Ants/Fungi and triffids are all toggleable because they are generally and FPS dink thats not fun to deal with most times. Everyone should mininuke a fungal tower at least once though imo.

Molotovs are hilariously easy to craft given how useful they are. A 4x4 or whatever grid of fire will absolutely gently caress up swarms. Remember you can siphon cars for gas and use that for them.

Quicksilver6 posted:I'm not a member of any Cataclysm discords, apparently there's a lot of drama and toxicity between both DDA and BN. I normally like Bright Nights but I guess there's tons of slapfighting and evangelizing in public forums? The opposite is true in that the DDA coders tend to be shits which is why BN was formed. It basically boils down to BN wants to be an enjoyable game and so either cuts out the tedius mechanics or smoothens out the grind while DDA is hard core into realism even when it impacts gameplay. The other plus with DDA is that it has a more active development. Telsa Cola fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Mar 8, 2022 |

I'd argue that everyone should at least start with BN since its a more user friendly experince and then once they get the hang of it the general mechanics and how to not die and poo poo then they can move onto DDA and experince the new poo poo or whatever. But from a content perspective if you are a new cataclysm player either is going to keep you occupied for a long rear end time.

Jawnycat posted:If you enjoy more nitty gritty and mechanical cruft, DDA is for you like it is for me. I like what BN is doing, but I need my overly complicated pockets system and nutrition and garbage. If you'd rather things be more abstracted and simple with a focus on gameplay first over realism, BN is where to go. Similarly its always fun to figure out you missed a vehicle roof tile when it starts raining and you get soaked.

habituallyred posted:Probably the only way to keep the BN vs DDA slapfights out of that thread would be a separate BN LP. Some of the most recent updates with the boat cruise are highlighting the systematic suppression of things that let survivors make it past the midgame. So that nobody has to code an endgame. I am somewhat tempted to do a BN LP and maybe have it somewhat collaborative with 1 or 2 other people posting their runs. Telsa Cola fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Mar 8, 2022 |

DoubleNegative posted:This is making me think I need to give BN an actual earnest go. Playing on Experimental is kind of fun, but the more tedious systems keep repelling me. I get to approximately the point where I'm collecting loot and are making purposeful trips for stuff I want and then go "okay well know what." While BN is less tedious you will still reach that "okay now what" point Though with all the avaliable mods you can just set some arbitrary goal like having a perpeutal motion machine powered death mobile and dedicate yourself to scouring the labs and such for the materials. Another fairly okay goal is a working set of power armor thats fairly kitted out. There is also an artifact type that closes portals and you could call acquiring that you beating the game.

CK07 posted:Sky island mod is BARELY making it tolerable to deal with pockets, but I wish there were a way to make a new pond tile in my base so I could farm fish with a trap. Animal breeding apparently happens once a year so that doesn't seem sustainable, and I am constitutionally incapable of making my way to a warp point without filling up my backpack with a ton of incidental poo poo even if I'm trying to focus on just collecting planks or bodies or whatever. Chickens/eggs? Soon you will have too many (maybe I haven't touched this game for months)

DoubleNegative posted:Temperature from fire spreads to nearby tiles. So just like IRL, if you stand next to a fire, you're gonna feel the heat. Im 4-6 tiles away. And wearing a t shirt and pants. I should not be dangerously overheating, and even if I was closer to the fire, I still should not be dangerously overheating. Normal campfires do not get that hot. It is very dumb, unrealistic, and a bad design choice. While it's a good driver to get hotplates or whatever it makes zero sense, especially since a lot of that heat should be traveling up and away from me.

Naw they are great. Playing an Innawoods game with dinosaurs and megafauna on and started in the second layer of a cave. Things went immediately south, as the cave was infested with massive mole rats which were burrowing everywhere, and sometimes causing cave ins. Queue an epic, confusing rush in the dark as I tried to figure out how to get the gently caress out of the cave before I got eaten or trapped. Roughly half way through the cave the molerat caused a cave in which brought a bunch of triffids down into the cave (there was a triffid grove nearby on the surface). So now I was dodging triffids while I tried to find my way out. I finally found the exit, saw a bunch more triffids, and booked it. Weaving through them at a run. Probably one of the more fun starts I've had.

I'll hit up the discord and see what the situation with that might be. You could lead the way to a neat system. Imagine making a knife or whatever and being able to give it a super steel blade.

I, too, have turned around from places that gave me a bad vibe and most games can't make me turn back like that. I had a run like that where there was a town just filled with poo poo I hadn't seen, bigguns too. I rammed my deathmobile into the town and just blasted everything with .50. The big ones got a tank shell if they were too annoying.

If there was a zone order or whatever that basically let you hit a button and time passed as your character put poo poo into ziplocks or boxes that would be sane and good. But having a mechanic where its optimal (20% is pretty loving big) to put poo poo into ziplocks and making the player have to do that manually is incredibly insane. Its basically parody.
