I don't think cities would be that interesting if they were mostly rubble, I mean if parts of it were that'd be okay but not the entire thing.

It's not all rubble. It's rubble mixed in with half destroyed buildings. Buildings with only the first 5 floors intact for example. That way you can still explore abandoned apartment buildings without having to deal with the tedium of exploring abandoned apartment buildings.

As far as zombie apartment exploration is concerned though, I think Death Road to Canada does it best.

I still think some of the cities should be intact.

Rubble cities does sound really boring. Part of the prerogative of the players that do want to explore urban regions, would be the massive high-rises and dense building placement. Just having thing as rubble would just make it the situation I mentioned about the mass clustered suburbs, but even more worse.

If someone wants to explore 20-something story building in the first place, let them. And the buildings in a urban region don't have to be uniform and can be varied, just as the default suburban regions are with special buildings other than Residential Houses. Mixed-Use Developments, Corporate Towers, Car Park Buildings, Urban Shopping Centers, Stadiums, etc.

I still say that high rises with makeshift bridges and walkways built between them would make for some great NPC towns/communes when someone gets NPC's in good working order

Meanwhile in modding...stuff for BN is going slowly yet steadily, but I've got a lot of mods I need to set aside 0.F Stable versions for DDA, because there's been a wave of merged PRs breaking mods I need to update for. Given I've been juggling a lot of offline shit lately, gonna take a bit for me to get all this shit updated. @.@

[King Zultan]

If anyone's interested I found a someone has gathered a bunch of the mods into one thing you can download, there's a fallout and Warhammer 40K mod in there.

Mods

[Iceblaster]

Fair warning, there's a lot of drama between the compiler of this pack and the kenan mod pack, I'd say stay away from their discords unless you absolutely need to and I'm mainly just saying this as someone who finds the drama annoying bc there's no real clear story imo.

[Random_Dragon]

Going to Kenan's server should generally be fine now, from what I've seen the drama regarding GoatGod has calmed down there. It was basically just personal stuff between the two of them, so Kenan seems to have tried to keep it from boiling over to affect the server as a whole. Plus, that server isn't really for Kenan's mod compilation but is for CDDA/CBN modders in general, so.

No idea on GoatGod's server but I'd hope things between the two of them haven't affected their server as a whole, just that I'm not on that server to confirm for myself.

[King Zultan]

I didn't know about any drama, I just found the mods through the CDDA github when they merged part of some mod into the game.

[teoleo]

finally i have found a safe place, for now..., a cottage in the wood.
I have food pace and space....but how i can make or find water???

[Salmeuk]

Teoleo, assuming this hasn't changed in xx months, you should try to score a funnel in town. Then you can place that funnel into a water jug or other container and leave it outside for the rain to collect. If you don't have a funnel you can craft one with a knife and a plastic jug. I believe.

Otherwise, some forest buildings spawn with a basement with a well or water pump. Those are practically cheating, and very handy!

Your third option is to build a vehicle or bicycle or shopping cart or sledge to haul large amounts of water from a far away source.

[teoleo]

thk...

[Random_Dragon]

Forests can also have puddles of water here and there, and sometimes ponds spawn innawoods too.

[teoleo]

but this is unclean water...

[Robsoie]

To make clean water simply, you need
- a fire
- a pot/teapot/etc.. to boil the water in the fire
- a container that has the unclean water in it or unclean water you have put in it yourself
- an empty container (to put the once cleaned water into) like an empty bottle or a glass jar
then use the "&" menu (or Enter -> Craft -> Craft Items) and "clean water"

Note : starting a fire could lead into it spreading accidentally to nearby tiles, sometime hurting you a lot if unlucky or destroying stuff you may have wanted to not destroy.
A fire ring is a solution for that as it will contain the fire, you'll need :
a digging tool (a digging stick can be made of a simple heavy stick or a plank) and use it to dig a shallow hole
20 rocks
Then the "*" menu (or Enter -> Craft -> Construct Terrain) -> Build Fire Ring

Works in CBN and CDDA the same
