Character suddenly died

[Jay]

No idea what happened. My character was sleeping. All of a sudden, I woke up in the middle of the night with terminal damage and just dropped dead. My health was good before going to bed. Food and water levels fine. What gives?

[bulbatrs]

sneaky zombie? it should show you the corpse after death.

[Greb]

My best guess is you didn't secure a pillow and place it on your bed using the (relatively) new placement system, causing your character to experience a deadly combination of pillow envy and neck pain that just ended their life right then and there.

Otherwise no clue. Never experienced anything like this. Did you sleep next to a running generator while also carrying too much heavy stuff and being ill? Did you sleep near corpses that could have steadily ticked up your sickness until you died? Did you have High Thirst and sleep for like 12 hours while also incredibly hot, causing you to die of thirst? Any chance you might have been infected from a scratch etc? Did you consume twelve sleeping pills, or six and some alcohol? About all I can think of that could have killed you like that.

Really wish this game would tell you your cause of death upon expiring, lol.

[Korhal]

Posioned food? (Any mods there?)
Alcohol and sleeping tablets?

[Jay]

No sleeping tablets. Don't think the food was poisoned. Load was not heavy. House was secure, so no way a zombie got in. Had 1 beer before bed is all. It makes no sense.

[Jay]

I respawned on map and went to the house. He's just dead. no reanimation. this sucks.

If it was the result of the zombie infection, he would have turned into a zombie.

[^Reddl]

maybe he did but didnt tell.

There can be a lot of causes. With just this much we can only make guesses.

you need to pay attention to the character. What he eats, drinks, was he injured (even if he is fully bandaged and on full health, a normal infection can develop into fever while you are sleeping and you die from it.) And many other things.

My worst kind of death was accidentally drinking bleach...was just a tiny bit but still died:) Misclick:D (Did not have enough lemon grass.)

That's why I don't use bleach bottles to store my water in. :P

Also this happened to my character on version 40:) So was a while ago, but i learned to avoid MANY MANY things with which a misclick can kill ya.
