Are pikes just automatically bad in C:DDA?

Preeetty much, yeah.

[MrRoboto75]

I assume the melee reach is supposed to make them good, but it doesn't really.

[duckman]

Did they make glass harder to break by thowing at some point? I chucked the same lit molotov into a wall 18 times before it finally went up.

I've been on a survival kick recently and picked up C:DDA again.

Boy, is this game hard or what. Each time I play, I'm often dead within a day or so, and this is after creating a character that, at least to me, seems like he can survive for a while.

[ollobrains]

get past the first day and generally u can do a lot better.

[catacombs]

True. The trick is getting past the first day. 

[forsaken1111]

Just sleep in until 5am the next day and problem solved

spear enthusiasts rejoice, the Knife spear got some love in the latest experimentals also they added a Spike Spear and some other improvements. on the downside, there's now a Skeletal Shocker or some thing like that...

So just to update anyone who may be curious.
I added the vehicle autodrive feature, so you can reduce the tedium of long car journeys.

Works like the player autotravel thing, select a destination on the overmap, and then itll drive you there.

Dont 100% trust it, I've had it freak out and drive my loot-mobile directly into a river once, but it's 99% there, just a bit... experimental lol

Also added other stuffs like Vehicle faction ownership, so factions can have vehicles in their maps defined as owned by them , and if you try and steal them, theyll get angry.

Made Dynamic NPCs travel across the overmap, even outside the reality bubble, and they dont walk across rivers and lakes anymore.

Added nets and bolas to entangle creatures and NPCs.

Working on more NPC activities like farming and a new Biker Gang faction hiding out in a junkyard currently.

Please tell me meth bike and the general "screw the world, we're having the time of our lives" ideas made it in. :>

Meanwhile, I finally merged the arcana update I was working on, Jonathan now has some basic missions you can pursue, the third of which has much potential for !!FUN!! if tackled carelessly. And now as a bit of belated to-do I'm overhauling some currency and merch stuff. The Cleansing Flame holdout will soon have their own currency based off an idea I've rolled with in some writing before, and the correct currency will see.

It's gonna look a bit weird compared to Robofac's obscenely-expensive gold coins, but the two currencies operate on different logic. The Robofac stuff seems to be designed for trade with the outside world and uses sane real-world values for its pricing.

The Cleansing Flame stuff is instead based on the idea I had of the order setting aside measured amounts of precious metals of verified purity and weight, for crafting or repairing magical items. This makes it basically improvised currency, and the values used are derived from scrap gold's in-game value. Even though the pre-cataclysm price is hilariously low (silver is even more screwy), this produces a number that's much more usable for trade than the 9 Benjamins each Robofac coin is valued at.

Yes, they just wanna get high and ride their bikes.

Is it just me or has the unstable version been unusually unstable lately? I rarely can play even 15-20 minutes without it crashing.

Has it gotten worse in the last 10 days? My version is from the 4th and anything from holding move commands too long while riding a horse to standing next to a tall building full of zombies has caused crashes.

[dpwb]

Ive been playing the recent master fresh off the git for hours. and no crashes at all for me.
And in recent weeks, hardly any crashes.

Interested in that horse crash though, would it be possible for you to do a bug report on the github?
