Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - FUCK NO SPORTING GOODS STORES

[WarRage]

Ahhhh just finished plating my whole car with Military Composite Armor

Time to see can i row trough a forest without taking damage

Works like a charm.

Everything solid in this game is no match for cars, trees walls zombies you can just pummel trough them BUT GOD HELP YOU IF YOU RAM ANOTHER CAR.

[Psygo]

i found a p nice apc once and rode it through a forest because it was either that way or through a town filled with mean zombies.

Oh, they added it to the kitchen buddy? Does the RV kitchen unit mention it as well? Because if so, that gives me a few spots to drop cooked meat so I don't have to hunt every day during Summer.

[QUOTE=nutcake;44286434]I just died in a pretty shit way.
Had a kinda good character going, living outside of town in a Lab.
Went into a forest a bit to pick up a gallon jug I dropped earlier, when out of nowhere a cougar jumps in my face.
I quickly kill it with my bow but started bleeding so intensely from my torso that I was dead within ten tiles.
I think that cougar knew the Five-Point-Palm-Exploding-Heart-Technique[/QUOTE]

But seriously, that's happened to me a bunch of times, too.

You cant put things in the kitchen unit iirc

Apparently i'm going twice the speed of sounds right now with my car

[Nutcake]

Oh...

Looks like that broken house I was in to craft a bunch of shit from the rubble was full of radiation....

Good to know I guess.

[Svinpels]

You might already know this, but if you can't find any RVs with minifridges, you could check out parks.
They sometimes got icecream cart in them, which is basically a shopping cart with a minifridge in stead of the regular basket.

[WarRage]

At 23 skill you can install as many engines as you want, currently i have 8 V8's in my car

What's the quickest way to purify large amounts of water? I've got a steel jerrycan full of dirty water but no means of cleaning it (without using the crafting menu for each charge, but fuck that)

[Purple Magpie]

Water purifier. 1 charge per 1 unit of water.

Also there's a 'craft last craft' button, I think it's default dash.

Hoooooooooooly shit I wish I knew this sooner.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;44286444]I think you can make - or find - mini-fridges for vehicles, but I have yet to see any. Refrigerators can't be constructed at all to my knowledge, bar map editing via the debug menu. Refrigerators actually only just now started to actually function at all in 0.A, before then they were just something to disassemble. Or for people like me, where you stored perishable food anywhere because it made sense.[/QUOTE]

Would you believe it only recently occurred to me that refrigerators actually work now? I was wondering how Frozen Dinners found in a grocery store were not considered rotten on day 4 and thought they just changed how food decay was calculated. When 2 weeks in I found some non rotten non irradiated produce in a fridge in a house it occurred to me that fridges work now.

[Robbobin]

I'm having a crazy fucking game. In my first day I managed to find two [sp]granades, both of them buffs[/sp], so I'm running around with 18 intelligence and a whole load of strength. Also got a bunch of bird mutations so I'm crazy fast.

Thanks to my high intelligence I've managed to install shitloads of bionics... however I can't find any fucking power storage bionics :|

Butcher Shocker zombies 80% of the time they have one, if you want to find many shocker zombies go to public works

[Polymorph]

Got any recommendations on taking on shocker zombies in melee? Those are so far the only zombies that pose a serious threat to me.

Besides "Don't."

I don't know if it's changed, but I know that in 0.9 and backwards map tiles that you hadn't uncovered yet weren't subject to time. That is to say, if you were at day 45 and just uncovered a grocery store on the map, you could raid it for food as if the game had just started. My oldest character was well into Winter - I play 30 day seasons, so that's pretty significant - and was finding fresh produce in grocery stores she had just found.

Same as anything, block line of sight as best you can and make them go through broken windows.

[Polymorph]

I feel like I'm missing something vital for doing vehicle modifications. I've read the wiki, and I have the welder (with batteries even), hacksaw, and wrench, I've got 3 mechanics, yet going into the vehicle menu doesn't let me install, repair or remove things, no matter what it is.

[Purple Magpie]

You need welding goggles.

[Polymorph]

Got those too, forgot to mention it. Tried all combinations of wielding tools and wearing goggles too. Nothing.

[Robbobin]

So I found an RV, accidentally led it into a horde of zombies. So I went full man-mode and beat them all to death with a sledgehammer. Christ alive the sledgehammer is awesome in crowds.

[Purple Magpie]

Powered welder with 50 charges per install or repair, welding goggles, hacksaw, wrench. That should be all you need. Take a screenshot of your vehicle menu, I guess.

[editline]19th March 2014[/editline]

Well, and a jack for replacing tires. But that can be done via removing and installing.

I just started playing the new version, and my game keeps crashing. What gives, yo?

[lightningstreak]

I swear to god vehicles are one of if not the best part of this game.

I even tried making a dumb, non crafting focused character but I had to study mechanics to have fun building and tearing up cars.
Now I have a solar powered kitchen with a fridge, kitchen unit and water tank.

Oh, and if you ever wanted to know, you can in fact build a vehicle through an open window or empty window frame. My fridge is inside my evac shelter but the frame stretches out the window and outside in order to get power from solar panels. The only future issue is ever having to move it.

....or a zombear decides said open window is the best route to get to you.

So it's a house with landmines AND a pond it in.

I guess they throw some [i]killer[/i] parties in there

[WarRage]

FDA aprooved feed: "there is a sheer drop halfway down, continue y/n"
FDA aprooved feed: what's the worst that could happen
FDA aprooved feed: it's probably just no stairs in that part of the lab
FDA aprooved feed: [url]http://puu.sh/7BEXw.jpg[/url]
FDA aprooved feed: stop DMing my cataclysm
Admiral WarRage: fuck i bust a gut

The joke is the DnD campaign i DM right now is to fuck the party over as much as possible

[Polymorph]

Okay, so my vehicle problem was solved by me updating to a later revision. Which introduced a couple funny bugs:

1)when animated rain is on and it's raining, parts of whatever menu you were in previously rapidly flash in and out.

2) when you do things like examining and closing, your character moves one step down until you choose the item, complete with updated vision. I ended up looking through a closed door that way.

Edit: On closer inspection 2) actually does a more annoying version of 1)

[editline]19th March 2014[/editline]

Fuck, now I'm forced to install headlights due to this bug, it refuses to let me back out of the menu. I can't even escape it with alt-F4.

[editline]19th March 2014[/editline]

Is there an archive of all the different DDA builds? The jenkins doesn't seem to keep more than the last 2 for whatever reason.

[M1nks]

So how exactly do you get a cat to not run away from you when trying to offer it cat food? So far every time I've tried doing it the cat just runs for the hills.

Typical Contrary Cat.

[StrawberryClock]

So if I make a fireplace indoors (the one that need 40 rocks), it's safe right?

[editline]19th March 2014[/editline]

I wonder if it's possible to make a car frame but only to use it for the mini-fridge.

[editline]19th March 2014[/editline]

I got over my cigarette addiction, yeah!
