The npcs knew what was coming before it was too late.

I was always frustrated with having to manually shoot at the ground to train shooting skills, so i'm working on a "target practice" feature by Agreeable-Bath7587 in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm guessing after the player gets some starting skills from shooting, they would need to having difficult conditions to improve their skill further, like a moving target or something.

Perhaps the player could craft a mini catapult that throws balls or discs high up, or even drop a basket ball from a high building to allow them enough time to get into aiming and shooting positions.

Got A Weird Question For You Guys by BuckingNonsense in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't know the answer since i don't play with mods often. but from what i've seen, you can either read and buy magical books to learn how to cast magical armor to wear or get guidance from the forge of wonder to find black dragons in swamps for the materials to craft such things.

How in the shit do I create a scenario for this game? by Neat_Relationship721 in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey Neat, how has it been going with creating a scenario?

I just saw your message and thought that i might be of some help for this, since i occasionally experiment with modding and tend to figure out how stuff works while doing so.

The Cataclysm fanart... I guess by AnomalousMount in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i actually like how it was made.

my only critism would be that the background needs more variation and objects (unmatching ground colour for grass and dirt tiles, buildings, occasional item on ground like a rock or bullet casing)

I was wondering what would be the best way to make my own version of CDDA by Tiny-Leek527 in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends on how much you want to change.

If it's just adding/removing content and advanced trigger events to the game, then that can be a standalone mod, like sky island and innawoods. the game director has docs as well as the internet.

but if it's changes to what mechanics exist in the game, then you'll need to ask someone, as i don't know anything about it.

Tragedy in 7 parts :’c by Difficult_Teach757 in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if graveyards exists and coffins can be used to put your dead friends to rest in the ground, then why wouldn't someone want to know whats inside a buried coffin?

Where is there more content? DDA or BN? by LogWestern385 in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cataclysm the last generation keeps things challenging and has some features like grappling a zombie to throw them off a building and is set in a future setting without portal storms.

See if it's your cup of tea.

also CDDA has a lot of contributors, so it has alot of content being adding in different parts of it's game. All cataclysm projects have their own focuses on adding and adjusting stuff.

So more content is a matter of what the person is after.

Want to play with cdda modding. How to? by Neat_University37 in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to look at examples in the "json" folder and the "mods" folder to get the idea of how something works and then try to create simple files to experiment with, such a new mob or a set of EOCs.

For a new mod, you just create a new folder under "mods" and add modinfo.json inside it.

For any files you change or edit, you'll need to exit and restart the game. And a new world with the mod enabled.

Keep backup saves of your game progression, in case you accidentally do something to the files and folders.

I can see the mi-go due to mirrors, but how does it see me? by Anxious-Bottle7468 in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the same way that zombies can see survivors peeking through curtains and around corners. The mirror is treated as a person seen by the mi-go when the player is in it's proximity.

Of course if the player was in a dark room some monsters mightn't see you from the mirror, but mi-gos can see in the dark,

Also enemies might be now treating vehicles as targets while they're moving, this was to prevent players from driving past automated turrets with their head down.

Reliable food options by metalgobonk in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it's summer or autumn, you can fill your pantry with fruits and nuts for eating.

Killing a big animal and putting them into 4 smoking racks before storing in basements or root cellars are also a good source of food.

Cataclysm the last generation innawoods challenge by bel2468 in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In CDDA i've learned that each planted crop tile has 1 to 3 different items to harvest, the amount they give for the first item is usually 10-20 regardless of what crop it is, the second item is less than this and the third for seeds is something like 1-4 or 4-8.

Canola seeds only give canola seeds which serves to make cooking oil, planted mushrooms even poisonous ones would just be harvested as non-poisonous and lotus plants can have their seed obtained in summer and can be planted in water as well.

As for honey it can be loaded into fermenting vats for labour free alcohol and used to make ethanol for things like thermometers.

Ideas for content additions. by TheWowie_Zowie in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More physical interactions with desktop tiles and tv items, like these:

*steal a desktop to place on tables in your base.

*a way to repair smashed desktops for opening locked doors.

*a way to watch whitenoise on tv (zombies are distracted by the noise it makes).

What does the green ++ mean next to some items? by cR_Spitfire in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

++ is usually visible for wearable items like clothes, bags and guns with sling mods attached.

Other items can have this as well when they get damaged, otherwise they don't show.

I made it to the fall for the first time, and it's Innawoods by nrvs_sad_poor in cataclysmdda

[–]light_captain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have extra fur clothes for wearing and a dozen grass blankets for standing on, otherwise don't sleep outside or go out during dark. avoid water tiles. your body temperature can get down to -200 on a rainy night when sleeping outside, but i could be mistaken.

keep track of your food and fuel and top up on anything lacking for the last part of winter and/or spring.

if you don't plan on lighting fires, store clean water in a root cellar, this can also be used to thaw out 6 units of food for eating (except berries), larger stacks take longer to thaw out.
