lordfrikk posted:I was hoping that 0.F will be out before Christmas so I can binge play it again this year but seems like it's more work that expected. Is the current state of experimental good enough? On GitHub they still have 29 confirmed blockers, that looks like late spring release at the earliest. And they started planning for it in August, wow. I've liked playing the most recent experimental versions. There's a lot of things that make the gameplay more complicated, but there's also new things like functioning helicopters, a cool new hospital layout, and also significant expansions of both Aftershock and Magiclysm mods, both of which I like. For instance, there's now specialized augmentation clinics in Aftershock and a new shop type in Magiclysm that offers oodles of magic goodies.

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

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

Spoggerific posted: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.

If you are scouring entire towns, the panels won't be enough though but you can use them in conjunction with the reactor to reduce fuel consumption

Spoggerific posted:I remember several pages back people were complaining about laser turrets being removed. Are they still in as part of aftershock, or is it some other mod? And where would I find them? I suppose labs? Aftershock is the mod you want, and labs and military outposts (the places with turrets on all sides) are the best candidates for finding them, barring the extremely rare hornet's nest in town where you find high tech goods. With aftershock installed, one of the science lab computer-locked rooms is a "Weapons Testing" room, they are a good candidate. Other than that, you can also find them at the final chamber of some science labs.

Inglonias posted:Could have sworn the survivor suit was removed for being overpowered and unrealistic, though I would be happy to be wrong It's a lot harder to make with the new proficiencies system. If you haven't mastered the arts of advanced polymer sewing, garment closures, fabric waterproofing, and leatherworking, then it will take literal weeks of solid labor. Compounded with the new exhaustion system, it is not something you can finish in 5 days after starting the game like it was before.

The compounding effects of proficiencies are even greater on heavy survivor armor on the bright side I believe both varieties of armor are less encumbering than they were in the base game when the pockets are empty Mr. Lobe fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Dec 8, 2020 |

I'd definitely give it least a basic primer of some of the major differences between 0.E.2 and 0.F, given that they seem to be pretty divisive, as seen in this thread. Probably also a gesture towards bright nights as well as that fork seems to be oriented around resolving some of those dissatisfactions some people have with the DDA fork.

Sure https://github.com/cataclysmbnteam/Cataclysm-BN Unless you meant DDA, which is just Dark Days Ahead, i.e. the "main" version of the game. But it's still an offshoot from the original Cataclysm which is many years old. May or may not be worth talking about that history in the next OP

Spoggerific posted:Is there a way to put ammo belts back together from the linkages you find scattered around after firing them? I destroyed a turret and got an M249 out of it, which I've put on my vehicle. It had a few dozen belt linkages and casings scattered on the ground around it, as well as dropping well over a thousand rounds of 5.56, but even after looking through the item browser I can't seem to figure out how to get ammo belts. For now I guess I'll just load it with STANAG magazines. (a)ctivate a linkage with more links and the rounds in your inventory (r)eload partial belts with more links and rounds in your inventory

Spoggerific posted:Thanks, that did the trick. I was assuming it was done through crafting, but I was confused because the item browser didn't have any recipes to make belts. Your best bet for belts in the experimental version is to unload turrets from military vehicles and also the stray beltfed guns soldier types drop it spawn with randomly in the wilderness. Or, if you find a military base, then have some of every kind of belt in their armory

Climbing in an island prison start is practically required to survive. My strategy is to get a book or skill magazine from the room you start in and read it on the roof got a few hours. The dum dums will get most of themselves killed in all of the barbed wire, lol. You might even get a working gun from the body of a cop, which can be used to take out the hulk. If nothing else, you'll at least fond a lighter, which can make a fire trap for the stragglers Also the hulk can smash open the locked gun room if you lure him there

I think the comment was more about the lack of benefits to Meth Cocaine is still useful as a short term morale booster of you space out doses enough to not make addiction a serious problem so I don't think it's a principled opposition to drugs that drove that change but rather a overcommitment to a certain perverse notion of 'realism'

you can also hit 'f' to fire the turret if you are on the same tile as the turret mount. considering how accurate the selective fire turret guns are, it is a real treat to use one, so long as you have the ammo for it.

Respirator CBM really is the only countermeasure when it comes to making up for poorly spent stamina. Really, it's best just to be very cautious and risk averse, and never get into a situation where you don't have at least 1 clear exit towards difficult terrain, i.e. forests and furniture. Even without parkour expert you can navigate those obstacles better than them and make some distance. Alternatively, keep a path clear to an escape vehicle. A bike counts.
