A recent version has overhauled the world gen system. While the changes may be beneficial on a smaller scale, I found that the function of resetting the world gen when you’re informed that certain terrain can’t be added … --- ## [Storing water in cans](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/storing-water-in-cans/13947)

Why can’t we? I have two tin cans, an aluminum can, a bucket, a river, two fire drills, thirteen two by fours, and a dehydrated survivor because there aren’t any bottles lying around.

Currently, when failing to craft an item, you just lose all ingredients, which doesn’t make much sense in some cases.

I like the concept behind the brightnights mod and was wondering if I could contribute to it with some simple json content (mostly buildings, dungeons and vehicles) that wouldn’t necessary fit with the main game.

I want to be able to lead animals, and to tie them in one place, but I can’t come up with a sensible manner of doing it. The only way I can think is using monsterexamine.h/.cpp adding a “tie” and “lead” methods.

We have a lot of animal interactions now, but even if an animal kills another they don’t really do anything like feeding on a corpse.

Hello. When I see the bear attack scene from “Revenant” I feel that hunting in Cataclysm is way too easy. Wildlife spawn rate is too high and provides the environment in which we can gather tons of meat.
