nftyw posted:And now the game crashes when I try to load. These release candidates are just far too buggy to realistically play even a few days into. Version 0.8-2655-g944f932 is the correct RC1. There likely isn't going to be many minor bugfixes before the official stable release, it's more cleaning any remaining crashes and then pushing it out. I've been playing on this version since November 9th and no crashes, so.  e: That error is also created during a step loading the SDL tiles, a clean install is likely to fix it since it's not a build issue.

There's some new combination mutagens added, you have to pick up books from dead scientists to learn about them. Chimera is one of them, and I've found alpha and medical mutagen as well. There's also a chance that you'll head into one of those categories from normal mutagen, same as with any other base category. Chimera might be fun for all of you who play melee, it comes with a lot of defensive and melee mutations. VVV I think it's got something to do with the monster sprite rework. Different creatures with the same monster 'class' have the same display. Really tiny creatures like mice or shrews show up as really tiny dots, so maybe it's meant to be like that. Either that or a bug. Was this with a tileset on? Inadequately fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Nov 14, 2013 |

I kind of spoiled myself reading the commit for those new mutagens and there's some pretty cool stuff related to them. I think there's quite a few plans to go even deeper with mutations and how they effect you game, exciting stuff. If any one else has noticed there are 'invisible' critters currently. I found a mouse whilst targeting that isn't displayed by a character or on the monster compass. Hoping any one else knew more about this, or if it has something to do with GlyphGryphs plans for the critter display rework.

By the way, I still get the stupid bug where vehicles appear as the pink 'no tile found' graphics and have been basically avoiding vehicles ever since tile support was added, is this resolved in any of the recent versions? I'm using SDL 0.9.RC1-115. edit:^^ I'm using Hoder's, apparently. Should I switch? edit: Unrelated. Can anyone give me the lowdown on the "Targeted mutations" mechanism? My cooking is 8 and I basically have everything I need to craft mutagens, I already have two reptilian mutations. And which mutation branch will be least disruptive if I want to keep wearing plate armor and a barbute helm? emanresu tnuocca fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Nov 14, 2013 |

emanresu tnuocca posted:I'm using SDL 0.9.RC1-115. The targeted mutations will only give you a mutation in their category, good and bad. As far as specific mutations there's a lot and pretty much all have mutations that will prevent certain armours being worn. And the experimental is listed as 0.9.RC1 but is not the official RC1 and not uploaded by GlyphGryph, so I'm not sure what's happening. Does your game crash if you use '*' for the construction menu? I can't even get that version as Narcotic is constantly updating those builds and I don't think they're even linked to the github so I have no idea what is going on. As far as I can tell the experimental links are not safe. If you want the 'official' release candidate the one I linked earlier is it.

I don't think the current critter sprites are what the team want, rather left over from what a contributor added about a week ago and the discussion was that they want it changed. As for the tiny creatures like the mouse I can only find them using auto-targeting, I don't use tiles. I also seem to recall some discussion about it but I can't remember enough. GlyphGryph should know but he's been a bit quiet since November 9th when they did their photo shoot and made RC1 available. How did the photo shoot go?

It takes about 15 minutes to deconstruct furniture so it may not be worth it in some cases. I don't think charcoal is worth it because it takes forever to make.

Though, in fairness, where else are you going to get nails and two by fours from most of the time? It's safe and reliable and requires minimal equipment, I wouldn't do it for shits an giggles but I do find it helpful to deconstruct enough things to board up my base. Charcoal though yes, that's really irritating, you should honestly be able to automate the process somewhat, like a funnel for example, light a fire and it slowly smokes a heap of charcoal for you. Or even let you make big batches of it which take a few days to mature, like real life.

I think charcoal is worth it, if only for smoked meat. You can chop down a tree or two for wood, cart it back and save it for a(n acid) rainy day, then convert it to charcoal when you have no skill books to read. One chunk of charcoal gives you ten charges, which allows you to make fifteen chunks of smoked meat. Smoked meat is the easiest way to process meat into a non-perishable form, dehydrating it costs batteries and salt is too time-consuming to make. They're also talking about adding item durability and maintenance, so that should be another way to pass the time. I'm not particularly in favour of that, but it appears public opinion is against me on that one.

This is the biggest city/town I've seen so far (granted I probably have way less hours logged than some of you): I nuked a fungal bloom there in the top right. I found a garage and set up shop. The only way in or out is by the huge metal gate/door controlled by the lever which I'm reasonably sure can't be interacted with by monsters so it's a safe haven once I'm inside and has a lot of room to park my death mobile from which I drive out and pillage for days before bringing the choice loot home. I'm eventually going to head north on that highway but I haven't even looted 1/5th of the town so far. Mostly just the houses on the bottom edge and a couple of the stores immediately next to the garage.

High chance to get solid Melee weapons and plenty of good books. There's also plenty of furniture and windows you can strip for materials. In my current run I just turned the indoor pool in a mansion I've found into my crafting area, broke one of the windows in an adjacent room for quicker access and didn't leave for weeks of in game time as I crafted anything I could think of. Gonna get started on a death mobile too now.

Do corpses rot? The Cataclysm wiki is out of date, but it says that you don't have to butcher animal corpses if you're not hungry since they won't rot. Otherwise, I'm hoping I can get some charcoal since I got a lot of meat waiting. vvv: Alright, time to make some charcoal then! ...once I figure out how to. toasterwarrior fucked around with this message at 12:04 on Nov 15, 2013 |

Last time I ran into this a few experimental builds ago the meat was rotten when butchered after leaving it. And the wiki isn't just out of date, it's pretty much abandoned right now.

Animal corpses will decay overtime and yield rotten meat, though it won't affect pelts or sinews. Re: charcoal, you'll need to build a charcoal kiln (Fabrication 3) out of something like six pipes, a tank, and a whole lot of metal. If you want to get a ton of fabrication skill in a hurry, smash up some lockers or cabinets and mass-produce lockpicks.

There is a fun thing you can do with corpses. If you have the bionic that drains clean water from corpses, it fills up any container you specify, and doesn't prevent you from using the same corpse over and over again. Carry a squirrel corpse around and you can eventually fill an ocean. E: By the way, smoked meat isn't the only way to keep meat from rotting. You should be able to find plenty of pepper, salt and salt water in kitchens and grocery stores, and you can use that to make jerky. Long term, though, it's easier to make smoked meat than keep hunting for/making salt, because the only raw material you need is wood. A single tree's worth of wood can last for a very long time.

Anticheese posted:If only doing that yielded jerky as a by-product. This is a really good idea and it would also balance the water extraction bionic a bit. And looking at the wiki again it looks like some people have actually been making some effort over the last month to update things so it might not be as out of date as I'd thought. Best to check when each page was last modified though, especially as 0.9 just came out.

If you want to increase legibility and keep it mostly square increase the letter height slightly over width, might help depending on your font.

I believe animal empathy is currently not functional. With the over abundance of wildlife right now I don't think it's necessary to take at all. You can't go anywhere without being mobbed by animals, any kind of ranged weapon will kill most of them.
