Cataclysm dark days ahead. You think a low scifi world set in the close future where 5 (maybe more) apocalypses went off at once? The original developers did, sadly the new guys seem to hate the idea. Every update for years has focused on stripping the fun out of the game, it's only a matter of time before they remove the zombies for being too unrealistic.

    You might enjoy Cataclysm Bright Nights instead then, since it was forked before all those stupid changes with pocket sizes and nutrients. Been playing it a bit and it's pretty enjoyable.

    Played cdda years ago but could never figure it out and wasn't able to get much done, my instance on not using a tileset and just going with the askii graphics because "that's how it's supposed to look" likely didn't help. Been wanting to give it another shot for a while but never got around to it.

    Have you tried the bright nights fork? Never played it personally but remembered it existed while writing this and took a look at it, and it seems like what you are looking for. If you have tried it, how is it?

    It's fun! There are a few mechanical things that are just better in dark days (people talk shit about pockets, but it's the best thing that's been added in years) and the mods hadn't moved over when i played it last, but it's generally a better experience.

    Edit after looking for the newest update to BN: holy shit the mods. The mods have moved over, they are in a better place, they are more extensive, there is no reason to ever go back now.
