Atomic nightlights, or oil lamps? Theoretically a cranial flashlight with the joint torsion ratchet would be free.

Cranial flashlight for sure. It consumes very little power, even when left on for long periods of time. Although a semi-sustainable method of generating bionic power[EG: Not Battery or Ethanol] would sort of be required for true convenience.

That sounds like what I want, if not a little hard to find and obtain.

Utility bionics are relatively easy to get from labs, both from butchering zombie scientists and as loot. Although you need decent[I did fine with three] computers skill so as to hack the bionics storage thing without getting shot to death by secubots. Aside from that, if you have something non-conductive to deal with the odd bio-operator, you should be perfectly safe if you remember to peek around all the doorways with your light off to avoid getting killed by turrets.

Atomics are the way of the future!

Hey people,

- I've played a lot of Cataclysm back a few version ago.
- I've played lot of Projetct Zomboid before it was lost and back again.

How they compair today, beside one is turn based and other real time ? Or they can't be in competition together for whatever reason ?

Thanks

I played some zomboid recently. It only made me want to go play cataclysm instead because theres so much more one can do in cata.

I tried a demo of Zomboid a long time ago. The premises have similarities, you're a survivor of a zombie apocalypse with permadeath and item crafting, but even the basics of gameplay differ so much, it and C:DDA can't really be compared.

The only thing I don't like about the refugee center is that there's no fridge. I had to drag one from a nearby town.

Modding question: how do I add modded-in buildings to the map generation? It's not automatic, is it?

IIRC once you've made the building itself you need to give it a matching overmap tile defintion in data/json/overmap_terrain.json, and then add it to either data/json/regional_map_settings.json or data/json/overmap_specials.json, depending on what exact type of building it is and how you want it to spawn.

No way to do it in the mod itself? That makes it a little harder to distribute the mod unless - derp - I can add the appropriate entries in the mod folder. I'm mostly done with it, just have to finish with recipies, the building I wanted to add, and *shudder* balance.

For some reason peeking doesn't work for me. Even when I peek with the lights off the turret gets a burst fire off.

Well, zombie has better graphics and is realtime, and catalog has everything else... I hate all survival games now because cataclysm DDA is so good.

[BigD145]

Cataclysm, with its vastly superior use of graphics, will run on almost anything that has a CPU. It's also got other features. Full keyboard recommended.

You might be able to do it by just overriding the vanilla things with slightly changed duplicates (though that would break pretty quickly). I'm not quite sure if we actually support any good way to edit those particular files through the mod system right now.

Huh, maybe its changed since the version I played, but the turrets in labs usually gave me a turn's warning by going "Beep-beep-beep!", which is usually enough to close the door and scram[Or shoot them with a gun, if that's your style.]. Not that its foolproof, sometimes the turret was positioned so as to get a shot off at me, but as long as you've got decent head protection and lots of bandages[Which are also found everywhere in labs], it should be survivable. Although the pain would leave you unable to melee bio-operators, which is bad.

By peeking, are you guys talking about using the overly convoluted thing that changes your view to be around the corner while keeping you in the same spot?

Yes, "X". That's what I'M talking about, at least. Sorry, should have made that clear. Sometimes even that's not safe, since just opening the door puts you in the turret's sights.

[Greiger]

I think you can actually peek through the door with X even when closed.  Don't quote me on that though might be thinking windows.

Open them diagnolly with the numpad and then peek.

Yes that would be windows.

Sometimes the hallway/room thingy is weirdly shaped though, and opening the door diagonally means you're right in front of the turret. Usually works fine though.
