>>565850403I knew I should have checked the thread, ah well, let's hope this one lasts longer.
>>565850403For some reason there has been an increse in activity in /vg/ compared to february and march this year, it will be a bit harder for /rlg/ to stay alive like this.
>>565850403>LUZH is a traditional roguelike stripped down to its bare bones — no loot, no leveling, no procedural maps. Two characters. Fixed skills. A grid. And enemies that will kill you.Huh, wonder if it's any good.
I wonder what happened to that anon who was developing a roguelike. I remember his game had spear traps that thrusted in and out and you had to avoid them, for some reason it's the one thing that stuck with me.
>>565861784I'm still working on it.There were a large detour from the original vision and I had to massive rewrites for it.>Proper proc gen to support quests>you play as a party of 4>class system (goal is to encourage class mixing; i.e. proper fighter/mage and not just having a dedicated 3rd class called magus)>arpg item randomisationSince you mentioned the spear traps, I'm actually quite split on it returning, since it's cute when you control 1 character but in a tight corridor of 4 characters it's a massive pain (which might be the goal, who knows, but it's not a priority)
>>565855593the karmic price of rejecting Prophet Terry is steep
I'm not sure I like the change to CDDA where you can't toggle skill gain anymore. On the one hand it makes gameplay a bit more seamless, but on the other hand there was some skill expression to understanding when to turn off certain combat skills
>>565869323>I'm not sure I like ... CDDA .. anymoreMany such cases!
bump
>>565850403>Caves of QudSo if 2-armed multiweapon fighting is worse than single weapon fighting, even when using a long/short blade combo, just how wide of a gap in power are we talking about?
>>565865134RIP King Terry, may he be riding elephants with God in heaven
I figured out how to beat Horror Giant with a melee build.
>>565874601Single Weapon Fighting at max rank gives you 2 attacks with your main hand every time you bump into the enemy. Multiweapon Fighting gives you 100% chance for your main hand attack and a 65% chance for each offhand to attack. That's 1.65 average attacks with 2 hands, 2.30 attacks with 3 hands, 2.95 attacks with 4 hands, etc.Single Weapon Fighting also gives you 1 penetration guaranteed on every attack. Basically you get to roll damage guaranteed on every attack, even if the enemy's armor is too high.
>>565878492Fair points. Is it worth having a shield, or should I go all in with a two-hander?
>>565880339>Is it worth having a shield, or should I go all in with a two-hander?Do what your heart tells youto do. Ideally you probably want Giant Hands and do both. I dunno if all characters have access to that or not though.
Roguè
>>565883065Maybe I'll pick up a second set of arms at some point, use a two-hander, a shield, and a dagger so I can swing my big fuckoff stick, block shit and shield wall, and still rejoinder and/or flurry by blowing every single skill point ever on this shit
What's the best version of Rogue to play?
>>565885039There is a back slot item specifically meant to give you extra hands so even True Kin can do it.
Are wings fun or so busted it ruins the game in Qud?
>>565890673They're kinda busted but only on the surface. They don't work underground.

>>565892780Wings are great to breeze through the early game You just need some levels for perfect flight and the world is your oyster
Any roguelikes with prose/writing as good as Qud's? I find the descriptions of things very pleasant to read and super immersive in Qud.
>>565900986Infra Arcana
Imagine how boring nethack would be with saves
Man, Golgotha was so much simpler than I thought it was going to be
>>565908743saves take the thrill out of it
huh
>>565900986I hope this post was sarcastic. It's so difficult to tell with all the blatant Qud shilling going on recently for the past few months.
>>565927351It was not bait/sarcasm. What about Qud's writing do you not like?
>Qud>pick Herman as my "pet">have him tag along with me for a little bit>get worried about losing him>park him at Joppa foreverHow easy is it to lose followers in CoQ? I'm getting paranoid about my normal human friend becoming lost in the caves or being left behind if I use a recoiler.
>>565939479I think when they die, they're dead.
>>565941000Sure but like, what if they walk around a corner and get lost (not dead)? What if I get really fast and start traveling at mach fuck, leaving them in my dust? Will they always just appear on my screen when I move to a new area/floor as long as they're alive?
>>565942505They'll try to zone transition with you but frankly they always get themselves killed eventually if you're bringing them into combat areas. Follower builds should treat their followers as expendable.
>>565943892>tfw I just wanted a CoQ frenI'm sure Herman could probably mutate, if I dominate him. Maybe I could leverage his hivem- one human mind into becoming a mental blaster without threat of glimmer while I hack and slash shit
>>565944450Yeah you can take over your followers too, or even play as the follower yourself. My biggest gripe with pets is that they have combat stats, so you can pay money for extra power at the start of the game, which is very contrary to the game's roguelike roots.
Quasimorph is pretty fun sometimes. > Two damage boosting perks that just require you to empty your weapon to trigger.>Clone has two extra projectiles per shot, and one action reloads. Equip a machine gun, use the pact that gives unlimited ammo, and you get to be a Hollywood action hero for six turns. I.also didn't realize that the grenade launcher tracks individual grenade types after they've been loaded, which is pretty cool.
I don't like the Mercury quasis. I lost my most experienced merc on my first mission there to a death ray lunatic baron. Also Im just done clearing the mission for the Xiomara questline, there was a metric shit ton of enemies, is this what the late game looks like or does it get even worse? I don't even want to think about how long it will take to loot everything on my way back
Just noticed Qud has workshop support these days. Any essential mods I should look into?
>>565885253Vanilla Rogue? I'd consult RogueBasin.
>>565944450Don't trust how that guy looks, too black.
>>565960440Just don't relax and you'll be fine
>>565951132The story missions are absolutely on the heavy side, but not that far off from late game. I often don't bother looting anything other than implants, food and ammo after filling the pod and shuttle.
>>565877661Nice work, anon.

>>565951132Why trigger the baron if you're not ready to baron hunt?
so I want some opinion on party members leveling up>A: you control everything>B: they do their own things but tell you ahead of time what they are gonna level upB sounds more roguelike but it does penalize party members acquired later (unless you get to customize them too, but that sort of homogenize every character to just a level 1 shell)

Hey everyone, I was in one of the generals a few months back and posted my game Twilight of Bronze, we just released on Steam a little over a week ago, still free on Itch if you want to give it a play test, theres also a disc if you want to discuss the game therehttps://roguebasin.com/index.php/Twilight_of_Bronze
>>566027719I tried it, it was AI slop to the fullest degree
What are some roguelikes to cheer me upI tried Infra Arcana but it just depresses me more
>>566027719>>566030506At that time you hadn't even bothered to check that all the mechanics in your AI-generated guide were actually in the game.
>>566027719Seems like my kind of game, will definitely try it later
>>566030506>>566030856It’s definitely a work in progress, I’m not ashamed of using AI, I’ve still put many hours into working on it, the guide might not be up to date because things have changed, when I get home today I’m planning on fleshing it out more, the past few days have been bug fixes and other small additions>>566031047Awesome! It’s free on Itch if you want to demo it out, if you want to discuss it, give ideas or share bugs that need to be sorted, our discord is open to everyone
>>566030770Problem with roguelikes is that you get a good run and you get excited but then you die and you become even sadder than you were at the start.
huh, this seems new, i havent noticed that before. car doors now have windows, and they apparently can be broken. wonder how that impacts stuff
>>566036879...and wait, when did car doors have any sort of capacity? i mean i guess that makes sense because they have those little slots to store some shit, but was that always a thing or just recent?
No Odyssey inspired roguelikes? It even has all the standard monsters like Scylla, Siren and flushed toilet demon
>>566037726My game has Mycenaean greece, but its largely non-fiction with a rogue style temple-rite dungeon you have to clear, it has mythical enemies at the half way point, but its played off as mostly hallucinogenic.I might make a fiction option later on though.
>>566037013They do have a tiny bit of storage on 0.H at least. Like 2.5L though.
>>566022642The disease book typical isn't that valuable early on as by the time you need it you can just visit the NPC who is guaranteed to sell it
>>566038807somehow I've just never noticed. guess you can store...a handgun i guess? I wonder if you can access it from outside of the car. also I had totally forgotten you can peek through curtains without opening them. that would of been really helpful
>>566037726I still can't believe they're actually going with those designs
>>566048409it makes me think of that "the mummy" fuck up where they accidentally released a trailer without the correct audio, only the terrible yelling track left in. like, maybe some intern forgot to send the right file and this is pre-cgi
A roguelike but it's fun and you enjoy playing it and after you do finish you feel happier than when you started.
>>566056695Literally antithetical to the genre
>>566056695hello, yes, fbi, this post right here
ive started a new game and it appears to somehow be...half debug mode or something? why is it showing me these stats? when i check my character sheet, theres no debug traits activated, and i havent used the debug menu.
>>566065145started ANOTHER new game and its still giving me debug info. new world, chose "play now".
>>566065145>>566065517Redownload the entire game
What does this do? Just make them not fight pirates/quasis/civres or something more?
>>566067029closing/restarting and starting a new game fixed it. i think what happened was i did a "play now" and it chose the only world without a character, a world called "debug", which makes you start with debug traits. then when i left it and started a new world, whatever flag that gets tripped stayed tripped on every new world i entered afterwards, despite not showing any debug traits.

>>566078196wear a gas mask and you'll be fine
>>566078196That's how machineguns sound in Cara. Yeah I don't know why they make that sound, ask Kevin.
>>566067582I think you get friendlies on associated mission start, on top of spawned QMs being friendlysomething about getting access to their tech tree too, but haven't tried yet because you have to eliminate one of their top guys which could be months of travel time away if you don't have Bram engine
>>566067894Huh, weird
>>566078196I wonder if DDA has any fart mods
>>566090403Depends. If it's funny or silly, that's against Kevin's rules, but if it's your creepy fetish then you're 100% allowed to put that into the game.

Anything like DF Adventure Mode, but with shit to actually do? I really like the granular limb-based combat, but it's really lacking in goals beyond "genocide" or "make a cool guy for your fort to maybe recruit/fight"

>>566133184i dunno what limb based combat means exactly but Stoneshard maybe? It monitors the status of sections of the body like limbs and a character gets a debilitating injury when you severely damage a part.
>>566133261Teleport/Phase/Teleport Other + scroll of recall
>>566133184>"make a cool guy for your fort to maybe recruit/fight"I've actually never done that now that I think about it. Would be cool to have a previous adventurer in your fort.

I'm awakening the Mars demonsThe RealWare plot twist is pretty funnyAlso I realised during this mission that Priya can stack turrets and robots with her perk, maybe it makes the class about allies actually useful >>566183802It helped me too but I still enjoy hoarding when I can
Speaking of Sil, I should try out that Sil-more thing that came out a short while ago.
>>566078196>>566083393That is specifically the sound of a submachine gun burst. >>566103557That's an M202 Flash rocket. They're absolutely brutal on structures.If you've ever wanted to reduce a building to a pile of ash in the minimum amount of time possible this is the method. Put one through a window. Maybe shoot the window out first.
>>566190056if you are into hoarding, the +4 stacks character trait is pretty bustedI remember you could do some shit like 3x6 alcohol, 5 packs of smokes, multiple morphine, stacks of repair kits, shitload of rations, multiple Q shardsjust that it's always been buggy that sometimes 1 unit of a stack disappears when switching characters or autosorting, but maybe it's fixed now

>>566274760>joecartoonHoly fuck, I'm old.
I found a locksmith kit in cata and figured I'd try getting the lockpicking proficiency.Boy am I getting a lot of mileage out of it. I figured lockpicking would only be marginally useful, as you can crowbar locked wooden doors open, halligan some locked metal doors open ("galvanized" ones locked electronically can't be pried open, but the ones with a "key" above their sprite can, or at least half of them), metal bars can be hacksaw'd in about 15 minutes for free or cut with a torch near instantly in exchange for fuel (which can only be carried in rather heavy fuel tanks).But lockpicking actually brings a lot to the table.First, the locksmith kit is only 0.1L, so it can be easily carried all the time. Which can't be said of all tools. Since it can always be in your pocket, it often eliminates the need to fetch your often heavy and/or large breaching tools from the car.Second, picking a lock takes only ~30 seconds. I think it depends on the devices skill and your perception, this is with 4 skill and 11 per. A lot faster than I expected, beats wasting 15 minutes sawing metal using a hacksaw. Of course, not all metal bars even have a metal bar door. But a lot do.And lastly, door locks aren't the only thing that can be picked open. Safes come in 3 flavors: combination locked ones (need safecracking and a stethoscope), electronically locked ones (can be opened using an electrohack in about 10-15 minutes), and "normally" locked safes - these can be opened using lockpicking. I always assumed that all safes needed safecracking, but apparently not. There's quite a lot of "normally" locked safes - like the armory in a police station I raided a while back had 3 such safes with a lot of ammo. And they open just as fast as locked doors.
>>566272441>>566272441Sadly I think that many runics just aren't good on the weaker weapons. A speed dagger sounds nice but a broadsword does 5x the base damage so there's no comparison until extremely high enchant levels which is a long way away (and even then might not catch up I don't actually know the numbers). Spear of slowing is a little better since you can kite with it but in terms of actually killing things quickly which is importantly later it's still suffering against the war pike. But that's probably what I'd dump since you already have transference and just lame things out. I think stealth without a heavy weapon for the sneak attack bonus is a bit weak.
>>566274760Climbing roofs is cool, but it has its dangers too.I assume you'd primarily climb up using downspouts at first, but zombies can easily break them so you might not have a semi-safe way down anymore if you're not careful. Grappling hooks are cool for climbing up and down, but they take a while to craft.Since we're talking starts, grabber zombies should be rare/nonexistent, but later on you should be wary of them grabbing you off ledges. Later, later on, some zombies could actually start breaking the building, so it becomes less viable to gather zombies like that.I think recent DDA versions removed the ability to stab from above using reach weapons, but you used to be able to at least.If you go up a two+ story building so you could craft a bit in peace, you can make a bunch of nailboards, set them down somewhere near a roof, then climb that roof and make noise, then read a chapter of a book or something. The zombies will walk around the nailboards and slowly damage themselves.I heard you could use the throw-while-peeking mechanic to throw things like fridges onto zombies. Like, by peeking out of the window using X and a direction key (not down) and then initiating throwing mode using "t". It seems like you can no longer throw really heavy things like that. But you can apparently still throw things while peeking down as well, so you could probably get some chunks of steel or rocks, then peek down and press t to throw them from basically complete safety at that point.
>>566277849>but in terms of actually killing things quickly which is importantly later it's still suffering against the war pike.yup it sure was, turns out 2 trolls and some dar battlemages will still cave your skull in beyond the transference heal if you go deep enough, who knew?
>>566280395So it goes. I wrote a bit about the value of the health charm when I posted the win screenshot, I think now out of the three healing methods (regen, trans, health charm) that transference might be the worst which is funny because I probably had it in reverse order when I started out with health charm maybe being the best. It just doesn't seem to keep you alive enough in tough battles and you can't really hang around to heal up to full later on. Regen does less for you in fights but being able to enter every fight at full without worrying about food or respawning is great utility with less investment. The more I play brogue the more I feel that "optimal" play is really boring, fishing for a runic is just worse than just picking any heavy weapon (except the shitty warhammer) which is likely to take you through the mid game so you can pick up attack staffs and useful rings and charms. I can see why lots of people do seeded runs to get what they want rather than playing random.
>>566275552sound. the benefit is not having to break/wrench a door open and draw zed aggro.>>566280038you can still just drop stuff, no need to throw. use / and the advanced inventory if you need to. just drop it into midair. im not bothering to climb spouts, i just keep moving till i reach a building with stairs or a ladder
>>566282496Oh yeah, you're right on both accounts, being quiet can also be a benefit if you're sneaking around.And somehow I didn't think of just directional dropping with D, d'oh. I guess it's still kind of a niche use, since it'd splat a single zed at most and you'd only have so many fridges to throw down, but sometimes every little bit counts?
>>566284049as boring and cheesy as it would be, a cinderblock on a rope would be a funny weapon. drop, pull up, drop, pull up, drop, pull up. i guess it should only hurt regular zeds so its not that absurdly exploitable at the start.
>>566286863That would be funny. Maybe it could even be reasonably balanced by either being really exhausting to pull up and down as it'd realistically be, or having an optional way to rig an electric motor for the job, but then you'd have to know some mechanics, secure the motor, battery, and spend quite some time setting it up.

>>566281074>transference might be the worst which is funny because I probably had it in reverse order when I started out with health charm maybe being the best.its really funny how either protaction or health charm + reaping is just a better version of transferenceit would be really good if you used it on a high single-hit weapon, but those take 2 turns and in deeper floors if you're in need of health that badly it would be safer to just hunker down for a moment than shove yourself into like, a Wraith, or some spellcasteractually, writing this down, transference is probably most suited for stealth, no? switch rings, blink in, hit, blink out, switch back, instead of what you'd assume would be its use (getting into a pack with an axe and healing more than you're being hit for)
>>566290702You're right, people seem to like warhammer, stealth and transference together. Instantly kills everything and heals you for 50+%. Problem is making it that far, warhammers are ass at regular combat, they're obviously good for single target mobs but against packs and summoners they're a death sentence. I should find a seed and give it a go.
...okay, so if you just start throwing desks and chairs out of apartment buildings, they stack. im 3 stories up, and that chair is still on my level. its on 3 desks. that...shouldnt be a thing.what do you suppose will happen if i step out on it? could i...walk to another 4 story building by just dropping enough desks outside a window?
>>566296151Uhh, are you moving them as furniture using G? I think the initial idea is deconstructing heavy furniture into items you can wield, and dropping that. Desks won't really work for that because they decon into generic planks and stuff, but chairs decon into chairs you can wield, they aren't that heavy though.It IS funny that they apparently float like that if you move them though. I'm not sure if you could walk on top of them like that, quicksave and try it? It'll likely prompt if you wanna jump off if you try, if you can't.
>>566300134i was decon shelves but they just end up as scrap metal so i tried just pushing a desk. it prompts me to jump, so i didnt end up trying. its still vaguely useful, you could use it to block line of sight in 1 square alleways before going down stairs, a bit tedious but its something. i couldnt tell if it was damaging zeds since only the first desk actually hit the ground, and theres like 30 zeds milling around, so no idea which one it "landed" on.its got me wondering however, if you can build two towers, with a gap between, and use that to climb since you can climb walls if theres two pieces of furniture adjacent to you. actually, now im wondering if i could of done that from the top and climbed down 4 flights on the outside.
>>566300541You could do that? Didn't know. Do you need parkour or is it something any survivor can attempt? Neat if you can actually build something you can climb using just two windows that are next to each other, and some furniture.Wait, you might not even need two windows if you push the desks out diagonally, just one might do. Although such a tower might not be very reliable, zeds tend to smash stuff around them when they're agitated.I wish there was an acid that used finer scaling than 0.25L per unit. With things like gasoline, I think you can microdose that by dropping 1 unit of it at a time to make a trail, then light that on fire, but that obviously won't work for dropping off a building since the fire would eventually destroy the building. If there was an acid you could microdose off a tower, you could probably get a lot of mileage off just dropping 3 tiles of it down onto the zeds from a window every few minutes.I guess keeping an acid zombie to repeatedly kill and succ the acid in a bear trap could work for an endless source of acid, but by then you'll likely not need to be afraid of a bunch of zombies.

where do you find recreational drugs/hallucinogens in dda? kinda want to do a semi-schizo hunter s thompson run
>>566381942 I usually find plenty in drug smuggler corpse drops, autonotes will help to find them. Otherwise I usually find the illicit stuff in people's houses. Also, I'd suggest going with BN over DDA, drugs are more fun there.
>>566381942I think you can also consume certain plants and seeds you can harvest out in the open. I've read about how some guy ate datura seeds and hallucinated an npc.As the guy above said, you can find drugs in fairly large quantities on smuggler corpses. You may not notice them normally often, but if you enable auto-notes, you can spot them a lot easier. The auto-note for the smugglers is called "Drug Deal" and the default marker is a lowercase pink "d". You can enable auto-notes and drive around normally for a few days, then "/" on the map to search for "drug".That aside, you can occasionally find city/town houses with junkie basements or greenhouses, with fully grown weed in trays you can just harvest by examining them. If you disassemble the cannabis plants you harvest, you get like 20 mari you can roll into joints, per plant. Quite a lot.
>>566383901I've tried eating a bunch of Datura in BN and all that happened was my focus and stats were too shit to do anything for 2 in game days

When you're trying out a roguelike you haven't played before, what do you look for that gives it soul, or tells you it has none? Some friends of mine were arguing about different Angband variants and how small differences made them feel fuller or more shallow.Thinking about it myself, I look for some kind of overarching story that can be told through gameplay or level design. Some newer games like Achra or Qud, they've got pretty ambitious stories they tell. What feels shallow to me (perhaps not to others) is stuff like Larn, particularly the level designs feel tedious. Everyone plays for different reasons though, wondering what you guys think.
>>566375139Pick a drawback and invest the extra points in Quickness + Photosynthetic Skin, you're gonna love the extra attack speed
>>566378327I started Priest of All Suns with Optical Technoscanner, so I can get whatever I need from shops with Snake Oiler and everything being identified. I don't have any other good cybernetics so so there's not much of a build aside from having a lot of money and shooting things with a gun.

>>566540274During EU night hours it speeds up a lot, it's much easier for the thread to survive at other times of the day. At late night/early morning hours it starts slowing down again. That being said, reaching page 9 or even 10 fast and falling off the board are two different things, it is entirely possible that a thread can hit page 10 in 20-30 minutes, and then stay on page then for an hour or even more before actually falling off the board.
>>566540274There's no need for fear-mongering, the rate of fall is slower the closer you get to the bottom. Page 1 lasts seconds, Page 5, minutes. Page 9 an hour yet the bottom of page 10 has lasted three hours without a post. That's your real metric. The schizo who posts once per hour doesn't want to hear this but he is just a retard and part of the problem.

>>566563754It's very much a mixed bag in normal CDDA. But then you use the Mythical Martial Arts mod and can punch things harder than .50bmg while becoming invulnerable with Viper Style kung fu
Which is harder in Qud, Mutant or True Kin?
read a chat on the hitman "roguelike" mode today and people were arguing whether it's a roguelike or a roguelite because it has meta progressionIt doesn't even have permadeathlol
>>566590351True Kin have better stats to compensate for the lack of mutations, their tonics heal more (Very underrated aspect) and they can change their cybernetics at any moment for more flexibilityMutants are harder if you don't have a specific build or combo in mind at character creation, considering how many mutations rely on MP scaling and you can reliably level up 2/3 of them at best
>>566592063Alright. Which is more fun to play?
>>566592193I guess Mutants let you play with more powers right out of the gate so you can try new stuff every run instead of relying on random treasure to build your character
>>566592193Ignore that guy. Mutants fucking suck in all regards except for picking Sunder Mind to powerlevel at the start of the game, and getting Two Headed so you don't instantly die to decapitation. Mutants get such terrible stats that you can't get all the skills you need, so you are either stumbling around getting lost in the wilderness or blindly buying artifacts to identify them. I guess the mutations are fun to screw around with, but the game is so much harder when you have bad stats.

what are we playing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV1jyVP21H8
>>566596526just realized you can combine megacity with sky island in dda, so that
>>566563754My first two characters that survived pretty long were a "novice martial artist" with high dex that focused on unarmed at first, but ended up using mostly staves with bojutsu, and then a melee guy with high str using weaponry. Unarmed can certainly be viable for clearing mooks and certain martial arts (like aikido) with enough unarmed levels can substantially improve your blocking ability if you suddenly need defense. Things like pankration can damage even highly armored opponents using throws. But some MAs are kinda bad if you have alternatives, like I remember not really liking karate, boxing and capoeira. And they're still just plain not as damaging as good melee weapons. Well, obviously. But it's impressive how much you can do with unarmed alone, and it's a good backup option.One thing I hated about martial arts with kicking attacks is that they, well, attack using your legs, which has quite a significant chance to damage your footwear. It's pretty annoying having to run back to your car just because you kicked a zombie too hard.Melee is great in general because it's fairly quiet, so you don't attract the entire reality bubble to your location. And obviously you don't need to manage bullets or cleaning your gun as well. You just need to carry at least one more backup option or a spare because damaging your weapon happens really often if melee is all you do, and you're not likely to carry the means to repair it all the time.Encumbrance is really important in melee though, you gotta really manage that. With guns, you can handwave it as you won't generally be dodging a lot, but dropping your backpack with the less essential things is really important if you fight up close. Another thing to be aware of is your block and dodge attempt stack. You can't really take on a lot of zeds at one moment because no matter how good your dodge/block are, if you run out of attempts per turn all hits go straight to your armor.
does head encumbrance even matter if its not on your mouth
>>566610815You can see encumbrance effects in the little box on the @ status menu by highlighting the limb.Head affects dodging and blocking. You can sorta gauge how much by removing your helmet and seeing the difference for the first dodge number. If you're all in on blocking attacks just with armor, you don't need to care much. But if you rely on dodging, you might wanna not wear anything that drops your dodging below around 10-12 for the first number.
>>566610815Doesn't it explicitly say that head encumbrance doesn't do anything?
wtf man this is a terrible start
>>566611653The box? Your fork might be different. It says "dodging and blocking is hampered" in DDA. Putting on a helmet also decreases the first dodge score on the same screen.
>>566611848Yeah it's nothing in BN, allegedly it's just to limit the amount of headgear you can put on but it already stops you from putting on more than one helmet
>>566611782Is that the broken cyborg start? Are the bionics you get actually random?Asking because I experimented with rehabilitating prototype cyborgs into actual npcs, and they always had the exact same set of bionics, similar to that list.Anyway, you probably know this, but I think your main goal on that start is removing acid discharge first so you stop getting damage, and then leaky bionic so you stop losing on the health stat over time.
>>566612261In BN you can currently take bionics just like traits and they share the 12 point +- cap with them, but broken cyborg bypasses the limit and you can take additional bionics on top of the ones from the scenario. So you can get +12 pts of positive traits with fewer permanent negatives. (Itchy thing is worse than it sounds, don't play low int and itchy).
>>566612261its a skyisland start, theres no fucking way im going to get a chance to remove it. i ended up shelving it and leaving the save/world for now, it seemed too hard to start with. i went to play a new gen instead for now until i get the hang of this mode. also, ive only been playing sky island for like 20 minutes and im already liking it a lot more. knowing im going to lose the car in an hour ingame anways makes it MORE useful, im not worried about just running down zeds, dont care if a tire pops, im ditching it real soon anyways.
>>566613967wait i just realized, it seems like its NOT megacity, so im guessing sky island breaks that generation. fuck, it seemed like that would be fun. the whole idea was to NOT ever have a car
This is almost certainly not the correct thread, but I feel like a lot of you may be interested or once played this sort of thing: are there many currently active MUDs (eg Carrion Fields)? I like the idea of a text-heavy PvP roguelike, but aren't really sure if there is anything like that actually still with players in this day and age.
>>566613967I wonder, you know how nursebots have a chance to start rogue, and can apparently drug you and cut a random bionic out on their own? Maybe you can find a way to stun and deactivate a nursebot into an item, and intentionally keep folding and redeploying it so you eventually mess up and make it rogue? Would that work?
Bro prison island prisoner start is literally impossibleWhy is there 5 brutes?
>>566614256I've done Sky Islands + max city size settings on BN. You want to leave city spacing above 0 though, because the initial start is "field" and you don't want it to take forever.
>>566622518nah, too old, im just tweaking the world gen settings instead
>>566620813Dont fight with them from the start? Also what kind of starter did you make? I do agree island prison should give 8 points, a lab or RBD can be easier.
>>566595416It's only hard if you go in blind and you don't grind overly much. The main dungeons are pre-determined so there's nothing actually that hard if you're ready for it.
>>566620813I haven't gotten off the island but everything's dead so it's only a matter of timeSome disorganised thoughts:>The brutes a lot of the time when you're running around gut themselves on the barbed wire so they can take care of themselves>but also set fires so you can also lure zeds into them >I would recommend taking Silat as a trait since tonfas are everywhere but also just try to get lucky and get a gun off a cop zombie>Get into the watchtowers with improvised lockpicks, there are big guns up there and it's easy to go tower to tower to find one, when you have a 556. or a shotgun it's basically overFrom there it's breaking into the workshop so you can get tools to make a raft but I can't be bothered, there's so much food in the cafeteria you can last there for days but realistically you'll only be there one or two to make your raftThe big filtering factor is how good you are at kiting.
>>566634998Nailboard traps are underrated too. Useful to spread them around your hospital or such when you are sleeping your bionics/infection off. If mobs don't know your exact position they will walk around in them and die on their own.
Is there any place where I could reliably find some of the bigger STANAG magazines? I assume the fun locations are excluded from the online guide.I found a single 40 round mag and a single 50 round mag in a military base, but I want bigger. The HWP is really nice with the 100 round 5.56 magazine you can easily buy for it, but you can't attach a suppressor to it because it can also shoot shotgun ammo and I guess that wouldn't make any sense? I don't know much about guns.Is there even any point in silencers on rifles anyway? I use a vanilla service handgun and a suppressed "m16 burst rifle". The former has 84 loudness and the latter 118. Both draw zombies from the entire reality bubble around the character. I guess if I silenced the handgun, maybe it'd have more of an effect, but why put them on rifles? Wearing those battery powered ear plugs or earmuffs is basically mandatory later on when screecher zombies start appearing, so not getting deafened by your gun is kinda moot.
>>56663933250 reduction is a lot less potential zed aggro in a city. but the real thing would be to say, put the -50 sound reduction on a gun that say...only makes 50 sound...like the .22 handguns or rifles...some thermals or nightvision, you could pick off a zed from 10 tiles away in the middle of a crowd and no one notices...
>>566639332Version? Found this in an island prison in BN, from a cop zombie :^)>reliablyoh well
>>566640541Hmm, I hadn't considered going lower than 9mm, since even that takes 2-4 shots to down the most basic zed even with critical hits. I guess it could be useful on a varmint rifle or something in that scenario.>>566642594DDA 0.H, none of the non-30 bullet ones are even in the drop lists for either cops or soldiers for that version. I wish you could at least craft it using a nanofabricator or something.And yeah, I guess "reliably" is asking too much. Just, a single 100 round mag seems to be a sweet spot for comfortably driving up to the edge of a city and deleting a large crowd, at least by mid-summer and below. With a set of 50, 40 and a 30 I find myself going through about that much before they stop coming. Not having to reload as much would be nice.
>>566643716Why shoot basic zeds?
>>566644063Why not? I'm playing a shooter guy with high perception and average strength and dex. I looted around 10k 5.56 bullets from a military base early and I think around 5k 9mm. Of course, now I'm down to around 3k 5.56 after around 8500 kills, but I know where to get more if I actually start running out.
>>566644692Blast away then. Perception gives you a good chance to (melee) crit btw, not even sure which stat is the best for melee.
>>566643716yeah, pretty limited because by then you probably have some other way of killing zeds, but i think you could make a cool scenario. sam fischer, splinter cell start. begin at the bottom of a lab with sneaking gear, nvg's and a silenced .22 with some ammo. or perma-night megacity, with the zed population modifier set to high so fighting them off isnt an option and making noise is suicidal. with the current stamina nerf on experimental where you cant really melee lots of zeds without getting malus, could be a fun challenge.
>>566623958>too old
too op? i hated that this wasnt a thing. like a really, really shit sling, just tying a bed sheet to both ends of a rifle as a sling. think it needs high encumberance, like, 5, to encourage you getting/making a real sling asap
>>566620813Not to be a bragging asshole but I've cleared prison island twice with a default all 8 stats no bionics no mutations guy before and then promptly quit and rerolled in a city because making a raft is boring, kite anything you can into barbed wire while hitting them and walking away, treat brutes the same as a normal zombie with the caveat that you CANNOT let them get an attack off. There always seems to be a hulk on the southeast corner hidden by a building so for the love of God do not alert him or else you are fucked, there is nothing on the island he can't smash through and he is faster than you can walk. I've always been fortunate enough that at least one of the zombified cops drops a gun with some armor piercing ammo (shotgun slugs assrape hulks), beyond that you can kill the sharks with any reach weapon because they are retarded and will just swim in place taking it.
Never been a swimmer in cata, could I in theory swim to the land? Killed most everything in my prison but now I need to build a boat.
>>566653182you have to basically strip and hope your stamina lasts long enough. just try taking everything off and doing a test swim, without leaving the shore too far
>>566653182If you're out of options or really don't wanna build a raft, you can try making a flotation vest. In DDA you apparently autolearn the makeshift one at tailoring 4. No idea if it really lets you swim forever though, but it should help if nothing else.
>>566653574>>566654672Well it's just the second day here, not gonna starve in a bit and I got started with crafts so I can probably make something that floats. If a starting character with some skill could swim, I only had to kill 1 enemy to reach water so it might be that easy if you invest a bit in swimming.
>>566655048i forgot it you can just tread water and regain stamina. every time i did it before i just swam till i drowned, never thought about just waiting in one spot
note to self for when i wake up: check if putting phones in a ziplock bag/shopping bag waterproofs them, like the divebag or whatever
>>566664941You mean in real life or in Cata
>>566643716>I hadn't considered going lower than 9mmNTA, but yeah .22 rifles fuck during night raids for clearing trash if you have NVGs or thermals. Personal favorite was the pump action .22 so I could save space by not needing mags. Never tried the .22 pistols.>tfw will never ever find a cp-33 and mags
Hey, haven't been on /vg/ in years. What killed /dfg/? Used to be a mainstay on this board.
>>566676779I vaguely remember something about new publishers and the globohomo agenda
>>566676779Lack of updates, loss of interest in the thread, some very persistent shitposting which partly lead to the aforementioned loss of interest, and last but certainly not least, /vg/ being swarmed by gacha generals and growing faster and faster, killing off some of the slower generals. All of those were factors that lead to /dfg/'s demise.
>>566677509>some very persistent shitposting which partly lead to the aforementioned loss of interestDamn, that's a shame. I remember it being one of the chillest group of anons on the site. RIP.
>>566677790Not all is lost, /dfg/ still lives on in /vst/, it's very slow, but still, it's there. Speaking of, the OP here needs to be fixed, since it says /dfg/ is on /tg/, when it's actually on /vst/.
I hate
>>566673426Not him but I didn't know there was a pump action .22

In Qud can I polygel a whole stack of throwing axes (from the troll fight) or will it just copy one throwing axe? I heard you can dupe containers but I dunno about other stacks.
And that's it. Thanks for the other lad who dumped I'm saving those. Have a nice one
you forgot to delete all those posts btw
Well that's kind of fun. I have level 6 light manipulation on a true kin.

>>566668879yes
>>566689710I just wish the devs actually developed the radiant faction system so you'd have more things to do than the dumb main quest

it's 2026, what are we playing?

im getting fucked filtered the FUCK out. megacity skyisland is balls, i havent made it once to the exfiltration spot. 30 tiles is just too run and gun.

why are they adding weird mechanics behind mutations? Quaffing mut is still a shitty idea it just makes no sense
>>566725830I suspect it's just to add a line on their resume
>>566730568so it seems
>>566730568>>566733332Also dilating the pool of "good mutations", since it's so easy to get rid of the bad ones and get a handful of good ones. Good luck getting rugged and clarity now..
>>566733739Half the problem is that even the good mutations aren't going to give you an auto win but bad muts can still just kill you or force you to burn an escape resource. It's still never worth doing unless you have 5+ pots and are happy with the slight chance of getting fucked still.
time to splat
>>566734447Pots don't seem that rare nowadays, I often have 10+ by the time I get lich form and then you might as well gamba a bit. More stats is more stats :D

>>566689873It's time
>>566695363I genuinely can't tell if this is supposed to show an accuracy buff leading the player to do impossible shots like curving over a boulder, or if it's an abstract drawing of a sling
>>566764825iirc it was an autismo debate about boulders in nethak where they block everything but you can still throw things to enemies behind them
>>566764518Never fixed the bug that left books with one page after binding them, never played since. I'll come back when I can make a library fortress.
anyone here mess with Weather Variants in C:BN? I tried it out a bit but it felt kinda lame since acid weather means you just sit inside until you have decent protective gear for it, it nukes zombies by the dozen and friendly NPCs/farm animals are too retarded to avoid it
i was gonna shitpost about how you can throw stuff over fences/walls in dda, then it got me wondering.yes, you can throw stuff straight up and hurt yourself. heh.
>>566748930Bright Nights, the worst controversy there recently is that some guy sent a PR for a "sparkledog" fursuit that got accepted.
>>566765771And the image is silly, a boulder that size would be like five tons and impossible to move. It'd have to be a small boulder of a light, porous stone, and you would be able to arc a knife or whatever over the top
>>566769286youd still be able to throw over a boulder of that size. just not accurately.
99% of my Cataclysm deaths are from being annoyed at bullshit rng and refusing to move until my dude finally puts down an enemy no matter how bad the injuries stack uphow the FUCK are you missing a fucking zombie with a baseball bat 3 times in a row you blind faggot holy shit, now I'll just hold tab until it dies and reroll because you have the basic motor skills of a mentally handicapped toddler with cerebral palsy
>>566770978because its grabbed you. its really hard to hit something hugging you. dont get me wrong, ill do the same thing and spam tab angrily as well, but your supposed to break contact, and let it waste action points walking to you, so its next to you but hasnt grabbed yet.
can zeds not tear down buildings anymore? feels like its been a while since ive hid on a roof and it started collapsing (dda)
>open CDDA>CPU fans start going nuts>accidentally hit announcements tab>sparks start sputtering out of the case>decide to quickplay>plastic smell as the world generates>FOV broken in terminal, switch to X11>burn hand touching mousepad>load in to scenario, escape burning house>first encounter is NPC in medieval armor casting magic spellsWhat the fuck is wrong with all of you?

>>566782782you replied to the post so the disassociated (You) is superfluous
I'm 100%
>>566775701When it comes to roguelikes I've always found it easier to compile them in Linux compared to Windows
does that one guy still play dcss
>>566797232Compiling anything is easier in Linux. It's like a developer's dream come true.
Deck building permadeath 2D roguelike that is faithful to the Berlin interpretation?
90000
Once again I am making the same broken build with the same meta traits in cata
>>566807969
>>566799698There's your chance to ask xhim
>>566807969deck building? more like DICK building
>>566807969No.
scenario idea. "neetmode". takes place entirely in a house, your bedroom has a metal door, cant leave the house. your dad is a hulk and your mom is a zapper zombie. you must survive as long as possible making short forays from your room to the kitchen and various supplies im the house, avoiding your parents as much as possible. not allowed to kill mom or dad.hardmode: you have guests over, extra zombie types. a female the same age could be represented by an eldritch horror
>>566816405actually all wooden doors, strong scent, so you can never hide. im thinking youll need to ration/strategically use remote control noise makers and their batteries to distract them long enough to sleep. like one solar panel and battery charger and a few smart phones you activate the music and throw to get some peace. maybe make it really cold so your rationing deconstructing furniture for wood, no clean water so you have to boil it (source in from toilet).actually might be fun to figure out how to construct this
>>566816405Sounds like child abuse scenario, not neetmode
>>566822262your character will be a 28 year old man
>>566816405>>566817428damn nigga, you live like this?
>>566823864*in minecraftalso holy shit it JUST occurred to me that you can negate the impact of climbing down and falling because of a heavy bag/torso encumbrance by....dropping the bag over the edge first.
roguelikes status?
>>566824706Oh, that's a good idea. If you're using a version where you can throw across zlevels (or does that depend on the "3d field of vision" setting?), maybe you can even throw the backpack upwards onto a ledge if you're climbing up as well.
>>566828646in that case you can just keep trying, unkess your on a timer i guess. also risky, but throwing across gaps so you can jump gaps
>>566807969DCSS Nemelex worshipper
>>566828751i mean, failing to climb up wont kill/harm you, you just have to keep trying. falling can fug u up. maybe tossing over fences while fleeing? but i dunno if thats really a time save
>>566828751>>566829554Oh, so the "you slip and fall while climbing up" isn't just the "minor failure" roll? I assumed there was a chance for a major failure as well. Good to know.Also, I've never needed to get across 1 tile gaps by jumping, but isn't there some recipe for placing a plank you could walk across? Can't find it in the construction menu right now, but I used it before. Though maybe it's only for crossing deep pits and not actual empty space. Actually you know what might work for crossing gaps reliably? If you make like 2-3 foldable extra light frames and just as many saddles (for being "boardable") and make a vehicle consisting of just them. One tile should be 2.5+1.25 L and 3.7+0.7 lbs, so you're looking at carrying 7.5 and 8.8 extra lbs at best with 2 tiles. Quite a lot, but you could probably deploy it, push it so one tile is hanging off the ledge on your side, then just walk across and drag it back to your side to re-fold.Too bad one tile gaps across buildings aren't all that frequent, but maybe you could use this approach to make moats only you can cross, you could just leave these things folded on the floor so zombies don't damage them in their unfolded vehicle state and use as needed.
>>566830217i saw comments on an old old commcommit saying jumping takes speed into account, that running could clear 2? but i dont think thats real, and havent tried yet.
What's the verdict on safe storage in Caves of Qud? If I place a random chest in Joppa (or anywhere, really) and throw my 50 copper ores in it, will any of it disappear over time? I'm seeing conflicting info on google, so I figured I'd ask here.
>>566842816NPCs don't actually access chests and they're persistent AFAIK, you should be fine
How playable is Adventure mode in the steam release of DF these days? Still the same repetitive shit it always was? Any good mods?>>566745224wtf this looks sick, how did I never hear of it
In cata, can you upgrade/change the wall material used for constructing stuff after it's built? I can't find a straight answer anywhere.I started a camp and figured I'd place a tent through the camp bulletin board as a temporary shelter while other stuff is being built, and then dumped a whole bunch of food into its calorie stock. Now that the tent is there, I don't see any option to upgrade the walls, the only things listed now are bed/fireplace/stove upgrades. I know I can go ahead and modify it through manual construction, but something tells me further upgrades might mess that up.Will there be an option to change the building material or should I abandon and remake the camp now while I haven't invested much into it yet?
>>566842816Put a chest anywhere and fill it up. I never had a problem.
>>566847475It's playable but it's not THAT different.
