I searched, could not find a good source for this topic. What are the ranges for the different sounds in SA? Everything from popping soda to the Mosin firing. I assume the volume of the item affects the ranges. If anyone has any insight on the audio distances, please post them or direct me to a location that has them listed.

Lately I have noticed zombies are more likely to use an open door or fence opening if nearby than clip though walls. If the door is closed or you are on an upper floor of a building they are more likely to clip. Also some buildings are more likely to have wall clipping than others.

Soaked shirts can not be torn in to rags for bandaging, at least that was the way it was in Experimental before it was moved to stable. Also batteries would become ruined if stored in a wet pocket.

When you see something out of place, especially on the coast highway, it is time to head for the hills and woods. Better yet don't use the coast roads when at all possible, unless you like being a target for greifers.

Would be nice when items are added to the changelog list, they were suffixed with either the date, version number or both. This would allow us to identify the recent changes quickly.

Alcohol tincture will also clean rags making them pristine, if they were made from less than pristine tops and shirts.

Which game build did you use for this video?

Small towns and cities, I scout first, then try to aggro all the zeds. Sometimes I have to punch them to follow me. Then I lead them out of town and lose line of sight on them by going behind a hill or large wall. Occasionally, I turn around, running circles around the horde, so they stay bunched up. The town should now be mostly zombie free and I can loot easier. Once I have an axe, I just kill them using sneaking up behind or using dodge and swing techniques. Or lead them out if there are too many, killing as they spread out in a line. Large cities, I just try to avoid those places until better equipped.

Seen Mosin rifles multiple times in the music buildings, 2 on the shipwreck, once in a police station, few in random houses. Even found one in Electro. Some of them are partially clipped in the floor but still can be picked up. This was mostly on the experimental server, which the patch should be moved to stable very soon.
