I wish more roguelikes had revivable NPC allies like Elona. It's fun having party members but you can't do that in most roguelikes because they just die and that's it.
roguelikes normalized cannibalism but necrophillia is a big no nohypocrites
the fuck are you talking about, necro has a time limit, cannibalism does not
damn this didn't work as well as i hope it would
>>579951812What didn't work out well? I've never fucked with mining ever since I first started playing years ago because I never found a reason to.
>>579951912too much damage
>>579951937can they be reinforced or easily replaced? Only a few tiles is so shitty for a vehicle lol.
>>579952208roadheaders cost 2 heavy duty frames and 40 lumps of steel eachmaybe i just accelerated it too much, but the description suggests that they should be able to bore tunnels easily

>>579951812Some kind of mining vehicle attempt?
>>579960461indeed
my game is freezing for over a minute every time I eat or drink from the consume menu.
i am stupidyou have to turn on the roadheaders first
>>579962486So does it work now?
>>579962594it works scarily well
how long does the crawling flesh thing lasti ate a bunch of mutant meat and cracklins early on because I thought I'd starve to death as a carnivore in the lab
>>579965827Like a couple of days
It's been a while since I've been so thoroughly gaped by this game.Afaik this is unavoidable instant death.I mean it's only been like a minute into the game but man that's demoralizing.
how are you meant to destroy resin walls in a more reasonable manner
>>579974784There's a bionic that damages walls in a 3x3 square around you, I think that works
>>579973597That's alright, I got the latest BNs, put my usual settings in and am currently getting gaped every time I try to get a run off the ground.
>>579973597What few DCSS fanboys remain will tell you DCSS has no unavoidable deaths, but show them this and they will tell you it only happens 1% of the time so doesn't count, or say something vague stupid about using consumables.

i take so much damage when I try to melee, can't even really train my dodge or melee because I constantly get chipped down and get debuffed to shit from pain
>>580003396Yeah in my opinion, melee is left for when you're in RM13 or light power armour (depending on your preference) and have a bionic blade. Then you can just hold tab and clear everything. Before that you're way better off using ranged weapons since it keeps you mostly out of harm's way. Get a crossbow and most of your problems are solved.Alternatively, get a reach melee weapon like a spear, and use Z-levels to your advantage. That works too.
>>580003396What armor do you have? Can you make something better?
>>580006126idk if its bugged because its a mod item or its interacting strangely with my mutations but it seems like something that should just straight up block a basic zombies attack
>>580003396Melee is only viable early if you either get good armor or get decent armor and the fast healer trait. Although with the lethal zombies mod and other difficulty enhancers it's still pretty shit early.>>580006267I don't know if it matters in BN but your hands and feet aren't protected by that. I'm a BN player btw and I still don't know if zombies can hit the hands/feet/face/eyes/mouth lol.
>>580006267>Weight: 42.56 kgJesus ChristThe armor values look pretty good though, so I don't see why you'd be having trouble with basic zombies.
>>580006537>>580006727figured it out, I got light bones from mutated flesh aids and didn't realize. +40% bash damage on top of lethal zombies and not having very high melee I guess.
Whats the consensus on lethal zeds? Is it good or is it masochistic
>>580007236imo it's mandatory if you intend on using ranged. Without it those playstyles are too easy.
>>580007236I used it on my last char that had high unarmed and melee and used the bionic blade thing and it was balanced for that I guess. on this character that didn't start with op skills its a bit of a bummer. guns make it easy either way
>>580007070Light bones are really good when you get high enough level. The fey mutation line has the upgraded version, and I consider it a good mutation to have.
from roguelike to fighterlove
well I think I figured it out. put on more armor and an exoskeleton and am actually using a melee weapon now. didn't realize the post human combatives was weapon focused, I just pictured it going full on wrapping shit in tentacles and biting/clawing
some pretty cool loot in the military camp poi. thought it was just gonna be basic stuff. there's another sealed area too but I dont have a jackhammer or pickaxe, I'm guessing its a bionics vault since its very small.these miniguns look really sick but idk how you're supposed to feed them since turrets dont' shit out infinite ammo anymore.
>>580017720Miniguns aren't particularly good weapons, they chew up ammo like mad, don't have a semi fire mode and are inaccurate as fuck. If you want a hard hitting weapon, bushmasters are very good. Find a Bradley and take its gun, the 25mm rounds do massive damage and are quite accurate too. But the best turret weapons are still lasers thanks to their infinite ammo capacity.

final
https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/88517I don't know how to use that website, but that change introduced ridiculous lag when eating or drinking
>>580060628what is this obsession with mutations and cybernetics? it's like the laziest form of character development
>>580062556What would you prefer?
>>580062556Without "I don't gotta explain shit" magic it's hard to fit in weird effects and remain grounded. You can have more realism but it gets boring fast

neat. first time finding a place like thisdoubt it will hold up much to wandering hordes but might spend a while here refitting my technical and try to recruit this npc
Is BNs still crashing randomly?
>>580075342at least one instance of hub causing ctds was supposedly fixed in a recent update. I only ever had a crash if I would read or wait in a really busy area like a lab but I haven't had that lately. I did see somebody on the discord mention they fixed crashes they had by disabling some option or another but I don't recall what it was, something to do with the bubble size iirc
do npcs learn faster from you reading if you have higher int and reading buffs?
I have tome fatigue, roguelikes that force you to 'live off the land' and build your playstyle on the fly around whatever you find instead of following a preset build?
>>580082364DCSS
>>580082364Those are pretty much opposite design goals. It's not strictly impossible, it's just that foraging for berries in an expansive overworld has a different sort of goal and pace to frenziedly delving into a dungeon while RNG plays with you. Unless of course you're fine with "living off the land" meaning eating/looting the corpses of the slain, in which case any game with food mechanics would do.
>>580084282Yeah I meant it figuratively, as in your playstyle is driven by whatever items/consumables/etc you loot instead of a static skill tree or [obligatory exploit sequence].

damn UDP is pretty impressive for how much it changes your char with mutations. didn't even realize I had the beak, vines and leaves thing until i stripped naked. I guess it was the radiation from holding a damaged atomic lamp that got me

analchist
>>580127232This but neodays
>>580133240What's the difference?
>>580133493Aboveground, at a glance, not too much.Neodays has much superior lab sprites though, the floor doesn't look like cobblestone. Also, enemies and items layer their sprites above the tile they're on instead of replacing it entirely, which looks nicer.
>>579949530why did you post this picture of me

I love how some melee weapons are like>medium blocking 50%Than others are like>super elite strike>sweeping edge>ass eating demolition 500x>blocking invincible >super critical 5Lots the two handed ones are like that
>raiding bandits at night with my nodachi and very little armor>only get hit once, shot in the head but its lol .40I've found that armor just completely cucks my character in melee. I thought encumbrance only mattered if you got the little message saying you were overencumbered, but its like any extra worn weight at all completely shits on my stamina so hard its just not viable.
>>580147050The stam boost trait is required for it, that and tough for tanking ranged guys
>>580147349I didn't take indefatigable rip. didn't realize it was char gen only. next time I guess.
>>580147805Depending on mods I think cata++ or Aftershock has a mutation line with it, vampire one pre thresh
>>580146881Do any of the weapon mods have balanced weapons? Most of them sound like busted overpowered from their mod descriptions.
>>580150230I think some the melee ones get retarded, anything more than 40s in attack seems too much but I think the martial art matters more for bonuses

well that's not a good sign
>>580163035What do they use in the machete fights then?
I thought all the AI stuff recently would end up with someone slopping together a classic roguelike but no one cares about the genre at all it seems. Surely it must be an order of magnitude easier than the 3d demos people are putting together.
>>580163425bruh literally last thread
>>580163425lol? people wanna use AI to make unreal engine slop they can sell for 60 bucks, not f2p ascii roguelikes
>>580087884This one?
>>580076057>>580087884>>580164683Fixed, thanks guys.
>>580160839how do you even get rid of "being watched"
there REALLY needs to be "shitty spear strap" and "shitty gun sling" items that can be made with ducttape or just a jacket/belt/string. im fine with it having high encumbrance and breaking in one hit, but its such a pain in the ass to not be able to make SOMETHING without any tools in a house full of clothing and kitchen drawers full of crap. like fucking gladwrap. gladwrap wrapped/twirled around enough works as a shit sling.
Kind of nice not having to spend hours reading books.
>>580166140It wears off on its own, just wait it out.
>>580166149Can't you just grab a sharp rock off the ground if you need a basic cutting tool for the gun strap? Or you mean a zero skills option like the makeshift sling is as an emergency backpack?
>>580170215i could of sworn the 2 point sling took "a while" to make, but never mind. it takes 1 minute and its resources are kinddddaaa common enough that a shit strap no longer matters. but the spears still need one, since the minimum for that is 45 minutes. you should never want to use the shitty spear strap, i just dont like that your character really cant figure out how to tie a shirts ends into knots on the spear and make the most useless strap ever.

not too bad. he pulled a nail bomb and I didn't even see it but I avoided damage thanks to leaping towards him as he was running. jump is a really cool mechanic, I hope they refine it so mutants can get more out of it if they don't already

I think they absorb damage first before other stuff? running into cars is just gonna fuck anything up. the actual tanks in the game just use regular ass car parts aside from the treads.
>>580234878How do you actually use the paint?
>>580235095just activate the spray cans in your inventory and it brings prompts up for everything. for cars and structures it lets you select tiles like making a zone in zone manager. I'm not sure if the paint buckets actually do anything.

>>580159024Is there any roguelike where permanent allies aren't an infuriating waste of time? Every one I can think of you have to constantly micromanage everything they do so they don't stray off and die from trying to fistfight an ogre.
>>580247716Elona. In vanilla they can be revived pretty cheaply at towns so babysitting them is a choice, but with mods the AI is pretty customizable so you can save them from most stupid deaths.
>>580247716CoQ followers aren't particularly annoying, except when they get sucked into vortices and you have to jump in after them fast or they get stranded fuck knows where.

>>580074176i got inspired by your technical and decided to make my own
>>580255068I always got a feeling for a car bade the walls gotta be two tiles thick so they don't diagonal walk inside while im driving, does that kinda thing happen?
>>580255230it does lean like michael jackson, but there are some checks to prevent you from walking through vehicle wallsi've noticed that this safety check isn't a thing when you're grabbing a car to push/pull it, assuming you're strong enough to do it in the first place
>>580255509You cant diagonal walk out anymore? I remember picking up hitch hikers if I was going too slow and they could get on and stat eating me while I was driving, is that still a thing?
>>580255509diagonal walking is still a thing, but there are some safety for diagonal walking through vehicle walls
>>580255230>>580256415Both DDA and BN have fixed diagonal vehicle leaks.DDA doubles the walls visually, BN prevents diagonal movement.Dunno about TLG. I presume it's the same as DDA.
>>580256682>>580256824Thanks, i can build a cool tank now
>>580256682>diagonal walking is still a thingWhat do you mean? You (and monsters) can't move or strike through the phantom holes in diagonal vehicle walls in BN anymore. Like anon above said, that was fixed, and ages ago
What are good locations for vehicle spawns to use as a base for a apocalypse death mobile or a flying fortress? Do mil bases have good spawns? I know crit defense outpost have helicopters and stuff on the roof but last time I tried that there was various hulks inside who raped meIf i get the hover tank can that thing fly if its light enough?
>>580256943it can still happen. the check isnt perfect.also for regular dda, does anyong know about the fuimbling/oversteer mechanics being changed. why is a 4 vehicle skill character still driving like a drunk?
>>580261957>why is a 4 vehicle skill character still driving like a drunk?Because Mary hates you.
heatwave
>>580257943My first car is usually the first military vehicle I see on the side.of the road with all four wheels intact. The crit outposts seem to always have the medievac blimp and that is a great base since the crit airship balloons act like solar panels, and every one I've found has been in working condition. So its easy enough to fly away on. If you can't deal with the mobs inside try bringing a step ladder or something to climb up the outside.Idk about hover tanks but the hover apc can fly.
Tried the Prison scenario.My autism forced me to haul all the loot from the entire prison (yes, including the 50 or so orange jumpsuits) into a single room.Hopefully spending the first week doing this won't come back to bite me...

YEAH I lived! for now. no idea how i got irradiated. do mininukes just sitting in your inventory irradiate you?
>>580305479I don't use that sidebar but one is Health, one is Encumbrance, and one is Temperature.I can't remember what the S is for.
>>580318098If it's damaged I think so. Being near anything nuclear that's damaged causes radiation. Some non-damaged nuclear stuff also causes radiation.
>>580318756it wasn't damaged. plutonium cells then? shit is aids. wish they would have green text like broken stuff does to show its radioactive
>>580318953They might. I remember catching some radiation recently that I didn't understand the source of, so just in case I moved my plutonium fuel cell stockpile to a far corner in a closed room. Didn't get another tick of radiation after that, but I was also lab diving at the time so it could've been anything.
>>580318953Have you been fucking around somewhere dangerous?Have you picked up one of the radiation mutations? (those can get particularly nasty if you spend anywhere too long as you irradiate the terrain and it compounds over time).
>>580319730I was in a lab, but there wasn't anything that really gave the impression it was radioactive. the finale was a CVD room with a broken console rip

and it was a damn good outpost. got a few power armor pieces including an advanced and regular hauling frame. shame I don't think I'll be able to use it with my mutations but it'll go in the loot pile anyway
>>580369065>damn that sounds good but its super oldIt works fine, I never noticed any problems with the patched version off kenan modpack.The scrapper base spawned right on edge of huge fuck city and the guards ran out of ammo super fast, at least a couple are dead and I just wanna finish the missions because I don't remember if the base is a unique spawn.

Big newshttps://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikes/comments/1w8rbew/hengband_hd2d/https://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikes/comments/1vohvt2/silmor%C3%AB_shining_darkness_version_097/
>>580387981Oh my fucking god it's not only JRPGs that are getting remade into HD2D but roguelikes too now. I do wonder how the more ridiculous monsters look though.
we lost black anon some time ago
>>580350896I think the pump is supposed to be connected to the tank
>>580385843It really is the best trait
what's a name for a class that does Priest-stuff but is not really a Priest (i.e. healing, curing, buffing, but not really religious)Preferably not Shaman since I want that for something else
>>580389771Isn't that just a mage? I mean I guess the standard D&D wizard doesn't have healing magic but in many videogames the generic mage class does have access to healing spells.
>>580390284I just want descriptors for 2 kinds of mage, the more explodey kind and the more healy kind.
>>580390382Sounds like a White Mage from Final Fantasy, focuses more on support magic compared to the more offensive magic of the Black Mage.
>>580390469I'm aware but I don't want to color code them since it evokes too much Final Fantasy vibe, which isn't the intention.
>>580390561use other adjectives then.Support mage if you're okay with being generic.Triangle mage if you want to take the piss(because lol holy trinity).
>>580390561What about Vitalist?
>>580390382>black mage / white mage>wizard / cleric>DPS / healslut
>>580389771Druid?
>>580391903Too Celtic and animal adjacent for the role
>>580390561So what is the intention? What's the source of magic in this setting, and why is it divided into different categories?
>>580392340The intention is that I need a "class" that represents mechanically powers associated with Priest and Druid in DnD, but I want religion to be a parallel mechanic so I don't want this class to immediately be strongly associated with religion if the player makes a choice that prevents them from taking up religion, or maybe at the stage of the game where they haven't made any choices yet.
>>580392534Alchemist?
>>580392914Alchemist is sadly already taken for the drug dealer class
>>580392534But the idea is that a Magic Type A caster will be barred from casting Magic Type B spells, just like in DnD, or Final Fantasy 1. Right?Do you have any other aesthetic details thought out for this? Do people study magic, or is it innate? What makes healing spells different from harming spells?
>>580393256No, they aren't barred from different magic types. Even in DnD you can multi class and get both types of magic anyway.Type A magic is more arcane/studious type. It's called constructive/bottom up magic in the setting and the idea is that you learn what the world is made up (particles), how particles interact and rules to combine such interactions to make a spell. The spells tend to be element based, but not strictly elemental magic.Type B is more vibe/belief based. Either the person grow up with it or they get a sort of cathartic experience that triggers it. It is called top down magic and the person cast magic based on their experience of the world, without bothering with the miniscule details such as how the things are constructed. It tends to be healing magic, or summoning magic.
>>580393614Call them Thaumaturge and Witch
>>580394218Witch is probably the best so far
It just occurred to me that the male version of witch is just witch with the W turnen upside down. Mitch.
>>580315313Finally got my gear sort.I might actually be able to take a zombie in melee now.
>>580388264I thought so too but I got all the gas from the pumps and then smashed that tank and it had a ton of av gas spill out in the explosion
>>580397537Might be time to bail again.
>>580405483Woops, forgot pic.
>>580395702That's even worse than Warlock.
>>580408807That's the good shit.
what the fuck happened to cdda's worldgen optionswhere are all the various sliders
>>580410538Something seems off here.>>580418539They removed them iirc.You might be able to still change them through JSON.
>>580383470Yeah its called 50 zombies having a party on the first floor
>>580420490>You might be able to still change them through JSON.i see none in options.jsoni guess they're fully removed
>>580418539If Kevin can't control your fun, he'll just remove it
>>580426109Don't deadname Maya, chud
i hate cryo labs
Kevin should put his chopped dick inside his game
>>580426109damn, that sucks
>>580426805Didn't you add that with a mod?
>>580436546yeah that's thog's zombies. I just thought the screenshot was good, didn't mean to imply those only spawn in cryo labs or something. my power armor and resist cold spell wasn't enough to negate the temperature in floor 10and the finale was dogshit
so the way the morale change works is, the more children you kill, the less other morale hits will matter (both positive and negative)
>>third lab>still no book that teaches the serpent mutagen, only one thatt teaches how to make the serum which requires the mutagenaidsis it true that I can get specific mutations by eating different kinds of mutant flesh? thinking about eating some sewer snakes to see if that works but not sure if google is lying to me or not
dump
>>580436853In dda you can stack and activate all the temperature normalizing stuff and it'll work. I think I had the advanced nomad jumpsuit, the internal climate control cbm, and a phase immersion suit all active at once and I got pretty deep into one just with those. Pretty sure it wasn't z-10 though, more like z-7.I guess if you really wanted more heating you could wear 2 thermal electric outfits (full coverage) and 2 sets of the separate thermal pieces (suit, gloves, socks, balaclava). I'd mod the outfits and suits at least to use bionic or UPS power though, cause they accept medium batteries by default, and unlike the socks, gloves and balaclava they drain power pretty fast. Going just by feeling, I get the impression that if you have the first three and just 2 thermal electric outfits it would probably be enough.
Dragon's Sugma
laser gatling gun is kind of shit but fun. at least it trains launchers up though
forest fire time
>>580422301If you want to affect mapgen you should look in the regional_map_settings.json file where a lot of it is defined. Not as straight forward as sliders, but it's still possible to edit depending on what you're trying to do.
roguehive
lol 9m- WHATthat is just kind of annoying. those super alloy sheets for repairing are a pita to get
>>580471796Yeah they're a pain. But you can find them semi-uncommonly from dissecting certain common zombies, and there's a trick to always find which zombies will spawned with it by highlighting m:superalloy or d:superalloy in the item list. I can't remember which one shows it, but no reason to not have both active at once if you're looking for superalloy.
pain
neat>>580472194you know I never really bothered with butchering until now, there's some good shit on these special zombies
Where the fuck do I get tank fuel?
>>580477571don't they use the same engine as helis, in that they can burn just about anything?if it takes the JV whatever fuel, the military fuel, it can burn diesel I'm pretty sure. you can get the special diesel from military helipads.
>>580471796>crit gearNow that takes me back.. haven't played with that mod in ages.
>>580477953Oh I thought it only used the weird one, i think gas works too lol
somehow I managed to connect the braincells that's been lacking in my head and I finally understand Elin. Holy shit, this shit's addicting.
>>580478448Crack cocaine without the abhorrent costs, and an actual achievable endgame that lets you put it down afterwards. Gachas would never.
>>580477571Gas turbine engine, it burns just about anything that's vaguely combustible and vaguely liquid
>>580478627>endgamedoes it even have an endgame? the numbers have no end. the Void gets ever deeper, the monsters stronger, the items get better, the levels and stats gets higher. I can see why some players have thousands of hours in this thing. It's like Runescape but without the limits and slow-ass shit gameplay. I dread an MMO being capable of replicating this loop
>>580477571gas turbines burns literally anything, even denatured alcoholfor JP8 fuel specifically, look for helipads and any abandoned military vehicles
>>580478936That's basically an endless mode bonus. Only the truly addicted would keep playing after they've achieved everything and only have infinitely growing numbers left
>>580478924>>580479068Now I just wish my two npc guys would actually sit down inside the tank, its a relatively good condition Abrams but one the guys keeps going to stand on one the treads instead of inside the tank even though it has 4 seats, im not sure if its because one of the hatches it so damaged its stuck open so the seats are not actually enclosed properly. I rarely use npcs and vehicles, idk how to get the belt links for the turrets either
Anyone know if debug spawning a location will also spawn the corresponding mobs for bn?I want to clear some nasty locations without having to spend a year finding them
what's the best way to get rid of vehicles blocking roads?
>>580480672Just carefully push them out of the way with your own vehicle. Vehicle collision damage is basically zero when moving at 1 tile/tick and after contact accelerating up to 3 or 4 tiles/tick won't do much either. Better have a sturdy front though, things like mirrors are very fragile.
>>580481216This. I like to soften them up with a few 40mm grenades first, knocks off pieces and lightens the car, but mostly because it's fun and it uses up the grenades I collect but rarely ever use for anything. Caveat: Cars with intact tires can be pushed much easier than ones who've had too many of them destroyed by grenades.
>>580481505>Cars with intact tires can be pushed much easierIndeed, a strong character can just grab and move small vehicles if the tires are intact.
>>580481216>>580481505Isn't there like tow cables?
>>580481724Yeah but why would you ever bother? Just push the wrecks out of the way as you go.
>>580481724In my experience those are just asking to bug out and have the towed car careen into the back of your vehicle, doing way more damage than a gentle nudge would do.
Does CDDA also have the "going offroad does tire damage" mechanic? I know that TLG does, i don't know if i like it or not, for one it actually gives offroad tires and driving skill a purpose but it also forces the player to stick to roads for most of the game, basically turning cities into walls.
>>580483412CDDA added "going on roads pops all your tires" for some reason
the "being watched" debuff sucks
>>580483661you don't like spending 50% of your waking time vomiting, hallucinating, randomly falling asleep or having intrusive thoughts about ants crawling inside your eyeballs?
>>580483872Yeah, being watched by Kevin does that
>the chewing gum can go bad and rotwtf man
goddamn what a lazy cashgrab
>>580486557Kevin is definitely evil, he hates the players
>be elin>walk between meadow and that other one all the time>man i should just try out one of those excape scrolls or whatever>shows me a choice where to teleport>mfw i can just teleport instead of walking everywherei have no face, alsowhat's a good way to make money. my base has like one straw hut witth 6 beds and i don't really understand most of the mechanics. if i recruit someone, do they have upkeep? who should i recruit? i have a farmer for now. is there a "essential" to do list for a noob, like "build this, buy this recipe bla bla bla"?also i'm so fucking weak
>>580488094please don't deadname the developers
>>580488824He died?
>>580488584starting raising your farming skill, then make a blueberry farm that basically just auto-harvests itself and auto-improves with Delegated Farming, then set your shipping chest to prioritize receiving these blueberries. Expand your bases and dedicate a base solely for blueberries so that you have a constant stream of passive income while you do other things
>>580489191he took the troonpill
>>580489654And died?
>>580489740the post-transition ACK of regret usually takes at least a year, but I don't think kevin will do it. DDA lets him power trip too much
That fart was louder than expected
>>580486704tf is this?
are cracklins the most efficient food source?
Simply one of the best rpg base-building games that unfortunately is spoiled by a growing amount of content that depicts abuse and exploitation with no way to opt out. When I first started playing, I hadn't really paid attention as I mainly stuck to my home. Upon finding certain destinations and realizing the panties were not just a joke, I could not justify playing. I can look past anything consensual you throw at me, but this was anything but.Shame, the mechanics are unrivaled. I hope someone mods the abuse rpg stuff out.
>>580493604tldr on the base building?
>>580493604>rpg base-building game>content that depicts abuse and exploitationMad Island is not a roguelike.
>>580493604Free Cities: Pregmod?
>>580493037I feel like pemmicans are just better
>>580493604Pussy
>>580493037Endgame they are fine when you don't have to give a shit about your health stat, before then it's just going to nerf the shit out of your healing rate for no real reason.
>>580495083me after i get vaxxed
>>580493604>Upon finding certain destinations and realizing the panties were not just a joke, I could not justify playing.

i fucking hate bloated zombies and smokersi can't see shit
>>580492332the shitty "HD2D" "remaster" of Torneko 1 announced at the latest Nintendoh showingthey fucked up fog of war and I don't think they added anything significant aside from a streambait plugin

Giving up on trying to use this window on a laptop screen until maybe someone redoes it in the new GUI meme.Just found out that while you can scroll the right panel when it's showing part descriptions (even though it can't show descriptions bigger than one panel.....), you CAN'T scroll it when it's showing you requirements for repairs or installs.>just change your fonts, broI would if it didn't require a restart every time. Just gonna reference the hitchhiker's guide from now on.
>>580493604
>>580489580okay thanks. by auto harvests you mean i should have workers that do it for me? and what do you mean "auto-improves"?
>>580511247You know those Skills or Traits for your base like Tax Evasion? There's a thing called Delegated Farming where every crop you have in that base, once it reaches a certain maturity gets auto-harvested and replants itself, and then the harvested crop (if there is any) gets placed in any available container in your base and if there aren't any, they go directly to your Shipping Chest.You don't need any workers for that but it is recommended to have Farmer workers in your base to increase your bases overall Fertility (the total amount of crops you can plant in a base). Do take note that any self-generating item in your base, from the stones on the floor, the trees, the weeds, boulders, etc. deducts your base's fertility, so it is recommended to clear/harvest out those so that you can maximize the fertility in a base just for your crops only.If you harvest a crop on your own while having enough Farming skill more than 1, there is a chance that its seed can get a +1 (the higher your Farming Skill is, the higher the chance this happens), and it will keep increasing proportional to your total Farming Skill, and for each 10 levels of farming, your crop can gain a +1 to be exact, and the quality and stats that your crop give increases depending on how many +s it has (but up to a certain limit), while the more pluses it has, the more expensive it becomes and this increase in value increases indefinitely.Crops with +s also gain a bonus stat gain that is randomized at the start (when the crops or seed still has no pluses), if you like the particular bonus stat for the crop, you can use a sickle to guarantee seed production and make sure that this crop's lineage is preserved and that particular bonus stat gets enhanced further the more +s it gets.Blueberry farms are recommended due to its frequently high yield while having low fertility requirement compared to other crops. However, it is also recommend to have all the crops as each crop grants a specific stat
>>580512709thanks anon, appreciate the write up, i'll start with a berry farm then and we'll see how it goes
>>580513026I recommend tinkering with the settings on all the containers/chest/boxes in your base so that you can designate which containers your items will go to. It's also a huge QoL feature for inventory management because the auto-dump function in-game recognizes the container restrictions and any bags/parts of your inventory that you enable to autodump on will actually sort and deposit the items for you
>>580513359yeah it's a bit confusing at the moment, i'm more used to box system from factorio, in elin it feels a bit wonky
first time fiddling with arcana crafts, wish I had earlier. displacement surge motors are op. the rotor is both a rotor and an engine? I'm not sure how it works.
>>580522173Obviously the thing spins to generate electricity, which it then uses to make itself spin to produce thrust, which involved spinning, which generates electricity...
we won
I wonned
>>580511060I've been found out!(I'm gonna keep doing it)
Is there a place to find CDDA mods or do you just need to know a guy
>>580553520I think like all modern cancerous gaming communities, you have to join their discord and take the HRT
>>580555873That's what I was afraid of, thanks thoughWas mostly wondering if there was any essential QoL fixes the devs didn't want to put in the main repo (I heard something about fungaloids and car tires is supposed to be really bad now?) before I roll a new character to check out the portal dimension stuff they added
Lessons learned:>Don't fight a soldier zombie with a machete>Soldier zombies will chew your head away even if you're wearing a riot helmet>Probably carry one of your guns instead of just hoarding them at your base "saving them for later"
>>580556886wonder when the devs are gonna remove those RIP crosses because they're non-inclusive and oppressive to many religions
>>580557181It's okay, it's upside down, which is transgressive and subverts the patriarchal authority structures or something
>>580557181It would be funny if starting as a rabbi or whatever gave you a different grave graphic
>>580557181>live as a furry trans Muslim>die deadnamed under the Christian cross
Why does this site hate DCSS so fucking much anyway? It's something I've noticed for years now. It can't just be that the devs remove mechanics they don't like, CDDA still has a ton of fans with it's faggot devs that nerf everything and make the game infinitely more tedious. Are Crawl's forks not popular like Cataclysm's are?
>>580561505I just fucking hate attacks of opportunity, that was the last straw for me.
>>580486704I don't mind 2DHD but they have to not make it look like shit, his is just 0 effort garbage.

i'm somehow getting the urge to build my own bomber plane...
you can now finally jump over fence gates if they are locked. yay.
oh hey theres a new "booby trap" in one of those buildings that usually has good loot and nothing happening at. thats new.
oh and mi-gos will attack flaming eyes, and win. might be useful if you ever need to take one out and havent figured out THAT ONE SIMPLE TRICK (FLAMING EYES HATE HIM!)
>>580597603Why not simply snipe them with 60 range weapons. Ammo exists to be spent.
>>580599041b-but what if I need it later?
>>580600178You won't, there's plenty.The only stuff that's worth saving for Cataclysm 2 is the uber rare shit. I will never, EVER use a panacea, not even if I have 5 in my inventory and I'm currently dying because I grossly overextended.
>>580599041actual anon here, i figure this is something more useful for early parts of the run
are there actual safe and walled cities as the survivor notes' suggests?

>>580605635lol noAin't nobody got time for that
>>580605635tacoma if you spend hours of your life donating materials, the exodii castle, hub01 meteorology station underground months after the start, the isherwoods, and the new england church retreat are the biggest survivor "towns" in dda (excluding the refugee center)the old guard npc in the refugee center says there's a navy flotilla and cities being repopulated on the coast, but it's just fluff
>>580613060I wish Necropolis could get secured
>>580616639I wish it was worth visiting.
>>580613060>the old guard npc in the refugee center says there's a navy flotilla and cities being repopulated on the coastI wish I was playing that game instead.
we are roguekirklike
finally, now i can get directions to the castle
>>580623197Your character looks like a massive fag.
oh
>playing DDANigger what are you doing?
packing up my base so i can move into one of the cataclysm+ outposts down south. I really want to find a blacksite but I haven't been able to yet. first and only time I ever saw one was when I started next to one on my last character
oh fug, is this gonna be a problem?
>>580624724nah, their security is pretty crazy (all their turrets and drones use a reskinned burst fire .30-06) but the road on the left might get annoying to autotravel through if it's close enough that the reality bubble lets stuff start to wander over
Voguelikes?
>>580625619the X is a corpse pit as well, so that getting wasted already brought aggro from a few tiles away, the roads already covered in zombie bodies. i wanna draw the portal enemies towards the castle and see what happens.and that lighting system? i thought it was kinda useless outside of looking nice, but since the light actually changes as it gets closer to sunset, you can actually a visual whole screen warning basically, its kinda nice, and i guess if you somehow dont have a watch or a way to tell time, itll give you a bit of a warning. kinda neat. sunsets on the left side, for visual comparison.
Gazalikes?
>>580624724the side the tear in reality is on has no turrets pointing at it, or they dont seem to target it, so now flaming eyes are just stacking up on that side.also, if your playing my sweet cataclysm, i guess that room on ground level of hub 01, behind the intercom? since theres about 1000 mre's in boxes there, thats...uh, thats a lot of gum creatures. i can only imagine the underground section is going to quickly become 100% filled with them. i wonder if its even going to be playable sooner or later.
>>580624206>please stop enjoying things

>>580629791dont you mean unsorted zones
Any roguelikes that let you type shit into a terminal? Given how text heavy a lot of the UI is it seems like a natural fit
I don't like paradox magearchmage was a lot more fun and straightforward, you just pressed the nuke buttons off cd, the shield buttons when number got too low, and the dispel button when enemies glowed too brightPM requires juggling too much shit, barely works at all without hidden resources, and I probably should've gone shalore to make the most of it
>>580632450also it seems itemization for non-mana spellcasters is very cancerous in general
i know a.i. is currently cancer, but a "claude plays dda" or any of the forks would be cool to see
