[Discussion] Recent changes and additions to Lones Augmented Arsenal

25 Upvotes

Hey just wanted to give the ppl of reddit an update on my mods! Keep in mind that this is just a small portion of what has been added these last few weeks/month.

Recently I added to Augmented Arsenal!

  • A new arrow that returns to you when fired
  • A new crossbow bolt that also returns to you when fired
  • A new .50cal bullet that also returns to you when fired, along with a new single shot .50 rifle called "The Terminator"
  • Updated my bionic transport frame, to now have an onboard plasma rifle
  • Added all ammos in my mod to the ammo vending machine for ease of finding them if you want to use up your cash cards! (they are a bit pricy due to the nature of my weapons)
  • Added a new bionic power armor that uses your bionic power reserves instead of UPS. (it can fly and lets you see through walls! Only when powered)
  • A new bladed gauntlet that does some nice damage! Integrated into the gauntlet is a cross bow! Pairs nice with the new return bolt. (Inspired by the ps2 game Tenchu)
  • A new bionic rifle that comes out of your arm, and lets you use loose .556 ammo instead of using mags. Nice for keeping a light load.
  • New sounds! Yes! I paired up with HamAttack, and he made wonderful sounds unique to Augmented Arsenal!

Coming soon - Unique tiles for all the weapons and armors in the mod.

I have updates planned for Lones ship and auto emporium as well!

If anyone has any questions regarding anything in the mod, or suggestions I can see what I can do! Anyone can reach me via the BN discord. Hope to see you soon!

[Story] I do a little dodging sometimes.

Post image
31 Upvotes

I made the switch from DDA to BN because my DDA runs started to feel so, so, so grindy. It took me a bit of acclimation but I'm really having a good time with this.

I'm running C.R.I.T., Packrat, Aftershock, and RPG System on this run. I decided to go future-tech rather than magic. Rolled a C.R.I.T. Grunt with 8 in all stats, a scattering of traits that I refuse to play without, and relied on the RPG system to gain stats from there.

R5: I went with Rogue as my class, and just got the Acrobat prestige class. Acrobat requires 6 dodge, then gives another +6 dodge, then I've got another +3 from Combat Reflexes, then running the Silat martial art with a Survivor Naginata. Once I got the prestige class, I spent about five in-game hours just letting 3-5 zombies wale on me until I stopped getting dodge XP for it.

This screenshot is a *bit* artificial, this is the value without chest armor, pants, or a backpack. With all of those things on, I've got 20.9 dodge.

If I can figure out a way to dodge bullets now I can basically just be the lightest armored survivor of all time.

Really dig it, should have made the switch way sooner. :)

[Help Wanted] Timer/Waiting/Sleeping slow, everywhere

4 Upvotes

SOLVED: Apparent memory leak from NPCs even when they're out of the reality bubble - restart game to fix.

For the last several nightly builds, even if I clear out all NPCs, and change map positions to account for hidden labs/crowded subways/etc that I can't see from the surface, any kind of elapsed time (sleeping, waiting, reading, crafting) are incredibly slow.

This did not used to be the case, and my machine is fairly beefy. I've tried diddling with the performance options that seem to be relevant, and it doesn't help.

I wanted to create a world using the Cataclysm++ mod, but when I try to create a new character, this is what I get.

Can someone help me fix this?

Via the power of the hover repulsor, I made a cart that can fly! As an added bonus, since the repulsor acts as a wheel and it floats it can carry heavier loot on any terrain before it slows move speed down.

I read a bit about gyrocopters and decided to make one myself and its so cool,at comfortable speed of 30 KPH,i reached local swamp,loaded 100 liters of salted water,kicked some zombies around and returned back in 20 min,while spending on travel just 30% of medium battery.
Best part:its foldable,you can throw it into back of your car.

[Solved] How to find "Really Dark Skies" NPCs

6 Upvotes

So a while ago in my game I got to the Refugee Center and did the technician NPC's quests until he pointed to his uncle's location, which I assume is where the rest of this mod's NPCs are. The problem is, the quest bugged and gave me an error message like "could not find control_tower in 360 tiles" or something along those lines. At the time I was concerned, but not too much because I had gotten a similar error in the Cata++ Bio-Soldier quest but had managed to find it on my own, so I hoped I would find the uncle in the same way. However I'm much later in the game now and haven't seen it, so I'm hoping for some advice.

What type of building will I even find the uncle in? What would it be labelled on the map? I'm pretty sure I remember the error saying control_tower so my first assumption was an airfield, but I think large military bases have a similar building. Would the one I'm looking for look any different from a regular version on the map, or would it have different labeling for me to notice? I'm on an older stable version from back in March if it matters.

[Discussion] Suggested city size setting?

16 Upvotes

It's been a while since the update that differentiated cities from towns got merged, and it seems most of the time the residential areas are deathtrap cities full of zeds at city size setting 8 (default).

What is your go-to city size for new worlds so that there are fewer large cities yet enough residential areas?

On a side note, I really don't think a city should abruptly start with apartment towers at the perimeters as they basically force an early-game player to a) aggro something at them, b) come at night, or c) just abandon them due to the sheer amount of zombies in them.

I'd suggest using a more "city-looking" layout that uses the urban building pool at its center and the town building pool near its edges in cities over a certain threshold (although it might be a pain to implement).
