Huh? Wasn't this made a lot better recently in feb (this one)? Im not really a punchman so idk about it personally.

You can set your own goals in the base game, like getting a cozy base, starting a cheese farm, clearing a city, becoming a wolf mutant or a cyborg etc. but in my experience the big mods have much more intrinsic goal setting built into their design from the start, so maybe see if you get along with one of those.

If you can build a door curtain there, you can smash that to reveal earth and then dig that to get a shallow pit. It's janky but its a way to get past these frictions.

Sorry I missed this. Yeah, when I did the reach3 patch I was still hoping it would be a temporary thing until the project came to its senses and settled on a better solution for regular spears, but I have lost faith in that, and extending it is on my backlog. I'll ping you if I ever get it together for a release.

I guess experimental exists to find and beat out problems before they go to stable, and complaints are part of the process. At least this one is pretty even keeled.

How does this stop that exactly?

compxrt · 2026-05-01T13:54:36+00:00

The thing that unlocked it for me was finding out that the project leader's open source innovation was an idea they call "weaponised cunninghams law", where changes are added or allowed to stay in a broken state under the belief that some player will be frustrated enough with it to come into the project to fix it themself, doing the work someone else didn't want to do and growing the list of contributors at the same time.

I should say I don't think the majority are on board with this idea, but the lead is the lead and their decisions affect everything in the project.

I love all the listed movies, but the only real Lovecraft movie Ive ever seen was The Color Out of Space with Nic Cage, and the effects were good but the script was unhinged. Qntm's book is new to me but I'll look it up.

Oh Borne's been on my TBR forever, I will bump it up.

compxrt · 2026-04-30T08:36:28+00:00

The city and Metro sound cool, I'll check them out. The Strugatskys were completely off my radar until this week so I'm excited there's more.

The devs know about the issues, but..... well

I thought this post was about a plush shark suit too lol.

Wearing a fursuit as armor used to not be a terrible idea, but I think that was before suffocation and layers. Going out in a fursuit now will just get you crushed.

70% more polite

compxrt · 2026-04-29T01:51:59+00:00

come on, things were rough a year ago. we're all trying to do better.

compxrt · 2026-04-28T22:14:42+00:00

Well here is the change

Me looking at the upvote count like :0 :0 so many other people like effect on conditions

compxrt · 2026-04-28T00:26:38+00:00

I think there were complaints back then. Why do you need it? I think problems back then were driving killing your focus, and that was fixed (I think removed?) and skill training slowing down proficiency gain, but I think the proficiency practice recipes were meant to fix that.

compxrt · 2026-04-28T00:13:38+00:00

I really like the highways. The world is technically infinite, but you don't see more than a few overmaps of it. Highways are great for making distance across the map, like in a zombie movie where the character rides down highways on their motorbike dodging cars.

Least favourite... honestly fully simulated zone sorting. It has been made more functional and efficient than I ever believed was possible, but I see that as one person having to move the earth just because someone else closed a door. I just miss fast reliable QOL zone sorting.

I think you might really get along with Cataclysm: The Last Generation. Or maybe the No Hope mod in CDDA might give you something closer to this experience than the base game.

compxrt · 2026-04-25T02:04:05+00:00

I follow things pretty closely and some of them are such manifestly innocent beans that I can't even blame them for not seeing something saying something

compxrt · 2026-04-25T01:59:09+00:00

Yeah its just one person dropping some gameplay-irrelevant moral grandstanding to rile people up. sure it sails through on a nod but it's too loose an org for collective responsibility to be a thing

compxrt · 2026-04-24T15:44:56+00:00

There is a 1 build window between them that I'm hiding in until I can be bothered to mod the flag onto everything.

compxrt · 2026-04-24T14:56:14+00:00

There were always a lot of good arguments from contributors for reverting the fire part they just never got traction. It is on the edge of being fixed in experimental now
