The @ screen shows you traits and mutations. Mutations are a form of trait, hence the reason you can gain start-of-game traits from mutations.

I love the vending machines. Slight bug though, if you buy the last item in the machine it segfaults. I'm guessing it moves the selection to the next item in the list on purchase, which is beyond the end of the list.

Yeah, I have a subway station right near my base. Kinda handy, since I've found a few cash cards. Anyone know if there is a way to combine their values? At a bank, maybe? Or are all of these 500 and 800 value cards I have worthless?

Who needs cash cards? Real men smash the machine and take the goodies.

There are ATM machines at some gas stations that let you store money in an account and combine cards.

Most vending machines have an ATM beside them.  You can use them to transfer value from one card to another.  Same machine exists in banks.

I found a R870 shotgun. Using the stuff I found in a gun nut's basement, I added a match trigger, ergonomic grip, brass catcher, adjustable stock, rail-mounted crossbow, and a sword bayonet. It seems that bayonets and the railbow don't work. When I try to fire the railbow, I can only target my own tile, and it won't fire anyway. With the bayonets(tried with the above sword bayonet, plus a pistol bayonet on a Rivtech Automagnum), the guns still do only bash attacks, without any increased damage as far as I could tell.


Also, is there any good modding guide? The wiki is outdated, and I don't remember seeing much on the Cataclysm forum.

[Mephansteras]

Cool, thanks. I hoped that was the case but there haven't been any near me so far. I'll keep an eye out.

[chevil]

Haha, yeah, that'd probably work. The large tank holds... 225 water, I think. That'll take 15 packs of tablets. XD I think charcoal is in far more plentiful supply.

FOODCO kitchen buddy can purify water.

[Tawa]

The description for the FOODCO Kitchen Buddy is hilarious.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I'd have to find, or make the FOODCO kitchen buddy first.

Also, update on the tilesets, for anyone who uses them:

HRose's 10x10 Tileset:

I don't know whether HRose made those tiles, or found them somewhere, but his(her?) ASCII/Retro tileset pretty much sparked this whole thing. It's a crisp set with fairly small tiles, nice and good looking.

New! HRose's 10x10 Tileset modified by Sean Mirrsen:

A stupidly minor modification that I find at least partially eye-pleasing, this is a version of the 10x10 HRose's tileset with slightly smoothed wall corners.

New! Cheepicus's 12x12 Tileset:

An alternative to Herrbdog's somewhat dark set in the 12x12 size, this set is reasonably nice to look at and easy to read.

Herrbdog's 12x12 Tileset:

This is my favorite tileset for playing Dwarf Fortress. It's a little darker than normal, but the 3D-ish shading makes it look interesting. For Cataclysm, it's also quite serviceable, and with the recent zoom function it retains good legibility on the zoomed-out view.

Herrbdog's 12x12 Tileset, modified by Sean Mirrsen:

A curious recent addition to Tileset Editor allowed me to craft this interesting variant of Herrbdog's tileset, that uses a colored outline instead of a full-tile fill to display background color. The result looks a little cleaner, though with the size of most tiles the effect is almost unnoticeable.

New! Zaratustra's 16x16 Tileset:

Since Zara's 8x8 tiles mysteriously stopped working for me, I decided to get one of his/her larger tilesets up. This one was particularly useful to me when I was playing the game on my FullHD 11-inch tablet - the font size is juuust right.

New! HRose's 10x10 set, upscaled to 20x20:

Rounding up the additions with something in generously oversized, this set is suprisingly good to look at at normal zoom and screen size, and allows using the zoom function to see more of the area, as long as your PC can take the performance hit.

I removed the 8x8 Zara set because it mysteriously stopped working, but I don't think anyone here actually has screens that low-res. Anyways, these sets should - finally - actually cover all the standard tiles, and look more or less SDL-like. There were a few fairly stupid issues in places, because of how random Cata's standards for Json definitions are, but I think I squashed them all and got a few tilesets you people can use freely out of it.

I just butchered a moose and got a "chunk of fat". I searched the wiki but there was no information on it.

So what can you do with it(Other than make soap)?

Make it into tallow, which can either be emergency food or ingredient in several different things - from what I remember seeing you can make cookies with it, and candles.

[Girlinhat]

Tallow, Sausage, Cracklins, and "Manwurst".  Sausages and Tallow don't go bad, and Tallow can be used in place of cooking oil for most recipes, as well as lamp oil.  Cracklins are just a way to eat the fat a little better than raw, and "Manwurst" are cannibal sausages.

If you have a charcoal smoker, Sausage doesn't go bad.  Good for stockpiling if you've got some salt!

Just noticed a bug.  Used a repair kit to restore a firefighter PBA mask, and then reinforce it.  Used the repair yet again, and it removed the reinforcement, with a message that I'd repaired it.  Used it again, and it put the reinforcement back on again.  Repair kit charges were used every time.

Like the modified HRose Sean! Nice Work.
