>>506531405>lmao2dog
>>506530858>I think that's because im spending A LOT of time in the cave building and crafting so i stayed in my reality bubble for a long time and they had to spawn somewhereI also had a whole bunch of NPCs show up nearby in my game when I was setting up a base at a private resort. I didn't speak to most of them since I had a lot of monster mutations that made them a bit jumpy, and now I haven't played Cataclysm for a couple weeks.
>>506531429yeah I would not be interested in volunteering to be the first mother after the Cataclysm lolon the other hand, the wildlife doesn't seem to be having much trouble, aside from the mutations>health statusfine? "dangerous" to this character at this point in the game means "actually took damage"it means I need to pay attention instead of just mindlessly tabbing entire screens full of worthless trash and then sorting through their drops and smashing the bodies
>>506532139>yeah I would not be interested in volunteering to be the first mother after the Cataclysm lolThat's why you don't give your women a choice.
>>506531958>had a lot of monster mutations that made them a bit jumpydid you just chug mutagen or were you aiming for somethinghow did you deal with getting locked out of some of the best armor in the game?
Which is more worth playing since they did a bunch of updating: Quasimorph or Stoneshard?Don't hate me, please.
THE THING BEHIND ME WAS NOT A MANHOLE COVERIT WAS A BLOBWHAT THE FUCK
>>506531958>and now I haven't played Cataclysm for a couple weeks.Bored?>>506532139Oh i thought you were about to dieI guess you hit the point of the game where there's little to do since you're a walking death machine>>506532286Lol
>>506532845not a roguelike and not a roguelikeplay doomrl or jack off
>>506533310I'm just death machining my way through infinite hordes of chumps to try to find either:A. new maps that I haven't explored beforeB. enemies that are tough enough to make me thinkC. the rare items I need to craft the mutagens I'm looking for to see just how deadly I can make a character
I've been reading to my NPCs out loud books about marksmanship and look! She started shootingI'm so proud of her>>506533629Fair enough, have fun with that!
https://youtu.be/-13LUfagQhY?si=7IJA2eUmFAesOR7B
also getting manhandled by a zombie wrestler there in the gently falling snow was very aestheticI liked the way he punched me hard enough to damage my deathmobileunfortunately I'm too killy to bleed out from that
What were they even thinking? They didn't have proper weapons>>5065339043D Cataclysm would be kino
>>506532293Just chugged mutagen. And I had maxed out dodge, some dodge mutations and the uncanny dodge bionic, so lacking armour was usually not a serious problem.>>506533310>Bored?Yeah. Happens periodically. I'll probably be back eventually.
>>506534686>lacking armor was usually not a serious problemI'm STILL getting hit, but yeah maybe some dodge mutations would put me up from squirrelly to fucking impossible to touch
>>506533548No.
Last time we are rescuing overconfident bastards who go unprepared into FEMA campsKeisha shot her bow ONCE the entire fightThe other shotgun girls used it a few times but way too sparsely for it to be anywhere near efficientIt's Charlene, Cindy and Clyde carrying the team againRanged NPCs are really annoying. Why can't they just shoot like enemy NPCs do?>>506534686Fair enough
>Stoneshart not featured in the OPit's over

>>506531645desu ASCII is for faggots
>I'm a wandering master of martial arts>Did you seriously have to lie
>>506543772>Did you seriously have to lieI don't understand exactly what's happening, but... it worked, didn't it?
Okay so to be clear. The highest potential for an Elin build is:>solo chaos shape with 21 hands and numerous ether mutations>speed well over 500>attack 100+ times per round>can also switch to 21 shields for complete invulnerability
How does fucking a little girl even work ? It doesn't make sense, they're just too small for an adult dick. Do they even get wet ? Why are men put in jail for a "crime" that's impossible to commit ? Nothing makes sense, it's a pysop, wake up.
DCSS: where to insert lore messagesOrc:2 shops are the central strategic inflection point in the game. Therefore clearing Orc:2 is an accomplishment that should be rewarded with a lore popup marking the end of part I. Why does Orc have so much gold? Despite the rough dirt suggestive of mining, orcs are not dwarves. They are raiders, not miners, and the racist cult of Beogh only exacerbates this. Many species of delver will take satisfaction in ending the orc scourge that plundered the countryside from the security of their dungeon fortress.Lore popups can be triggered by picking up runes (or pseudo-runes if the branch lacks one). The latter may be disabled from autopickup for players uninterested in plot.The second universal inflection point is the first entrance into a ziggurat. The save should occur prior to entering, so that one may reconfigure if needed. Reaching the top of the ziggurat should be rewarded with lore revealing backstory on the Orb's dark masters, with each successive zig cycle revealing more.There is no reason for lore to remain consistent between races. The Dungeon obviously has interdimensional properties and plausibly spans worlds. This enhances replay value, encouraging exploration of all races. Lore should also vary by speed and completion to encourage different playstyles.There is currently no intrinsic reward to collecting runes, beyond the minimum required to unlock gates. This can lead to players not even bothering to pick them up, which is obviously immersion breaking. Therefore each rune should give a small permanent bonus to a stat that fits the branch theme.For example Lair should give two HP, Spider a little stealth, Orc one Strength, Elf one Int, etc.
>>506547869enjoy instantly losing to shades lmao
Is there a game like tangledeep but better?
>>506554268what is good about tangle deepI gave up when the game gave me a petI don't want to play pokemon
>>506555165I like the forest aesthetic.
>>506556462tome4 is foresty for like half the gameit looks worse thoughbeit
>>506556586Yeah, my problem with tome 4 is that at some point it stops being a roguelike and starts being a single player RPG with an MMO rotation
>>506543772How do you even read that
Thoughts on the DCSS Beogh rework?
Umimyaaaa!
Any 40k-like roguelikes out there?
>>506564719DoomRL and AlienRL
>>506564845What if I also want space magic?
>>506564719CBN has 40k mods
What the FUCK does this girl like for gifts?So far I've tried flowers, food, alcohol, scrolls, tomes, gear, gems, ores, potions, just about everything I can think of and she doesn't seem to care for anything.
>>506569508Wait for her to fall asleep or give her a sleeping pill, then just sit around and listen to her rambling. You'll learn her favourites that way.
>>506549183>The second universal inflection point is the first entrance into a ziggurat.Were ziggurats made non-optional while I wasn't looking?
>>506556996You probably could win on Insane without investing in anything besides armor/weapon training and the Survival tree, but that sounds like a horrible runI should try it
>>506574990Zigs are optional. By "universal" I meant that zigging is a similar stage for every race. Build paths "timelines" converge at Orc:2 and again at zig. For the intervening branches, the sequence varies. One could make an argument that clearing Zot:5 should count as a save point, but I think some races prefer to delay Zot longer than others. It would amount to a save before the Orb run, which I think cheapens the tension too much.Unrelated: maybe rune branches should give a stat point and non-rune branches a lesser boon such as a small amount of HP, MP, MR, stealth, etc.
>>506543486Tiles are for faggots. Imagination is better than crappy programmer "art"
>>506533760thanks
I said I would try this at some pointnow is the time, I guess

Fuck Arthur Pendragon
>>506594521>no fate/stay night roguelikeIt's literally the perfect setting too>class system: regular person, magus, vampire, dark disciple, ancestor, heroic spirit (tons of subclass)>needs to have sex to recover mana (a very roguelike feature)
it's dogshitI need to try to find a scope
>>506548562interesting
I wasn't aiming anywhere near the zombie predatorthis is actually unuseably badmaybe I have the wrong set of mods on it
>>506594698true
Pendragon is just a penlight but with a dragon instead of light.
>>506547447Yeah he got recruited and he's not even remotely good like a martial artist actually wouldI could either have him as a tank or sit in the base as a part of expanding settlement>>506557814When you talk with an NPC you have an option to ask them what they're doing
>>506595008>>506595252>scopeDo you actually think it's possible to shoulder fire an M2 Browning?It doesn't even have a grip. The trigger is right at the back, so you can sit comfortably behind the gun when firing it from a tripod or a vehicle.
>>506595252Fire superiority through volume is a staple of the browning.
>>506619945would be spookier if it mimicked cries for help
>>506619945Why don't you use survivor's suits? There's even a shitty lolita survivor suit on the dicksword.
We fucking did itI threw in dynamite. Honestly it was a gamble whether it'll damage others or notAlso, what i found out>Giant mi-go appears out of nowhere>Destroying big sack of nerves opens up the gates to everyone's prison>>506619945I think they do?There are so many lines that they have that i keep forgetting
>>506621773>Honestly it was a gambleliberty or death
>>506621773>Giant mi-go appears out of nowhere>>Destroying big sack of nerves opens up the gates to everyone's prisonThe monster spawns because the nerve cluster is destroyed
In BN how do you deal with turrets that are inside bunkers?
Throw a grenade around the corner
Rescue operation did not go without unfortunate casualtiesSome mutant woman (Apis) started fucking up the other survivors once they were let out of their cages and Charlene managed to kill her only after Apis killed 2 innocent peopleFor some reason they dont want to come out of the camp so i smashed my way in with the car, damaging it heavily in processSadly for me, these were women so i have 2 men and 2 women survivors. Sailor moon girls are gone, now we're just a band of survivorsAlso, after giving ranged npcs the command to just go wild and don't aim they started to actually shoot and it's not like they're missing everything either, only like 1 out of 4/5 shots>>506621725My character, Charlene, is too /fa/ for itTawana and Cindy have light versions of it (+Samurai armor for Cindy apperantly they don't conflict)Clyde doesn't have it yet because im poor on leather. I'm gonna kill some animals for itKanisha and Latrina are super ranged and if we get to the point that they're being engaged on then we're probably dead anyway>>506622030It paid off>>506629123That does make sense when you say it now
>>506647571>Kanisha and Latrinatoilet twins?
>>506648601No haha
>>506644473I use X to peak corners then toss a grenade. Some pistols and smgs are fast enough to use that you can shoot before the turret can shoot.
>>506621725What mod?
>>506650710https://github.com/AlecWhite/Lolita_Fashion/tree/mainIt's pure weebery for a survivor suit with fancy flag.
>>506650138backup dancers
WHAT THE FUCK>>506651213The new girls or Kanisha (blondie) and Latrina (white haired black)

is stoneshard finally worth playing?
No.
Yes.
>>506615006in real life, yeah, but cataclysm doesn't make any sense>>506617764the beaten zone is too big
>>506621773>just throw explosives in therehuhwhy didn't I try that
>>506660156IDK I've always played it so I dunno what issues people have with it before this update besides all the walkingEarly game has gotten a lot more interesting in my opinion. 1-tile corridors are basically gone, and resting and berry spam got nerfed hard, so you have to be even wiser in positioning and more resourceful. Can't say much more than that since I play permadeath.
>>506644473control laptopEMP grenadeshaving enough armor that you're immune to bullets and then just walking up and bapping them (you need power armor to do 5.56)stacking all of the speed and aimspeed buffs and then shooting them before they shoot youprevious strategy works best when you have an EMP gun (the bionic one is really good)

>>506613567>Yeah he got recruited and he's not even remotely good like a martial artist actually wouldCan't you... get rid of him?
a juggernaut just launched me through another zombie, killing the zombie
>>506682807Nice. I'd love if it could pick you up (while you're wearing full power armor) and use you to whack the whole city population into oblivion.
>>506683104why would the zombie use your body to kill other zombies except on accident
>>506683240I dunno, hulks and juggernauts usually end up killing normal zeds in some way if they stick around.
remarkably good haul from this bank lol>>506683564I haven't experienced that, it's usually the husks and spitters doing the friendly firewhich is an issue when gasoline zombies exist

any recs for a "pure, intense" experience?i dislike sandbox stuff and much prefer short, hard, focused shit. big fan of brogue and jupiter hell (last i played it was in early access, so maybe i should check it out again and have partially answered my own question)but i was curious what i had missed in that vein, since i haven't posted in /rlg/ in years

>>506793442>as long as your gpu supports opengl es 3.0Good joke.
I might've found Cindy a boyfriend, that red jacket guy has an identical mutation line like herI kind of want to recruit the blonde guy besides Charlene. He's got a typical protagonist backstory and he's the only person by this table with decent rifle skills besides Charlene.Huge deal breaker is Frail. Can purifiers actually remove that or is it just mutations that someone got throughout the playthrough?>>506792902No! It's not what it looks like...All these people by the table are new. We'll make them a place to sleep
>>506799769Explain me again why not use survivor/light survivor suits.Too much kevlar/leather needed?
>>506800140>survivor/light survivor suits.But for who?>Too much kevlar/leather needed?Somewhat, yesJust recently discovered you can dissect kevlar zombies for kevlar. Will get to it.
>>506800708>But for who?For everyone. What use case do you not need normal/light survivor armor? bathing on rads/acid?
Oh wow...>>506801085Cindy has the light one and Clyde will get oneCharlene and the rest just stay back and shoot
>>506802250>Charlene and the rest just stay back and shootThat's a lot of confidence that no mishaps will happen. I would at least fit them with the strongest helmets/torso armor. Just in case a chicken walker decides to say hello.Also how much micro is dealing with so many NPCs?
>>506802773>Also how much micro is dealing with so many NPCs?It's a bit annoying but manageable>That's a lot of confidence that no mishaps will happen. I would at least fit them with the strongest helmets/torso armor. Just in case a chicken walker decides to say hello.Cindy and Clyde usually run in first and im picking my fights carefullyThat said, i will consider your suggestion
>>506804627>It's a bit annoying but manageableany suggestions for us devs to make them better?
>>506805451Uhhh, wellI don't really have a good idea, but maybe make "Move to this location" overwrite anything else the NPC is doingI unfortunately have to use debug to teleport my 2 melee NPCs because despite telling them to move into a certian position so they don't get fucking killed they just refuse to listen and charge into the enemyNo idea for anything else at the moment, kind of tired so i probably can't think of anythingThanks for asking!

>he needs to searchJust write a backstory about a golden empire whose weapons were so terrible that the world could not survive its cyclical decline, so the elites unleashed a bioweapon to cull its insane NPCs, but it escaped and other great powers retaliated, until the plague mutated into an apocalypse, yet the nukes mysteriously never flew, a mystery explained when aliens returned to the surface and began culling and collecting survivors, as the dimensional fabric unraveled in geomagnetic excursion, and the best humans were quietly guided to portals elsewhen, leaving a wasteland of rabid psychopaths to fight in the shadow of autarchic enclaves, ruled by mind control.

Is Ostranauts a Roguelike?
>>507016004I have enough 'tism for it.I've tried BN, but DDA has some small things i like over BN, simple stuff like coloured food text.
>>507017034To an extent? Some screenshots look roguelike-y, others not so much
>>507017034no it's notit's a colony sim/indie/
>>506925325Play Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
>>507011164I don't think DCSS has any evo focused gods after they turned Nem to invo and removed Pakellas
My great sin is treating CDDA as a farming sim. Transhumanist robutts can piss off, forget raiding labs, this dairy empire will crush the wasteland with economic might. Oh you have bullets for sale? You buy 1000 powdered milks?

>>507042721>Phone cataclysmI salute you
Is there any reason to do subway labs in BN? They seem to have barely any loot. Feels like a waste of resources to raid them.
>>507049509You can sometimes find a special vault with valuable mutagens or CBMs. And the rest of it has chemistry equipment and materials. They're definitely worse than real labs, though.
>>507043129If you see some blue squiggly dudes, run the other way
>>507051225>Broken legHaha
Anons, help me out with a CDDA thing. I'm still a massive newfag.I want to build a fence and a trench with spikes in front around my cabinbase, but it's going to take forever.How do I get an NPC to do it? Like outside of combat Liam (I started with Best Friends to The End) is useless. And even in combat he sometimes loses his axe.Also any NPC tips in general?
>>507052847>help me out with a CDDA thing.uninstall dda and start playing Bright Nights

Do you agree with my triangle of roguelikes ? Where would you fit Roguelikes you've played ?
>>507052847>shift + y for zones>add a construction blueprint>select whatever you want to construct>select where you want to construct it>confirm changes>talk to NPC>discuss current activity>please do any construction workThe NPC needs to have the skills required for the construction recipe, as well as the necessary tools and materials either in his inventory, or within a few tiles of the construction site. You need to stay around and watch, if you walk too far the area he's in will be unloaded and there's no system in place to let him keep working like that.NPCs also automatically assist you with all construction tasks and batch crafting, cutting down the required time. They still need the skills, though watching you work will train them.
>>507053831>DDA has had a larger development team since the split, so it has more content overall. >No exodii in BN.>BN doesn't use the pocket system, all your inventory volume is just added together. You can carry a rifle spread inside your cargo pants, fanny pack and utility vest.>DDA has additional fatigue mechanics, making melee combat more difficult.>BN has a simplified temperature system, food doesn't freeze though cold still preserves it.>BN has fewer skills and no proficiencies.
>>507069174I like to imagine this is what any sentient ai would view humanity as.

we are so back
>>507089607But is it good?
>>507091581It's awful.
>>507091581Bought it and achra. Apparently it's better now but I need to check for myself.
>>507093405which mechanic filtered you
is it finished yet
>>507094158I don't like randomized things, permadeath, or looting.
>>507094158It's not balanced around roguelike (permadeath) mode. I'm not sure its balanced around anything. I did 3 runs on the new patch and all 3 of them ended with me dying to two goons with 2H weapons hitting me at the same time, which seems impossible to avoid now with dungeon chokepoints being removed
>>507095459>I don't like randomized things, permadeath, or looting.
>>507078293I haven't had enough sleep to think about whether I agree with it or not. I'm also not really sure about how accurately I filled it out. Also, I halfheartedly tried playing Elona once over a decade ago, but I never had the slightest clue what I was doing so I didn't put it in.
>>507096371I can't say I've gotten far as a permadeath player myself in the new patch but the difficulty doesn't bother me too much. You can't position yourself behind a choke anymore but you can position yourself in certain ways that give you a slight upperhand, depending on how the enemies path towards you. It gets even more complicated if you have knockback/immobilize abilities and traps are involved.They're been slowly tweaking certain mechanics to make the game overall a bit less brutal since the update, so I guess we'll see how it goes.
>>507078293Survival roguelikes are Hacks
>>507101687You can also make temporary chokes with traps like caltrops, which are like 25 gold in this update
>>507089607Tried it again after the new update, even the lower level dungeons are hard now and why the fuck am I hungry all the time. I watched some streamer getting no or low hunger traveling 2-3 squares and clearing dungeon without eating shit.And the new "outposts" with the inns dont have water source too.
>>507120449damn I love jethro and 70s progressive rock>songs from the WOOOOooOOOODD>to make you feel much better than you could know *ding*

>>507137467Explain Hack-like
It would seem that the Elin hype has mostly died down.
>>507149098It's pretty bare feature-wise.
>>507080759Thanks Anon! This will save me so much time!Do you have any other tips in general?
>>507152000To save the most time, roll the uninstall wizard
>>507098389I think CDDA is halfway between survival and interactions/mechanics.And BN is the same with less survival and a smidge more stats/combat.
>>507095459BasedI want to try a roguelike with hand designed maps, multiple retries and no lootslop
>>507105971From the trapper which has a 50% chance of spawning on a new game...>enter dungeon>two 2h axe guys are the first encounter>use caltrops to make a chokepoint>the one who can't approach me disarms the caltrops>kill both and die of bleeding on the turn the 2nd one diesso the caltrops bought me exactly one turn, great...
Weird question but is there a game like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup but with anime girls?
>watch stoneshard streamer>he's speedhacking
>>507157619>From the trapper which has a 50% chance of spawning on a new game...Take some time to explore, the innkeeper at the southern inn sells traps. Once you explore both the mill and the southern inn then you're generally level 2.>>the one who can't approach me disarms the caltropsI'm still trying to figure out the logic on this, they don't always do it.>dying of bleedingI always bandage as soon as I bleed.Also the somewhat obvious stuff. Use a ranged weapon if you'd like. Always detect traps so you can figure a choke or at least some fallback position. Play around with the fact that enemies (and you) can't move diagonally across obstacles. Throw shit if you have to.
>>507164616The walking is still pretty monotonous in the new update, though the new crafting and cooking stuff help just a little. IDK maybe they should speed up overworld walking.
>>507164616Any stonesharter worth watching before I go ahead and "buy" it?
>>507164772Oh and there's shouting to pull away strays, but keep in mind it costs like 2% thirst

Thoughts?There are so many fun combinations i could haveMaybe a sniper rifle and a desert eagle
>>507218995RM99 revolver and the heavy rail rifle. We /scifi/.
>>507177129good lord what's going on with the bags under the eyes
>>507219304>RM99 revolverThe RM99 Revolver is so great, and it allows you to be (relatively) conservative with the caseless ammo. I always hotkey it to `R`
>>507219304>>507220359The revolver sounds fun but untill i find this book, which i have no idea where it is, i'll need a weapon that i can actually sustain. Which is about any normal weapon since Charlene knows how to craft smokeless gunpowder now
>>507219429>good lord what's going on with the bags under the eyesThat's currently the latest trend from Harajuku fashion. Specially popular among jirai kei and related.>>507220627You have a little over 1k of caseless ammo. I'd thought that it will last you a while.Also, can you do an explanation of what gear/armor/weapons your party is using and why?I find this whole thing of using NPCs for combat strange and interesting. I should also use it, but dunno where/how get more NPCs.
uhthat looks dangerous
Wait what you can make a helicopter? That's rad>>507221757>You have a little over 1k of caseless ammo. I'd thought that it will last you a while.Oh right i nearly died to that robot. I know it dropped some caseless ammo but i did not expect it to be for the exact same gun i have. Lucky me!>Also, can you do an explanation of what gear/armor/weapons your party is using and why?My melee characters get the best armor i haveMy ranged characters just get helmets and kevlar vests along with minor protection like pads. Only Tawana has a survivor suit because im low on leather. I will fix that eventuallyMy character is running around with Kevlar vest, helmet+firefighter PBA mask/ballistic glasses (currently taken off) and rest is cosmetics because she's stylish and likes pretty clothes. Never engages in melee. She has Cindy and Clyde for thatRest of the NPCs are Bunker dwellers. We're building a community here. If something bad happens to my main party i'll start recruiting people from the bunker or if i want to just change the party aroundFor now most people that stay in the bunker are survivorlets and would not make it outside in the wasteland or would have a hard time but they're still useful around here>I find this whole thing of using NPCs for combat strange and interesting. They are sometimes a hindrance but most of the time they're useful, especially Melee npcs>I should also use it, but dunno where/how get more NPCs.If you spend some time in the same place (a day or a bit more) they should start spawning in your reality bubble. All depends on your spawn rate set, of course
>>507223643>If you spend some time in the same place (a day or a bit more) they should start spawning in your reality bubbleWhat option is that?I'm like a year and a half in the evac shelter I started with and only found 4 NPCs. 2 of which were like several hours walking distance from my base, and they died to zombies before I could save them.
>>507224982Random NPCs and NPC spawn rate scaling factor
>>507226025Are you sure random NPCs spawn NPCs on already discovered areas?
>>507224982Also i should note that (i think) certain locations have a higher chance for an NPC to spawnFor example, camps, field camps, barns, farms, derelict sheds, cabins, swamp shacks, evac sheltersPlaces where things are safer
>>507227559They doPic related. A hostile NPC spawned near at my cave location when i was underground making stuff for like a day or 2He had an m4. I was lucky not to get magdumped by him
>>507228058Did you pick LMOE start?
>>507228884No, why?It was a regular large building start, mallAbandoned or Surrounded start? I don't remember which one did that
>>507216732how about a basic system:>when a broken limb is hit too much, or when a limb takes overwhelming damage, it has a chance to be severed, dealing damage to the torso and blood loss, ect.>fabrication and mechanic let you craft basic prosthesis (stuff like an iron hand, a peg leg and maybe at higher levels "current year" modern prosthetics, these can be activated and equipped as normal>hospitals have "current year" prosthesis and (rarely) basic robot limbs, that can be installed like CBMs (if you're still supporting that system, they give you back slots, might even give more than your base body) and give you back full functionality, including maybe eyes and ears to cure deafness/blindness, if that's not already covered by CBMsthese robot limbs come with a new clothing layer (internal) with 100% coverage and a base armor value, they can't bleed, are immune to pain, get infected or frostbitten and just work (something something atomic batteries since coffee makers and lamps are consumer grade already)the health shows the item health of the limb (or nothing if the UI is a bitch)Of course, not everyone goes to the hospital and whack limbs can be found rarely in the ripperdoc basement either with preinstalled CBMs (or cbm-like augments, shit like internal shotguns, light cannons, claws, roller-skates, bulky integrated armor, chainsaw arms...) and maybe a few "jury rigged" limbs from scrap with their crafting recipe >Labs rarely have superalloy limbs that give stat bonuses but need to be powered like CBMs and also full borg options like a bionic torso, head and even a better torso module that lets you shove your brain in there, and replace your head with some sensors or more stealthy options (something something synthetic tissues grown thanks to the blob) that just give you a normal limb back, and maybe things like targeting eyes that you can link to cameras/scopes for farsight and precision bonuses 1/2
>>507230803Would be kino. Imagine losing your legs and having to play in your wheelchair with a roll cage, Browning hmg, and rocket boosters for the rest of the game.
>>5072308032/2you CAN have healthy limbs chopped off and be replaced by bionics, but unless you're insane that gives you heavy morale penalties CBMs can be inserted in bionic limbs with electronics and mechanic skills instead of medical, don't require sterilization/anesthesia i'm pretty sure there's code for "cursed" gear that you can't normally remove (i think in the foodperson stuff), you should be able to make use of that, i thinkNot sure if there should be a risk of failure for installing these, maybe you are guaranteed a limb, but you have a risk of it coming along a faulty CBM and a phantom pain perk ? Since limbs cover different parts, some models could have swappable attachement systems for fancy foot/hand parts, from an iron ball at the end of a basic arm, to crazy stuff like a Mazinger puncher and scissorhands
>>507230803>>507231657And how would you deal with more than 2 arms/more exotic "arms"?
>>507234231>more than twonot planned at all, i guess anything more than shoulder canons would be too much of a pain?>exoticjust a mutated anatomy tag and more integrated armor/CBMs
>>507239721You need more shelves and stuff. Piles of loot is very cringe.
>>507240123I'm aware, friendIt's a temporary assortment of weapons by categories and weapons in categories that i might/will use so it got really cluttered. I will fix it!
What do you mean i can't hold all these guns at onceeeee(This is without any other items in inventory) (Yes i know about 1k ammo, it would still be 49kgs)
>>507124428>why the fuck am I hungry all the timeThey boosted hunger gain when resting
You know, I'm kinda getting tired of fantasy scenarios. I think I want something more down to earth and relatable. Something like a realistic apocalypse simulator, where I can have like ten times as many items as those other games and just shoot sketchy people if I want more, but otherwise it's pretty much just the the place where I live. Yeah, that sounds good. Now where can I find a free RPG that does this.>inb4 coq>inb4 tangledeep

>>507276420>plate armorokay>superalloy plate armordecent>both ornamental plate armorsmediocrethe issue with the plate armor is that the coverage only works on 19/20 attacks, so you're vulnerable to ye olde peasant archer swarm strategy and can eventually get chipped downthe medieval weaponry is pretty universally godlike howeverrapier, broadsword, longsword are simply incredible if you have their martial arts, and most of the other weapons are at least goodI haven't spent too much time messing with the non-sword weapons like the Lucerne Hammer (it swings too slow and I don't have the martial art for it)
>>507222692They're not that tough. Ton of HP but not otherwise special.
>>507270103In BN you could construct a grid connector and then attach the car to it with jumper cables to recharge it from building solar panels.You can also just install solar panels on the car, or cut the battery out with a saw to recharge it and then weld it back on.

In Elin what are the best slots for a chaos shape (via reloading)? Making a new character and aiming for an additional 5 hands, 3 arms and 1 head, don't know what the other 3 slots should ideally be for when I get to 11 and then beyond.

It's my first serious foray into anything even resembling a roguelike, my only previous experiences being a little bit of Moria and Rogue, which I didn't really give a chance. I've read through the sticky before, but there are so many and I really don't know where to start, any suggestions?
>>507398127do you like the pockets systemI think it's fiddly garbage (just like the welding changes) so I play BN instead
>>507397915>he's trying to punch the car into me)We need an update that lets hulks and other big stronk beasties fling/move vehicles>inb4 that's a thing on BN
>>507402617it's a thing in BN lol
>>507399662pockets can be good to setup stuff, like "oh yeah i'll keep medical supplies in that knapsack and put junk i can drop in that duffelbag while keeping the ammo for my gun in my jacket"but it's micromanagy tedium, and i honestly don't remember if it is implemented in a good way
>>507397915>>507398082Anon did you download a tilepack? Have you enabled the graphics for UtiliCa?>>507402617Pretty sure they can already do that in dda.Or at least they can take big chunks out of a car or brick wall walking through it and the shrapnel will hit you
>>507410893>Anon did you download a tilepack? Have you enabled the graphics for UtiliCa?the what?
>>507399662I just ignore pocket customization.Most stuff goes into my backpack anyway and i can drop it for extra combat dodging.>>507398127The game is slow to start, you will die very quickly if you play it like zomboid's "oh im going to go from house A to Z today and juke all the zombies"Night time is generally safer if you can see a little bit (not foggy, good moon), but if you carry a light you become a beacon. Zombie dogs can also sniff you out even if you think you've lost the zombies.Fire is OP, just ignite some paper on the ground, stand next to it and 1v1 zombies, even if you miss they will burn and you wont.Post any questions here, we'll always answer them.
>>507411207>oh im going to go from house A to Z today and juke all the zombiesQuickFleet-FootedParkour Expertsimply bap zombie dogs in the face with a pipe if they get uppity
>>507411050If you downloaded the tiles and graphics version for windows, tiles should already be enabled. You can also enable sounds too.https://cataclysmdda.org/releases/
>>507411489I have deliberately turned tiles off you faggotalso I'm not playing DDA
>>507399662Uh, I don't really know how I feel about it yet. I like being able to have all my ammo, or anything else, in a particular place. On the other hand, I despise putting a box in my inventory and having it fill up with random junk, or wearing a backpack and having to dump everything out to empty it. But it hasn't impacted my gameplay too greatly up to this point, so I have no strong feelings about it one way or the other.>>507411207Thanks for the advice.
>>507411526Wow you are so epic. Can i ever be as cool as you?
>>507412246i wish we could fill cardboard boxes and other "useless" containers in BN, i hate having piles of powder and unsorted junk around
I for one love Cataclysm's lore, at least the original one. The wiki description on how the whole world ended within moments is thrilling
Just found a "monster corpse" on the map in dda. Went there and it was just a pyramid of tainted flesh? I jackhammered inside 3 tiles (barely a dent) but just found more flesh.Is that it?
>>507417860surely there must be something in its core somewhere?(i have no idea)
>>507417860I didn't even know that was a thing.
You know, we assumed it's kind of obvious that 99% of people are dead and there'll be nothing if we turn on the radio but we decided to do it nowSome creepy fucking messagesOtopack soundpack really gives some really unnerving sounds coming through. Makes you realize that we're living in a paradise compared to what's happening outside this cave
>>507426689>still no more beds>still piles of lootTell me at least you have sown a field for crops.
Yeah, hearing someone starting to play some muffled music and then getting killed by zombies isn't improving our morale at allSorry guys
>>507426983Excuse youBuilding a community underground is not easy at allWe created some "bedrooms", 2 people each for now, we'll start making more soonAlso, clothing room was made too
>>507417860>>507424253>>507426645There are multiple segments that should poke out above ground. There are ones with stairs down below. Never really bothered to take a look at what's inside desu
>>507394454Shalore, Dual wielding, lightning, short staff plus dagger. It's slog at the start you're like a weaker archmage, but later on when you can make like 6 hits with flurry with 6 lighting procs on top of that it's fun, crazy damage. Tried to make fire one work but the start is even harder. Maybe on some other run. >>507391862It really sells fantasy of a class. It's not just small stat increase and equipment set like in crawl. When you pick Bulwark you are block of armor with a shield and skills translate to that. You can push it into antimagic or magic direction but at the end of the day feeling of being armored sword and board warrior stays there. There is also lot of theory crafting every class has a lot of skills and equipment is like in diablo2 where every piece has a lot of egos. So you can fine tune things to squeeze a lot of power out of every build.

Is there any fork of Cataclysm that works like a normal RPG with saves and whatnot? Or maybe a mod for it?

I haven't played Cataclysm in a very long time. This canoe I found is new to me. I like how it looks like total dogshit.
I know we don't really care for CoQ in this thread, but I just finished the game, and I'm pretty impressed by how much they managed to fuck that up the ending.
>>507522505>inb4 jawed terror
>>507529545Unfortunately I was eaten by coyotes on the way to the bathroom before that could happen. Loading floating beaver and goose corpses left behind by water scorpions up on to my canoe was neat though.

It's a Christmas miracle!
>>507522505the canoes look good in console mode with the graphics off

>>507569749A lot of roguelikes actually make great use of their ASCII graphics and I often prefer to play them in ASCII mode.None of those games are Cataclysm.
>>507576770Oh, you know that does look pretty good. Merry Christmas ASCII-fag.
>>507577002Cataclysm is just an ugly game all around, I don't disagree that the ASCII is ugly but I have never seen a tileset that I've liked (because the game was designed in ASCII)
>>507576706VGHSOVL
>>507576770You're blushing... For me?
>>507569749>>507577002 (Me)Okay to be fair on its own that canoe does look pretty alright the rest of the game is a fucking mess in ascii though and unifont does it no favors on top
>>507577027Merry Christmas, tileshitter>>507578158I am far too lazy to get a screenshot of the canoe in-game right now
>>507577002Classic Cataclysm, when it was just Whales, looked fine with ASCII. Now there's billions of items and walking through the forest looks like a clown vomited because plants can't just be fucking green.
>>507577226I liked the one I think was called Retrodays. Not too busy and the black background helped keep the bleak atmosphere of the game. Kinda burned my eyes though.
I think its pretty

Some kind of NPC interaction where they're in trouble should make you more convincing when you're asking them to join youOr a special interaction in a situation like that but i don't think that's possible, is it?
Months of sitting in a cave spawned a lot of NPCs, even with 1.30 npc scaling factor
CDDA modding question. Is it possible to add extra alternative flavor text messages onto "pet": or is it restricted to a single line? I want it to play different messages each time, like "You spend some time playing fetch with X", or "You teach X to shit post on 4chan". Please don't make me ask this question on reddit, I fucking hate it there "petfood": { "food": [ "DOGFOOD" ], "feed": "The %s seems to like you! It lets you pat its head and seems friendly.", "pet": "The %s happily wags its tail while you pat its head."
Is there a way to produce inhalers or something that has the same effects as it?My cave community grows but i've got 2 people with Asthma, 3rd one comingI know i shouldn't let genelets in but i can't help myself
>>507586116AFAIK no. Asthma is weirdly a deal breaker in BN.
>>507586717That means that DDA has a way to deal with it?What a shame.
>>507586847>That means that DDA has a way to deal with it?Dunno. Haven't touched DDA since pockets were first PR'ed.
>>507571260Why do you care ? She's sexy that's all there is to it. I'd rather see more gookbug that another monotonous Cata/Elin post.
>>507578686yeah I might swap to retrodays for screenshots, it's very... Qudish? Qud and Cogmind have similar aesthetics to it
>>507579360do you not have a stereo system in your car? get that free +30 morale from having the stereo blasting

>>507564296>they've breached the surfaceIt's already ogre
Aha, some human garbage.
>>507586847DDA has inhalers you can find in the medical loot pools.Useless if you dont have asthma, but some NPCs exist with a quest requesting one.>>507592748I think you need to remove that extra speed auto drive mod. Though that looks like a helicopter so auto fly?
>>507586116>Is there a way to produce inhalers or something that has the same effects as it?give them mutations until Asthma disappears
>>507533821how about Zeonist
>>507582617oh, that's kind of smart actually now that I think about it>>507591367kill yourself please>>507586847>>507586116>>507586717spurge tea does something to asthma in BN, I'm not sure if it's just preventative or what>>507599352do any mutations naturally cancel asthmatic? or does chugging mutagen just have a chance to randomly wipe out starting traits
>>507598119I wasn't even auto-flying. I spent all that time trying to get fuel for my helicopter and decided to do a fly around a mi-go scout tower and clipped the corner of it while trying to leave.(I was killed by a single web spider a few minutes later.)
I guess it can't be done, I can't get "pet": to accept more than one value. I also can't get it to take a snippet so "pet": "<snippet_id>", doesn't work
>>507601914wow owned, sounds like you're having much harder problems than I am with codingmy problem is that I'm busying jacking off and playing video games instead of coding
>>507586116Oxygen packs, i think, you might be able to produce extra oxygen with an electrolysis kit (big "might")
>>507600612>trying to get fuel for my helicoptersimply harvest zombies and turn them into biodiesel with the power of saltwater and boiling trees or whatever
>>507604175you cannot
>>507606349I cant tell if you're being serious or not because this sound autistic enough to be a thing.
>>507606349I'm not sure what part of 'dies to a single web spider' makes you think this was ever a possibility.
>>507608905do you have the biodiesel book?>>507608993web spiders are terrifying actually? especially if you don't have amazing armor or great dodge
>>507608905>>507609619yeah
>He thinks creating biodiesel is autisticCreate bullets from scratch. Not the blackpowder ones.
>>507609619you can also extract lye from wood ash if you don't have an electrolysis kit but saltwater is funnier
>>507609619Maybe it's something that changed since I last played then because I remember web spiders being pretty low tier enemies. I was not stuck in a web at the time.
What are the best ways for a True Kin punch guy to stack as much UNGA as possible? So far I got:>Double (Thanks to Equipment Rack) Overloaded Exoskeleton for +8 STR>Double Gesticulating mod (1 on Exo and 1 on gloves, extra floating slot from Magnet Core) for another +11 STR>Hulk Honey trigger recipe (Usually a "When you drink honey" type) for +8>Applying Hulk Honey directly for a final +9 STR in tough fights
>>507610143if they proc the venom it can put you over the edge into one of the various deathspirals/stunlocks iirc, either pain or stamina (I forget)they're pretty mediocre aside from that, although they have a lot of health for a spider which gives them more chances to proc that venom
>>507608690>using electrolysis to produce Hydrogen doesn't produce Oxygen as a byproductREEEEEEEEEEEEthat should be fixed, desu.
>>507609821you're better off distilling vodka or whatever, turning that into denatured alcohol and using that (or separating it into sweet ethanol and methanol), but it might be less funny
>>507570323>tell us more, pleaseHolistically, the ending of the game isn't that bad. But as an update, it doesn't fucking add anything. It quite literally adds a lore dump / conclusion to the story, and nothing else. No new dungeon, no enemies, no mutations. I really wonder why gamedev (well, software in general) ends up hitting some glacial paces towards the end. Tomb of the eaters is really cool, huge dungeon, and was added like half a decade ago. In the 5 years since, they've not even come close to adding anything as substantial. With some more spoilery points below:You finally ascend the spindle and get to see what is at top. After a few rooms, you enter a transit system which reveals a new, massive space platform with various structures, habitats, and decay. The "twist" is, you literally can't go to any of these places, and the few places you can go to are a couple rooms and just lead to one of the various endings. If it didn't have that map, I would feel significantly less bad, but as, it just feels like a massive chunk of cut content. Honestly, all 3 of the main CoQ dungeons are super memorable and engaging, and not sending the game off in a final massive dungeon feels really shitty. It could be a teaser for DLC as well (and honestly, I love CoQ and would gladly pay for that), but it just feels really shitty teasing DLC when the actual "final 1.0" update added basically nothing.I think the lore conclusion is fine. I wish it had expanded on a few things, but CoQ was always a game that withheld more lore than it actually gives.
>>507614109it's less innawoods, which is part of the jokeI agree that the best alcohol source is distilling the whiskey barrels that you find in the basement of mansionsthere's no reason not to go for ethanol (it's more useful than denatured alcohol) if you have the distilling capabilities for it because it takes the same amount of time and uses the same amount of product
>>507610372I think you basically have it. If you keep playing the story, you should encounter a 3rd floating slot. Grinding up eater's nectar / metamorphic polygel is pretty straightforward, but not necessarily the fastest thing. Getting double muscled would also go fucking crazy, but getting a specific mutation on true kin is pretty annoying and tedious.
>>507576287Only 9-11 I care about is the CIA-induces one
Back in my days if people wanted to show off their video game knowledge they'd write a thesis length guide and upload it to GameFAQs and decorate it with fancy ASCIINowadays kids can't read so they just watch another soiface video about their monthly $60 and that's why gaming is so bad now
>>507629007That's just a result of the death of forums grandpa.
Perhaps the Internet didn't fail, it succeeded, and is thus "dead" in the sense that intelligent amateurs have turned pro and have better things to do than converse with the unfiltered masses, whose IQ has steadily dropped with technological innovation. The early Internet was a haven for intelligent amateurs, and that requires gated communities to find now, since hardware is no longer the barrier.

why does autodrive in BN still take you into craters that are labeled on the map

The most successful and fun run i had in dda was spawning in the middle of a giant city (didnt change map settings, it was just big).Then i was living on the 4th floor of an apartment making bombs and SUPER noise makers with 300 volume.I set down the noise maker at night alongside a gasoline fire and watch everything BURN.Eventually i escaped the city(came back though because it was home). Got a laser rifle from a science tower, killed a skeletal hulk and blew up a bandit fort.How do i chase those highs again?

In FrogComposband I was grinding Castle 64 for loot, recalled to it, saw a group of Keeper of Secrets, thought they were too dangereous so immediately teleported, they followed me and killed in one turn. 600ish HP, 126 AC, 36 lvl monk died in a single turn. I'm seething
Sometimes the dice say it's your turn, and the keeper of silence has her way.hurts tho
they further split (Ranged) Weapon Repair Kits into Laser, Rail and I think Microwave(?) Kits in Quasimorph, which is kinda shittier for my lazy assbut then they added several properties to both Armors and then Materials to enhance upkeep, like Synthetic and Aramida bunch of consumables were added, I think cold statuses too with drugs that treat Hypothermia and Frostbitenew renderer looks very good though, and enemies properly show their current directive and if they noticed you or are investigating noiseearly game is still ass-reaming though

>>507614617Boy, you weren't kidding. I spent entirely too long preparing my roleplay playthrough for the ascent just for a few empty rooms and purple prose monologues. The worst kick in the dick was finding two weapons with unique mechanics, but only having a pair of half-hearted cherubs there to use them on.Not sure I agree that the lore stuck the landing, but I agree that it withholds a lot. It just withhold enough that I can't put a finger on why it feels so empty.

I've never modded cdda before, but i have an idea for a new monster that can "cut" chain fences and such, but not walls like a hulk.I saw the DESTROYS tag here https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/doc/JSON_FLAGS.md#monsters but it relies on bashing.Is there any way to have a new tag which does the same for cut damage?Maybe i should start by modding in something easier hah.

>>507724882If I have a 6 str character going for slime or rat or something I'm not taking a sword they can barely wield just because I got the book. Rather use the weight for more ammo, explosives, and armor.
>>507725687the flower of battle is a polearms book iircwhat's the advantage of rat
I appreciate Cataclysm's ability to produce amusing mental images with it's mechanics.Survivor eating handfuls of freshly cooked scrambled eggs with bacon off of the ground is something.
>>507727686look, they were heavy, okay?
Any URW chad itt?No other roguelike can match the comfy feeling of coming out the cabin to fish while watching the crops grow.
I made a brand new character in cata BN to test a few things and suddenly had a fungal infection out of nowhere. Are there any rare and obtuse causes because i was only on the road and in the sewer.
>>507730089did you get looked at? that's the most common cause of fungal infections for meI don't think walking in sewer water will cause fungal infections
>>507730754yeah... is there anything that explains how that works?
>>507731315what, being looked at? don't get looked at imowhat part of the whole thing confuses you?I was trying to avoid spoiling the roleplayer with the squad of goons
>>507731426does documentation for it exist anywhere i feel like i've been looked at a ton before and never had this happen
>>507728936>coming out the cabin to fish while watching the crops growLiterally Elin life. Plus, your household will tell you "welcome backy, how was your adventuring?" when you come back home.
>>507732015I think you need to code dive for the list of things it can do, but they're all bad, so don't get looked atthe one you need to worry about is it randomly converting all of your stacks of being watched to dimensional stress, which is the one that can fungus you iircworst thing I've ever had it do was spawn a pile of Hounds of Tindalos on my ass
>>507591647I do not have it. Thanks for bringing that up, ill get some stereo here>>507594536What? Should i be worried?>>507598119I've been to 2 pharmacies and 1 hospital only to find 1 inhaler and that was dropped by a child zombieThat's on me for playing No Hope mod and having item rate set to 0.25, but damn that's still harsh>>507599352That sounds funny. I'm not sure they'd appreciate being lab rats but its either that or death from lack of inhalers>>507600350>spurge tea does something to asthma in BN, I'm not sure if it's just preventative or whatYeah that's my question as wellI see that it "prevents" attacks but i feel like it's very temporary
do you think shrodinger pages should increase your glimmer?
>>507732526>Should i be worried?the root runners and root drones can really fuck you up if you don't have electricity resistance
>>507614617It tends to get harder to add things to games as time goes by, because each thing you add potentially breaks other things. Not a huge deal when you have 10 things, but it's a game changer when you have hundreds.In Qud's case though they probably just got lazy, the game prints money like no tomorrow anyway.
>>507629007It's way harder and higher effort to do a video essay than a text dump thoughbiet.
>>507733538They were hard to kill due to being small and me not hitting them but they're dealt with nowAre they actually still underground?
>>507727686My favorite is carrying a one hundred pounds object and riding away with it on my bicycle while presumably holding it with one hand & steering with the other or maybe holding it with both hands and steering with the knees for a twenty minute journey. "Oh look, Hub 01 has skitterbots for sale. Guess I'll hold these back to base one at a time". Imagine the fukkin gains
>>507740854One of the first things I did with my current character is hold a 200L drum of avgas on the way back to the evac shelter on my bike.I've also been killing zombies by hopping on the bike, letting them get close, and then riding slightly faster than them while I take precisely aimed shots with a sling.
>>507741547>I've also been killing zombies by hopping on the bike, letting them get close, and then riding slightly faster than them while I take precisely aimed shots with a sling.Wow, that takes me back - when I first started playing I had a character that spear jousted zombies from a moving bicycle
>>507741547>I've also been killing zombies by hopping on the bike, letting them get close, and then riding slightly faster than them while I take precisely aimed shots with a sling.this one is plausible
>>507725804Rat is low tier, I just like the challenge of trying mutations. Still have yet to do post threshold slime and fish.
I miss when horse archery was viable. Then some arse came along and made horses "realistic" and just left them that way, presumably, because he was sexually intimidated by Mongolian racial supremacy
>>507739689uh I don't think so?I guess I've never checked...>>507743001fish would be really good if there were literally any underwater content to engage withslime turns you into The Master but unfortunately there's no way to build your own super mutant armywhat's even the point of having 30 intelligence by the time you're ready to mutate?
>>507742357Maybe, but the image of just slowly riding forward while spinning a sling just to whack a zombie with a pebble every so often is very amusing to me.
>>507742357You'd look like a clown riding the bike like a unicycle while you reload your sling.
>>507745615Anon, riding a bicycle without using your hands to steer is not a strange thing, and it certainly isn't comparable to a unicycle (which is far more difficult to ride).
I just spent two hours doing absolutely nothing because apparently a Vehicle Deconstruct Zone assumes you can fully deconstruct a vehicle with the tools and skills you have.
>>507753497Never seen this problem in Bright Nights. You are playing Bright Nights, right?
>>507754541>pic relatedPeak roguelike.
For Elin, I'm trying to worship Horome. After some struggle I made it to the Nefu village but I can't find her static altar anywhere. Does anyone remember where it is in the village?
Its morning of day 3 of me living in the top floor of an apartment with seemingly no safe way down.I went out at night on day 1 to try burn some zombies, but 0.H changed fire and now it goes out faster (for the best, its still very strong). I got hurt very badly.All surrounding areas look like picrel, and ground floor of the apartment is covered too.Is my only hope to burn down a building at night? Are zombies attracted to light alone if i throw a glowstick out the window to give me an opening?
>>507663761What is wrong with you? You spend Christmas day taking pictures of this freak, and then post it on 4chan in a roguelike general. You know how sad that is? Not only do you have awful taste, you have no one to share it with, so you bug us instead. Go away.
>>507766992I think that's an influencer, actually.I like her Christmas cheer.
>>507724092That sounds very interesting, good luck.
>>507762685Have you checked the far topmost corner of the village? It's up a bunch of steps? I don't remember clearly, but I think that may be it. It's behind the big building on the left.
>>507767269Thanks for the suggestion, but I found it. It is a blueish box in front of the temple itself. What you're thinking of is her brother in the Mifu village (I thought the same originally).
How do I even get my god artefact in Elin? I think I've been capped with opatos since I've been getting nothing but "You feel a sense of oneness with your god" for like a full year now and I keep offering hundreds of copper, but still havent gotten the hammer
>>507767360Great!
>>507724539Anyone got a pdf of this?
>>507767425Manually pray and faith level min 30.

>>507741547Who are you, Dennis the Menace?
>>507743315I spawned near a farm with horses, are they a viable form of transport? I heard they were decent if you use a cart.
>Blessing a taiko doesn't give performance+All of the other instruments that have P+ sound like such ass though, fuck...
>>507769076I've had fun with horse drawn carts in CDDA. iirc I was typically running in the high 20mph range. You can always slap on another engine too, but be careful about going too fast. If the horses can't keep up with the engine speed, they will get mulched by your car
I WILL GET A DCSS WIN TODAY AAAAAHHHHH SANTA GIVE IT TO ME JUST GIVE MY OpSs WIN
>>507766505What's your character like? If you are in decent shape and have some kind of weapon then you have plenty of options. For example slowly clearing out the building. First you clear out the hallways, then you clear out the rooms, and then bada boom you have yourself lots of food, lots of loot, and a decent base. I started out in an apartment in my current run, and was lucky enough to get wasps in the building that helped me to wipe out everything, after which it was fairly easy to wipe them out. But there is a stratagem I used there which might help you out here. If the apartment has a parking garage, you can lure zombies in there, easily have them lose sight of you, then scream to get them into the back of the place. From here you can either kite them out one by one, fighting them at your own pace, or just leave them in there and close the garage doors so they won't wander out. If you really don't want any risk of injury then I have one more option for you. First train up some throwing, then search some bedrooms or trashcans for a talking doll, disassemble some flashlights to get amplifiers, and get a solder which are fairly common in apartments for some reason so that you can make a noise emitter. Then at night use the fire escape, a great way of getting around the building in general, to get to the second floor activate your noise emitter and throw it as far as you can then bingo, zombies moving at least 30 tiles away from the building giving you plenty of room to escape. Good luck.
>>507768340Thanks
>>507773470Is there a limit to how much they can pull, or could I leash them up to a trailer and hit the road?
>>507775861>Noise emitterI know the sheer power of noise emitters and fire from this run >>507650895I started a new run with almost the same start as that, shattered sky challenge start.I do have a soldering iron and solder, but i dont have electricity. There is a solar panel across the road, but i dont have bolt turning for it.Apparently 0.H included damage for objects falling. Maybe i should just break a window, shout and throw out all the bookshelves and seats i find.Thanks for the inspiration.
>>507774897godspeed anon :)
>>507776405Kek its working.I cant move big stuff like bookshelves out the window, but 60 glass shards and 20 spoons do wonders when falling from 5 stories up.I can slowly kill them this way, then come down at night to finish them off.
>>507776281I think the old wiki showed them functioning the same way as any other engine when harnessed, with all the usual strength, load, whatever characteristics. You can always add more horses, but I usually found the space required to harness and shield them from attackers to get a bit unwieldy.By the way, what the fuck happened to the wiki?
>>507777812>inb4 nearby necromancer
>>507778463Its day 3, unlikely.I really wish i had a grenade right now. The X is the zone i can drop things. I've been taking apart beds and dresses and dropping planks.Maybe i'll craft glass shivs and drop them too.
>>507779170Maybe a nailfield would be somewhat effective? I don't know how well nailboards actually work.
>>507779504Don't you actually have to place nailboards, not just drop them?
>>507779504>>507781047So i made a nailboard, dropped it, no substantial damage. I cant activeate/place it in open air either.However, i can go to the north fire exit of the apartment where its quieter. I placed one down there and it killed like 6 feral humans. I've made 2 more boards and im going back to place more.Throwing glass shards out of a window meta is gone, now traps are my new best friend.
>>507781047I was thinking of putting them in chokepoints to deal with zombies filing in. You might not be able to get enough nails for that to work though, I just checked and a nailboard trap costs 20 nails and you don't get many by just bashing things.
>>507776405>>507777812Glad to hear it.
>>507777972Interesting, no clue what happened to it.https://web.archive.org/web/20240324103752/https://cddawiki.chezzo.com/cdda_wiki/index.php/Main_Page
>no Hindu roguelikeI need to brush up my lore for the inevitable future
>>507779170that is such a repulsive looking tileset, i can hardly even tell what is going on
>>507784794Well it doesn't help its a mess down there with zombies breaking walls, my thrown objects, broken windows and doors. I'm also 6 Z levels up here so i'm peeking down a ledge.>>507781357Update, i have placed 6 nailboards in a zig zag pattern by a 2 wide chokepoint. it manages to get everything except the swat zombies. Night is still too dangerous to go out, as i wander the roads and im too injured to fight anything that jumps me before something else i didn't see comes up behind.
>>507785191Nice, I didn't expect it to be quite that effective.
stop playing DDA

>>507727686i love picturing the vehicles, especially the original/modified onesMy current ride is some kind of scrap electric "bike", with a steerable 10" wheel at the front, a cloth seat with added canvas sack to drive in and a shopping cart at the back (it can somehow all be folded)
>>507791384This is my sedan. It's a little dinged up, but other than having a bad air filter it runs just fine.
>>507784794imo, it looks nice, but it's definitely made for a more zoomed in view i still think the old tileset works better and is a lot clearer, especially when less zoomed in

will my advice be answered if it pertains to BN or is the main fork also kosher?
>>507792263ask away, most people play BN, but you can try
>>507787780the christmas spirit lives on even on the battlefield
Update to my nail board gameplay, i've gone out at night to light a nearby crack house on fire, no loot of note lost. The smashes of the roof collapsing draw in the zombies and it should be hot enough to burn the corpses to ash.
>>507794271nobody will miss it
>>507794271Smart
First time using nail boards, this is cheese on par with noise makers and fire.
>>507796936BN or main fork?
>>507794271good job, you'll get tons of ash for lye later and probably enough nails for a lifetime
>>507411489NTA, but thanks for taking the time to make an informative li'l guide like that
>>507796936Hm, so I've heard before. I'm considering starting a new run again (one of my usual heavily-modded tri-yearly power-fantasy binges). I think I'll play around with traps a lot more this time
"Snapjaw elite in deep strata level 4? Well let's kill her, I can handle it easily and nobody like them anyway. [...] you're now disliked by Fellowship of the Wardens" oh fuck me, the ONE time I don't avoid killing a hostile purple dude it's the specific one that get me hated by all village wardens. Guess that's my own fault for not looking at her relationships but that's so annoying.
>>507733323God no, it's one of the few ways to counteract the idiotic rep system for times when >>507808217 happens.
I hadn't a glimmer, but someone did
>>507811293I discovered the Youtube channel "Rogue Rat" recently and in his current CoQ run he accidentally broke an oath, freaking up a whole lot of faction relationships possibly because he auto-riffled through a unique creature that was considered as trash by the game, just after performing the water ritual. He managed to find a (blank?) shrodinger page that could correct this.Feels like you mostly out of luck if you don't find such an item, some random NPC admired by the targeted faction or a love injector to try forcing a water ritual (what I will try to do next time at Bethesda Sussy with the trolls)
