[The Darkling Wolf]

I usually smash up the benches in the Evac Shelter so I can board up the doors and windows.

[Johuotar]

I decided to finally try this yesterday and I'm not disappointed, and it was really easy to get started with just the wiki page that tells the controls. And tutorial!

The guy who made this deserves a medal.

[Knight of Fools]

Yeah, this is probably one of the most active, newb friendly ASCII games out there, right now.

Yeah, this is probably one of the most active, newb friendly ASCII games out there, right now.

Controls are pretty easy but damn, the game is so difficult. My record so far is 6 days, and I've been playing for a good year.

[Leatra]

I stopped playing since savescumming was made impossible. I can't bring myself to start playing again after I die.

[Knight of Fools]

Was it made impossible? I haven't played the most recent version, but I didn't realize Whales did that.

[pisskop]

Impossible?  No moreso than DF...

Although I noticed when I reloaded my file my stash was gone.  Made me mad. Than sad.

[The Darkling Wolf]

It's a bug, presumably, the game sometimes just randomly regens maptiles when you save and quit.

[Leatra]

If you delete the save file and replace it with your savescum file, map will be regenned. I heard the same thing happens if you quit without saving.

So it's pretty much impossible.

Oh, and Whales did that by accident because of the new save format but he still sees it as a benefit.

[The Darkling Wolf]

The same thing happens randomly if you save and quit. It's nearly been enough to make me give up on my mod until it's fixed, but people are enjoying it, so I can't just drop it

[Knight of Fools]

Eh. It's enough to dissuade me from playing it for now. I don't like artificial measures to prevent save scumming, no matter how accidental.

Of course, one could simply copy the entire game folder.

[The Darkling Wolf]

Which still isn't a guarantee that your world won't be regenned when you log in.

[pisskop]

Gahh  Time to grab everything and wad around with it

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

But yup a turn off when it happens without the savscuming.

[jester]

Of course, one could simply copy the entire game folder.

 

Thats all I do, mine is only 25 mg or something at the moment, copy and paste isnt exactly strenuous when im doing it with a game that im using 3/4 of the keyboard to play anyway.

[Leatra]

It seems like too much work but I guess I might try that. It's not easy to find awesome games like these.
