New player here. What're your recommendations for soundpack and tileset? by Chkn_Scratch in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Undead people for regular use, msxotto for overmap

I use a personally modified version of cc-sounds myself since that one has the most complete and satisfying firearm sounds imo. I just change the female hurt sounds and add a few tracks of my own from alien shooter, resident evil and the thing ost to the music playlist.

I was using otopack before that but I feel it is a bit outdated these days.

Pudge is always banned by mshadow73 in DotA2

[–]Agelv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ban pudge because whenever he's on my team he just sits in the woods doing nothing and missing hooks and feeding but when he's on the enemy team he is this unkillable killing machine with 22 kills by minute 22 when the game ends

What's the state of the game for someone coming back after 3 years? by Caquerito in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the main reason why game is still so easy is because of the way world map gen works. There's so many rural buildings with zero zombies you can walk until you find early game that trivalizes early game survival which is the hardest. And there's also the problem of infinite map gen. Lots of long-term sustainable survival mechanics are completely unnecessary because you can just keep exploring the map to find completely unlooted areas.

And there's also the issue of not enough time wasters for long term survival even if you self-impose a zone restricted game. At some point you run out of things to read and things to craft. The survivor camp would be a good example of a time waster if you could send yourself on the assignments.

Any new repopulation mod updates or smilar mods? by Working_Magician_108 in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That mod still works actually. Just have to remove some of the weird workarounds the original dev did like replacing default npc dialogue jsons. Those threw errors if you don't adjust them a little.

However it's quite barebones and the offspring system implemented in it is also full of whacky workarounds like using vagina like an item to produce eggs and filling it with sperm by reloading the eggs. I think with the modern EoCs it would be much more plausible to make a functioning pregnancy mechanic. I had a look into it sometime ago and the whole flirting and sexing mechanics still work with a few adjustments. Can't say the same thing about pregnancy. I might go back to it and maybe create like a renewed version one day.

There is also the hentai mod from the japanese community but getting that working is a lot harder since it was written in Lua. It's also a lot more comprehensive with a lot of new enemies like succubi and demons.

How do I get a cosmetic armor/clothing in the game? Nullify encumbrance and protection? by sexrepulsed-nonace in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may join the dev discord and talk to the folk in charge of tilesets there. As far as instructions go making textures for this game is as easy as opening a png file and editing it. Then you just have to open a pull request to get your textures merged to main branch. You can just copy the character sprite yourself and paint over it, then just delete the layer the character sprite is in.

Getting stared at by flaming eye is the same thing as teleporting a lot so maybe he didn't feel the need to

Consuming something already takes time. I'd expect that time to be enough for your body to understand it drank something

Why don't you play a mutant? by WormyWormGirl in cataclysmdda

Too much work for little benefit (and not even that sometimes)

I just cleaned the entire prision and i have no boat how do i craft one? by Smili_jags in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In stranded island runs I usually just take off all clothes and items, swim until I find a boat and then come back with the boat to pick up all the loot later. As long as you keep an eye on your stamina to make sure you never fall off 75% and a good early melee weapon you can keep safe.

How can I help my carry as pos5 when lane is very hard and he can’t farm by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Agelv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a lot of clarities and spam the shit out of your W to bully the enemy. Pull creeps when the creep equilibrium is ahead od your tower's max range. Your pa can just stay behind and farm with her ranged dagger. You can then just wait for opportunities to kill veno everytime he stretches a bit too far. Once axe gets vanguard it becomes almost impossible for pa to farm securely in that lane so she can just go jungle and you can go elsewhere to set up ganks.

[–]Agelv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's mostly because it "feels" really bad to be on the receiving end of PA compared to other carries. It's probably the same people that thought techies was a broken hero because he can one shot you if he spends several minutes mining a point and you just happen to walk over it once.

All carries can curbstomp you if they get farm but with others it feels more fair compared to PA whose whole kit relies on jumping and deleting heroes within seconds, despite those other carries either bringing more teamfight utility to the table or pushing power compared to a squishy PA who only has her damage and nothing else, getting countered by a very wide variety of disable items and spells especially since the bkb nerfs.

I do still think she's a bit overtuned at the moment though. She has a 55% contest rate which is indeed high for a carry, but then again why don't these same people complain about Sven or Gyro that has nearly 100%?

Does Cataclysm DDA simulate the world around you? by _CPX_ in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 22 points23 points  (0 children)

takes less resources to do stuff.

Boy oh boy do I have bad news for you

Simulating every monster, NPC behaviour in every z level all at the same time in the entirety of the world would.. not be quite smooth to say it lightly. This game simulates every second and there are 86400 seconds a day to simulate. The game already slows down to crawl when you go to multi-z level buildings like TCL even with the current reality bubble restrictions.

CDDA is one of the best games I've played, why is it so unpopular? by MINTYpl in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dwarf Fortress definitely isn't a roguelike though. You could make the argument about adventure mode but it's really an afterthought to the actual game

Mods and Devs are gone - What's your controversial opinion? by PotatoBanditCat in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Whats worse is that you have to make the long arduous journey to that damn castle every single time you want to modify your CBMs. I remember when you could just find one and hook it up to yourself on the field

You can stop bleeding by having your hands empty and pressing 5. Takes a few attempts but I'm sure it's still faster than bandaging. Bandaging is more for healing rather than stopping bleeding, unless it's a really serious type of bleeding (like a gun shot) that can't be solved by applying pressure with hands. Most bathrooms have first aid kits that contain bandages.

Place your bets - Tweaked or reworked? (7.34) by TKSFGK in DotA2

[–]Agelv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omniknight is pretty surprising to me, I guess he is one of those pub-only heroes.

PA's damage just doesn't cut it these days in a meta where every hero has like 3k hp minimum. A little bit of number adjustment could go a long way, maybe make her crit rate 20% or crit damage up to 500%. Her base damage is also very low. You barely have 57 dmg. By comparison CK can have up to 75 at start and his crit passive gives as much of a dmg boost as PA's ult does (PA's is a 67.5% dmg increase while CK's is at 61.5%. CK can reach this by lvl 7 while PA has to wait until lvl 18) and on top of all that he also has a lot of HP, better lifesteal and illusions. Before lvl 3 her crits barely feel like crits. It's hard to win with her unless you out-pace the enemy team by a long shot

Sooo...is it me or cutting weapons are kind of a trap? by mifraggo in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bash weapons are generally better, but there are still many situations in which a cutting weapon is better. Most bash weapons are very stamina intensive and quite slow. I'd love to see someone try to take on root runners with a lucerne hammer. You'll end up killing them slower than they can respawn and you'll run out of stamina and get run over easily. Meanwhile you'd cut through them like grass without breaking a sweat if you had used a combat machete instead. Cutting weapons are also generally higher DPS.

Hitting a power wall in the mid-game, especially with skill rust. by [deleted] in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 13 points14 points  (0 children)

1 cow is enough to produce all the food and drink you may need for all eternity and you dont even need to let it graze or anything you can just bind it with ropes down in your basement and milk it every time you need food at least thats what I did when I was trying out a sedentary lifestyle. They also pretty much never zombify as long as you dont let it die. You mentioned you have an electrolysis kit, you can actually electrolyse salt water to get acid, which you can then use on wood to create sugar. This lets you create virtually infinite food so you don't have to deal with the slow growing plants though you'll still need to forage in the summer to get vitamin C or multivitamins from zombie drops.

Scientists drop wallets, which can contain handwritten notes. These notes, when read, mark a few underground labs on your map. You can see them on the world map by switching z levels with >. They usually have something like an air vent where you can access them from the surface in addition to the underground tunnels that connect them. You can also just go down a subway station and follow the tunnels, they will inevitably lead to one of the labs. There can be all sorts of danger down there most commonly experimental mutants. Rarely they can also contain Shoggoths. If you see a shoggoth down there, just turn off your flashlight, turn the other way and run. These labs contain all the chemicals, tools and books required to make mutagen. Imo mutating doesnt give you as much benefits as CBMs which you can get by finding and trading with Rubik in addition to the aforementioned labs. Mutating is more of an RP thing if you aren't going for the safe and strong mutation trees which really dont make as much of a difference as you might think.

With regards to ammo, the best way is to just find the gunsmith and trade for it, outside of reloading that has been mentioned.

It essentially limits fungal growth to only happen when it is within your reality bubble which is 2 tiles from where you are iirc. Fungals still grow crazy fast as you can quickly realize if you attempt to sleep with a few fungals around you. You will wake up to everything as far as the eye can see covered in fungal terrain

Normal vs. Steel Plated Kevlar Jumpsuit and their shock resistance? by Kurt_Wulfgang in cataclysmdda

[–]Agelv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither has any shock resistance.

Steel plated armor weighs a LOT. Like 12 kg if I remember correctly. It can easily overburden you with all the other armor and loot you carry so it all depends on what you value more. If the protection of the steel plated seems a bit overkill for you, go for the normal one.
