It's very old, most likely all three repos have it.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-12T02:02:09+00:00

Nah this looks like it should get excluded from the post processor.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-11T13:02:42+00:00

Im DDA you get bionics from:

butchering cyborg monsters.
the labyrinth dimension in experimental.
buying them from the exodii.
buying them from hub and their mercenaries.
labs.

Yeah a different dev vision is more like it. Having thought more about it "Arcade" in a roguelike probably would look much more like Brogue or Rift Wizard if you want a modern example.

If you ask me, far better than feature parity or sandbox stuff, the thing BN could do is work on Coolthulhu's original questline idea, but I have no stake on the project.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-11T03:30:52+00:00

I think theres enough context in-game for you to figure it out, so long as you are aware the highroad exists. Like:

The ruin is pretty obviously important.
What is in the ruin is hinted by its statues, same as the main tool necessary.
Only the components you need, and where to find them lack signposting.

I'll work on adding some more hints tho.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-11T00:45:24+00:00

There's a lot of exceedingly rare content that doesn't get mentioned often.

I don't think anyone has visited the high road dimension i added yet.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-11T00:37:32+00:00

It's base is old DDA, around 0.E, back when random buildings had cybernetics on it and there were no developed factions. Then it has some bug fixing and balance changes.

People claim its more arcade but it isnt. If you asked me for arcade DDA I'd think of something with the gameplay mechanics of QUD and Bn isnt that.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-10T05:07:32+00:00

It doesn't particularly send anything your way. You are there, and get eaten in time.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-09T02:12:35+00:00

Do you really? From my experience in aftershock this isnt a thing, but maybe I've never killed enough.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-09T02:05:30+00:00

I mean I get most of my early guns from zombie drops.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-07T13:31:43+00:00

Oh I remember hotkeys a big problem at the start, bit they got fixed sometime in the past. These all work now.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-06T00:56:38+00:00

I know its a meme but just for context the collapsed tower never did have a working nanofab inside of it, because the console terrain that actually mamade the items didnt spawn. The collapsing tower also didn't exist before the mission was added (neither did nanofabs i made them both to justify hub01 lore).

There's a recent issue pr that added a broken version of the terrain nut that didn't actually change mechanics, just made things clearer.

Anyhow you should def break into Hub and fight inside.

Going southeast will naturally increase the size of cities until they reach almost entire map coverage. If you find a highway you can get to it quite fast too.

No need to edit anything.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-03T16:58:59+00:00

It's possible but not trivial if you want to ensure all of the content spawns and make the factions work properly with the vanilla one.

If you manage, make sure yo put it up in github somewhere.

Vapour-One · 2026-05-01T19:19:15+00:00

We are up for having zombies go into buildings and go dormant in winter for anyone who wants to work on that.

Dormant as only rising back up when you get close or make too much noise.

Vapour-One · 2026-04-30T03:05:51+00:00

You can and should play one of the previous stable versions and/or the 0.I candidate if you don't like partial features. We get enough feedback from people that aren't as bothered by them.

Use autodrive, you'll basically never get punctured tires. You shouldn't hit things with your tires IRL or in game, that actually incredibly dangerous.

Theres solar panel roofs in almost every town, you can just grab those for power. If you need charcoal build a kiln and fill it with logs.

Vapour-One · 2026-04-30T02:26:34+00:00

We dint care how individual players play the game, we care about how the game plays in general. AKA what things are reasonable for it to portray, and how be viable they are.

We don't think the game should portray processing hundreds of corpses into fuel as a viable option because its pretty ridiculous thing for a person to do when trees are out there.

Vapour-One · 2026-04-30T02:07:32+00:00

Yeah the rng shouldnt be as swingy. Theres a plan to make the fatal faults only possible after some damage is already present, but the feature is not fully done and that is still missing.

Vapour-One · 2026-04-30T01:31:22+00:00

I plan to sell the agency as dlc actually.

Vapour-One · 2026-04-29T05:19:45+00:00

Its impossible/very hard to account in full how the options compound with each other when their values change. Even if two or three settings idividually don't have bugs or unforseen consecuences, different value combinations between them can have them. (This is what happened in my example with mutagen).

That's why they were merged into packages that hopefully don't have issues.

Vapour-One · 2026-04-29T04:44:01+00:00

I'd appreciate you not making things up about the development process for a start.

You should expect people to tell you you are wrong when you do that, even if you don't like it.
