What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

Noctifer · 2015-10-30T23:17:15.000Z

Made a farm, harvested many crops, Loaded with them, dehydrated them, set for winter…genetically unstable gives me carnivore…gave up on life,literally.

Dampe:

Going on a long-range scouting mission to the south of the mysterious structure.

Just be careful. X3

And then I assume you suffer more from dirty water than from a spirit of fire. >.<

Other than the very most immediate concerns (I am starving to death!), the best thing about a school is not the food, or even the water… it’s the library in the middle. Sneak in at night through a back window (possible even disassemble it instead of breaking it), grab the beautiful books, and run.

Yeah, that’s why I’ve been doing the school scenario a lot lately.
I usually use the Poor Student profession since it gives me one extra skill point, and the only real disadvantage it has compared to Student is the lack of a backpack. However, you can usually find (at least) one backpack in the lockers located in the front of the building (the capital “S”), so that’s not a concern. Even if you don’t find one there, zombie children drop them fairly frequently, and the school will be crawling with them.

Thought to myself “I don’t remember really bad day being this brutal” then remembered I was playing with double zombie health/speed

Random_dragon · 2015-10-31T19:48:39.000Z

Well, started up a fighter, starter NPC gave me the jabberwock quest. Went and fucked it up. Fencing, plus broadsword, equals Fun.

I might see if the jabberwock quest leads to a quest chain. If not, I’m gonna debug for the relic mission, I want to see how the arcana mod effects the potential loot in the cultist cabin.

EDIT: Weird. It seems setting my default name to Ragnar ALSO named my starter NPC Ragnar.

Noctifer · 2015-10-31T20:04:39.000Z

Yeah, the default name option changes all npc names to that…

Random_dragon · 2015-10-31T20:12:33.000Z

…dafuq. Am I gonna have to report this one myself? >.<

EDIT: Done. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/13860

EDIT 2: Well, I guess I’m glad that for once I left Mundane Zombies off. Zombie necromancer dropped The Cleansing Flame.

EDIT 3: Aw yeah.

I still can’t look at tilesets without having my eyes bleed just a little bit. Having the x and y directions scaled to the same distance is just absurd. [quote=“Random_dragon, post:8957, topic:47”]Cooking with lava. There’s no better way to do it.[/quote]

Is there any justification for fumaroles in the game any more? the rest of the stuff I kinda get, but those are from like wayyyyyyy back and I feel like Whales just added them in then 'cuz.

Random_dragon · 2015-11-01T02:48:30.000Z

Cataclysm has me spoiled to delicious tilesets though. Funny though, I play with Dwarf Fortress as it comes, but Nethack, Cataclysm DDA, and Doom the Roguelike I got to have tile’lified. :V

EDIT: Still searching for a cathedral, so I can debug my starter NPC to start the relic quest. Also? I got Bowyer’s Buddy, so I might read it and make the repeating crossbow. My archery skill is a tad lacking, so I doubt it’ll be as gloriously OP as it could potentially be.

Logrin · 2015-11-01T04:41:54.000Z

Don’t repeating crossbows still fire bursts? You’ll learn up nice–well in time for that arcana mod crossbow.

Random_dragon · 2015-11-01T05:03:34.000Z

Maybe, but I rarely USE burst fire.

Plus, you know, the magic crossbow use arcana skill, not archery. X3

EDIT: On a whim, I checked out a dojo on my way to loot a crater for stone. Book of Five Rings, fuck yes.

EDIT 2: Got a delicious KSG from the gun store, vending machines are sadly not vulnerable to Ragnar’s smashiness.

DG123 · 2015-11-01T13:23:31.000Z

What is this about a “cleansing flame” and arcana mod crossbow? Do tell.

Also, to train with crossbows just stand a couple of tiles away from a tree and rapid fire wooden bolts into said tree.

One of the books, and one of the weapon recipes from it. owo

And…holy shit Valpo.

Litppunk · 2015-11-01T16:21:58.000Z

RUN VALPO RUN!!!

Random_dragon · 2015-11-01T16:26:21.000Z

Yep, you might be officially fucked. ;w;

Litppunk · 2015-11-01T16:32:47.000Z

southeast…or maybe southwest… maybe. Did you make it Valpo? DO YOU LIVE!!!

Random_dragon · 2015-11-01T16:44:37.000Z

And then Valpo was a zombie.

Arek_PL · 2015-11-01T16:46:56.000Z

looks surviveable, what time of day is it? try to survive until night and run away under cover of darkness

Liamix · 2015-11-01T16:47:53.000Z

More Chicken Walkers in a big city that i got killed in before, Gah, Melee is terrible against them.
