Ahh, yes. The Inuit solution to snow-blindness. Good item idea! Speaking of which, I’m of the mindset that winter should impose a heavier penalty than -1 perception due to combined efforts of sun and snow. I have no idea how to code that and this isn’t enough of an idea to start a whole thread over.

It’d certainly go well with the rest of the lighting overhaul, which is currently confusing me as I haven’t adapted to it as a player yet. Cool though.

884

At minimum, having snowy conditions cause glare in lower lighting than sunglare would work.

EDIT: Well, went ahead with that idea. And added more uses for blackpowder, plus making it autolearned. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/12647

885

Encumbrance nerf landed. Expect light items to become not-so-light. Anything that “(fits)” below 20 encumbrance will have encumbrance reduced by half instead of 10.

886

Ah, that shall affect my testing of min-maxing storage. ;w;

EDIT: And after a whopping 6 out of 8 failed commits, a thing mainlining some coke content from More Survival Tools, plus a couple related additions, has merged. Yay.

Also, now we can have samurai women with proper chest bindings, if that’s your thing. owo

887

I’m fairly certain this is new but I can’t find when it was added: logging onto the evac shelter computer and choosing ‘Contact Us’ will mark the nearest refugee center on your map.

888

Meth. Not even once.

889

I just had a tough zomby grab me and prevent me from running away.

Awesome!

890

Fun. Meanwhile I have another PR up ( https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/12755 )
because I messed up a sprite assignment.

When I added wattle-and-daub walls, well…go ahead, see how long it takes you to guess what I messed up.

Fungaloid spreading speed nerf is in. Their breeding speed now scales negatively with number of creatures in the reality bubble.

To compensate, they can sometimes spore stuff in range 2 instead of 1 and will transform the ground much faster than before.

Also, creatures that would instantly die to fungi will now only take moderate damage.

892

Joy, friggin’ shrooms. :V

Guess I should really hurry with mah chemical fungus-removing appliance.

Right the insta spore kikll was kinda weird.
What about robots do they still die from spore exposure?

Nope, special cased anything not made of flesh, human flesh, insect flesh or bone as immune to fungification.
Also makes blobs and more exotic nethers immune.

896

Awesome. Thank you.

897

There now is a chemical thrower with a new anti-fungal ammo in the game. Works much like the flamethrowers, except that it creates clouds of gas at the target location that remove fungal terrain and kill fungal monsters (yes, also spires and the like).

898

Neat, will be fun to test that out.

In other news, thank you to Bevapdin for tweaking a thing that allows overriding overmap_specials now.

899

There’s now a mod that replaces the multitude of real guns with a more “game-like” selection of generic gun types.
Small fix, the effect where light wakes you up is now based on light at your location instead of global light level, so if you shut yourself in a building away from windows, or with the curtains closed you won’t be woken up at dawn.

I don’t recall there being one. In fact, the vanilla hunger system works iin just the opposite way:

Speaking of which, thanks to Coolthuhu for fixing tazers in a recent PR! It’s time to farm police bots with reckless abandon. :smiley:
