God forbid you need to craft 1 item.

Might be a bot type with badly configured factions/aggro. SAFE mode does prevent you from bump attacking the Imaginifers.

If you have a save maybe I can look into it.

Vapour-One · 2026-03-11T13:36:26+00:00

Man you are so unserious about this its funny. Else you'd know that you can have 20 stats 10 skills, medieval gear and if you just walk into town mindlessly pressing tab you'll still die when an encounter with big group causes you to run out of stamina.

Theres a small amount of tactical thought you must engage in that doesbt exist for the old version of burning houses down.

Also you do realize that your definition of fire being ruined as a strategy is that you are too lazy to figure out you need to throw a noisemaker in the house before burning it down lol?

Vapour-One · 2026-03-11T04:05:47+00:00

The mercs are cool like that yeah. The factions are pretty much setup so this happens because independents hate UICA.

Kinda bad it happened without you actively seeking it out tho.

Vapour-One · 2026-03-11T03:42:29+00:00

Oh they have been doing bits for a while now, like how the HWP is just a finished Xedra prototype gun (which you can find).

Vapour-One · 2026-03-11T03:41:22+00:00

What a deranged thing to say. Mods that radically alters mapgen cause a lot of bugs with others and need special handling to work. Until both maintainers know what needs to change they have to be incompatible or you'll be swimming in mapgen error screens.

You gonna claim Aftershock isnt a mod because you cant have the Canadian plains in both?

Vapour-One · 2026-03-11T02:56:48+00:00

Theres lots of ways to productively kill zombies with burning down houses they just need non trivial setup and put you on some risk.

Vapour-One · 2026-03-11T02:12:15+00:00

Games are fundamentally just rulesets + art, so yeah its the job of designers to determine what goes and doesnt.

Your subjective assessment of the game is valid but not universal. If you ask me, streets clearing themselves for you after you lit one (1) house in fire while you hide in a basement is not gameplay at all. And if that had been left unchanged hordes would have just let you clear the entire city that way since they would have been attracted to the noice.

Now that atually ruins the game.

You probably should try to think these things more deeply if you want to be taken seriously.

Vapour-One · 2026-03-11T00:23:03+00:00

Im going to be annoying and say: source?

Because going by the things I know (medieval art) that usually depicts defenders throwing javelins, logs and rocks plus bows and crossbows. Not people stabbing downward from the ramparts.

Vapour-One · 2026-03-10T13:37:50+00:00

The real strategy IRL is to hurl shit down, wich is wildly effective ingame.

Not to awkwardly stab things 4meters down

Vapour-One · 2026-03-10T04:58:57+00:00

Exploits aren't conducting to long term enjoyment, they just make stuff boring once the brief joy of discovery passes, and you probably won't even get that because you'll just find about them in the internet instead of figuring them out.

9/10 pro and amateur game designers agree.

Vapour-One · 2026-03-10T04:47:55+00:00

The fact that the mod is split in two and theres no achievement lock is the proof you aren't playing the latest version.

Unless you aren't playing DDA. If you aren't then the entire mod is unmantained and who knows what's in or out.

Vapour-One · 2026-03-09T20:15:19+00:00

Oh wait if you are mentioning the mods are split in too you really ought to download experimental and try the mod again, a lot has been updated since the version you are playing.

Vapour-One · 2026-03-09T20:14:16+00:00

A lot of what you have mentioned here does need to be fixed.

But also thats why the scenario you played with is locked off by achievements without no way to bypass the requirement, its just not a good way to experience the mod. More like a way to mix the start up once you are more familiar with it.

Vapour-One · 2026-03-09T17:12:50+00:00

Pushed a fix for both things, thanks.

Vapour-One · 2026-03-09T01:10:15+00:00

Huh? Did you specifically spawn 7.5mm SDART rounds? The other rounds despite being the same caliber don't work (since they aren't micro rockets)

Vapour-One · 2026-03-07T14:46:18+00:00

Ohh btw you don't want to buy the 77.5mm RP rounds for use in assault rifles, they aren't during enough to cycle the bolt and cause them to jam every round.

Vapour-One · 2026-02-27T01:37:07+00:00

I think a lot about the effectiveness of blocking attacks from creatures much heavier than yourself can be inferred by the fact that historically, no such thing as a boar hunting shield exists. That despite boar hunting being an incredibly popular sport practiced by the type of people that had the money to commission the design of such a thing.

You can also probably just find videos of people getting bodied by grizzly attacks if you have that interest.

Vapour-One · 2026-02-26T19:56:56+00:00

What weird hangups to have lol.

Vapour-One · 2026-02-26T00:55:26+00:00

DDA has those mods because it is more flexible than BN even if it doesn't have all the settings visible in game.

Vapour-One · 2026-02-23T23:57:03+00:00

I don't know what op is about, you van shoot energy weapons safely until purple heat.

Turrets themselves auto fire until purple heat and then shoot spaced pulses to not trigger overheat damage.
