How do you prevent bunch of zombie from reviving other than smashing them and disabling it with the mod ? Does using molotov works ?

I think badly burnt zeds cant rez, but I’ve never tested it myself.

That said smashing them is generally the fastest way to do it.

Butchering them works too, and is my preferred method. Massive abuse of explosives can also reduce the corpse to meat in some cases.

Anything that does enough damage to the corpse to get it “pulped” will prevent it from raising, so enough overkill can do it, fire should be enough (though just setting it on fire doesn’t do it), smashing can do it, acid can do it, too.

Enough damage destroys the corpse… but smashing won’t do it, unfortunately, because I’m pretty sure necromancers can raise them, very annoying.

Necromancers can’t raise pulped corpses, only the mostly intact ones.

Basically if they can’t revive normally necros can’t either.

deoxy · 2015-05-09T07:29:02.000Z

Yes, I’ve been told that, but I’m fairly certain I’ve seen it happen, so I’m not sure about it. Now I’m going to have to set up a test with the debugger just to see… but not tonight.

The non-reviving mod seems to stop necromancers doing anything as well, so it must be based on normal revival.

Occasionally I would hear of a (something)(I forgot the first part) darkest days ahead mod. However whenever I try to search it I get zip. Does anyone know anything about it.

http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=10241.0 That’s all I’ve been able to find so far, and it’s merely discussion of an idea with no sign of downloads to be had yet.

It’s basically Cataclysm: Basement Dweller Mode. No sunlight for you. o3o

NO that is not what I was talking about I know I read it on the issue site but yeah I don’t remember the name but I know it wasn’t that.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-09T16:21:48.000Z

Huh, not sure what other mods would be using that name or similar.

What was the overall concept? owo

I don’t know but I think it had some sort of story to it but basically I read it on the issue voter.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-09T16:36:54.000Z

Hmm. No idea then… ;w;

EDIT: And now, a question: Will an active minifridge stop or slow food spoilage? The morale bonus from cold drinks really isn’t work draining the Holy Roller’s solar power if that’s all I get out of the fridge. owo

Sehn_Knight · 2015-05-09T20:27:39.000Z

An active mini-fridge slows food spoilage to 1/5 but does not stop it completely. Freezing environments completely stop food spoilage. Yet, if you have food in a mini-fridge with the temp freezing or below around it the food will still rot at 1/5 speed.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-09T20:40:29.000Z

Hmm. Now that I have my power reserves up enough, I suppose that’s good enough benefit to warrant using the power, but not ideal. I can at least further reduce power usage by only using it when I have perishable, non-canned goods. owo

Any tips for the lab challenge? How do I get out? Sometimes I find explosives but that’s just down to luck. there must be some way of escaping without relying on rng too much.

Random_dragon · 2015-05-09T20:49:09.000Z

Now to try and calculate how much power a solar panel puts out in any given weather…

Looking at the source code, it seems that a panel’s effective power output is determined by multiplying its base number by the sunlight amount, so if I could just get info on how weather and time add up to determine those multipliers…

You could grind up some trapping and disarm the teleport pads. You can then either dismantle them into portable teleporters or just plant them on the topmost level and step on them.
Getting teleported while underground is a bit risky and failing to disarm the pads will teleport you, so make sure nothing can disturb you while you work on the pads.

It’s all in calendar.cpp::sunlight()

Teleporter?
