Hm! Although I am totally able to play an ASCII-only game, tiles would be sweet.

PROTIP: If using tiles, changing the drawing color tint to match the time/climate would be that extra visual hint for it. It's trivial to do both in SDL and GL, pass the suggestion around to whoever maintains the SDL port. I can write the color code in a hurry, it's my specialty. (did TOME4's in 4 minutes).

EDIT: Just in case, the process is very simple. Just have a color stored in memory related to the climate, this can be done with a simple list and one color for each climate combo, or having them additive (such as day = rgb255,255,255 and rain = -50,-50,-50, night = rgb20,20,150, acid rain = +20,+60,+0, and so on). Then when drawing terrain tiles you modify the color accordingly, but without changing the color of entities like monsters and items (so they aren't blurred too much). Using a lantern can generate yellowish light, would add to flavor, perhaps.

Surviving pretty well currently after being lucky enough to find a purifier early on to cure my bad traits.

Anyway just found and installed some bionics and am wondering what I'm looking for in order to get a internal battery?

Another great looking mod by Deon :D Your genesis mod rekindled my love of Dwarf Fortress. Hopefully this mod can do the same for Cataclysm!

I would love to help Whales to deliver fun to you, guys :).

As I said, I want to make the floor tiles dark and comfortable, so they won't strain your eyes and the monsters will be clearly visible:

Perhaps make them a little bit lighter. When I first glanced at it, I thought the tiles were bugged, and I had to strain my eyes to see them :P

Agreed, something to make them not look like it's unseen area.

There will be graphics for each item. You cannot do it Rogue Survivor-style :).

They don't for me. Probably monitor brightness. Anyway they are in a bmp file so you can select a line they are in and brighten it up any moment :).

Aww, poor doggie :(. Now when it has a tile I don't want it to die.

Probably. You could always edit them yourself I would imagine, if you don't like the way it looks now.

Edit: It looks like one of the Vault Dweller sprites from your Wasteland mod =D

Edit edit: Do things like strawberries and mushrooms just spawn randomly?
