I've been noticing that whenever I start one of my saves the people in evac shelters disappear.

You know... technically, there's no real reason this COULDN'T be put up on a website. I mean, the communications code would definitely look a bit wonky, but... it's doable.

After all, they have web based ssh clients, like http://serfish.com/console/

You'd just need to set up something similar that autostarts the game, right?

Not simple, perhaps, but definitely possible.

NPCs don't get saved, I think.

Actually, very simple--set the user's shell to Cataclysm, and their home dir to wherever the data and save dirs are.  I'll look into this.

And yeah, NPCs aren't saved yet, they're still a test feature.  Saving coming soon!

So, what wonderful things are you cooking up for the next update, Whales?

[Whales]

Defense mode, a coffeebreak game mode for Cataclysm in which you defend a central building against waves of monsters.  It features fully adjustable settings, caravans from which you can purchase supplies, mercenaries for hire, and some new locations/items which will be included in the main game.

[bombzero]

well damn man, every cataclysm update just makes it THAT much more awesome.

game is really developing well, just a year ago it was already complex, but it pales in comparison to the newer stuff.
(also has awesome modding community, just like DF  )

[NobodyPro]

Whales you son of a bitch!
I don't have enough free time to risk playing something that awesome!

[Fniff]

Annnnd that's how I got properly into Cataclysm.

Ugh, why?  Why is there a mission to get someone's dog?  Dogs are my soft spot, if someone asks me to rescue their dog I can't refuse and if it dies I'll be depressed for hours.  I wish there was an option to remove dog missions, or dogs entirely.

I'll brew you up a version without dogs, compiling it right now actually.

Welcome in the club man! We need a config file to toggle it off or something. Or maybe just change it to cats. My grandparents have alot of cats that get kitties every year so i am quite used to dead kitties and saying farewell to the old cats.

Download for Cata which dogs, hopefully, won't spawn in.

[GlyphGryph]

Cthulhu, could be worse - you used to start with a dog every time, and that dog would, eventually, become very killed.

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, but I could lock it somewhere safe and pretend it didn't exist.
