I think furniture would be easy to create. I think that A lot of life could be added to vanilla houses just by adding things like counters in the kitchens and couches in the livingrooms. Also, bigger houses. Like 3 or 4 bedrooms instead of 1 sometimes.

Guys guys, what we really could use is making sewers and subway tunnels interesting !

This. They're really boring as they are.

I don't wanna be tentacle raped... The Triffids do that enough as it is >.<
I haven't been in the sewers, are there hordes of things down there? Maybe running through the sewers could fog up your scent trail a little?

While its true the underground could use some sprucing up, I think it should have a lower priority in vanilla than new above ground building types and sprucing up. New  sewer enemies would be nice though.

I was thinking about adding couches and tables to houses, so yeah, I will work on it later. Right now I am struggling to release the new version because I've decided to add a new lot type.

Playgrounds everywhere are no fun. Now they are playgrounds AND basketball courts.

[jc6036]

Id like to see malls implemented in vanilla as well.

Playgrounds everywhere are no fun. Now they are playgrounds AND basketball courts.

Are the courts surrounded by fencing?

[Deon]

Now that I think about it, they should be... But right now, no. Just a court with benches on the sides. I will tweak it later.

[EDIT]: This is how they look (those red T are backboards, and #'s are benches).

[Ordokai]

So yeah, the underground. Nothing fancy needed for now, just a bunch of spawns like mutated crocodiles and other fun stuff and at least one loot-related reason to come down there like survivor stashes, hideouts whatever and its good. This should not pose much technical difficulty but would immediately fill a gaping hole.

[Deon]

I thought about maintenance storage rooms with tools of sorts, as well as hobo hideouts with junk and rare canned food.

[Lolzwheejars]

Looks good. The playgrounds and courts will give the parkour trait more use now.

Sewer stations? Have things like pipes, wrenches, etc. Could belong to a survivor that died, so it could be trapped too.

Wow! Deon, take it easy man people will start thinking "There is a new game named DLM and and an awesome mod called Cataclysm to play with it" if you keep working hard like this 

Just joking around. Awesome mod! Keep it coming. 

Whales, you currently use "rotate(rng(0, 4))" for rotation, shouldn't it be "rotate(rng(0, 3))"? Because 4 turns = 0 turns, so it makes the first orientation more frequent (it is listed twice in the RNG choices).

Deon, I am continuously blown away by your modding prowesss.  Hopefully tonight I will have the time to go through and merge a lot of this stuff in.  Are you planning on writing an armor-mod system?  I can try to squeeze that in too, so we're not duplicating work.

You guys should work together

[Deon]

Heh, nooo, nothing can defeat the awesomeness of Whales and his game (and clean and easy-to-mod code!)!!!

I cannot stop. Seriously.

Remember Rogue Survivor and how I was crying about inability to mod most of the stuff? And wished that it would go open source?

Whales' project is what I wanted of a game! Since I cannot learn enough coding and game design due to my little son and wife to write my own game, I have to make mods. And I love to make mods more than to play games . The Cataclysm is a dream come true for me.



That talk aside, I've made fences around basketball courts.



The Parkour Expert trait is more useful now in the city environment.

[jc6036]

Hmmm. . . How about dirt roads and rural houses?

[Aqizzar]

Is it possible to do any modding if all you have is the Windows build?  Or do I have to get the Linux source and open it with an emulator?
