So I just stumbled across a Master Zombie for the first time, and it turned a regular zombie into a zombie dog.

You can turn static mode off in the options, but I'm finding spears to be really solid in static mode. If you can find a steak knife or something at the start of the game, the knife spear is great.

The tutorial is a self-contained thing that you're meant to quit once you're done. You can toss a grenade at a wall and escape to FREEDOM if you so choose, but you really should just start a new game.

You pick up stuff from display racks by hitting 'e' and the direction to which the rack is adjacent to you. Weapons are fired by 'w'ielding a ('r'e)loaded gun and 'f'iring it, and hitting F gives you the option for burst fire on some weapons.

Have fun.

Is there anything else regarding clothing repair/reinforcement people want in the meantime?

Some way to modify clothing beyond reinforcing and fitting it would be nice. Stuff like sewing in insulation for extra warmth, or sticking some home-made armoured plating in something.

Fur as a mutation isn't stupid when you've got temperature as a serious survival consideration thingamejig, and those were in long before the DDA team took over.

+8 to dodge is loving stupid, however, and it is a drat good thing you toned that down.

I was also looking at implementing some kind of electrical system as well. It would be cool if you could power a building and turn on all the lights, and get powered fridges you can preserve food in. I think this is probably quite ambitious though.

Of course it's ambitious, but the game is in dire need of things to do once you've got basic survival down pat.

Gun poo poo

The best part is that the structure for this is already there in the code. The underbarrel shotgun attachment allows a gun to load a different ammo type (shells), and other modifications already change weapon stats in a way that you could justify different stocks, barrels, receivers and so forth doing.

Go for it.

If there's anything I can help with, please let me know. I'm just really sick of looking at the Cataclysm code base. :shobon:

Another thing Cataclysm sorely needs is the ability to specify equipment type flags in crafting recipes, so instead of specifying a million loving kinds of knife you can just say "a knife" (or is_knife), which should also cut down on things not being able to take tools that they logically should.

I just asked the Cataclysm DDA devs and chat room about why Whales isn't mentioned at all in the kickstarter pitch.

i2amroy posted:

they aren't important to the kickstarter pitch
so they don't need to be mentioned
while he is important
it's a sales pitch

The sentiment was echoed by a few other people in there. I think Roy is just some bystander. According to GryphGlyph, kickstarter ate the section that was supposed to mention the guy.

Also, Whales had to hear about the kickstarter from a third party.

Edit: A hasty mention has just been crowbared in halfway down the page.

Thats for the DDA build, the GDA build is here: https://github.com/JonTerp/Cataclysm-DDA

Also, no offense to Jon but I'm thinking of putting the Furry Body mutations back in. It was a useful mutation and I disagree with its removal because furries (if that were the case we'd have to remove all mutations). Is this okay with people (Jon included)?

In addition, if you have suggestions and bug reports, please use Jon's form:

Please ignore mine, its better if we keep the suggestions in one place.

Go for it. It was pretty kneejerk stuff, and a bit of extra warmth could be handy in the winter.

+8 dodge on tails was pretty goddamn ridiculous though, and should stay nerfed.

Edit: PiCroft's post mirrored on the new page. I can't find the new version on that page, though. Also, the list needs a bit of updating with respect to the new main DDA version. Are there any parts you need help on for future releases?

I was asked by the DDA team earlier today what tweaks might they want to pull in from GDA. As much as I've shat on them for the kinda skeezy kickstarter and adding far more bugs than fixing them, it does look like they're more than happy to reach out here. To their credit, they were pretty darn good at reasonably evaluating the tweaks I presented, and I know that at the very least shelter kits got their volume dropped as a result.

In a community filled with casual homophobia, members pining for the lost rapey days of HellMOO (ARGH GOONS), and gun nuts, I can only imagine that some more reasonable goon voices can do the game some good.
