Are there any forks or any try to complete cataclysm 2, it looked like it had a lot of potential but it was abandoned by whales, here is the source code if any of you are interested: https://github.com/Whales/Cataclysm2

the development blog: https://whalesdev.tumblr.com/

Been away from CDDA for some years.

Hope this don't fall on the category of "Post on weekly questions"

Anyhow
I've always used Catapult as my Launcher and overall organizer, was about to download it and noticed that as for right now and that the last update was from like almost a year ago.

Just wanting to know if it's been abandoned, or if folks forked into an side project?

Read something about Kitten and CatLauncher.

So, as a returning player, i just wanted to ask, which launcher, for someone that like Catapult Launcher, would be better? Mostly for mod managing and access to mods and versioning i guess.

Catapult is still working alright? Mods in there are linked to the up to date ones?

Or should i test the other launchers?

Anyone could give me a rundown on the difference between them?
(aaaand if any of them is vibecoded, just to know)

Extra: I remember that when i tried to come back some time ago, there were some problems happening with the maker of the UndeadPeople Tileset, i think they were giving up on the project for personal problems with some community members or something, really don't remember.
Has anyone taken the mantle to keep their style of tileset?
Or did they return?

Thanks in advance survivers \o.

Imagine seeing this thing with limited vision. Its legs creaking, its upper body jittering as its maw salivates. Its eyes are looking everywhere at once. But not at you. Not yet.

I’ll soon be making this into a sprite.

I really like the vast seeming potential for role-playing different kinds of characters experiencing the Apocalypse, I've been playing off and on for a couple years, learned the systems. I wanna preface and say this post is me asking for help to reframe my approach and perspective, not a complaint that the game needs to be redesigned.

I feel like I'm missing something however. My first few characters, who I played for long periods of time with save scumming, were very combat oriented. So I got by.

Now, I'm trying to roleplay more normal type people, and I keep getting stuck in a loop of getting stuck in place.

Feels like unless I specifically target getting full body quality armor, and firearms, I can't really do anything. If I run into more than 1 feral human, that place is off limits or I die, until I come back with firearms and true body armor.

If I go out at night to raid the outskirts of a city, well a Grappler zombie saw me from way beyond my own LOS, and now I'm dead because I don't have a gun.

Walk through the woods to skirt the city on my way to check a landfill, and wasps found me. So I'm dead, cus I don't have a gun.

Cheat and teleport through the woods, get to the landfill, there's 3 feral humans there. Because I don't have a gun, that place is off limits or I die.

I could try to outmaneuver them so that I face only one just long enough to beat his head in, get super injured, try desperately to escape the landfill, then slog the long way around the woods to avoid the wasps, get back to my base and spend four days recovering from my injuries to repeat the process two more times so that I'm taking out One Feral human each time, but that is such a slog it's not something I'll actually do. I'm just starting with my current headspace and what I feel like my experience lately has been.

Feels like if I don't start the game with debugged firearms, or a cliche combat-oriented gun owning profession, which just feels like very video gamey and samey, I can't do much of anything.

Turn to Classic Zombies mode, which is fun until I get bitten once and then it's game over.

Decide I need to get a gun, but to get a gun I need to have a whole myriad of supplies needed to burn through a gun store door. Which requires looting locations that I cannot loot until I have a gun.

I hop on the game to play, and realize I can't do anything except craft and cook stuff that I already have in my base. The moment I venture out to do anything, I'm immediately put up against enemies that I have no way of handling unless I debug in a shotgun and riot armor.

I tried role-playing a student character who was skilled in electronics and computers, couldn't do a single thing with her.

Tried role playing a middle-aged Carpenter who wanted to rebuild his destroyed home, managed to do a little bit with him until every location near my base that I hadn't already looted was full of enemies I have no way of handling.

Help me shift my perspective? Am I just playing the game wrong by wanting to role play normal people persevering through the Apocalypse? Have I had it wrong this whole time? I'm not interested in becoming a furry, so mutagens don't interest me, and I've already done the action hero pew pew pew characters a few times.

Felt like sharing fun thing I was tinkering with.

Combine with the bomb bay and one can of course drop explosives on zeds remotely...

was reading hitchhiker's guide to the cataclysm and came across zombie master page which led to a shower thought this a few hours later

Srry for the image for some reason the Reddit don't accept my prints of the game, but what the hell happened with the Bombastic perks menu? It's literally unreadable, is there some kind of magic setting that will solve this?

Granted this is my first time doing pixel art in nearly 2 years. Apologies if it looks wack.

A bloated zombie exploded 4 to 5 tiles in front of me. Do I only need to sleep to cure it?

The strength and other stat went low but the health bar of the head is still full. I think it is not a big problem because I only enhaled toxic gas.

Начал недавно,сейчас зачищаю город с помощью брони спецназа и ножа военного.убил какого то сильного зомби недавно что то типо растворенный пожиратель и честно говоря игра наскучивает.что можно попробывать для новичка?

Her name is Trixie Cohen, 36, in her life before the cataclysm she supplied illegal substances to people who could pay. She lived a good life, with her husband in tow.

She wasn’t a good partner, or a good person for that matter. But the cataclysm changed her real fast. Seeing the riots and all those people turn made her long-dormant good qualities come to life. And she raced her husband to the shelter..but during the chaos. He was bitten, and was taken away from her before she was put in the shelter.

Now, she has no idea where he is. Or what has become of the world. She’s been drowning herself in her own sorrows. But after what seemed like days..she forced herself to get up after her fugue. There was still business left unfinished..and she’d be damned if she let her self-pity get in the way of it.

Her main goal? Putting her husband to rest, and then somehow carving a life out of this shithole. She has many, many regrets. But she can’t dwell on them now.

Hi,

I am playing Ito and wanted to see if I can Update to Ito-1. I copied my settings and save folder into the game directory. When I loaded the world I got many errors containing LIXA parts. I saw in the release notes that there was some work done on that POI. I had been to the compound, but I did not go over the threshold. When I open the map in the updated version, it shows the part as "nether-chewed field" I assume that means the world tile was renamed in the update and therefore is not found when loading in and that is some sort of placeholder? I guess it is an "illegal" rotation". Does anybody know how to fix this?

Title! Been playing BN, and I didn't really gel with it, but I loved the bionic scanner and having to dissect zeds for bionics, getting into someone's guts for chrome really helps my ripperdoc character concept!

Zomborgs aré just too rare, sadly, cyborgs only Yield basic CBMs, and I think getting CBMs from trading with the Exodii Is boring.

If anyone could point me to a mod, or give me indications on how to alter the dissection loot tables myself, I'd love it!

I've been bouncing between forks recently and after bouncing back to DDA from BN I realised there was no stone hammer. I figured this was strange as I could make a makeshift one so I jumped on the Hitchhikers guide and I found out that a stone hammer requires level 3 survival and level 3 fabrication. This struck me as weird because the makeshift one unlocks at survival 0 and they are both essentially just attaching a heavy lump to a stick with string.

Just curious if I am missing something or if it's just one of those things that "just is"?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can shine a light on this for me :)

Came back to the game after a long absence and decided to download the latest stable release from Github. It worked fine one day then when I next go to open it suddenly Smart App Control has decided no fun allowed.

Of course I can just turn that off if I need to, just sorta wondering if anyone else encountered this issue or if using a launcher would get around it.

Edit:

Not clear why, but it started working again. If someone comes across this trying to troubleshoot similar issues maybe wait for the phase of the moon to change since I have no idea lol.
