Don't worry! A brief looksee at the monsters list on the wiki reveals that at least some of them won't look like kids anymore!

Have fun!

Oh, and if you destroy the school by, say, burning it down, you won't lose morale from killing the kids inside, though some of the kids might just turn into the burned variants, which still look like kids enough for you to feel bad about killing them.

Have fun!

...hmmm.  So, if we set a zombie dog on fire, would it convert to a hot dog?

[pisskop]

Yes, but not an uncooked campfire dog, which is the only kind the average apocalypse survivor cares about.

FYI we landed one of the proposed ranges rebalance, roughly doubling the effective range of most guns.

[AzyWng]

Does this mean turrets can shoot us from twice as far now? Because IIRC that was brought up nice when someone asked why people can’t shoot too far.

[Egan_BW]

Turrets, being automated silicon shooting machines, are probably more limited by their vision than ballistic max range, right?

Anyway, I'm glad that the range was increased, azmodean, even if I doubt that I'll ever actually find a gun that I can use on any of my characters.
(Unless I start as a profession that starts with one, or perhaps inside a gun store. But where's the fun in that? ;P )

[se5a]

That's good, I was starting to realize that my reflex re-curve bow was far superior to any assault rifle I had.

[kulik]

Did some preliminary tests...this is AWESOME! Having a gun now really will make a difference. Congrats.

Figured I'd check out the latest version, thing is, no idea where to get it or if there are more than one 'latest versions'. Is the original link still viable? If so, how is experimental vs stable on updates? If not, where can I find the latest versions?

[azmodean]

Current main page is https://cataclysmdda.org/ download links to latest builds are toward the bottom.

Stable was last updated in 2015 and will probably be updated in the year we get mass produced infantry railguns irl.

Experimental is updated anywhere from every few minutes to every few hours, but you don't need to bother downloading the latest build more than once every week unless the one you currently have has particularly aggravating bugs. I think I remember there being an auto-updating version too if you really, really want to stay up to date at all times for some reason.

So just to doublecheck, the downloads here are experimental and not the old stables, right?

[Greiger]

Those look to be experimentals.  When you click on the version you want it brings you to a page with a bunch of dates on it.  For example at time of this writing I get as the last 3 entries:

[   ]   cataclysmdda-0.C-7429.zip   2018-05-26 08:05   61M   
[   ]   cataclysmdda-0.C-7431.zip   2018-05-26 11:09   61M   
[   ]   cataclysmdda-0.C-7432.zip   2018-05-26 13:02   61M   

In this case cataclysmdda-0.C-7432.zip 2018-05-26 13:02 would be the latest version.  Released for download at 1:02 PM on May 26th 2018.   While the others would be very slightly out of date versions you could download if for instance you encountered some major bug with the latest that does not have a fix available yet and wanted to go back a couple versions to a point where yer still newer than stable, but hopefully before the bug was introduced.

Those are all version 0.C the 4 digit number afterwards is (I believe) the release number after stable, so in that example the latest (should be) the 7432'nd experimental version of the game to be released after stable, and I use it as a rough estimate of how much has changed between versions.

This is amazing.

[Greiger]

Considering that more creatures would be getting turns in the amount of time, it would probably be the only way to play the game where moving onto a bush actually does actually take longer for the player.
