How NOT to survive
This will all lead to a YASD, which stands for "Yet Another Stupid Death", an acronym common in many rogue-like games, YASD is any death that died of entirely preventable causes, of oversight or just carelessness.
- Trying to take on many zombies at once without proper equipments or preparations.
- With Safemode turned off, holding down arrow keys to move quickly, and run into inescapable situations - like running into a Jabberwock.
- Eating tainted meat or raw water.
- Ignoring the dosage frequency warning on your RX12 jet injector.
- Try to combat zombies skilled in dance fighting.
- Light up a dynamite and forget to throw it.
- Not noticing land mines on the road and stepping on them. In older versions minefields did not have the signs. So you could easily step on them by accident.
- Letting your pain go too high and getting stunlocked to death
- Attacking a mi-go with a stick
- Pissing off an NPC who is wielding a gun
- Pissing off an NPC who has military grade armour, a big F-ing axe, high melee skill, or all of the above
- Pissing off an NPC who has high unarmed combat skill. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ANYTHING!!!
- Using guns too much and letting their noise attract hordes of zombies which you cannot possibly hope to defeat
- Not using diagonal movement. This makes sense for circular distances but you end up wasting time and using more resources than you need
- Getting bitten and not cauterizing/disinfecting it
- Getting infected and not take antibiotics
- Eating addictive substances all at once. You will need the rest to hold off addiction penalties (which are HUGE)
- Killing an innocent NPC to get -100 morale penalty, so welcome to no crafting for a few days including cooking food! You are screwed unless you find some serious foods, books, or tools to increase morale.
- Jumping into a fire
- Jumping into lava
- Jumping into water (without swimming skill/too much equipment)
- Jumping into acid
- Jumping into a car and have its fuel tank explode on you while running zombies over
- Running too much and not being able to fight effectively because your stamina ran out
- Turning on a flashlight in a zombie infested city AT NIGHT.
- Not picking Night Vision trait and exploring at night
- Run into a zombie hulk
- Driving a car with no seatbelt, you get damaged for impacts
- Explore a spider basement
- Become a melee character... with Flimsy, Frail, or Fragile traits
- Running out of bullets while you're cornered and not having a backup weapon in melee (including unarmed skill)
- Become deaf from building falling and not hearing anything for a few days
- Knock down a building you are in.
- Thinking you are invincible just because you have layers of kevlar plate armour, a big helmet, and tough shoes
