Question.
Is the tutorial building still destructible?
If it is, I think something should be done.

[DrPoo]

Pretty awesome effect you got there.  Fire actually is capable of wrecking buildings with that system then, instead of just spreading a little bit and then refusing to spread to the rest of the building.  And wow is it quick.

Spoiler: Nothing but red 4s visible as far as the cursor can take me in every direction but east. (click to show/hide)

Keep up the good work escaping that building was a blast!

Holy fucking shit thats apocalyptic.
Darkling, dont fix this pleeeehse!

It's not a bug, it's fully intended behaviour.

I think the tutorial building being destructable is one of the best lessons there is though. Set the place on fire and you get to see what not to do in your safehouse

Alright, been a while since I last cracked open the Cataclysm source code.  What's a feature someone would like to see added?

[ChairmanPoo]

And CP, both vehicles and the lightning mod have caused some slowdown from what I understood of the benchmark discussions up until now - since both are in this version, that could well be the cause. Something I or someone else might look into sooner rather than later.

Nice

[The Darkling Wolf]

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure we've already optimized both of them as much as is possible to do.

Although, do you self compile or play the precompiled version?

[Girlinhat]

Vehicles and lights are big processes.  You can optimize them a lot, but in the end, if you want nice things you're gonna get some drag

Feature request! Rotten corpses, meat and veggi disappears a week after it goes rotten.  The corpses outside my safehouse are practically a carpet at this point, and it will probably take days to butcher it all and throw it in a fire.

How about the wiki? Do you expand the wiki to cover stuff in the post-Whales release

Is it good that i managed to blow it up on my first try?
Didn't manage to figure out how to escape tough.

Is it possible to add broken down cars on the road, with a rare chance of a working one? It seems strange that the only cars in the world are parked neatly in parking lots.

This sounds really great. Random broken cars that have a few car parts and mayby some stuff you'd expect to find in a car trunk.

I'll see.  I'm not too familiar with time issues or adding and removing items, but it should be plausible.  Probably won't work very well...  I think tweaking the rot function will be the only method.  Cataclysm doesn't actually track time on items, there is no "X ticks until rot" there is instead "Item was created on X" and then it calculates as needed.  This helps deal with things like items outside the active map, that will rot as soon as you enter the area, instead of constantly counting their rot.

This should be easier.  In theory, it's just a matter of accessing the mapgen, and tweaking the "place an item here" to include a damage value.  Then you should be able to get things like ruined cars, torn sneakers, bent pipes, etc.

Wouldnt it be easier to have ruined versions of the pregenned cars and have those genned instead?
I want wrecked cars too

Also make brushes less of a death trap plz

Seriously. It should not hurt every damn time I happen to step on a tile of bramble or a brush. Rubble actually makes sense to get hurt by, but you should just be slowed by shrubs and brushes. It honestly doesn't make any damn sense to me. I get hurt more by walking through forests than by enemies.
