That depends on how much effort they'll put into making NPCs and mission stuff less broken, which historically has been "not a lot of effort" from all I've seen.
I mean I had little problems with the Exodii so far. Wandering NPCs do have problems and nobody denies that.

Hm, is that something in-game, or slang for the devs of BN?

Alien alternate-universe cyborg humans who invented bionics (and evidently now survivor suits) because regular playable humans are too smooth-brained to have invented those things evidently.

Humans didn't even quite invent them originally in the old lore, they were based on mi-go technology.

Does that mean those Exodii guys will start yelling at us about the heart of the cards?

We all know those ancient civilizations were far more advanced than us moderners.

Meanwhile in BN...
1. Easy tweak to vehicle-mounted heaters, making them occupy a less vital spot. Because 7.5 liters of space heater taking up a full tile like a minifridge or welding rig is a bit odd, especially since it doesn't actually block moving into the tile.
2. That led to the obvious idea of allowing you to install grid-furniture heaters, to warm a room up with your base's power. Oughta tinker with maybe air conditioning too as a followup.
3. Making autoclaves use a sane amount of power for once. Downside is uses storage batteries instead of heavy batteries, upside is all valid batteries can actually hold enough power to function, unlike current status quo. Still entails a decrease in power draw too.
4. And three quickfixes. Work to let Mycus characters use bandages from the eat menu in addition to the activate menu, fixing an old recipe for shaving leather patches that got overridden, and fix cocaine accidentally being set to need smoking tools like crack.

At least one version of Cataclysm is fixing stuff rather than making more bugs.

Thinking of making a TTRPG system based on Cataclysm. I'll make it detailed but of course simplified compared to either game (food is more abstracted for example). It's going to be flexible enough to allow either setting, but I know the newer DDA one better. But for now I am thinking about the mechanics first. I want it to capture the "feel" without being a bookkeeping nightmare.

You should automate certain things if tools are available. For example, if cooking tools and water are available, then the player shouldn't have to worry about water.
