Oh hey, there's a thread for this! Anyway:

^{Note: this almost certainly doesn't actually work}

Now we need a communist revolutionary mutation tree. We even have a communist faction in the game so it would actually make sense to have it! jk

[i2amroy]

No, but now I know what that is. Also, now I kinda wish it was possible to mod mutations through json alone.

We're getting closer! You can already handle the 4 main stat effects through the JSON files (STR, INT, PER, and DEX) and I'm currently working on a bit of a mutation rewrite that should hopefully make it fairly easy to move a few other effects out as well. (Though, like bionics, a lot of stuff is still gonna remain hardcoded, simply because it can't really be pulled out.)

[TheBronzePickle]

Is it just me, or did competitive real-life Minesweeper see some kind of popularity spike before the Cataclysm?

Seriously, though, there are landmines everywhere. Landmines in farms. Landmines in yards. Landmines in the road. Landmines in the city. Landmines in the country. Hell, there's probably landmines in the river. I can't describe to you how many times I've seen a bear explode.

[Aseaheru]

Its called mine-laying artillery.

Although, the real-life minesweeper does sound better.

[Baffler]

Is there any reliable and/or renewable source of salt or salt water? I'm trying to do my own tanning and I can't for the life of my find any of the stuff.

[Aseaheru]

Rivers/marshes, and thats about it.

[Baffler]

That's handy, I'm right next to a river and a swamp. Thanks.

[Aseaheru]

Welcome.

Cant you also use the oak bark thing?

[WillowLuman]

So... there anyone that knows lore stuff here? The game's focused on New England (which is also the worst-affected area on the planet, if I understand correctly?), but I wonder how the oceans are doing? Because, after "What about the astronauts?" my first question in apocalypse settings is "What about the nuclear submarine sailors under the North Pole?"

[Aseaheru]

Nothings really mentioned about any of those.

[TheBronzePickle]

The submariners are probably the folks most likely to survive an apocalypse, really, unless it's a nuclear or other war-based apocalypse, in which case they spend the rest of their lives hunting each other down.

[Aseaheru]

It is. Partially.

As best can be figured, during a terrorist attack using dirty bombs (probably started by china) something cockedup in some labs that where working on teleportation (And had already met the slime, and where testing out mutagens and similar on infected humans), releasing slime, nether creatures, and a hell of alot of ash.

I think there where also riots ongoing.

Astronauts would survive the apocalypse too, except they'd run out of supplies at some point and be stranded to starve, unless they wanted to attempt a landing in the escape craft with no one on the ground capable of assisting.

If you have static NPCs on, one mentions the 2nd Fleet sailing around the Atlantic coast offering aid and sending out representatives. I'd say the oceans are doing just fine.

Well, probably not the fishes, that fleet has to be fed somehow.

Request to make zombie whales a thing. Not specifically an actual creature, but mentioned. As well as zombie/skeletal giant sponges. That scare off entire fleets and are immortal.
