Weird. It should not work like that?

[Yukille]

1. Is there an up to date list and description of all the martial arts in the game?
2. Can all the martial arts in the game be learned after character creation?
3. What martial arts augment weapon fighting? I want to use a diamond katana, does any martial art give me an advantage with it?
4. Why isn’t this thread sticked?

[jokermatt999]

1. Sort of. Your best bet is to read through martial arts.json (https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/data/json/martialarts.json), it’s not too hard to understand compared to code.

2. No, I think the animal, venom, and weapon training arts cannot be learned. Search dojos for martial arts manuals (and boxing gym for boxing).

3. Eskrima and Silat work with diamond knives/machetes, but nothing with katanas except perhaps ninjitsu? Again, check the json for better info.

4. Because it’s practically stickied due to constant posts.

Hopefully Cooked Dandelion Greens can sustain me for my trip into the inner city.(or to the other city which is only a little bit further than the forest and has grocery stores.)

[Valpo]

if you have water make broth out of the dandelion greens ( i think its possible to do that)

it has a value of 30 instead of i think 20?

[Nickal]

Well. I’m moving to the “How did you last die thread”.

Don’t be scared by hunger.
Seriously, I went deep into “famished” (less hungry than “starving”, but more than “very hungry”) in the middle of winter forest (foraging barely drops anything in winter). This was before the oaks that drop tons of acorns were added. I recovered by killing a single fox, giant fly or some critter like those.
You can stay alive for a week or two without any food.

3. What martial arts augment weapon fighting? I want to use a diamond katana, does any martial art give me an advantage with it?

Ninjutsu is amazing for weapon damage boosts - it will double cut damage on crits
Brawling gives feint and knockback that can be used with weapons

However if you ever reach the point where you acquire a diamond katana, you’ll be so strong that you won’t need it. Every single of my endgame characters can easily wreck a hulk unarmed and I haven’t seen a diamond katana in game, let alone the forge that is required to make diamond weapons.

I once used a diamond katana with silat too and it worked wonders. It suprisingly also aplied it’s boost to a zweihander too if you’re planning on using one.

What can one expect to find in the sewers/subways?

What can one expect to find in the sewers/subways?

Near untouchable rats and snakes.

What can one expect to find in the sewers/subways?

Jack diddly shit except for the occasional subterranean critter or piece of trash.

[Nickal]

Please note I’m playing in classic zeds and I have a dexterity of 12.

Does it work for you? Perhaps i am doing somethig wrong?

It is capital M in advanced inventory screen we are talking about, righ? Moving every piece of single item at once?

[Coolthulhu]

What can one expect to find in the sewers/subways?

Food that takes only a single good whack to stop moving. Mutant cannibals who drop human flesh. Mi-go parties over corpses of soldiers.

The ocasional sewage “river”. And if you are lucky, you may find a connection to other underground construction, as a lab or an anthill. Unfornately, subways need some love T_T

So I found a Granade and it erupted into BEES!, which wasn’t so great… What was less great is that it took me long enough to think of starting a fire for the smoke to rid myself of the swarms, that I took Stung(3) and now my pain is up to ~2850 and will not decrease. below ~2600 My PC can’t sleep, even with copious amounts of painkillers, liquor, aspirin, cough syrup, etc. and it’s been 2.5 days with no relief. Is this character done for? Will the stung wear off after a few more days or weeks? Any ideas?

Granades are Russian roulette. One chamber has money, one has candy, two have blanks, one has rat-shot, and the last one has a bullet. You just got the bullet.

How do I use my integrated toolset (which has power) to repair metal things. I can’t activate it from the bionic menu.

[Sunflash]

Guys is there a way to increase the font size somehow?

I’d kinda like to play this on my 50" for giggles, but from across the room it’s too small… Editting the font-size in fonts.json doesn’t seem to work.

Sorry, can’t do that.
