What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

[Adragis029]

Directional EMP on turrets can actually cause them to simply ‘fizzle out’ rather than explode. But they often explode, still, so just throw your grenades.

Late Winter, Year 1

Ive done well enough. I have an intergrated toolset and 2 ways of charging it, I have a supermobile, and I have silat and decentish armor.

Ive got sufficient food for a season or two, and Im coming up on rifle skill too. I like slow learner, but the combat skills really lag behind what they need to be with it on. Especially the pewpews.

The unrenamed humvee sports its purifier, some upgraded solar panels, water, an aisle curtain exit out the back, an m60 on the driver’s side hood, and a grenade launcher that will be mounted on the back asap. I need 1 launchers, and with half item spawns I dont hold out hope of finding it with a dedicated search. Itll show up at some point, ya know.

This ramrod of a vehicle is completely sustainable for me, and Ive got the mechanics skills to match it. Getting bored, but building my car is still fun for now. Were going south to unknown cities 'Manchester-on-the-sea" being my current goal, waaay down at the edge of my tourist map.

I did move the engine in, the tanks to the middle, and the controls to the center so that I can walk on the steel-plated aisles without interruption. I plated them explicitly for ease of identification of what is a cargo carrier and what is an aisle.

The only other point of interest is a large cluster of size 7ish cities up northeast. I left them alone. Because the evos are out in force. Things like the sparker give my melee character trouble. nightstalkers are pains, and masters and necromancers do exist sprinkled around. The increased spawn rates I play with really help the zeds out.

Im mostly a slime at this point, but have significant amounts of beast in me too. I have immunity to disease, stronkness, and slimey hands and skin. I am pretty still, high adrenaline and greenskin. With my cat ears and animal empathy, I can really get around; though I smell. Not the most useful bunch of mutations, but no complaints here. The barkskin and slimeskin both really make rain a nice thing. slow learner plus bad temper plus rain hurts skill gain.

There is a brute in my evac shelters basement. RNG hates me…

Survived two missed shots from the main cannon of a tank drone, damn things even out of their sight tend to “follow” your tracks sometimes, ¿do they have night vision?

[pisskop]

in pks they have medium range nv.

in coregame? no

After 15 minutes of searching trough my files to find the CDDA launcher thingy that downloand the newest version for you, I finally found it and to make sure I never lose it again I place it into my desktop.

This morning I woke up and panicked when I saw half of my files gone, but I found them safe in previous_version folder.

EDIT: I am not sure if I posted into the right thread.

Put on my best combat armor to go knock on the doors of a Hell Castle. Let’s see how that goes…

[pisskop]

bring enough ammo and stims and painkillers.

and bring a turret if you can. npcs also work for absorbing the initial waves

I’m trying really hard to keep my NPCs alive, despite their best efforts, so that was out. A SCAR-H, RM20, and some assorted grenades (plus the aforementioned powered combat armor) worked well enough, though. That many of the monsters wandered into the lava moat probably helped, at least with handling the outer perimeter and the things that I could snipe through the windows.

Biggest short-term problem was sniping the arachnotrons before they could shoot me, biggest long-term problem was the massive morale hit from the slaves. Still, it was a nice extended combat encounter and I got to punch a hell knight in the face. I’ll have to try it with only an Ithaca 2021 next time.

I demolished my way into the central room, killed everything except the milling slaves in the back, and found the stairs down, but after the first transition level it said that the stairs became blocked off. Did I miss something, or is that unimplemented right now? Are the hell castles like fungal or triffid sites in that you can get them to stop spawning hell monsters nearby, or no?

My NPC buddy got murdered by a Hulk

[harison86]

My only NPC companion on my current playthrough just died in a hospital when we got separated. I was blinded by boomers and cut off by acid spit. I was trying to make her the first NPC God of the Cataclysm. I just- it’s so easy to get attached if you only have one NPC…!

I found the patient treatment records I needed in the next room immediately after the one she died in…
And then on my way out a boomer dropped maid clothes, something she was wearing, as if to mock me.

I’M GONNA BURN THIS PLACE DOWN.

Me and my post apocalyptic crew just found this town.

Kittery. On the road leading up to it, there’s a much needed gas station, filling our mad max RV up to the brim with gas.
But when we pull into the “town”, we see nothing.

Actually nothing.
This town is totally empty. Just an intersection with three dead-ends.

Except for a single chair, sitting out in the rain, in the middle of the road

This middle of bumfuck nowhere “town”, which took hours to drive to, was defended by two minefields, and a turret barricade next to a rickety, wooden gas station; has nothing in it except a chair.

We then drove away from this Silent Hill bullshit asap.

[_k1]

An interesting place.

[pisskop]

it was a starter firt

[_k1]

The chair was the bookkeeper’s office.

I woke up to a horde of zombies and a necromancer. Time to fortify or die.

After a full game of being nomadic, I have finally come to a point where I am making a static base.
And as a result, I am now decommissioning my mobile fortress.

Traveler, you will be missed.

Well I’ve just made my first vehicle from scratch… Well Kinda, it was a flatbed truck at some point, but I turned it into a cargo truck, then decided to do this project. I took everything off but the frames. I did take off every frame and replace it with a ++ version, since you can’t seem to start a vehicle with an enhanced frame, as it just turns back into a regular one, but if you attack an enhanced frame to another frame it stays enhanced. I added some extra frames around the back for extra space https://imgur.com/a/3QlH5. It’s still not a huge vehicle, but bigger than I’ve used so far. It even has motorized doors and curtains, so i don’t even have to get up to open or close the curtains. I still will probably add some more storage batteries, I have enough to put one in every spot and still have some left over I think lol. I was starting to turn a tank into a base, but it’s a much bigger project I guess and I got sidetracked with this one. https://imgur.com/a/IU0Wy

Yes. You should have been able to descend to the B3 level and fight the spider mastermind and his small army of cherubs and arachnotrons. The way was blocked off, likely by a sewer or ant hill. I unfortunately cannot control that. Though if it persists over multiple locations please report it. I tested one out and had no difficulty getting down.
