So, how worried should you be about the game spitting errors while loading into a world when using mods? Been using a handful of mods from the Kenan modpack on experimental and it just shits errors while loading in, something about "failed to visit member [...] in JsonObject" a few hundred times or so, do I actually have to care about load order or something or is this just how it is and I can ignore it? Everything seems to be fine once in game.

Just hit ignore, generally the errors mean an object type or description fails to load and in 99.99% of cases who cares. My most common failed to load error is for the description for newspaper or notes. If you are really wanting one specific error message to go away you can hunt down the mod having an issue and look for an updated version.

Agreeing that as long as it loads correctly don't worry about it. Likewise with random errors encountered throughout as long as it doesn't crash you're generally fine.

Hell, if its a json syntax error odds are good you can fix it yourself.

Failed to visit member... makes me _think_ it’s going to parse the rest of the file but that might not be correct because the JSON parser I’m most used to (Python dict-as-a-shitload-of-constants) will barf on any syntax error. Is one (part of) one of your mods not showing up at all?

I tried getting back into Cataclysm, training with books only to discover that its 100x slower now. Granted, that's been marked as a bug (previously training through practice was 100x too fast). Has anyone tried Bright Nights recently?

There's something weird going on with a tall office tower in my game. On one of the floors there's a square area generating about 600 smash sounds per tick and it's actually slowing my game down. Is there any way to see a log or something that might show what's going on?

That's part of the Hub quests isn't it? You have to retrieve some mcguffin from the tower that's infested with wall smashing plants or something.

I would if I could. Interacting with these vehicles (I've found a few now) is mercilessly slow and I'm not sure how long it would need to sit and work to remove that last piece. Or I guess c4 it, but for some reason they are crazy resistant to damage.

So what's up with the new electric grid system? Well, new since I last played much. It says it doesn't work right now but how is it intended to be used once it's up and going?

Its been there for at least a year or so. I wouldn't be tooo hopeful about it but I may be wrong.

BN has an electrical grid system based on map-tile buildings. Currently all it can do is generate power using solar panels (generally on roofs), store it in batteries (usually in basements), then use it in furniture (stoves etc).

Instead get a sledgehammer and debug your strength to something silly then just smash it a bunch.

By the way if anyone was curious about my bugged swivel chair problem, it turns out when a stronger zombie hits a single tile vehicle (chair, shopping cart, luggage cart, etc) it sets the falling flag to true and its vertical velocity to 500. It "falls" from ground height to ground height forever.

Is there really no way to use, activate, or eat liquids from vehicle tanks directly? With the exception of water with a kitchen unit or water faucet I mean. My 60l cattail jelly dispenser idea doesn't seem to be working the way I thought it would. Also my future plans for the goon tank involved 200l of energy cola on the roof above the driver seat, obviously.

# ? Feb 11, 2021 17:42 |

All I can think of is that there is now gonna be a change log to add flatness to drinks to make them unenjoyable to prevent hoarding of the liquid.

Okay this is bothering me enough to do something about it. How do I learn to do this modding thing. It should be easy enough to change I would assume. Like in my head it works. My bed is the hospital - I have a bunch of bandages there and I imagined having a giant tank of disinfectant there would be convenient. Like the hand pump sanitizer things they have on hospital walls, just hooked to a big fuckoff cistern so it practically never runs out. Also, a 200l megatank of dew riding on the roof with a camelbak style drink tube down in the cab. A floor trunk full of tortilla chips instead of a passenger seat. I can make this happen I bet.

Looking through the code, directly drinking is out of the question if the liquid is not water. But vehicle tanks are supposed to serve as "fuel" sources for other liquids. Like you are supposed to be able to reload a refillable lighter if you are on a vehicle tile with a gas tank in it for instance. 'A'ctivating should give access to disinfectant in a tank, so I'm wondering why it's not working.
|
# ? Feb 11, 2021 20:05 |
|
Activating should work if it's not installed. After looking at some comment threads it appears you can only use them as fuel/ammo/ingredients, but cannot directly interact with the liquid inside an installed tank without siphoning it out first.

I am not a big fan of the late game zombie evolutions. Like skeletal juggernauts and kevlar hulks either need to be harder or easier - right now they're just kind of annoying. Eventually you get to where you can mow down every type of zombie as long as you don't get too surrounded, but then here comes one of them. All that means is that you have to retreat to the nearest .50 cal and shoot them in the face. Or run into them with any heavy duty vehicle. It's an annoyance rather than a challenge. Unless you have hydraulic muscles and some post-threshold mutations, that is. It would be kind of interesting if they were harder to kill. Like one of them shows up and uh oh that area is now off limits except maybe some stealth runs. Maybe if you had a mininuke you could clear them out if the area was important enough.

Most of the big evolutions exist because it was very easy to mash together the flags of two enemies and I'm surprised there isn't a corrosive hulk or a heavily radioactive hulk that makes the area it inhabits worthless. These would not be good or fun, but that hasn't stopped DDA before

Telsa Cola posted:What mods? Any mod whatsoever that hasn't updated since a bit after BN forked. They changed the Ident field in mods to ID, iirc, and you can update a mod by doing a find/replace for "ident:" to "id:". It's been a few months since I've checked and the exact change might be slightly different. Pockets broke any item that used the artifact charging system (functions like ARTC_TIME) which were yanked out later, which puts Bright Nights at a good spot for compatibility. You can use modpacks made by other people that already have the fix applied, but both of the ones I know of are content with "doesn't crash the game instantly" for stability and Kenan's changes base game files arbitrarily.

I can't figure out how a bike carrier works, even going through the code for it. Like I can use it fine, but what is actually happening behind the scenes? Are the two vehicles considered one vehicle while it is attached? Is it just push/pulling the smaller vehicle? Is power shared?

It's a system designed to slow down the game basically. As you work you get weary which makes you work slower and also attack slower I think? Anyway it's another system to drag out the game to the desired 90 day season timescale without actually adding content to fill that time. It's also another reason to play Bright Nights instead.
