They block things and let light through. Basically poor man's quarterpanels.

Yeah, I just realized this and stripped them out because the front quarter panels make them redundant

Alright, time to start up Cataclysm again.
Gotta test out max size cities :v:
[editline]edit[/editline]
Well, probably won't encounter any labs or other misc. sites...
My lab-start character was popped right in the middle of the city. Where are I going to find my precious CBMs and mutant fetuses now?!
Windshield also block wind caused by moving preventing your character from freezing. There is a bug though if the vehicle is diagonal where it won't work, similar to how zombies can get into your car.
[QUOTE=Jojje;49837750]I installed the latest experimental at work and tried to play it but I found that taking a single step took about an in-game day. Weird bug. No wonder I was getting instakilled when I stepped outside.[/QUOTE]
That ultra morbid obesity trait sounds good in theory, but you clearly have seen some of its major drawbacks.

I forgot, how do I adjust hunger/thirst? Forgot how annoying the default decay rate is.
[QUOTE=Anderan;49848386]Even with the updates to NPCs random NPCs are still terrible. Had one run up to me while I was getting attacked by a group of zombies and attack me with a crowbar. He really wanted my combat knife I guess.[/QUOTE]
I like it when they run in front of my APC that's going 50 mph, demand that I drop my melee weapon, then promptly get splattered on the pavement.
I found a full body wolf suit and a dinosaur suit within 5 minutes of starting a new game. What hell have I generated.

better than my hellish world where after hours i still cannot find a wrench
Dear game, when I reload 100 casings with 100 primers and enough powder and lead for 100 rounds, I expect 100 rounds. Not 40. That really fucks up my plan to use that fiveseven.
[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49860582]Cataclysm DDA: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (and collapsed on me)[/QUOTE]
I once had a character with some trait that gives you the shakes sometimes, didn't know they came from stimulants too. Had gotten a bunch of shit together in my emergency shelter and then I smoked a cigarette and somehow managed to drop it while sorting around in my books, it dropped on my book stash and lit on fire, burning down the shelter :saddowns:
I hate it when I start a game in a house and my starting NPC spawns with a flamethrower.
Im dead in less than 10 turns because the dipshit tried to burn a zombie and the whole house collapsed.
motherfucker since when did we have a cdda thread
I love this game
It's unfortunate that lightstrips got nerfed, being able to actually read books at night was nice.
[QUOTE=Anderan;49877432]It's unfortunate that lightstrips got nerfed, being able to actually read books at night was nice.[/QUOTE]
It is also bullshit when they claim they want a realistic game. My dad uses LED lightstrips to light the house to save on the bill and I can say from own experience I can easily read books under that light.
Yeah, I call ultra bullshit on "realism".
Mascot costumes apparently everywhere, A-OK!
Your character will happily use a dildo on themselves, A-OK!
Create a deathwagon out of a shopping cart, some scrap metal and bike parts, A-OK!(yeah, I actually like this one just FTR)
Pick your nose and the nose of monsters, acquire a vast amount of boogers and use them for a variety of recipes? .........I don't think so.
Also you can leave piles of butchered moose and deer outside your base without attracting any predators.
Speaking of moose, they're pretty much the apex predictor of cdda.

Did they make moose psychic?

[QUOTE=NeverGoWest;49878236]Did they make moose psychic?[/QUOTE]
Honestly they might as well be.
So let's sit down and have a go at this for the first time in like 6 months
[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]
so far the story is Miguel Hermez the biker, holed up in a gun shelter
[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]
Miguel knows Pentjak Silat and spawned in front of a swimmer zombie. Off to a good start
[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]
Found a shotgun and some slugs. Got lucky and made it out of the city with 21 slugs remaining. Now I'm in the forest
[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]
Found some mangled bodies and scored some cocaine and one of them happened to have some buckshot. Yess
[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]
So, running along a road, I just discovered a raccoon getting chased by a mob of zombies that is now chasing me.
Nothing like walking into a town only to find it full of corpses because of a rampaging moose.
A smart survivor always carries a sawn-off with him or her to survive in the event of a moose attack.
So I escaped said zombie mob, but running from them I was forced to run acrossed a bridge that of course ended in the largest town I've discovered on this world so far.
Well, needless to say I spent the next 5 minutes running like fucking hell and snorting cocaine and blasting anything that came within 1 tile of me with buckshot.
I found a solar car eventually that I took and slammed into reverse and sped down a street backwards with until I turned and pulled a J turn and self righted myself at an intersection. Zombies were coming from my 2:00, 3:00 and 9:00 at this point, so I gunned it straight acrossed an empty lot, came to a building, slammed the brakes and turned hard right at ~30mph. Speeding down a city street with a shit ton of cars all over the place, zombies of all varieties were noticing the commotion and headed towards my direction, coming out of the stores and gathering in the streets. All was going well until I skimmed the back of a vehicle in the street that was perpendicular to me(really like how the car when it was skimmed actually rolled a bit forward), killing the engine in the flimsy-ass solar car.
So now I'm stuck going 50mph towards, coincidentally, a police blockade, surrounded by more zombies, with a turret in the center that's going ballistic. Well, unable to stop, I made one last effort to do some damage, so I aimed the car right at a feral hunter that was approaching my slowly decelerating car. I slammed into it, pinned it into the corner of a building, jumped out of the car, and finished it with a pump of buckshot before zombies started flooding in all around me.
The next few minutes I don't really remember but it was something along the line of a series of "Fuck, fuck, fuck" as more and more zombies started cornering me in. At least, when all seemed at its' grimmest, I managed to make it out of the thick urban jungle, made it out onto the flat dirt outskirts of town, and then was promptly slaughtered by giant ants.
Such is life in CDDA

Where do you guys spend your first night before you find a lmoe/cabin/whatever? If I don't find a cabin my first day I usually die lmao
[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]
Made a bionic abandoned patient with the frail perk and all. Well I made my str 14, dext 11, and intelligence 12 and took Krav Maga and 3 points in bashing weapons and 3 points in dodging. I spawned in a hospital room with a boomer and some zombies. Made it out of the hospital. Step outside and see this

[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]
Forgot to mention I named the character Bionic Chuck Norris for whatever reason
[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]
Casually walked up to a helicopter wreck. Found shockwave generator CBM. Activated it.
80% chance of genetic damage they said. Successfully installed :v:
Now to find out how efficient this thing is when it's running on fucking batteries lol
[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]
Also found a Railgun CBM, wasn't somebody asking about that the other day?
[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]
Yeah well I tried to install the railgun and failed and I mutated Head Bumps and Padded Feet
hahahah silly cataclysm doN'T YOU KNOW I'VE ALREADY DECIDED TO BECOME A MONSTER
[editline]7th March 2016[/editline]

[i]"Greetings from Super LA, wish you where here.
The weather is nice, and the hellish zombie apocalypse is mild this time of year."[/i]
I was fairly lucky with my spawn, seeing as I didn't start in a lab.
I've taken residence in a subway station near the [b][i]only[/b][/i] open area I've seen.
Scavenged some El-cars and made a solar farm with replacable batteries and kitchen facilities.
Set up a large tent, wood stove, and a replacable battery/floodlight-thingy down in the subway. Living it up Metro 2033 style :v:
Debating whether or not I should build a small metro cargo vehicle and only travel by the subway lines.
Also, I used a restaurant map:
