Yeah, I found that page.
The problem is, I don't see any zombies. All I see is terrain and flowers. And the occasional cow/sheep.
Do I just need to keep looking? What am I looking for? How do I get the different types of blocks? I found some by hitting the sheep (or whatever they are) but the same thing didn't seem to work on trees or terrain.
Gah. I do enjoy the freedom of the game. But I need to do something soon or I just lose interest and quit.
- Groxx 16y agoPlaying... infdev? or alpha? I think only Alpha has enemies. Or whatever the free weekend played. edit: With only exploration I didn't get any real interest. Personally, I'll probably get hooked when larger mobs come out, and when you start having to defend during the night from mobs which damage your fortress. Otherwise your investment is always secure, and there's no real threat that can't be solved by boxing yourself in and getting a sandwich.

- Groxx 16y agoAnd no mobs at night (edit: single player?)? Not sure, there might be a glitch, or you've got an old version. It's pretty easy to get killed the first night. Another possibility is that you're too high up. They seem to cluster in the valleys, the "mountains" sometimes almost empty.
- endlessvoid94 16y agoWait, so I need to kill enemies to obtain something besides flowers, meet? I just need a HINT. I have no idea what to do! I've seen one day and one night and I am in the same place. Am I looking for something?
- Groxx 16y agoGeneral starting point: punch some tree trunks to get wood, press "i" to open your inventory, and turn it into planks => wood. Build yourself a sword and some basic tools (arrangement of items matters), and start digging around in the stone areas / exploring to find caves. Digging totally randomly is unlikely to be too productive, so find caves to start. Find stone blocks with black specks, and use your pick to get coal - combine with sticks to get torches. Enemies spawn at night anywhere it's dark, so lighting caves is important to your safety. Beyond there, it's mostly an exploration / building / sandbox game. It's not an appealing game model for everyone, though, so it may just be that it doesn't click for you (though give it a bit of time).
- endlessvoid94 16y agoI'm starting to think I'm running a buggy version, because punching trees does NOTHING. Unless i have to punch it 10000 times, in which case, fuck this.
- endlessvoid94 16y agoWow, it was NOT obvious that I needed to hold down the mouse button. I have a macbook so I just kept clicking. Doh!
- Groxx 16y agoSorry! I should've thought of that; that one took me a minute too.
- wlievens 16y agoSame here, on the MacBook. I was actually afraid that the repetitive mad clicking would wake the entire appartment. And then I realize you have to keep it pressed.
- Groxx 16y agoShould probably clarify, as that came out partially wrong (a bit tired at that point). It took me a minute to figure out because I found out entirely by accident when I noticed sand going through multiple stages during a particularly disinterested click. He really needs to make a tutorial before it gets released :) I suppose it's not surprising in a quickly-changing alpha build, however.
- daychilde 16y agoGo to options and change "difficulty" from "peaceful" to something else.
