The "Compass Bearing" game...

[Wrinkled Sack 15]

Here's a fun little game I play, keeps my navigation skills sharp.

 

I pick a spot on the other side of the map I want to go (ie. from NEAF to NWAF), look at a map, set a compass bearing, double click ALT and W (jam a pen top in my keyboard) and RUN FOREST RUN! I can almost hit a target building sometimes...

 

WHEEEEEEEEE!!!

Lol, nice. :P

Haha I use a pen too....much to cheap to use coins...those I keep hidden in the couch!

Yeah, but this won't work once they actually get zombie spawning working.

 

Much of the challenge in navigating in the mod was avoiding zombie infested areas and various other hotspots.

Or a real stamina system.

I imagine that the future for damaged compasses is false readings...

That does make sense. Though I'd say a badly damaged one would start to be off by approx 20~degrees (That's massive, trust me) and ruined would give off 40+ degrees off bearing and swerve a lot

Ruined shouldn't work. But the needle on a compass should always face magnetic north. Maybe they could make it get stuck sometimes but it doesn't make sense that it would be (consistently) 20-40° off.
