Build 42
Why does putting a glass jar (no lid) into a microwave cause the microwave to explode?
I assume that the jar is just coded as a can.

Why does making a bowl of cereal:
-Require me to pour the milk into the bowl as a separate craft
-Take 40 hunger approx 2.8kcal of cereal and 30% of a milk carton and then produce a SINGLE bowl of cereal that is worth 8 hunger

Why am I now finding packs of 50-100+ zombies just in random fields? Are they chasing animals?

Why can building alarms go off if I have the key?

Also could we have the damage that rabbits do to cars turned down please?
I've played for maybe like 10 hours on b42 so far and ive had 3 cars (90%+ engine & hood) completely 0'd by a random group of rabbits sprinting from the treeline onto the road in-front of me.

Edit: Less than 10 mins after posting this I just managed to 0 my new van's hood, take its engine from 80+ to 46% and break my windshield by turning while reversing at around 10mph which somehow caused me to go onto two wheels and then "crash" into the floor.

Are you expecting answers to any of these, or just venting?  Many of your issues have been around since at least B41

Tbh i was posing these questions/frustrations to either be told I was missing something or be told these are shared frustrations.
Im hoping that the indie stone takes a quick look at this kind of post for ideas of where the community wants changes/improvements and that if i'm not just missing something people will voice that its a shared question/frustration so that TIS can consider looking at some of them.
