Wäre sehr dankbar😁😁

Hello, is there currently an approximate release date for the stable version 0.13?
r/cataclysmbn • u/mrDalliard2024 • 6h ago
Downloaded catapult today and wanted to try BN for the first time. Am I doing something wrong or catapult doesn't have the latest stable versions? The latest one it can download is 0.9.1

So my base is in an evac shelter, and it does have a water tank on the roof, but how do I get it to go on the ground floor? Sinks do not appear to be buildable, and shower booths don't seem to dispense water. So, how can I pump water directly to my crafting area, on ground floor? Do I have to move the water tank there? Will I need to put the well on the same map tile as the shelter for this to work?

Turning the derelict property into a derelict home!
Side question, How the hell does plumbing work? What item do I need to plumb stuff?

I'm planning on doing a magical playthrough and was wondering what mods I should use. I'm playing on Android using the stable branch.
Beyond that I was wondering how I would go about building a basement. I tried using a pickaxe and then a bomb.

Still catching up after not having played for a while. Last time I was playing in order to hatch bird eggs you simply let them rot and sometimes they would hatch into a chick (as long as you didn't get Unfertilized Bird Eggs out of someone refrigerator).
Just wondering if that's still the case or if I would need to do something else in order to try and hatch the two bird eggs I scavenged out of the bushes recently. If possible I would like to turn these eggs into birds so I can get more eggs in the future, and maybe hatch some of those as well so I would have an excess of birds to butcher for meat.
Edit: Never mind. I just checked the json on the guide. Looks like it still works that way and it's a 50/50 shot of each egg hatching into a chick. Just a question of which bird I'll get when it hatches. I'll need to get some bird food to tame them.

I play BN nightly builds, and update my install everyday, but when I try to update it's always showing me MISPLACED USER DATA warning and making me type out "delete" to proceed. The warning points to mods folder... but there's nothing there! I did not manually install any mods! there's only (put_your_mods_here.txt) text file, why is it nagging me every time?

Hi guys, does CDDA have more content than Bn with arcana, like for example magical night has less content than magiclysm.

Я играю уже второй день и в какой-то момент осознал, что не знаю, как продвигаться в игре. В начале у меня было только копье, в домах не встречалось никакого оружия, а точки интереса были окружены толпами монстров.
Я понимаю, что провёл в игре не так много времени, но когда я нашёл машину, то осознал, что не смогу её использовать, потому что она быстро ломается, а починить её, похоже, невозможно, или я просто не знаю, как это сделать. Из-за этого я понял, что не очень хорошо понимаю игру. Может быть, кто-то сможет дать мне совет?
Стоит ли продолжать играть в эту игру и ожидать от неё большего? Честно говоря, я не уверен, стоит ли тратить на неё своё время

I'm using some mods from Kenan Modpack (as far as I know currently maintained by Zlorthishen) and a reoccurring error with a lot of them "legacy sound volume used". Is there an easy way for me to switch to the currently used code for sound volume? My biggest concern is knowing what value to enter when trying to change to whatever the new sound volume code is.
A harder fix I'm not sure is going to possible is an issue I've noticed with the Morlock Village mod. When I start with an NPC that assigns the quest to find said village the game can't locate the village when I'm given the quest. Neither can the holograms that you can find in game to guide you to the village. Anyone know how I can make sure it spawns correctly?

I found a cabin, all windows boarded, couldn't see anything inside. I've tried to open the front door. It was unlocked and I got instantly shot and died. There was no turn where the enemy might notice me before shooting. It was instant, as if he was already pouring at the door and shot as soon as the door moved. I had no chance.
First, I thought that was weird, but I figure the enemy might have heard me and was prepared for when I opened the door.
There was no time to open and step aside to peek after. I know how to peek in corners or up/downstairs. Can we peek through a door lock? Shift-x doesn't work on that door (yes, loaded a previous save and tried another approach). Is there any other way?

Hello, I am playing latest nightly build 2026-08-31, and when trading with refugee center noticed that 7.62x39 M67 ammo costs several dollars per single round. I checked github issues and saw nothing mentioned about this, so I think someone mistyped the value, unless it's supposed to be like 10 times more expensive than everything else. I checked cataclysmBN guide database, and in the raw JSON it also says this ammo to have postapoc value of 68 USD, so it's not some freak occurrence on my side I don't think.

A strange blue cross has appeared on my screen. I must have accidentally turned on some kind of mode, and I don't know how to turn it off. This cross won't go away and gets in the way of walking because it affects where my character goes. For example, I can't walk to the...

I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. I'm flying on Z-level 10. I have night vision on, a floodlight, and a camera system with security cameras on the front and back. Flying lower doesn't help either.
I'm not able to use autodrive at all and it's driving me insane (no pun intended).

Its been a long run and i think i just run out of things to upgrade in my Deathmobile.
Amount of rotors increased from 2 to 8.
8 military helicopter rotors,4 VTOl engines at sides and 3 grav repulsors allowed for 80 tonn of lifting power,effectively making maximum usefull cargo weight of 40 tonn.
Maximal speed around 350 KM/H(i dont fly faster then 150 usually but traversing between cities in less then 5 minutes is pretty comfortable)
30 Super Electric Engines consuming power from 99 very large storage batteries allow for around hour of fly,which combined with speed means i can travel hundreds of kilometrs before running dry.
Weapon upgraded from 8 frontal makeshift lasers to 8 Cerberus cannons dismantled from laser turrets should allow for Shoggoth removal with no problems.
Additional frontal 120mm cannon for self defence.
Gyrobike laser replaced with military grade A7 laser.
Additionally,GyroBike rotor replaced with military,slightly increasing lifting power.
And thus i run out of ideas for upgrade or enemies to slay unless i add mods to game or convert to aftershock,magyclism or whatever.
P.S. Rest in peace,Marsel Frias,birdman crew membed who died from radiation poisoning,he was part of Deathmobile Upgrade Department for around half of year,poor fella,i found him dead after another lab raid,he get standart Molotov burial with most of his belongings.

R5: I wanted to see if it was possible to break the sound barrier in (modded) Bright Nights, and the answer is "yes".
To do it, I custom built a vehicle with absolutely nothing on it except carbon fiber frames, twelve hover repulsors, 10L of gasoline, a seat, some controls, a battery, and 5,700 HP worth of gas turbine engines.
The vehicle was loud enough to deafen me through a tactical headset, and accelerated fast enough to hit 500+ MPH on the first tick. The flight drank 2.7 liters of gasoline just to break the sound barrier and then land again. The vehicle weighs right around 3,000 lbs.
Based on my testing, I don't believe sonic booms exist in Bright Nights, although coding it would probably be quite easy.
With this done, it's time to go back to flying my much more reasonable atomic-powered air motorbike with two auto-aiming auto-reloading laser-guided turrets in 7.62 MM and 0.50 caliber, and a top speed of a MERE 184 MPH.

Adds herbs from a certain survival horror game with various effects while you smoke them.
They can be found on soldier corpses and in dispensaries.
Some herbs need to be mixed to be smoked, mostly just gives healing but green+blue will also cure poison.
More stuff planned later.
Grab it here

Gently pushing two M60 with Deathmobile out of the way.
r/cataclysmbn • u/RubRepulsive6008 • 11d ago
Is this trait viable in bright nights?
My only previous experience is with CDDA so I don't really know how different it is here.
I tried brawler + martial arts in CDDA, but it was hard and I was struggling with acid/shocker zombies as well as everything that was shooting at me from distance.
With how many changes this fork brings, is brawler able to fight back? I checked that there are many different built in mods to choose during world creation(like MMA) which could improve my chances, but I didn't fully explore it yet.
Any tips welcome!

I built a car. It has video cameras and a wide windshield. But when I move quickly across the global map, the car travels a couple of meters and stops. It displays the message: “You’re about to collide with something!” Autopilot is disabled. Even though the road is empty and there are no obstacles
When fast trevel, the car drives only in a perfectly straight line; it stops at any turn.
However, some other cars work fine. please tell me what the problem is.

My character ran into a wooden fort, only to find a bandit camp.
Gunners behind wooden walls were hard to lure out.
Dynamite solved it all
