Any general guides on what are good meds to chug? The wiki is outdated but from what I understand Adderall is good.
That entirely depends on what you mean by 'good' and 'chug.' Vitamins are always good to take, but everything else has its own place.
You don't realize how much you miss using drugs until you take the prone to addictions negative trait.
I mean stims that give a ton of morale an raise your stats at the cost of health or high addiction.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;46731058]You don't realize how much you miss using drugs until you take the prone to addictions negative trait.[/QUOTE] My default min-maxing character takes that and lightweight. I don't ever really use drugs outside of painkillers or emergencies, and alcohol only for crafting or using with an ethanol burner.
In all of the hundred hours or so I've played Cataclysm, I've basically never touched drugs, heh. Though I use almost all of the mutagen I find.

Eating them is a good way to get bad mutations. It's far better to save them for making mutagen.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;46733941]Eating them is a good way to get bad mutations. It's far better to save them for making mutagen.[/QUOTE] I thought eating limbs is actually a great way to mutate. Each limb gives 1-2 mutations instead of 3-5 mutagen gives so it's easier to control the process
As far as I know, eating mutated limbs or misshapen fetuses tends to give bad mutations more than good. That could just be my DCSS play confusing me though. I also tend to make targeted mutagen though, so I do better saving them for mutagen than I do eating them directly.
When I have troubles learnin' them books I often get hopped up on cigarettes and caffeine pills. Though, the only drug I "chug" is aspirin. Once I got overrun by several zombies and a couple of brutes in early game, ended up going out in a coke fuelled rampage with a baseball bat. It went rather well, until I met a hulk.
Is the drug system still borked as fuck? Last time I checked I ate almost 50 datura seeds, no effect, then I drank a whole liqour store, then I tried to OD on every single pill I could find, still no death. In real life even as little as 10 datura stramonium seeds are enough to kill you if you are unlucky.
Drugs like meth and cocaine are useful as fuck in getting away from zombie hordes imo. Meth especially, cranks your speed up to a ridiculous level. Just make sure you have somewhere to hide afterwards because you'll be in a bad place once it wears off. Also a good way to get food is to grow wheat and turn it into bread using a bit of crafting.

Im sitting on a pile of flour because of that. Biscuits are better then bread IMO.
Gonna play the new version. Haven't played in a few months. Generating a world named "Park Forest" now. Oxymorons are always good, right? [editline]18th December 2014[/editline] Welp I died because I encountered a manhack I couldn't hit or outrun

In Cataclysm everyone wants to kill you, even other players. Even I am saying it in hope that you will ignore help and advice and die.
Rico McHugh, the quick, parkour expertise, light stepped, glass-jaw mall-cop (scenario) Lets do this [editline]20th December 2014[/editline] He may not be smart or tough but he sees everything that happens in this mall [editline]20th December 2014[/editline] aka I dumped points into his perception [editline]20th December 2014[/editline] Okay, so the game glitched and I spawned in the middle of a field. [editline]20th December 2014[/editline] next tO A FUCKING LMOE SHELTER [editline]20th December 2014[/editline] no guns inside, shit, and im in the middle of nowhere with no vehicle
I think I recall seeing that issue mentioned on the forums. Something like your world didn't generate a mall, so it just random spawns you.
Creeping through the woods, find a gracken, nope [editline]20th December 2014[/editline] running [editline]20th December 2014[/editline] from the southeast you hear "Come here!" :suicide: [editline]20th December 2014[/editline] Outran 2 mi-gos and a kreck in the forest, unarmed.. Still have yet to find anything except science labs and caves :( [editline]20th December 2014[/editline] Literally ran for an hour in the woods and found fucking nothing before I died via coyote lol, 0/10 round..
When generating my last two worlds, I just held the "random name" button, closed my eyes and stopped after a few seconds. First world is called "Toast" second one just "Nice". Brilliant. [editline]21st December 2014[/editline] And in the world select screen it just says Nice Toast.
"You're bathed in radiation" Uh oh. Also, fuck turrets.
what's with the latest experimental? I can't outrun zombies anymore at the start because my character is freezing and my speed drops to 45 even with fleet footed
I haven't seen any posts about it. Make sure you're keeping warm clothes on, the game typically starts on the first day of Spring and it tends to be pretty cold.
I wish you could start mid-spring or something.
Pretty sure you can change the season and time of the first day, but I don't think you can change which day of the season it is. Too many issues with customizable seasons, I'd guess.
First day of spring is cold as fuck. It's fucked up. It used to be better. I start and my mouth is always chilly. Scarfs are extremely rare. In general the houses have too little winter gear for a region that makes you freeze during spring.
