Holy shit, why are there like a million huge worms everywhere?
[QUOTE=manian112;40382881]Holy shit, why are there like a million huge worms everywhere?[/QUOTE]
because whales is a sadist
Seriously, after playing this game for a couple hours, I believe there's way too many monster spawns.
I was thinking of checking out a LMOE camp, but THERE IS SO MANY FUCKING TRIFFIDS, NO AMOUNT OF MOLOTOV COCKTAILS WILL SAVE ME.
Edit: Nevermind, just horrible hallucinations.. Phew.
[QUOTE=NotMeh;40380379]How do I achieve the same look as in the OP's screenshots?
Meaning what font is that (is it square?) and what is up with those colors?[/QUOTE]
The pictures in the OP are horribly out of date. You can tell because in the most recent version the walls on buildings are connected instead of "-"s and "|"s.
i found my first car last night
i tried to drive it but miscalculated which end was the front and ended up smashing it into a wall
then it turned into a trapezoid, went flying into a crowd of zombies, scraped another wall and everything became fire
im kind of terrible at this game
I just had the luckiest start of a character ever.
Make a wilderness survival-type character who is good at spear-chucking and stabbing. 3 Meters outside of my evac shelter I find a dead military group with 3 IDs, a backpack, 2 rocket launchers and a bunch of 40mm grenades.
Not even 1 minute later I stumble across a scientist group with a goo canister, water, a teleporter and IDs.
After I hauled all the shit I just looted back to my shelter and I started wondering when a zombie brute will appear to kill my ass for being so lucky. After that I decide to break into some nearby houses and BOOM the first one I find has a basement full of mutagen, water, purifier and tools.
jesus christ
jumping out of cars is bullshit, I wasn't hurt at all, I exited a car going around 10km/h and I died from it.
[QUOTE=cdr248;40356994]After playing this I can't get into any other roguelikes.[/QUOTE]
I know right, Cataclysm just works much better than any other roguelikes.
Could someone tell me how to compile this? The link isn't working for me, and I can't find a working guide anywhere else.

Save scumming?
holy shit those mutations
did one of you use the Shift+Z menu by any chance?
Or someone could rehost the download of this game for me, that'd be cool tooo
I played the shit outta this back when it was just cataclysm. I remember getting extremely good at playing a gun character. If you were good enough, you could one-shot kill the weaker zombie with a BB gun, and the amount of BB ammo you found was limitless.
Gotta get back into this. I think they made the right decision changing the name. Searches for cataclysm just result in WoW.
Robust genetics was our first mutation we got and purifiers tend to get rid of bad mutations

Not absolute night vision 0/10 would not approve
Anyway it is really possible to get even more positive mutations. Robust genetics and lotsa purifiers.
Also screw mutagens, eat legs. Eating a leg only gives you 1 mutation, so less chance to get something terrible

There's no way you could get that many good mutations without having shitloads of bad ones even if you had robust genetics and dozens of purifiers. It's just too unlikely.
is there any way to meet/kill a DRR DRR DRR without the Shift+Z menu?
[QUOTE=Robbobin;40431372]There's no way you could get that many good mutations without having shitloads of bad ones even if you had robust genetics and dozens of purifiers. It's just too unlikely.[/QUOTE]
usually when I make a super mutant character I end up with like 4 bad mutations that I don't mind (like deformed) and twice or thrice as many good mutations
Yup, same but they have about 30 good mutations to about 3 bad ones.
[editline]26th April 2013[/editline]
I once read that robust genetics makes you get good traits 2/3 of the time as opposed to 1/2 of the time which seems appropriate to me. As far as I'm aware purifier just removes 1-4 completely random mutations.

Molotov next to foult and hope it comes where you put the fire.
How do you use the scientist teleporter item? I put down a portal, and step into it, but nothing happens.
New update, big update, lotsa content.

Holy hell this is fun.
First game I ran into a town and died instantly.
Second game I walked right outside of my evac site and fell into a sinkhole with no exit.
Third match, I stumbled upon a dead military group, found a bunch of LAWs and USPs and Military ID cards. I loaded up on backpacks and military rucksacks and an army helmet and food. I was set. I kept following roads. I had kevlar, steel-toed boots, and a hell of a good setup. I kept going, found a lab but I couldn't get in without a keycard. I kept going and found a bunch of dead scientists outside of a sewage plant. I grabbed the keycard and ran back to the lab, opened it, and got hit with some electric shock stuff. I ran away after finding pretty much nothing, and then kept going down a road, where I found a working car. Shit crashed in a few seconds, so I bailed and kept walking. By this time it was reaching night, so I flipped on a flashlight and kept going. Then there was some acid rain. Then a fucking wolf chased me. I had a combat knife and a USP with no ammo, so there wasn't all that much I could do. I kept trying to hit it but I kept missing and it ran away every other second.
I got torn apart by a single wolf while running down a road, downing codeine and wrapping bandages around myself, all while one goddamn wolf tore off my dust mask and crippled my face, shredded my kevlar, and then totally broke my steel-tipped boots.
I love this game.
Some interesting changes. Suddenly my favourite build (going for as many mutations as possible) is a lot more viable.
Acid rain causes pain not injury
Ugh finally. I remember running through a forest and then suddenly acid rain and welp there goes my character
Removed RV kitchen units from some spawn locations.
Wait there's an RV now?
I've been playing this all night and all day today. Why is this so much fun.
Finally got a good character. I have a CBM that makes me invulnerable to heat up to 2000F, and one that regulates my internal temperature. Because of that second one, I've packed on loads and loads of clothes for more storage space. I'm trying to barricade up a farm I found, and searching everywhere for a hotplate so I can cook all this food I found and boil my water. My guy LOVED adderall and I've been really lucky so far finding it. It's helped me out a lot in this round.
I'm reading lots of skill books and making mad dashes whenever I get close to somebody. I'm hoping to find weapons or combat books so I can survive in combat more easily.
Seriously the best game I've ever played. I now have something to do on a 12-hour roadtrip to Minnesota this weekend. I love the OP for showing me this.
