Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead / Bright Nights - (Open World Apocalyptic Survival Game) 

It seems to make for better video making too

Well assuming it's the same in BN as in DDA.

LOL

It’s a good one!

I juts found it a couple days ago, I think I like it better than the old one I used to use

As a person new to CDDA, what makes bright lights different to the normal game?

@@mrbonlino Are you asking _me?_ As I said above, I've never tried Bright Lights.

@@mrbonlino Mainline CDDA heavily focuses on simulation/realism with stuff like food temperature, theoretical + practical knowledge, and other similar elements. CDDA Bright Nights is more streamlined arcade style with an emphasis on just playing the game over the more simulation aspects of mainline. I've had way more success getting into Bright Night myself as I seriously dislike some of the elements of CDDA mainline, like the pocket system. I vastly prefer the way inventory works in BN.

@@Harvest_Season coming back to cata after nearly 2 years, i couldn't agree more. things that were challenging (but fun) are now unnecessarily difficult and tedious. i have to relearn most of the game mechanics. i don't even want to try to build cool bases or a deathmobile because of annoying changes, like welding becoming a pain. and wtf happened to tailoring? i'm definitely going to be trying out Bright Nights. i have no desire to play any DDA version more recent than 0.E

​@@XxXMrSisterFisterXxX Bright Nights has a massive amount of mods available as well if you need some extra content. Look into the Kenan2000 BrightNights-Structured-Kenan-Modpack. It's filled with actively maintained mods. Outside of Kenan's maintained mods, I recommend looking into the Arcana mod for BN as well. It's my preferred supernatural/magic mod for CDDA.

When I first got into them I was very lost too. The first I forced myself to learn was Dwarf Fortress, it took awhile but at some point it just sort of clicked and everything was “reasonably” clear. I’m not at the point of saying “Ascii is beauty”, but it does have a nice look when done well

Just stick with it my friend, we all started with the same problem, Dwarf fortress is way harder though, CDDA isnt that bad really if you just get to grips with every key can have two commands at least, I always start with CAPS Lock Off and Num Lock On to avoid confusion because its a different command structure to get used to if you change it back to caps on. Just focus on "RETURN" KEY early game for the menu choices and use either cursors, number or mouse to select which menu choice , then later after you start to learn them off by heart move onto "i" = inventory, but "I" = compare and "e" examine, "E" = Consume, R read etc etc. Escape handy for another menu like saves and quick save etc, just focus on those two to start with This might help : i.imgur.com/4NZfr1Q.jpg cdn.toucharcade.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Photo-Jan-15-7-26-32-AM.jpg

it's undead people, pre sure dda removed it but u can download it

they work on both CDDA and BrightNights same with fonts,SFX,Tiles etc

One thing is almost every item is useful. In dda you go through mounds if items that dont have any function.

It is Jet Propellant/fuel #8 made by the us military as a substitute for diesel. Diesel engines end up running both in game though. =P

The military vehicles run pretty much everything.

Its a complete fork like BN\/DDA

Made a “dill” with the devil.

@@Nookrium Oh man... lol. Thanks!
