SLIME PIT DETECTED
>>496015394It's a fork, and it has Arcana/Magical Nights, pretty sure the is a Magyclysm mod as well, but you will get spells just from the former two. BN has less autistic grind than DDA, which tries to be 'realistic'.Regardless, I will just throw out whatever comes to mind and you will get it eventually if you bash your head against the wall enough.>Tiles likes chairs, tables, window ledges that prompt 'Moving across this tile is slow' are places you should never fight on because they slow you down, conversely it's where you want to lead zombies to stand >Encumbrance is a killer because it slows you down and lowers hit chance, among other things, check what your current malae are with Shift + @. It's worth having it in exchange for good protection, but don't go over 30 if you can>Pain reduces stats, low stamina reduces speed. Don't fight in pain or when out of stamina. For former you can chug painkillers, for latter you can wait till you are full. Shift + \ opens up wait menu(Shift + ' is movement, I made a mistake earlier)>For armor look at what it protects(head, eyes, mouth, torso, arms, hands, legs, feet), coverage and protection. Coverage tells you your odds of attack being reduced by protection value, so aim for 100% coverage and as much protection for reasonable encumbrance. Special note is armour that only protects the head, since there is no head encumbrance penalty just stack that as high as you can, care it doesn't cover eyes/mouth.>Some weapons like spears can attack over two tiles>You can generally outrun a zombie while, well, running. Use it to kite zombies. Remember to select run when you try to do it and to stop running once you are finished since it drains stamina.>You can throw off zombies easily in forests since you are faster while running and break line of sight, you can attempt something similar by running through multiple houses, care to not end up in a bigger mess by doing so. They can smell you so careful when you relax
>>496017386I was definitely ignoring armor more than I should have been. Thanks for the tips, time to start getting used to applying them.

>>496015394>Armour has layers, namely close to skin, normal and outer. There are some exceptions but this is generally the case. Wearing two pieces that both occupy the same slot ramps up encumbrance quickly unless one of the pieces explicitly says it doesn't conflict, so go for one of each.>By the same notion this is the easiest way to get a lot of protection quickly for low encumbrance, something along the lines of 12 protection makes you immune to basic zombies>You can move some furniture around with Shift + G if your strength is high enough, maving things like a bookcase that prevent line of sight lets you close off rooms with all the perks that gives you>You can haul things on the tile below you with \ key, this is how you drag things you cannot carry with you back to the base. The more things you drag and the heavier they are the more time it takes>/ key let's you sort out items in the 9 squares around you and in your inventory, useful for many things but can be vital when your entrance to a base is, for example, a window, since you cannot haul items through them. Or loading things into a car>Dodge and melee skills, as well as specific damage type skills are vital to melee combat. They increase as you use them, so don't shy away from fighting monsters that can't hurt you>If a monster has a red skull icon next to it once you kill it then it means it will revive after some time, Shift + S let's you pulp them so they don't revive. It's an annoying mechanic most of the time but be sure to do it.>I prefer upstairs compared to basements for a first base due to free light you can use for reading, but setting up fires is not hard if you know what you are doing>At some point you will try to organize your base, Shift + Y is a zone manager. Once you set up your zones, along with a dumping zone, all you need to do once you haul your loot into the base is press Shift + O and it will put everything in it's proper place>>496017941No problem, this will help a bit.

I finally beat Cataclysm and got the victory screen.
>>496035089what's the room look like, what are the indicators? I've found a couple of permanent portal rooms and one temporary portal room with a resonance cascade button that blows everything up, but I don't think they were the finale room
>>496036780You can communicate with a being during a portal storm, then you ascend from reality your game ends and it literally says victory. No room just standing in the center of the storm.Its the same as dying other than a different ending screen.
>>496037528is that the DDA end screen? I've never seen a portal storm in BN
>>496037635Yeah, obviously I'm going to play the one with the psionic powers that's just common sense.
>>496038036okay well I'm going to play the one with power armor and laser rifles
>>496038142They both have that though.
>>496038330I thought DDA removed power armorwhat did DDA remove that was sci-fi

Has anyone played Shiren the Wanderer?Is it a mission-based game (where dying just sets you a little backward) or a real perma death game?
>>496046517we had a guy who played a lot of Shiren back in 2016 or sohis verdict was that it was good and it staved off the boredom for a while
>>496046625>we had a guy who played a lot of Shiren back in 2016 or solmao ok grandpa

Good spawnTriffids give water, food, wood and string that can even be crafted into ragsthe downside is you have to kill the triffids to get them, but it's reasonableTurns out that the churl starting profession in the wil (unlike the churl challenge, since everything else is disabled) doesn't start with wayfarer so I can still use carts
>>496140490yeah but you need to read everything in churlspeakare triffids still full of mutagenic toxins?

>You can't harvest the plants you use gain from Burgeoningwhat is even the point
So is it possible to learn to read as a churl or is it permanent? Seems way too debilitating considering you can max out every skill via books quite easily with few good city spawns.
Started a game as a full crab just to mess around, ended up being suffocated by a mob. Didn't even know that was a thing.
I can sustain myself on one triffid a day if I do a full butchery with the rope made out of the triffid's stalksClean and simple living
how do you suffocate a crab?
>>496150818I wanted to take off my subject suit before they destroyed it because what the fuck else is going to fit on a crab, and the next thing you know I'm dying. Tried running but died from 3 guys still grabbing me. Took no regular damage at all.

>>496156348seven crackers that are each 280 calories?
A real mre cracker is 47 grams and 180 Calories, so given how much those crackers weigh in the game for some reason they should be worth way more Calories.
