An aeronautics engineering proficiency is also being worked on so you can, at minimum repair helicopters and potentially maybe even modify them

some wizard hopefully fixes z levels so we can snipe zombies from rooftops and dive deepwater underground caverns. if you try to make water have z levels you currently end up with a bunch of air pockets between the levels.

It would be really cool to be able to scuba dive to areas underwater like sunken labs or whatever. I guess one of the biggest things I'd like to see is lower z-levels rendered below if you can see them, maybe just darkened a few shades for each level separating you.

Given that Dwarf Fortress has been struggling for years with making something like that work, I think that might be a bit more than the engine and the developers can handle.

Has Adams actually been struggling with that, or is it one of the features that he doesn't find interesting enough to follow through with?

Metaphorically struggling, I meant. I don't know how difficult Adams finds it to implement, but backporting fake-3D visuals into a game and engine that were never built to support them isn't a trivial effort.

Qud was built around supporting environmental interactions like that from the ground up, so that only makes sense. Having environments that simulate physical properties such as melting points and even basic chemical reactions was one of the earliest design goals of the game.

Anyone else have some very unusual or unfortunate map-gen with the more recent builds? I've tried starting runs five times today and yesterday, and three had to be aborted because it uh... went weird? -One was a horse farm 'safe place' start, an 'easy' start because it had been a while. And the farm was... on a chunk of island. Like the entrance faces the river banks with no road, and going around the back the land just ended. -A second horse farm start got turbo-hosed by those random alterations to the map. Nothing like a four-by-four location having a Portal In, a wasp nest, a radioactive crater in the barn, and dead scientists so a Migo was around. -Starting at an evac shelter, I went around for a while just looting and running around (because I found a working mountain bike real fast). Found a mall and chanced going in, got to the roof and looked around... and I was on another loving island. One that honestly looked like an RTS map or something, because on this small island were two malls on either end, surrounded with a couple square blocks of homes and shops, with a forest going through the middle and the evac shelter right in the middle. (The best part was I went looking around, not a boat to be found despite there being like six docks and the new malls having weird vehicle stores that usually have boats). (The other two runs got ended by the usual rushing buffoonery or hilarious luck. Did you know that there are zombie tigers? Because there are zombie tigers and they have *no* problems having some spawn near where you start.)

I feel like there's been a lot more inconvenient bodies of waters in recent mapgen builds, and there have definitely been places where one map "sector" didn't align quite right with another and there were orphaned towns and HUB01s with no roads leading to them, and so on

Is it possible to make a boat from 100% innawoods gameplay, or do you need some supplies from civilization to do so?

I don't think I've ever seen a hub spawn anywhere near any other building before, let alone in the suburbs.

Does smashing corpses that have a chance for bionics, like shocker zombies, affect the chance that you can successfully recover those bionics?

The better the condition the corpse is in, the higher the chance of recovering bionics through dissection. For best results, kill them via bloodloss. Do not pulp.

same applies to hunting small animals with shotguns. if you can kill a turkey with a single birdshot shell you will end up with way more meat than if you shot it with 00 shot or had to shoot it twice with birdshot

Slingshots and other piddly ranged tools are also good for this reason when hunting small game

.50 cal is obviously the best choice for bird hunting. Usually, you don't even have to butcher the corpse, just pick up the scraps of meat. Great time saver!

Mountain Lightning posted:Cruise ship start? That new? How do you get it if you know off hand? It's a start included in the mod "Ships from OA Additional Buildings", which adds the scenario and Cruise and Cargo ships in waterways. If you would like I can link the mod pack I am running, you basically just have to drop it into your mod folder and you can pick and choose what you want.

Coolguye posted:What is so bad about the cruise ship start, out of curiosity? With default profession start and not changing zed settings: Combination of zero light, a bunch of evolved zombies, tight 1-2 tile width corridors, and locked doors. I feel like the metal tiles also make you louder but I might just be imagining it. It's basically the prison/island prison start but your options for running away and maneuvering are extremely limited. I might give it another go in a day or whatever, but if I was going to do it again id take night vision and bunch of melee so I could hunt and isolate single zeds to ultimately make a safeish area I could run into. Or maybe a start with a baseball bat or something.

Yeah, the prison start is the one I never truly solved. The loving bots on the egress are an intractable problem. The concrete walls are not bashable, even with a homewrecker, so you have no place to go but straight out, which is instant death. The best solution I came up with was to set the prison top level on fire and then try to hang out for it to incinerate the whole place, but the blazing fire will cook you alive, and if you go down back to your cell to basically wait it out the fire leaves your reality bubble and won't burn the prison down.

You can fool the bots by tossing poo poo, they will investigate the noise. Once you have enough distance you could sneak by them and then either bash or lockpick your way out. Or at least you could 3-4 years ago when I did it. I had it down to an art well enough that it was my preferred start for points. Though its somewhat depending on RNG. Some of my early posts in this thread are figuring out the best way to do it. Ill have to give it a go on vanilla again to see if it's still doable that way.
