Unfortunately there seems to be no current development in that direction in either DDA or BN. Maybe eventually.

The overland development...is doomed.

Seriously, nobody even wanted to fix the Desert landscape, which I thought was AWESOME, yet now only works marginally.

The reason appears to be that overlap stuff is HARD.

Noticed on reddit someone linked to the CBN work-in-progress design documents :
https://github.com/cataclysmbnteam/Cataclysm-BN/wiki/Design-document
Should help people to understand the difference in design between CDDA and CBN

That's sad to hear, it's always been a sore spot for me with Cata. Fingers crossed we see some actual movement in that direction. This PR seems like it could be a starting point for work on making a more realistic overmap, but who knows.

Speaking of highways I don't really remember them being more that just one random segment that random;y showed up from time to time, I wonder if they'll ever actually make proper highways.

If I had a nickel for each time I saw someone trying to implement NFTs into CDDA, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Can we just talk about crypto bros being stupid? In what way would it even improve the damn game?

Looks like you're surrounded! Buy more ammo from CataMart? Just 0.1$ per bullet, payments only in Ethereum!

Highway layout works much better in C:Whales (and thus my fork C:Z); it's something I plan to conserve when an overmap re-tuning actually gets scheduled.  (Which is tenably ETA years; I've been grinding over 2 years calendar time at infrastructure for long-range pathfinding.)

I demand links

This is the kinda thing I just have to see bc my google searches aren't doing anything to find it.

Yeah, I was thinking about Whales Cata when talking about highways. It's good that an overmap overhaul is at least somewhat planned.

This is horrifying, and I'm sure all of us want you to dish on this.

Spoiler: First time, someone sent these emails to Kevin (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Second time, some loonie on Discord made a suggestion and was banned because shilling NFTs is not allowed there (they kept pushing) (click to show/hide)

For people interested in that NFT craziness, i had a good laugh with this article :

What's amazing is how the first guy made himself sound knowledgeable without actually knowing shit. NFTs by design require an internet connection which cataclysm has no functionality for. The second is that Kevin does not have the authority to make a thing like that happen even if he wanted to. The best he could do is code the NFT API himself and accept his own pull request, but people would just fork the repository in response and jump ship. No one in the world would contribute to a game for free while Kevin made money off of them. He would have to become a solo-dev or form his own company with paid employees which the email seems to assume he's already doing.

Doesn't crack down hard enough in my opinion. I also noticed a few inaccuracies.

For example, the feature described below is actually surprisingly easy to to circumvent:

Also, NFTs have a feature that you can enable that will pay you a percentage every time the NFT is sold or changes hands, making sure that if your work gets super popular and balloons in value, you’ll see some of that benefit.

I consider this to be a better explanation, but it's a 2-hour long video essay rather than an article.

[Egan_BW]

Really shows how little nftbros understand their own scam when they propose just "adding nft" without any explanation of how that works or what it adds.

[Robsoie]

They're probably thinking "micro transaction" when they make those silly nft requests.
