just extremely inconsistent and doesn't make logical sense.
 
I'd be willing to say "I'm fine with this" to just having trunk swaps be between compatible vehicles, but the implication that you are going to take the trunk compartment from a sedan and use it in a station wagon is the equivalent of removing space from the station wagon and stuffing in a container for basically no reason, while removing the rest of the space from the wagon.
 
I'm with you on not making it overly complex but the level of detail here is highly inconsistent, trunk customization should only be for applicable vehicles, not cars that don't use separate compartments at all. Vehicles where the trunk should be a set space and not removable/swappable: Van, Stepvan, Pickup (and pickup with the shell), Station wagon). Everything else, yeah, okay, but not those vehicles, as it is illogical, counterproductive and removes individuality from those specific vehicles.
 
The logic issue is that these vehicles do not have separate compartments for storage, therefore can't be removed and can't be replaced. This isn't even that it's weird to car guys, it just doesn't make sense overall.
 
 

Trunks
Vehicles should have a  realistic, fixed "cargo space" that fits their real-life counterpart. Space should only be gained by removing the trunk lid or doors, assuming PZ is going to represent vertical space (fridges in trunks) Space should only be lost in a rear-end collision. The chance to lose items should only occur if the floor has rotted out or the cargo is not secure and a collision occurs We're really just talking about "repairing" a flawed trunk (welding torch + sheet metal, sheet metal + screws, tarp, hammer, or wood)  to plug gaps or remove a dent. Past a certain point, it would not be fixable. Replacing a trunk on a unibody car isn't possible. The only vehicle that'd let you swap the rear would be pickup trucks, but not in the way depicted in-game (e.g. adding a camper unit or a flat-bed), since most have a ridgid frame.  
 
Tires
What are these supposed to represent?
Vintage: balloon, ply tire? Standard/modern: radial? Or is it supposed to be ...
consumer enthusiast / racing / performance light commercial heavy-duty The first two  would only apply to cars. The third would be for small vans (including mail vans and delivery vans) and larger pickup trucks. The fourth would be for things like the firetruck or a large delivery truck.
 
A few nice mechanic skills would be ...
Checking a tire's pressure with a pressure gauge Removing the tire and plugging leaks Removing the inner-tube (if applicable) and replacing it) Removing the rim from a tire Placing a tire on a rim
Batteries
I take it "heavy duty" is just marketing? I don't know why you couldn't take the 12v battery out of a light-commercial van and install it in a sedan, but for some reason you can't.
 
Batteries come in two flavors:
wet cell batteries: these require the addition of electrolyte and water periodically, or they "dry out." They generate hydrogen gas while in use. Sealed batteries: these require little maintenance and will only vent  hydrogen gas under extreme duress, or leak only when rushed There's not really much you can do with them aside from ... 
changing the battery cleaning the battery terminal checking the alternator output checking the voltage charging a battery (trickle or speed charging with a 120v appliance) jump starting a battery with another vehicle Moving the battery to a different location Adding additional battery(s) to run accessories  
Brakes
 
There's two kinds of brakes:
Drum (common in all four wheels right up to the 80s) DIsk (common in the front of more modern, mid 80s cars) They can probably be swapped by changing the hub for most cars.
 
Light-commercial brakes and truck brakes can't be swapped to cars, I imagine.
 
Check brake fluid Bleed brake lines Replace brake pads (or shoes) Remove emergency brake (common to have them seize, needing welder to remove them) Seats
 
Removing seats should increase storage capacity for that area

Fancier seats should simply give the player more comfort or protection in a collision. They could simply be called "bucket," "racing," and "captain's"
 
Windshield
 
Reinstalling windshields is probably not practical for most players, including mechanics, excepting some much older cars. 
 
Missing
No exhaust system? These cars are noisy.
 
Crappier cars should have crappy mufflers that need to be swapped. Not to mention removing the catalytic converter to increase engine performance (at the expense of back pressure in diesel vehicles).
 
A faulty exhaust can be deadly, as can be a poorly altered one.
 
Fuel injectors? Carburetors? Distributors (or electornic distributors)? Spark plugs? Oil pans? Oil changes? Radiators (the most likely thing to be broken in a collision with a zombie)? If we're going with the 70s - 90s line of cars, then having a nice mix of tech would be fun. Suspension?

Zombie Virus on Skin =/= Zombie Virus in open, bleeding, wound. That has been the whole point of why I think bloody zombie clothes that are used as bandages by the player who is careless should have consequences.

Agree.
 
It'd be a nice bit of detail to have a chance of infection from bloody (zombified) bandages. It simply makes sense that wrapping an open wound in the blood of a zombie would transmit the disease.

Are you sure that isn't F? I'll admit I'm not super familiar with pressure cookers, but a quick google search shows them topping out at 250ºF, which is quite a bit different than 280ºC. Autoclaves don't even normally heat that high.
