Well this is a new option! And a great one at that! I’m gonna play it right now. Only on experimental.
And I put this up as a feedback thing for whoever else plays the desert_test.
Well, that went terribly.
Spawned in, no forests. The only thing on the ground was what you expect in the desert. Sand. But some grey parts were [e]xamined as “scorched earth”.
Spooky.
Ooooh, no I got to check this out.
[me=Inquisitor Dust]goes to download the experimental.[/me]
So, no desert trees? No towns? No cacti?
Well I spawned with a town and the f are mutated cacti.
Desert_test is just that - a test.
Atomicdryad got https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/5134 merged 2 days ago, and the desert test is a test of region settings.
Exciting stuff, i’d say.
Woah, put some pics here… this is getting interesting.

This is really uncomfortable to look at. Can’t play with all that yellow!
I felt that way at too first, my eyes sort of adjusted to it after a while. Maybe a darker shade of yellow would be better though?

BEEP BEEP HOMESTUCK DETECTED
…i’m one too. Still, I really think that picture is a wonderful illustration of what cata deserts are gonna be like. Survivors in silly rags walking across a boundless desert with piles of junk in shopping carts.

Recently played 30 days in the desert, was fun.
Two requests:
- Make cactuses produce some cactus plant (not poppy as now, so we can actually be survivalists with a “natural” watersource)
- Change the biome a bit. (Less bears, more scorpions)
Scorpions should die if they walk over a puddle of alcohol.
Because when your out alcohol on a scorpion it stings itself to death.
Also giant rad scorpions.
[quote=“Rekozg”]So if wildlife and mobs in general would be (biome?) region specific that would be awesome.
The other thing i would like, if the temperature would be really hot during the day, and cold at night.[/quote]
+1 this. Hot at day and cold at night, no water and food for miles, fewer loot. Desert can be the “hardcore” mode for the game.
I agree that moose and bears don’t belong in desert. And I really have to grab the experimental!
Oh, i downloaded the experimental to try the desert and i can’t change the region type. Did they deleted it?
Well it’s there for me… I DLed mine today.
