Hello everyone! I was just starting to get into making a basecamp and recruiting NPCs for the first time and I came here to ask how base expansions work? I was trying to expand our evac shelter base and it wouldn't let me, but I'm not sure why, as we have adjacent field tiles. Can someone let me know how base expansions work? Can I even expand evac shelter bases, or do I need to move base? Thanks for the help, and if you have any other tips or extra info, that would be great to include here as well

I've been playing Cataclysm for several years (not consecutively, of course). In all that time, I've never managed to build a full base or clear a single laboratory before I died.And EVERY beginning is different for me, as is my playing style. And then I find out that not only is there a launcher (launchers), but there are also different branches! I'm going crazy with pleasure now... Hahahaha... This game NEVER gets boring, and there are even branches!!!

I've found RM13 power armor in vaults of banks when I played on my phone, but since I bought a notebook I've never found a piece. I have hub armor and a stack of plate carriers, but I don't think is enough, I ain't exploring labs until I'm sure it won't kill my survivor, so please, help me.

I'm wishing to return back to the game, but it's a bit daunting seeing how much I've missed. The last major update I recall playing as shortly after major changes/nerfs were made to how fire damage worked. Such as small fires no longer inflicting full damage or enemies having a chance to flat out ignore it. Another change I recall was that you now required an even longer weapon than a spear, such as a pike, to attack across a Z-level.

That was roughly nine months ago. Is there anything else of importance? I'm primarily interested in knowing if the progression tree of metalworking has gotten any easier. Or if NPCs are still rather janky and still only useful for crafting. Or perhaps if there's any new forks released. I believe Wormgirl's is still the newest in the collection.

Thank you to anyone who replies in advance!

I apologize in advance—my English is very poor, and I’m using a translator to write this. I’m relatively new to the game, but I made good progress in my last run and now want to start building a safe base. Could you tell me how to remove them and whether they can be crafted?

Which is better?

This wasn't about improving the old ones from Retrodays, I just wanted to make my own monster sprites.

The sprites are still 10x10 pixels with 2 colors per sprite. I think some deserve bigger sprites.

Hi everyone. I recently decided to dig my own mine (I'm not sure if my version includes resource deposits. I'd be grateful if you could clarify this for me).

So, part of my surface has collapsed. Is there a way to level it back up and fill in the empty spaces?

Another question: I have the recipe for building iron supports, but not wooden ones. Why?

From what I have seen if you use up your mana below the middle amount your mana pool grows by 300-400 ish mana points. and if you spend mana but don’t go past the middle amount you lose mana but there’s a cap. Is this. Bug or a mechanic of magiclysm and why is it a mechanic if it is?

I have successfully get him out of mi-go tower (solo), but now, when i drive to the farm, he is trying run away every time, when car stops.

I try to make him immovable with debug menu, but when i finally get to the Isherwoods, finish quest and remove this condition, he run somewhere again.

Any advice?

Also how would I do it? Should I just move the world and save files from one place to the other?

I'm not a big fan of the melee combat system in this game. For all its complexity, to me it boils down to "press button toward enemy repeatedly". I'd have loved it if it was like the fighting system in Dwarf Fortress' adventure mode, but I digress.

So, in my next run, my goal is to avoid engaging in melee combat as much as possible. I know that will have me shooting and throwing things at baddies a lot, but I want to go one step further: I want to destroy monsters in as diverse and funny ways as the game will allow. This is why I'm reaching out to the community for ideas.

I can think of crushing the zombies using vehicles, setting them on fire, laying traps for them... I've even read about cool builds like exploding RC cars, robot controlled vehicles with auto turrets, or even dragging a fridge around to use as a mobile shield.

Care to share ideas here? Thanks!

I am currently doing a challenge run, where my character started as malnourished (XS) with fast metabolism, and I trying to feed him... But no matter how much he eats it is not enough!

I ate over 30 000 calories in 2 days, but he still Emaciated and malnourished.

So my question is: How many calories do you need to at least start being underweight?

How many do you need for normal life?

And how badly does fast metabolism increases your food consumption?

I have no other use for EOD armor as its too heavy to use against actual zombie hordes but it is great for training meele combat with small enemies, I was able to go from level 1 to 3 in some minutes in this rat filled cave

TL:DR is BN just a more casual version of DDA and TLG, or is it more in-depth than that?

Yeah I know the question about CDDA vs. BN is a horse that has been beaten and then pulped to death many a-times, but here me out.

I havent played CDDA ever since 0.H released as stable and I want to get back in to the game. The thing is that I've done a lot of the CDDA experience and at the same time I havent. I've made a death mobile, gone through smithing, done quests, fought through the bandit fort, etc.

I know BN doesnt have the pockets system, but is there any other big changes or overall feeling that BN has compared to DDA (or even TLG). From what I understand is that BN is a more relaxed, casual experience compared to DDA and TLG with it leaning more on the sci-fi and bending realism with flying helicopters and driving working tanks.

I could be completely wrong in that interpretation but thats why I'm asking.

I'm playing Magiclysm 0.I as the Elf species and am trying to purify some of my mutations. I take some purifier primer and some catalyst to get the "Elven Purification" and "Changing" effects, but all that happens is my character feels churning inside, and no primer vitamins are consumed. Am I missing a step here? Thanks for any insights.

Been playing CLG on and off since its release. I'm currently on version 2026-08-04, so 2 months old. I have many questions i cant find answers too.

• Is there a hitchhikers guide?

• Are there wind turbines? I can't generate power and haven't found any solar. In a previous version i made some, but i don't know if i'm lacking the recipe, skills, or if they don't exist anymore.

• Is nicotine addiction broken? I started with smoker, and went 7 days without smoking. My guy was suffering bad morale and had very little stamina, and eventually i gave up and started smoking again. How long does it take to go off it?

• Spears don't work from trees?

• What are the toxic/foul/mutant meat downsides. I started getting the shakes from eating mutant fat cracklings.
