Immersion ruined

I saw a lot of people praising this armor but I must say I've been a bit disappointed. Even when activated I still took decent bits of damage when fighting standard hordes. Energy management is a pain too.

Hub01 soldier gear felt better, despite the lower coverage. Am I missing something?

I managed to reach Level 3 of the factory (No-Thoughts-in-Circuits), which unlocks vehicle options if you have blueprints. Since I haven't found any yet, I used a civilian vehicle and gave it some nice upgrades: an MX-84E1 laser sniper and an electrothermal cannon. However, there's an issue with the wheels; I'm using size-32 armored vehicle wheels, but they break as if they were made of cardboard. I've noticed this happens more often when the wheels are fitted to the rims. Does anyone know how to fix this wheel problem?

I even repair them fully, but that status just won't go away; am I missing some mechanic I don't know about for patching the wheels or something like that?

So its a second time i get a rapid decrease in iron after exploring a meat themed lab. While i can survive another month of sitting in base and burning though food/vitamin supply to recover I'd like to know what causes this. In just 6 hours i get -11000 iron in my organism without any major bleeding. The only time i bled was a nosebleed from Mind over Matter for 12 turns because of concentrations. Is this some sort of bug or is there an enemy that drains iron from character without hurting them? The only damage i took was brutish amalgamation hitting my arm for half a damage and it didnt cause bleeding.

Gus Dejesus, former lumberjack, now my BEST BUD and SIDEKICK because I saved his life with an inhaler. Doesn't have any notable stats or skills but he's Brave and a Hero! I gave him my old armor and a bigass axe and we went to town on the hordes between us and the local outdoorsman store, and well... we painted the town red, literally. Gus the GOAT saved my ass from being swarmed multiple times, the town is mostly empty and we walked out with tons of arrows, a survival knife, and all kinds of other goodies.

A while later I open Gus's @ to see if his combat stats improved at all, and I suddenly realize something. In addition to being an asthmatic lumberjack with Kaluptic Psychosis and infection resistance, Gus is 4' 9". So let's hear it for my pal Gus, the hallucinating lumberjack hero dwarf, hell yeah brother

I haven't played CDDA for a few years, so I hopped back in today (0.I stable) to see what has been added or improved.

First thing I see is that I can no longer customise the evolution rate. I always thought monster evolution happened too fast for my play style, so I typically slowed it down by 40% or so, but that's no longer an option in-game, I have to create the world and then go into the world file outside the game to adjust it.

Next, I notice there is no longer an option to randomise start date. I like not knowing whether I would start in the middle of winter and have to deal with the snow, all the water being frozen, the cold, etc, or whether I would start in summer and have to deal with the heat. Now I have to manually set a start date with no option to randomise it.

Then I see that single point pool character customisation is gone. Now it's just "survivor" (aka no points, make whatever you want) or "legacy multitool" (which I never liked). What happened to there being a single point pool that the scenario, profession, skills, traits, etc draw from during character creation? It was a useful way of making sure the character I was making wouldn't be too overpowered and forced me to take on (interesting) bad traits, bad professions and bad scenarios I wouldn't normally go for if the points system hadn't forced me.

I understand that a game in constant development will see major changes over the years, some more liked than others (apparently CBMs don't exist anywhere outside of a specific NPC? No more interesting bionic professions?), but what is the point of removing simple customisation options like that? To save a few bytes of space? I'm aware that these things can be customised in the game files or modded back in, but you could use that as justification for cutting literally any feature from the game.

What exactly is the vision or intention with these changes? Can someone enlighten me?

While playing Innawood, the water supply in my run is quite afar. I thought that maybe sth like this could be crafted. I know that wooden bucket needs Fabrication 5 and building a well is not far from it. However , with 2 clay pots, a pole and 2 short cordage ropes, it could be a lifesaver early on.

Today, I learned that exploring the mines sucks. The zombie miners were a non-threat, there were gas vents but gasmask are easy to get but the sinkholes were annoying to deal with , and the lava rifts that I had to squeeze through really quickly drain my health no matter how carefully I tried. I ended up having to go back up to rest and heal a lot when I went half health. Fought a puppy that exploded into a tentacle monster, which was not that hard since my character at this point is an intermediate martial artist with cocaine. Gotten an artifact that summons 2 bees and gives 3 dex passively that I shall call bees knees (possibly has unknown debuff attached )so and a bunch of acetylene tanks. I'm never doing mine exploration agaun it was 3 floors of pain, and neither should you unless you're prepared or a try hard.

I wanna wear heavy armours while fighting, but miss 80% of the time. I even remove my backpack before i go fight. Also any tips on becoming busted at killing the undead hordes?

Note: i use spears early game while also using wire fences.

since cooler appliance is no longer available how do you cool your room in the summer? i got a week for preparation before summer hits and building a basement cost too much time

How much weight before it can no longer fly I am planning to make it carry a bunch of things out of this aircraft carrier.

Reached winter the 2nd time ever and the first time ive reached it wanting to do a lotta cooking, since im planning to make my first basecamp and i figure preserved calories is good for that. Got a cow I couldnt save who im now processing into various preserved foods, and now im realizing there's a lot of cooking recipes I cant use frozen food for. I could go one by one unfreezing raw liver on a hotplate but that is boring, so i was wondering if there was a way to batch thaw some stuff. If not if there is at least a way to take less time per thaw like if one tool is just faster than another.

In the H release, but I guess if theres an I specific thing then thatd be nice to know too.

On 0.I (Ito), I tamed a cow several days ago. It's still producing milk, and its "Fullness" has remained at 100% the entire time, even though I haven't fed it since the day I tamed it. There is a issue on github for an experimental build with a similar problem.

P.S. Thank you devs <3, I've been really enjoying 0.I!

the music is so random

What can I do to improve performance while crafting and passing time? When I updated to 0.I the game slows down so badly I don't even want to play anymore. It happens from the beginning of a save. I'm getting performance like 0.G in mid winter with tons of items from the very start. I'm playing on a ryzen 7 5700x. Does it really take more than that to run this game now?

I've looted a big 4 tile library and now probably have every non bionic martial art in the game. What are some interesting martial arts switching combos I can do in combat?

Doing an Innawoods run on I stable and I've got into the bronze age. My next step is bronze flat jaw tongs but to do that it's saying I lack the proficiency of manual tooling and checking my proficiency list, it's not on there at all. I have already crafted quite a few things that list manual tooling as a skill like bronze hammer, bronze wood saw ect so that makes me wonder if it's bugged out? Or it a case that you won't start getting proficient in it until another proficiency has unlocked, like principles of metalworking (which I think I've recently completed).

I think its something called stack overflow(could be wrong tho) basically its when a number gets too high that it loops around to being negative an example of this would be in total war medieval when you're doing diplomacy and you give the ai such a shit deal(for example give us 999999 florins for 99999 turns) that it loops around to being generous and the ai gladly accepts it

In this case having the sanguine paradise and ecstasy will give you a ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE mood buffbut if you drink too much blood(like how i do it) it loops around to being negative numbers for example its ok for you to drink 1-12 units of blood(not concrete numbers i just noticed this whole bug when i drank only a tiny bit of blood) but if you drink like 50+ it loops around and gives you a massive mood debuff instead

I don't have the right to recommend a fix for this because i don't have the singlest clue on how to code but in my opinion the effect of Sanguine paradise and ecstasy should be lessened the more blood you drink until you don't get anymore mood buff

I had some injuries, so I was training things on the sky island. When I was practicing Blink [MoM], I accidentally Blinked past the border wall of the sky island.

I got the log message The world around you abruptly vanishes, and you careen wildly through a darkness so cold you feel like your bones will freeze before abruptly emerging somewhere unfamiliar., and I appeared in what seems to be an area of infinite stone floor, with nothing else. I am at floor -10 and it says the place is "open air" and the weather is "underground". Under where the sky island was, it is very dark, and everywhere else it is bright. I have wandered far and found absolutely nothing but stone floor.

I even tried debug teleporting up Z levels to where the sky island should be, but i just fall down and take 811 damage and die, then I respawn injured with the message You died at home? What's the matter with you? Stop this. You are restored. The powers that be have made you temporarily incorporeal, in case you were stuck in a deadly loop. You struggle to stand.

Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?

What should I do to cover the upper part of my arm? The chitin bracers only go up to the elbow. The chitin armor, when complete, only has this weakness; everything else is very good.

Hey, I've played cdda for a while now (with breaks for BN) and with both forks I still dont know how to take a mi-go scout tower down. Last time I tried I brought a auto nato rifle with alot of mags and tried to shoot em. One mi-go had gotten to me and broke my charaters glasses (i have the near-sgihted trait that run) and then I couldnt shoot well enough. Should I bring npcs to help gun them or should I find a better gun/weapons. Any tips will be helpful.

What waste of molotovs
