Bay 12 Games Forum

I found a hamlet with an asterisk in the middle of it once. It was composed of what I can only guess was the entirety of the goblin civ's military. The opening combat was basically the first 138 of them standing up and everyone getting turned into pincushions from the friendly fire.

Why do H&K 12mm have a powder component? Aren't they just cobalt spikes that you insert into the rail gun?

But even if you're blind you can still sense blood as a vampire, right?

It's akin to Cog's blind adventure, but with more of an idea where people are and a time limit until you succumb to infection.

So is there any way to remove the spent casings from a revolver if you don't have any ammo of that type left? It's kind of hard to make more when you're short by exactly the number of casings that have been inexplicably fused to the chambers.

Unload doesn't work?

Nothing I've tried has worked. Unload, reload, melting the thing in a pool of acid with debug, burning it, running it over with a road roller.

I'm guessing it's just an oversight from when they changed the way that revolvers eject casings.

So we've got Hulk Smash, but not Hulk Smash And Bash. Noted.

Well, not entirely, I think temporary strength does affect the multipliers from Muay Thai (that really needs an update on the wiki, size multipliers aren't a thing for it anymore as far as I can see) and Tiger Kung Fu.

I recently got new version of Cataclysm DDA after not playing for a long time and I don't know how to speed up reading. Is it a bug or what? It takes minutes in real time. I don't remember it being like that before. I wanted to ask that in official forum, but they got verification questions for elitist club of experts only...

Where/what are you reading? If there's a lot of activity happening around you, it'll take ages to get through. Fungals, blobs and other creatures that multiply or spawn in large numbers are especially bad for any activity that "speeds up" time. If you're reading a high level book that used to have 10 minute read times per skill update, it probably got the reading time changed to about 50 minutes.

As for their forums, I'd always figured that was why they don't have as many people on there as they really could. The game updates so quickly that I don't even remember which major structure out of those listed was supposed to be the feature of 0.B stable, so no account there for me either.

Anyways, while I'm here, I'd also like to report an issue with the Ursine mutation path in Version:93c35bb, where getting all of the mutations makes you dream about Rex and hatchlings. I think the Culler to Apex Predator and Sapiovore mutations tips something a bit too far towards Raptor. I didn't check if Beast is affected in the same way, but that might be worth looking into as well.

During my goblin world experiments where I had a brief string of only gob civs surviving I found a cluster of titan shrines up in the northwest corner due to the previously mentioned bug. Upon arriving I found some empty shrines and this:

I didn't go for the ridiculous numbers like that, but I'll have to play around with some and see what comes out, I tend to keep the numbers more reasonable, only 10 megabeasts/5 semimegabeasts/3 titans on a 17x17 because I'm trying to get surviving civs out to at least 150~ years, but damn.

I'm curious what the mods I've got in place so dragons have ~steel bones would change in the outcome, I doubt the colossi would rout everything so readily in that situation.

Huh... it genned really fast to 175 years with 1000 megabeasts and then lets me play fortress and adventurer mode with no population?

The hell?

Well, everyone is dead, so there's no personal history to gen.

I've noticed that my vampires tend to lose fewer teeth if I don't use endurance as a dump stat. Dodger is a skill affected by endurance according to the wiki, so I assume that even if you don't get tired, it helps you dodge attacks.
