Fuuuuuuck fungal infections. I was literally in the middle of crafting an antifungal drug and it broke both my arms and hosed me :negative: Now I'm driving around at max pain with two broken arms desperately trying to find somewhere that might have antifungals in stock and I can't even find a city to die in :v:

e; oh my god I'm the dumbest bitch ever, after driving around for hours then running out of tramadol I was looking through my RV to see what painkillers I had available and I spotted... five antifungal meds :downs:

It wear off eventually after a few days, assuming you're not still eating the meat.

You have stopped eating it, right?

I don't think there's anything you can take to speed up the process.

Yeah, I've stopped eating the mutant meat, and I'm by and large getting it out of my stores of food. I've gone from unnerving to concerning symptoms, which I guess means that it's slowly coming out of me. Because of the lowered immunity, I also constantly have the common cold.

I also discovered my diet of mutant meat, poo poo I find in cupboards, candy, and my rapidly growing stockpile of dehydrated fruit have all contributed to make my character a real life goon. I think it's a mark of honor that I've managed to become morbidly obese in an apocalypse.

So fellas, don't chow down on that delicious Cockroach bratwurst, it's actually not good for you at all.

If you think junk food intolerance is going to keep me from trebucheting the entire contents of a snack machine into my face, you don't know me very well.

Seriously, though, unless your town situation is absolutely dire, you have enough varied food to pick and choose what you eat. I tend to limit my junk food to pretzels, jerky, and meat sticks. Although my current character has the garden pots mod and has been subsisting almost entirely on carrots and tomatoes.

I'm finding it really hard to goon it up in the latest experimental patches. Used to be you could eat two entire pizzas and a 2L bottle of soda without flinching, but now when I settle down in a place for any length of time, the first thing I craft is a mop. It seems a whole lot less food will have you stuff to bursting and throwing up like Mr. Creosote.

That's aside from the extra vomiting from antibiotics. Tried to cauterize a wound out in the field rather than drive back home, and apparently it immediately turned infected? Is that a new thing?

Took a single dose of antibiotics, intending to take one every 12 hours - which is how I think they're supposed to work in Cata - but apparently a single dose completely cured the infection overnight. Just like the doctors recommend - if you feel better after taking your antibiotics, just stop!

Left me vomiting for 24 hours from taking a single pill, mind. Hence the mop.

Glad to see all that work on making the game serious and realistic isn't in vain.

Cauterizing always progressed the infection on a failure, but at some point they drastically increased the degree to which it does so. So cauterization is, as far as I can tell, utterly useless now. Instead, you want to craft cattail jelly and use that to clean blue bites. It’s trivial to make, takes nothing but cattails, and is in several survival books.

You can antiseptic deep wounds to avoid the infection altogether, which is why its worth it to hold onto that antiseptic from a first aid kit.

It's a good thing this game doesn't simulate dying of impacted bowels because actually living on MREs is cruel and unusual. We had this brilliant weight saving idea of eating nothing but MREs for a two week backpacking trip. The resulting Godzilla dump I took a day or two after we got back almost ended me. Not to mention waking yourself up in the middle of the night because you just Dutch ovened yourself with the most hideous flatuence to ever leak between a pair of buttcheeks.

Apparently the Pythagorean theorem is real in Cataclysm, which is highly irregular for roguelikes. I just noticed this now, that diagonal movements take almost 50 percent longer

I mean who doesn't get slowed down when they aren't moving in one of the cardinal directions? I remember fondly the many footraces humankind has had to reschedule when it was discovered that some fool had set the starting line on a southeasternly vector.

Don't trust the liberals,

Circular distances use Pythagorean to increase the movement cost of diagonals, I'm not sure if that stacks by summing or multiplying the movement cost of difficult terrain.
I thought it was off by default, should be in the world options somewhere.

It is highly irregular for roguelikes but as Kevin said when it was brought up in a PR, I don't much care what other roguelikes do, especially since I don't
consider dda to be a roguelike.

And weirdly, zombies seem to go for the diagonals more than orthoganals. I often do the 'kite zombies into a fire' thing early on, and they really seek to go into them diagonally.

Is there some bug that makes all labs the one-floor office kind? I've been to like eight in a row with that kind of setup and not a one with an autodoc.

One is called “lab” and the other is called “science lab”. I think the 1 floor variant is “lab” but don’t quote me on that.

Autodocs also spawn in at least one doctors office layout so that’s an option.

I've found at least 2 auto docs in basements, in some rooms slightly hidden behind the fridges.

If you do it quickly you can do a cauterization, then if that fails do a disinfectant cleaning and not worry, if you really gotta stretch your stocks. It is time sensitive though, so be careful, you don't want to wait a few hours then try, or the wound will go to infection right away if it fails.



God wound care is so dumb in this.

I've never had to cauterize because I always had disinfectant/booze available.

Like someone posted earlier, I always just bathe in cattail jelly after outings where I take any damage. As soon as you get the recipe, you have no excuse for ever getting infected.
