Here's an idea for dealing with the game reaching a point where it's to easy and you've seen everything: events that happen on the world map after a certain period of time or certain triggers. It's been ages since I played the game, so I think it might already have some thing in it like this, but I'm thinking of things like portals to another dimension appearing through which progressively stronger monsters come, or sites where aliens land and then make excursions from. The portals could be tied to cultist groups in the game which could be destroyed in order to prevent them appearing or to close them, and you could use the missile silos already in the game to destroy alien spaceships, that sort of thing.

Current guy was doing pretty good. Managed to find a mansion and clear it with my pointy stick before reading some books and chilling out next to a pool table for a while. Then I found a military bunker but only had enough identification to get me through the first door. I used a LAW to blast some holes in the wall and walked away with my first grenade launcher which i used to decimate a FEMA camp before being overwhelmed. Last action was firing a grenade at my feet to kill all the zombies around me bammo.

After dying to bears and spiders like a dozen times, I finally managed to survive longer than a couple of days and fix up a vehicle to drive around in. gently caress zombies.

Yes, at some point Cataclysm stopped being about zombie survival and started being Pimp My Ride for the Apocalypse. It took nearly an in game month to get all of the parts, but I created my magnum opus: The Johann Slambastion Block X, a huge cube of steel covered in 25" semi truck tires and steel plating. It had spikes, but I found they couldn't survive the speed and damage. At a good speed, a collision causes over 6000 damage! Four floor trunks provide adequate storage, and the perimeter of the thing is steel boards, not steel frames; it's "completely inaccessible" except via the door and windshields, once broken. Except when you turn 45 degrees, due to everything being squares, you can enter the vehicle diagonally.  The very front is covered in steel plating and steel frames. You can only see out through the front, usually, and at a tiny angle, which sometimes causes fun problems, like when you get out and realize you've driven through the side of a house for a while.It's not the huge gas-guzzling death machine you want. It's the huge gas-guzzling death machine you need.

You just can't not love a game that gives you the ability to weld together your own Killdozer. Hint: There are artifacts in the game that will give you "clairvoyance," the ability to see through walls. It's definitely worth looking for one, especially if you're driving a killtruck like that.

My current strategy for making the game way too easy is scouting the roads until I find an operable semi truck, finding a gas station and filling a plastic bottle with gasoline, getting the truck going and driving at 16kp/h inside towns just running over all zombies, grabbing a sniper rifle and just doing whatever the heck I want. my current dude is rolling with a sniper rifle and a broadsword, feeling like a complete badass.

Well THAT was a lovely bug. I drank some water before bed, went to sleep and...died of dehydration. I'm pretty drat certain I didn't accidentally drink salt water or anything, because I drank enough to make sure I was slaked. I'm savescumming from now on.

Yeah, I've always found the rate at which thirst/hunger goes up during sleep to be a bit high. If my guy eats and drinks a full meal before bed and sleeps for 7 hours he wakes up almost starving, seems a bit off balance. Perhaps a slower increase in needs whilst asleep? I seem to recall some sort of CBM or mutation that prevents thirst going up whilst sleeping so it must be possible to put in. Strumpie fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Jun 12, 2013 |

Well my longest run just ended. First vehicle I built was a bike which let me get around without fuel. Later found a working electric car with no wheels near a broke car with. The electric had just enough fuel to get home but refused to charge in sunny weather, so I had to hoof it cross country to get my bike. Eventually found a gas station and loaded up a flatbed. Everything was going well, I fortified a garage and was tidying up burning the butchered remains of zombies, but that spread from the brazier and quickly enveloped the place before I could escape. Might have escaped if I would just have left the truck but had too much in the trunk. At least now I can try the new build as saves don't transfer.

I had no idea there was even a katana in the game. If they're going to be that drat rare then they should be ridiculous. EDIT: There should be two katana. A real one and one of those stupid replicas all the weeaboos own that does about as much damage as a pocket knife. girth brooks part 2 fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Jun 13, 2013 |

Hahaha, That'll be in the next build for sure. Regarding fire, I've gotten a few requests to tweak how long certain things burn / make them lighter to carry. The way the fire system works is it determines how long something can burn based off their volume and fire resistance. So the only way to make something burn longer is to increase its volume.

Jon93 posted:Hahaha, That'll be in the next build for sure. Although it would be kind of silly in the abstract, one way to work around this might be adding the ability to use knives/scissors cut up those worthless magazines into kindling with ridiculously high volume. That way you could actually get a decent fire going. Alternatively, don't logs become "burnt logs" with very high fire resistance after burning for a bit? Remove the burnt logs' fire resistance and jack up their volume, and the logs would burn for a very long time.

 Still need 3 more turrets to cover all corners. Anyone know if plasma guns use hydrogen already in tanks or do you drop them onto the turret itself?

Maybe slightly increase the morale bonus for food? Or at least make it last longer.

I snagged a large electric motor but it eats up too much power. Solar panels don't seem to do poo poo in this version either; 5 days and the battery didn't go up at all.

I posted this in the GDA suggestion box, but I thought this might merit a discussion: what about having creatures that only spawned during certain seasons? You spawn in Spring; maybe Triffids and Fungaloids could appear in Summer and Autumn, and then extremely dangerous super-zombies like Wights and Revenants could swarm in Winter. I think it would structure the gameplay a great deal, the way sieges structure gameplay in Dwarf Fortress. There would be a real need to spend the first threes seasons stocking up and fortifying for the tough winter.

Mutant snowmen that live in igloos and throw knifes and rocks embedded in snowballs at you in the winter, they melt into a strangely cold puddle in every other season.

Engine doesn't currently support seasonal spawn lists and I don't want to diverge too far from 0.6 DDA until they get stable. I'll mark it as a possibility on the suggestion list. Making the game actually interesting after the initial scramble for loot is high on my list of goals for GDA.

Static spawn would be a lot more interesting if certain zombies wandered around. Maybe have wandering hordes of zombies. There's no real reason to reinforce your base currently as nothing comes near it once you've cleared the area.

Are we posting ridiculous vehicles now? Here's my all-in-one hoarding vehicle, mobile home, and death truck in version 0.4 It has 16 tiles of storage (17 if you count the bed, in which I store rags and related materials), a nice big engine, and four fuel tanks to let it drive to the very edge of the world. The entire front is reinforced with spike plating, and the wheels with hard plating It has an arrangement of internal doors that lets the back chamber close off entirely from the surrounding world, with an optional transparent door at the very back to safely look outside There's also a headlight in the back to allow for reading at night, and it is full of everything anyone could ever want to survive forever  It also fits snugly inside garages, for maintenance or for filling with additional vehicle parts.
