I am not amazing. owo

Did I miss some talk of Zombie Grenadiers and their many manhacks? Also, I heard some chatter on GitHub about a PREDATOR zombie that I can’t wait to tile so I can avoid in game, because come on, it is a predator zombie.

I’ve yet to encounter them. This is gonna suck, isn’t it? ;A;

It’s basically a hunter on roids. Lots, lots of roids.

It has a nice special attack that can’t be easily avoided with armor and is very hard to escape from, so it only spawns late in the game.

Also, derpy thought. Leather backpack needs 6 scrap metal in its crafting recipe. Not sure if you’re making crude fasteners, zippers, or what. :V

Probably.

I’m not sure why there’s not a hiking frame and pack, which would be made with pipes and leather/cloth.

Random_dragon · 2015-04-30T17:32:46.000Z

True. That gave me the idea of scrap metal being useful for pounding into grommets for a tarp in my current PR, but someone with a crippling vulnerability to Norwegians in steamboats convinced me that more duct tape is a better solution. o3o

Also, I should point out here that the standard improvised shelter uses a # on a green background in ASCII mode, a combination that’s otherwise only used by bushes and shrubs and such.

That has caused annoying amusing discussion when I based the lean-to in More Survival Tools off of the improvised shelter.

I notice the new microreactor CBMs in the experimental.
Is it correct that you fuel it by mixing up plutonium slurry and drinking it?

Random_dragon · 2015-05-03T06:39:47.000Z

Yep. Enjoying exploding.

Chezzo · 2015-05-03T08:32:17.000Z

Man, Feral Runners!

DeWolf · 2015-05-04T18:47:09.000Z

With the clothing enhancement system now available why can we not do something similar with melee weapons?

Valpo · 2015-05-04T18:52:44.000Z

because it needs a clever system which is not in place. As far as i know it the system used for guns is extremely meh and i heard the devs state not beeing willing to expand on that.

Maybe with a rewrite or something.

get to the drawing board !

Lots of work with a fairly small reward, other ideas being worked on instead, an unwillingness to expand already clunky systems, the fact that it’s a bit more in-depth of a change then just a simple one, no developer feeling like working on it at this moment, an overall lack of code-developers compared to the number of things for them to do; you pick your reason, just about any of them are a valid one.

The sooner I can make my zweihander menace with spikes of human bone and decorate it with hanging rings of copper, the better.

Thats how i usualy identify vampires… human bone ornaments. near me you soon find yourself impaled with a spear and double as a makeshift lever.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-04T20:09:05.000Z

Well, if we had elf bones I’d use that. Does that make me more trustworthy? owo

You d be my new drinking buddy.

perhaps from elf-a mutants?

To bad maier !!maier!! got tossed into lava or else we might have seen more of the lot-.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-04T20:33:40.000Z

And goblins. We need a good gobliny mutation category.

And dragons of course. owo

Valpo · 2015-05-04T20:38:11.000Z

Cataclysm isn t the place for !!science!!

Btw we better stop derailing before a forum mod desides to do bad things.

So here i ll toss in something i noticed lately:

An acid zombie. I don t know what it exactly does. But perhaps its a weaker/stronger version of the spiter for the purpose of evolution?

Random_dragon · 2015-05-04T20:42:13.000Z

Very well then. I still need to run a game to see the new varieties of zombie in action.

And to see whether my latest update to More Survival Tools has messed anything else up. =w=
