>Are mystery dungeon games allowed in this thread?
Generally yes, most mystery dungeon games(Shiren the Wanderer, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Etrian Mystery Dungeon, etc.) can be considered roguelikes too
>Is Elin/Elona allowed?
Yes, they are roguelikes. Please do not post your Little Sister farms
>Is Dwarf Fortress allowed?
If it's adventure mode, yes, that could be considered a roguelike, the same can't be said about its other modes though

That's all she wrote.
Changing the javelin for the jade pilum wasn't really worth it. A few more extra attacks aren't nearly as important as extra range and I got into a really bad spot against the yellow queen because I spawned into an open area with no cover and there was she plus a bunch of yellow demons, all which outranged me.
I'm starting to think that the king is genuinely easier than the astral dungeons, with the exception of the blood themed one which is piss easy.

How much do you think people "cheat" with savescumming in ToME? Mainly by force closing the game with task manager when in danger. Someone I know revealed they savescum like that, then I looked through the discord (yeah I'm gay + suck cocks) and saw constant arguing about savescumming with there being like drama over players "revealed" to be savescummers etc.It got me thinking because ToME4 really is such a long game that I think most people will be severely tempted to trivially back up their save / savescum after 30+ hours. It seems like a case where 90% of people will end up cheating and then just avoiding talking about it. What do you think?

>what holsters do the RM103, Vz Skorpion, and Colt fit into?
Shoulder holster at 2 encumb or Chestrig at 1-4.
The Colt optionally can get stuffed in a fast draw, but honestly at infinity more noise (~30) for basically 4 armor piercing and about 4 damage over a bodkin arrow? It fires a bit faster, I guess, 100-160 vs 130-190. But if I'm at the point I can't plink critters I feel like I'm better off pulling out something with more stopping power anyways, instead of trying to live out the sidearm-last-stand dream.

just throwin this out there. the .22 pistols and 10/22 rifle are actually more useful then youd expect. with a can, you can replace a spear. its 0 noise, and shoots through chainlink fences and over sandbags, so you can use them just like a spear. keep a distance of a few squares and just keep backing up. tedious, but itll let you train your pistols/rifles at the same time. even MORE tedious, but if you find a 22 that accepts a can and doesnt require a magazine, its a spear that fits in your pocket, weighs a quarter and requires no magazines to keep track of.

Ok so the coilgun is nice. Really pumps out rounds fast, as long as you don't have to re-aim, decent penetration.
Absofuckinglutely blows through battery power though and it's so asssss recharging heavy batteries for the UPS.
God but the initial aim time is absolutely awful, stability is fuckin weird, I dunno. Still, it's grinding my rifle skill up just fine.Cleared out a 2x3 home improvement store, a ton of garbage in there. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do about a vehicle. Finding wheels is so ass. Dunno how to repair em, but I guess I should figure it out. Pressing (R)epair just tells me I need an entire wheel. Maybe if I lug over my arc welder and some rubber (that's what Hitchiker's Guide to BN says it needs) it'll change? Got my lab journal and advanced electronics out of the science lab. I think I might actually go visit to lab north of that, it's just through empty fields, I want the other lab journal too.

How do you deal with ferals early game? I'm finding it impossible to avoid them, their perception and ability to open doors makes it very hard.And their special attack does a heap of blunt damage which early game armour does nothing to prevent. And you can't block or parry, or dodge a thrown stone. So after running into a few ferals half your torso HP is gone

Felt like a break from Cata, so I figured... If the problem with Forgewright is that you want to train both FW school AND like four or five other schools? Just... Don't? Don't think, no thoughts, head empty, max out at 15 in all your skills and kill yourself?I would've worshipped anyone but Sif but I love pressing faded altars (and Gozag or Kiku would've been dope). I'll get plenty of mana at least, right- I'm thinking I might put on this guardian spirit amulet by Lair, it's got rPois.I think this probably isn't worth switching to. The chance to get AOE'd is there, but it's not a huge risk for a while yet. Absolutely carried by an Eveningstar I found on D:2 or 3, that's the real man's use case for Grapnel obviously.

I like how unbalanced cdda is, it's a very rare attribute in games now. The unfairness and frustration. Cheese vs. Environment. CvE. The world is unfair, how can you cheese it.That said, ferals break the monster gen progression because they're too strong on d1. Ferals should be the evolution of terrified humans. So on D1 it should be havoc and terrified people, but gradually they should be replaced by ferals, and this would make urban areas far, far more dangerous late game but actually more viable as starting locations.

Merchants should all have a needs hierarchy and have a corresponding budget. Far smarter then trying to jig with the value of millions of items.
Merchants won't buy high value, high needs items like gold unless they have food, water, a weapon in their inventory. Mostly to stop players dumping 35 fire extinguishers on traders 20 minutes into the game.Factions should have a goods/ capitol disparity, so quartermaster should have 90% of the refugee camps money, because what that faction really needs is food, and smokes should have 90% of the goods. So general merchants would tend to be sellers, not somewhere to dump 35 large fire extinguishers.Tools should have a binary value within that needs structure. As level 4. So a merchant might need one hammer, but wouldn't buy 35 hammers because they already "had" hammering 3. Notably, this would make merchants generally unwilling to sell tools and weapons.More locations should be soft locked with environmental factors. Flooding, electrical hazards, gas hazards, hostile temperature, radiation,robo security. Not million degrees Indiana Jones traps, but more persistent. To discourage RNJesus day one looting. The monsters are getting too strong and the actual survival elements have become trivial.

PoCK and I just found a Manual of stealth in Xom's bazaar(since when did this exist, I've never even heard of it before). Should I pick it up to get +9 stealth aptitude? Does really high stealth serve any purpose? I've got about 8 right now.

I made this next mod based on a list actually put together by Kevin a few years ago.
https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/item-blacklist-mod-come-vote-for-the-items-you-want-in-it/6393
His opinions on controversial items have changed over the years, but at the time he was actually the only person who wanted this, and everyone else on the team voted against it.
It takes the mod he created here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20151019102610/https://github.com/kevingranade/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/controversial-items/data/mods/community_item_blacklist/modinfo.json
And removes these entries from the list (because they don't exist in the game files anymore):
ring
necklace
locket
brooch
bio_blaster
granade
granade_act
diamond_knife
diamond_machete
diamond_katana
cs_latajang_off
cs_latajang_onTesting: 0. I don't care if this one works.

Any Cata bros can you please help explain if I'm doing something wrong?
A lot of the time I go to salvage/disassemble stuff and the game says "Too heavy to pick up"But... There's hardly anything I can't pick up? And if I do- Sure, I have to wield it, I might be immediately knocked prone if I try to move -but if I do just (W)ield it, suddenly I CAN disassemble or salvage it?Is there some setting or something I'm missing? Or do I just have to individually wield each part I want to disassemble?

So you grab see a Cardboard Box. It has stuff hidden in it so you have to actually pick it up to see what it has. It has Alcohol Wipes. Great.Can you (A)pply these directly from the box?No you get a message telling you to remove them from the box so you can use them. Does this prompt include an option to (U)nload them? Of course not.But wait! You actually CAN (A)pply them if you open your inventory and inspect the actual box, without emptying it, meaning there is actually nothing that should prevent you from doing this normally. I am confused as shit about what the purpose of this entire new inventory system is supposed to be and I dislike it. I remember people saying it was silly that if you wear enough pairs of cargo pants you can carry a car engine around but it took obvious abuse for the old inventory system to start looking silly. This is just time wasting bullshit.I hate it too because in general the newer features seem cool but who the fuck thought tedious item management was what we needed?

Revenant? Ghoul with an extra innate ability. Poltergeist? Vampire with funny inventory slots and an extra innate ability. Talismans? A permanent inventory slot that you unlock with experience to make torment less bullshit.Nu DCSS has fucked up hotkeys too ever since they increased the inventory limit.

Wondering about home made ammo, whether custom ammo should use blanks as an intermediate material.Because that way, any survivor with pliers could turn a bullet into a blank, and survivors who lacked the skills of tools to press ammo could still use a gun as a launcher to fire things like flares, bait, decoys, or for breaching.

Faulted a PoCK as a change of pace from MDFw and of course I got literally every single Fw spell up to platinum paragon dumped on me, along with a pile of artefact armor and battleaxes...
I died in the rune vault in spider, entirely because I found a manual of spellcasting and a bunch of spells and thought I was a wizard or some shit and shifted al my skill training to spells. Died only having two level one spells castable while being unable to hit an enemy five times in a row due to my insufficient weapon skill...
I've got to say that this confirms things for me that MDFw is GARBAGE! I, as a fucking ghost with no armor and just a chaos branded shortblade, was tabbing my way through Spider completely untouchable meanwhile my other character was experiencing some sort of nightmare 'nam flashback clearing passages one enemy at a time using five level 7 spells each and barely making it two floors down before getting ganked.
A combination of golem, alembic, animated armor, lightning spire, armor bug, and fortress blast wasn't as good as a +7 fucking shortsword six hats and a tower shield!

My biggest problem with cata's menus is that discoverability is horrendous. I'm looking at the crafting menu and I have a hundred million entries I can't possibly read through, there's stuff at the top that requires a nuclear reactor to build and then buried 3/4 of the way down is stuff I could build if I had a hammer or two pieces of string. It's impossible to figure out what I can or want to build without having a huge pile of garbage, which also creates a huge pile of garbage crafts I don't ever way to make. And then it says I can't possible make something because I don't have enough string, but I can make string out of threads and vise versa so I have to dissassemble and reassemble cloth to get the right ratio of ingredients to craft things, it's a mess.
The descriptions for items are also ridiculously wordy and gigantic and yet somehow tell you everything except what you want to know.
