endless-sky VS Cataclysm-DDA

Sounds very similar to Endless Sky[1] - another open source game drawing on the old Escape Velocity games. I really enjoyed both Endless Sky and the Escape Velocity games, so I'll have to check out Naev at some point!

There's an open source successor to Escape Velocity that's fun and continues to grow:

#2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game.

And that sucks! I really wish being Huge (or Tiny, but I haven't tried that personally) felt more distinct than it does. You really shouldn't be able to operate holdout pistols, but you should be able to stuff a thanksgiving turkey in your coat pocket.

If you look in the jmath.json file (https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/data/mods/MindOverMatter/jmath.json) under the matrix awakening odds and portal storm awakening odds, change the Return to "return": "0 * _0". That should set the odds of awakening to 100% regardless of how many paths you have.

Are you sure? I checked the initial PR and couldn't find any mention of an anvil, and I checked the current files, and also couldn't find any mention of an anvil.

There is not, but it was mentioned as a desired feature in the original PR introducing Electrokinesis so it will hopefully be added eventually.

Must be the newest experimental. Static hordes were added back to worldgen, the hordes option now only toggles dynamic hordes.

It currently works as of: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/releases/tag/cdda-experimental-2023-12-09-0323

[default 3D field of view was reverted|https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/69940] because there were some bugs in the tests due to it

That said, I recommend Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, which offers something like this.

Each power has a different set of thresholds leading into different powers. You can check the JSON files for each class on github to see which powers lead into eachother at what level.

Yeah, I ran into a similar issue working on craftable bone spike spears. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/57447 There is some decent research on the topic but it’s not open access which didn’t leave me with evidence to support my argument besides basically metadata. For the record I think this is reasonable, it’s just frustratingly difficult to find accessible modern research on these interesting topics
