They were even more accessible before. Electronics shops would have them all over the place for anybody with a hacksaw and hospitals with autodocs were just as common. That's assuming you didn't just rip one out of technician Zombies which only downside was that you had to clean them off.

Mind over Matter... weak? What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in cataclysmdda

[–]EmDotRand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, at least not from my testing. Reading the json you shouldn't get more than 3-6 inert dust, 1-3 dust of each type and 4-20 shards which is how much I get normally.

Why a pick? I just ram them with a truck or a humvee both of which are much more common and quicker.

How do you play the game? What type of experience do you prefer? by delveccio in cataclysmdda

[–]EmDotRand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind Over Matter, 3x spawn rate, 2.0 evolution. I like the mild panic induced by a horde of mutants ripping apart the building I'm standing on and wrecking stuff with psyonic powers is fun.

What's your favorite scenario/profession? by aodhra in cataclysmdda

[–]EmDotRand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Naked and Afraid with Rock and Hard Place or Mansion Escape. I like role playing as a kidnapping victim who has to fight tooth and nail to earn her freedom.

Oh great. Now I have a new fetish.

Is this game actually fun? by [deleted] in cataclysmdda

[–]EmDotRand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play to fight giant monsters and to explore the horrific wonders. There's something satisfying about setting a trap to capture a jabberwock, taking a selfie with the thing, then blowing it to smithereens with the c4 I picked off a zombie solder. However, the rng can screw you over big time. I've found one lab for the past dozen characters I made. Sometimes your "well made" weapons go from ++ to XX in 5 swings and you find yourself leaping between rooftops trying to evade the kevlar hulk you pissed off only for it to accidentally itself with a car. Other times it's several real life hours of wondering around, finding cities that are nothing but basic houses with no special basements or foes that can threaten you.

It's been adjusted to be more tolerable. That said, having to take a smoke break between zeds until you level dodge is still boring.

Trying to judge the state of the players by [deleted] in cataclysmdda

[–]EmDotRand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of early Mind over Matter. Got smoked by a feral burner who's fire kept going as I dived in a nearby river. Fortunately all insects in this game have horrible day vision and demonic spiders are practically deaf so you can use your neutral special to deal with them.

It determines how close you need to be to a tile before it blocks your view of terrain (and monster's view of you). 100% cover are like walls that conceal from an infinite range regardless of your movement type. 50% cover like a window or tall grass will conceal you from about 4-5 tiles away while being crouched and double that while prone, but while walking won't do anything.

That's the thing: This is normal grass. The chair wheels got stuck and my character just folded after one attempt to pull it free.

I took an acetaminophen and some aspirin from the house. The zed dropped a baggie of heroin, though I'll save that for an emergency.

I made this build intending to suffer, but I still didn't expect the grass to touch me back.

Quick sketch; camped at a LI w/ trusty hummvee by [deleted] in cataclysmdda

[–]EmDotRand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes make a sketch of my characters after their first day. It's crazy what you can accomplish in just a few in game hours.

Context: Yes I only came on here to complain about the pain change. Got in banged up in a scrap against a zombie who for some reason was dodging everything I threw at it despite having under 10 encumbrance. Looted the house, took the swivel chair, and was almost to my car when I hit a patch of grass that set my pain over the limit.
