If you want to play, I recommend getting the newest experimental release from https://cataclysmdda.org/experimental/ instead of the 2-year-old 0.F-3. The experimentals are in good shape right now, as the next major release is very, very near, and will be almost identical to current experimentals.

It’s been a while but I’ve played this for hundreds of hours. I highly suggest playing terminal mode, your imagination is far cooler than any tile set and the in game description of things are very detailed considering the ridiculous amount of stuff in it. I once lived long enough to build a fully military armored RV, the memory of it still feels like a whole other life, with a tragic ending. Don’t drive too fast int…

Death by turret?

> “I played catadda 0.B on Lego EV3 brick through ssh about a year ago. Every simple move took a noticeable fraction of a second (like 0.3-0.5 second), crafting and such was very slow as well. The specs were - 300 MhZ CPU, 64 Mb Ram (+ another 64 Mb swap on microsd flash) running ev3dev (stripped ubuntu basically), ssh over USB CDC connection.” -burgerpro

A heads up for anyone trying to run this on their Lego EV3 Brick.

Doesn’t work on iPad sadly. Does anyone know similar games for iPad, that’s not infested with in-app purchases? Progression, survival, maybe some base building? I’ve been unsuccessfully looking for one for some time.

I get that with my kids. I'm not an iPhone user, so I don't know the app store. But my very young kid will know how to open the app store on my wife's iPhone. With Android I type "open source" or use FDroid if I don't want ads. However with the iPhone it seems like every seeming game is just an ad for more games. My poor son will get nested 3 ads or more deep (for a new game) deep sometimes.

People make a big deal about the App store being all curated, but it all junk when I looked.

I like turn-based games and look forward to trying. Went to download... someone is overthinking version numbers: "0.F-3 Frank-3" Nothing is wrong with a simple 1, 2, 3 counter. Maybe a single decimal if you really want to signal minor vs. major upgrades (but all too many projects wind up at 0.x or 1.x).

Tbh this project is not very good at regularly cutting releases, I'd recommend grabbing the experimental. When I played I'd just build off main
