[quote=“Womble, post:249, topic:5570”]Stimulants need to stop lowering the character’s tiredness. If the Stimulants condition can be made to temporarily lower effective tiredness, that would be ideal - otherwise, the raw stimulant effects oppose tiredness penalties, so the game wouldn’t be far off.

Dude you ever taken any amphets? You got enough you can stay up for a month straight, I’ve known people to do it.

Wouldn’t a temporary reduction in effective tiredness achieve this? You would have, say, 50000000000 tiredness, but your 80000 doses of adrenaline would make the game interpret that as only being 5000 tiredness, causing you to dream about your heart exploding…

Yeah, stimulants should postpone tiredness, not remove it entirely.

how about seasonal colors? Like, in winter the grass is white and trees are brown
in autumn we could have autumn colors.

Give spears and pikes a long range thrust similarly to bullwhips whipping.

True, but I’m just talking basic stuff now. Here’s a mockup I did with some random picture I had saved:

I think the white grass looks pretty good. I guess my point is that it looks like winter.
And it would be a nice change of scenery for someone who has survived that long.

I’d prefer it to start snowing more than just suddenly becoming winter and white grass.

I do have to say, I like the idea of the trees turning brown, especially if some stay green (You guys have evergreens, yeah?) and they turn orange first.

We dont even have orange in the game!

My favourite color is not allowed to exist in the Cata universe. D:

I like Bonevomit’s mockup.

Orange is Verboten? Or have we just never bothered to make orange shit?

John_Candlebury · 2014-06-20T14:26:01.000Z

Like in the game panics and tells you that this ridiculous thing you call orange is not a color.

That is… interesting.

Good question.

vache · 2014-06-20T17:19:11.000Z

Look up color.h in the code for the color definitions.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-06-20T18:06:57.000Z

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an orange anything in the game.

RAM · 2014-06-20T18:46:06.000Z

So… Is orange a needful thing?

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-06-20T18:55:58.000Z

Is the orange in the game orange?

Datanazush · 2014-06-20T18:57:49.000Z

FunsizeNinja123:

Nope, turns out it’s pink. The juice however is yellow.

Definitely. But I don’t know if its actually simple (it probably is).
