My bowels are constantly aching. I am unfamiliar with this new feature. Is it because I eat nothing but dandelion greens?

Next time take the disease immunity trait.

Doesn't make you immune unfortunately, just raises the thresholds.

[i2amroy]

No, there's actually a trait called "disease immunity" that can be mutated from the "disease resistant" trait that you can normally pick in chargen (I believe you can take the immunity right at the start if you go with one of the mutant scenarios). Having disease immunity actually makes you immune to getting sick.

Nope, I did get sick just before 0.C with immunity.

[i2amroy]

I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

Code: [Select]

void player::get_sick()
{
    if (has_trait("DISIMMUNE")) {
        return;
    }

    if (!has_effect("flu") && !has_effect("common_cold") &&
        one_in(900 + get_healthy() + (has_trait("DISRESISTANT") ? 300 : 0))) {
        if (one_in(6) && !has_effect("flushot")) {
            add_env_effect("flu", bp_mouth, 3, rng(40000, 80000));
        } else {
            add_env_effect("common_cold", bp_mouth, 3, rng(20000, 60000));
        }
    }
}I was the last one to touch the relevant lines,

Code: [Select]

    if (has_trait("DISIMMUNE")) {
        return;
    }and I did so on July 31, 2014. And that was a move PR, so the original code has been around longer than that. I don't know what happened with you, but it did not pass through this piece of code, which is the only place in the whole codebase that will infect you with the flu or common cold in vanilla C:DDA. (Of course if you were playing a modded C:DDA then all bets are off, but in that case any testimony you have on the fact is irrelevant since it would only apply to said mod anyways).

Tbh, I don't like disease in it's current form. Especially common cold. It does not add to gameplay, it just slows it down. Meaning, it forces me to do completely uninsteresting, repetitive things for a considerable amount of RL game time.

Also: how do eating habits exactly influence disease? In my last game, I was on a strict regime of 1 - 2 vitamins a day, yet I kept getting the cold over and over again. I thought I did have a pretty varied diet too. Only thing I didn't have much of was fruit (one and a half year ingame time, guess the rng just did not like me to have irradiated fruits, they barely spawned, and I didn't get into farming blueberries this time around).

I think eating any kind of junk food is bad.

Also, I'm going to get into manufacturing alpha mutagen once spring come. But the things are bloody expensive in terms of ressource (They need 2 bird, 2 plants, 2 slime mutagen and 4 purifier each. Crafting everything from scratch, that's 40 bleach, 24 ammonia, 3 bird eggs, 6 plant marrox, 6 blob globs and 52 tainted meat (or 70 blob glob)). And over 4 hours of crafting.

So I want the most bang for my buck. So is it better to consume 1 serum, or 2 mutagens?

[Blaze]

Regular mutagen has I think a 50% chance of a mutation, plus another 33% chance for a second mutation.
Serum guarantees at least 3 mutations, and have a high chance for getting 3 more.

You need to take anti-parasitic drugs, puffybabe.

[martinuzz]

I stumbled into a roadblock guarded by a chicken walker and some soldier zombies. Now the zombies are no problem with some preparation.

But those chickens.

I read on the wiki that an EMP grenade can turn them friendly. How many EMP grenades would I need? One enough?

[Sheb]

You need scrambler grenade for them to turn friendly, but 2-3 EMP grenade should fry them.

[Twiggie]

I assume the whole alt-tabbing with fullscreen issue is known about?

[Descan]

The blackness? I just open the map and close it again to fix it. The game still works, the graphics just have yet to update.

So that leads into at least how to fix it, if the game can sense alt-tabbing, make it refresh the graphics when it becomes focused on.

[Greiger]

It happens when widowed as well, I play cata at work between taking calls and i always have to open and close the map to get it to display afterward.  Not that it bothers me much, just adding more detail to the report.

Not the case for ascii, at least on my Win7 laptop and desktop.
