Been playing Xedra Evolved and I love the loading screen art but what are these pink creatures called?

Hey y'all just in the latest experimental build and I can't write on a sign for some reason? i freshly built it and i have like multiple kinds of writing materials, it was going to be the headstone for my starting npc, who died and i used his shotgun to survive my very first day at the evac shelter on my freshest run. I more or less buried him, but now i wanna write on his sign!

Anyways, since I couldn't do that I just relabled a flyer and placed it where the sign was, but I'm still kind of upset that I couldn't write directly on the sign

went to the local library after getting skills up a bit. my troubles lie in the fact that i went to the "used bookstore" and whatever "kemglyh " thing attacked me left me all fucked up. i have two pistols one 9mm and .380 i think. can i kill that bastard with guns or machete, or do i need to go harry potter mode?

I haven't touched any new CDDA version for so long so I don't really follow the updates and latest features. Yesterday I tried the exoplanet mod, started as a salvor, and got dumped in Port Augustmoon.

Everything is fine, except the temperature in that place is reaching 300. I didn't wear any armor, just the clothes I got from the start. I didn't have time to explore since my character is literally cooked alive in that port so I just talked to the portmaster, bought the essentials, and skedaddled.

Anyone experiencing the same thing? Could this be a bug?

I just came back from the game after a huge skip and tried a new scenario, it has been 20 day in-game and the "gift of the moon" trait thing still won't work, I am afraid that if this is a bug or is this a normal thing? (sorry for my bad English)

Hey everyone,

I’m fairly new to CDDA, and one of the first things I noticed was just how many key combinations there are to remember.

So I started a small side project with Claude: a simple tablet remote that lets me control the game on my PC using visual buttons instead of relying on memorizing keyboard shortcuts.

It has helped me a lot with the initial learning curve and made getting into the game feel much smoother.

What do you think? Would something like this be useful for new players or even for experienced players who just prefer having common actions on dedicated buttons?

If anyone is interested, I've made the project public. It doesn't cover every action yet, but I'll keep expanding it over time. Feel free to check it out, suggest improvements, or even add your own buttons and layouts!

So I'm playing the game a while now. I'm using the catapult launcher. When a Portal storm is happening the game crashs . I hope somebody here has a solution other to debug mode switching to clear weather.

Peeked down a lower level of the huge research facility building, found endless shoggoths. I'll propably never be able to venture down there, did I miss anything good?

This game has a lot of pretty great writing and scripted events on its own, but the best, most unsettling stuff to me is the times when the emergent gameplay collides with these bits of writing and lore to create these super immersive moments of horror. Moments such as the one I had just now.

After making a mental note to avoid a horde of 4 mi-go after one of them clocked me for a moment on a trip back home from a nearby horse stable, I went home to unload and took a trip to the farmhouse to look for food and books. Found a fully intact station wagon, but the only way to take it home was to go right by where that group of pink fuckers was.

It turned out fine, but I ended up cutting by them really closely, close enough that one of them opened my car door as I went past. That was creepy on its own, of course, but when I checked the log I saw that the mi-go had said something right as it opened the door.

"I love you too."

Creepy as hell. Wanted to share and see if anyone else had some similar stories.

I used a tool battery but I ran out in like 3 turns so where could I find a super powerful battery??

I think I brought this up a few years back but what do you guys think about the prospect of having a can_opening quality? Something that I would hope wouldn't be too invasive but would add more emergent gameplay elements. You want to eat that can of corn or some kind of tin of rations? You need a can opener, swiss army or similar small blade (which you should have in most cases), can opener (hand or electric), etc. I would think that with lower can opening quality that something like a simple razor plade would have, there should be a tiny chance to cut yourself when opening food. Maybe dexterity should also play a small part in this??? One of the more cool aspects of this game is the whole "every item plays their part" thing and I think this could be a great way to finally add functionality to a common drunk drawer item.

I can 100% see how something like this could be a small annoyance but again, you most times should have some kind of knife on you in a pinch and otherwise, handheld can openers just aren't voluminous at all. Actually in researching this, I found that about 70% of canned (food) goods in America are pull tab leaving the remaining 30% or so you need some kind of tool so being able to split that distinction would make this a lot more interesting as a change. All to just create these smaller occasional stories about some being able to eat at certain times or at least making it take a little longer to in certain instances. If enemies are near for example.

Anyway, what do you guys think about all of this???

My previous character died from an overdose, so I decided to continue the world by switching over to one of my faction members. but after transferring leadership and taking control of them, they still seem to have the "Suspended NPC" status for some reason. Because of this, I can only see about one tile around my character. Has anyone run into this before? Is there any way to remove the suspended NPC or is this world basically broken? Or should I just retire the world

Ok, so I am still a pretty new C:DDA player and had this one charater who had a decent base with some npc helpers and had decent armor from Hub01. I even killed my first mi-go. It was going fine till I went to raid a steel mill, I got bit by a zombie and shook it off thinking it wouldnt come back to bite me in the ass. Well... my character suddenly was getting super tired and then I noticed i had a infection. I made my way to my medicine cabinet and I had no antibiotics. I deiced to sleep it off and my character passed.

I'm about to start a new run so any adcive you can give will be useful for me.

Well, I started playing a few weeks ago, and this is my third run that made it past the first week. I found Krav Maga and thought it could be good to use alongside the bayonets I found on zombie soldiers to avoid crafting. While trying it out while wielding a USMC bayonet, I noticed that my env suit was damaged by a jab (the image). I also noticed that I'm training my unarmed skill (even though I'm always using the bayonet in melee). So, my questions are:

1. Why was my env suit damaged? Am I attacking with my fist instead of my bayonet?
2. What is my damage based on? If I attack unarmed, my damage is lower, so the bayonet's damage is obviously being applied, but does the jab damage my env suit?
3. What skill (unarmed or the weapon skill) is used for damage?
4. How can I avoid damaging my armor while using Krav Maga? Do I have to use gloves or an unarmed weapon (and if I use an unarmed weapon, won't that override my bayonet)?
5. Does this happen with all techniques? I was expecting something like this for a takedown, but it really surprised me with a jab.
6. How is experience distributed? Do some techniques only level up the unarmed skill, or is experience split between unarmed and the weapon skill?

Sorry for asking a lot of questions! I become a little frustrated when the game doesn't explain things and when my equipment suffers. Thanks in advance for the help.

I wanna see the dino suit!!! DAVE SHOW ME THE DINOSAUR

Can I like... buy his coat? Help I am dying of not-dinosaur

Like say you pick at the start things you like and the more of the things you like and have at home improves your mood. So say you pick and say you like anime if you wear or have a lot of anime stuff at the base you get a bonus to mood. This could even go into dislikes like say with mutations maybe your survivor likes the idea of slime mutations but hates the idea of bug mutations.....something like that.

anyway just wanted to ask if there are any mods like that?

I found this video from some tech i browsed, I’m curious what creature this is about and if its even a real monster you can encounter.

I found one "free" NPC in a city and wasted 15 grenades to reach him. Only to find him killed by zombo brute in his house.

The house: 239 tiles away

The city:

Why would you make me care about a fake dog and then put it here ☹️

ETA: I spent all day doing reconnaissance, building a pet carrier, and making noisemakers to lure zombies away. I was able to sneak to town without being seen. Then as soon as I got within 2 tiles of the target house I failed the quest. I assume this means the dog died before I ever saw or heard it. Cool quest
