It has come to my attention that I made an error: Basic Carpentry practice will not raise your fabrication above 2. If you are at 2 and need to get to 3 in the version of the game linked in the description, you should be able to craft a "distaff and spindle" two or three times to get the final rank.
As of November 21, 2022, you no longer need 1 rank of throwing to perform the throwing practice action. You can skip the step at 2:54 and go directly to 4:05.
Pro tip: Use the up arrow or the number 8 to go a tile forward.
Pockets are still somewhat new and there isn't a good guide for setting them up for organization yet, so allow me to share my biggest tip learned through hundreds of hours of gameplay:
Set the pockets on your backpack to priority 5 and don't put a whitelist or blacklist on it. Pockets default to priority 0 and the game tries to fill high priority pockets first, so if you pick up a pebble the game will default to your backpack. Once your backpack is full items will start going into pockets, so they act as extra storage when needed.
Want to store ammo outside the backpack so you have it even when you drop your backpack? Set an ammo pouch to priority 10 and whitelist the ammo. With whitelists only the items on the whitelist are allowed in the pocket, and combined with a higher priority than the backpack (10 vs 5) the game will automatically see that ammo pouch as the best place to put your ammo.
Thanks!
Man I would love to just listen to you do a regular playthrough
In the latest experimental, the throwing practice recipe is available at throwing zero. As you showed, there is no point in gatekeeping that behind throwing 1.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHthank you for letting me know. I'll add it to the top comment.
I've never known about blacklisting pockets. I've always just manually moved things to the bag I wanted. Thanks for the new knowledge!
the more Worm Girl posts CDDA tutorial vids, the more happier I get. Thanks for the lessons.
Also I love her arts for the thumbnail and sutuff.
Huge fan of how you present these topics-you explain things clearly and in a straightforward manner… and the memes you insert are always funny and never too “random”. Great work!
Tips for new players:
1. If you find a small boulder, wield a rock using the 'w' key (then use arrow keys to select the rock and press the 'Enter/Return' key), and then smash 's' key followed by direction of the boulder. Eventually the boulder will break and drop a lot of rocks.
2. You can batch make items by going into the crafting menu, selecting the craft you want to make, and pressing the 'b' key. Then you can choose how many times you want to make that craft. Also, in the main game window, one can repeat their last craft by pressing the '-' (dash/hyphen/minus) key.
ngl if it wasn't for this channel I have no idea what I would've done. Thank you for putting them up, they really help o7
These are very high quality tutorials, please don't stop making these. I'm a long term player, and learned something here! It's fun to see you showcasing a very different style to mine: conservative, slow and steady. I tend to skip all of the primitive survival stuff and just loot modern commodities from houses armed with a quarterstaff or spear, but I do have the benefit of oodles of combat and daylight raiding experience.
EDIT: I see you've already covered these topics earlier. Excellent work.
I found you through the Fear and Hunger lore video, but this was a fantastic guide for perhaps my most favorite game. I'm super glad I found your channel
4:18 Thanks for the errata. Never happened to me but the pocket micromanagement thing seems very intelligent
7:39 A sling drive-by is action-movie material
for people who dont know how to throw roks would be useful to explain that you can also press v and then / an search rock, and it will show you all the rocks in the area until you reset the search
Ayy new vid lets go!
Thanks for explaining me the game i simultaneously want to play the most and the least
I cant state enough how helpful those first lines of help are to. My inventory is always a huge mess and i was not aware you could black/whitelist anything. Awsome content.
5:00 - Oh my god, it's The Adventures of Bayou Billy! I loved the soundtrack for that game!
God bless you and your videos!! Like Dwarf Fortress, CDDA is one of these unpredictable and intricate games that I love to play but can't keep myself alive for more than a few hours of gameplay.
Best CDDA tutorial series! I finally managed to get into the game after many earlier attempts. Thanks!
I'm so glad to hear these videos are effectively onboarding people. There is so much game here once you figure out how to put on pants without dying.
Omg keep up the good work! You're doing AWESOME , also I've never heard of the staff sling and will now find a way to arm an army with them
I love your content!!
FINALLY my neighbors won’t stand a chance, I was always confused on how to throw rocks but now I get it!
I’ll update on how the tutorial applies!
Waiting on that update 😁
@@benvella1728 ass beat by my mama
I am not from America but it seems to be a lot of Guns laying around i usually Never have much difficult finding One but the staff sling seems very handy
And I forgot great tutorial as usual
There really are a lot of them over here, especially in the suburban and rural areas where this game mostly takes place.
Good to see another youtuber helping others understand this beast of a game!
I'm so glad to see more of these helpful tutorials, I hope folks see these and give cataclysm a shot!
I highly recommend going into Settings->Interface->Aim window display style (line 43) and changing it from "Bars" to "Numbers". That shows you the actual percentage chance to get various kinds of hit or miss instead of having to interpret the weird bars.
I did not know this was a thing, thank you! I'll check it out.
@@mutantwormgirl nobody knows it's a thing, which is a shame because it's so useful. This actually reminded me to put in an issue suggesting we change it to Numbers by default, so maybe that'll be a thing.
Just watched the video earlier today. Then I go to rewatch it and just noticed the intro's title.
It's great. I love it. And your video was informative, too!
Great video guide as always!
Pretty impressive that this character can pick up and use a sling well with that little practice..
Yeah a sling sounds like a tool that deserves dedicated training, due to its quirk in throwing. The same should apply to a typical bow. A simple throwing skill I suppose is just general aim, but doesn't account for the quirks of the various individual weapons.
You can also get a lot of rocks early by smashing small boulders
wake up babe, new Worm Girl tutorial
I can always point to these videos and recommend quality DDA content
Thanks for the video!
Your content opened the door for me.
awesome video. thanks
I am so excited for this update
Intro had me so confused on whether or not i clicked on the right link to the point i actually went back a page and re-clicked to make sure LMAO
Thank you for making this video! After seeing this, in my game I went on a massive rampage with my staff sling that unfortunately ended in my death due to a zombie dog catching me and letting the horde get to me. Whoops. Worth it
VALHALLA!!
@@mutantwormgirl YEAAAA
Thank you
The idea of driving a car while using a sling "easily" is very funny to me.
Very handy. Didn't know how to manually aim. The whole aiming mechanic was confusing to me. I also had never touched the pocket mechanics. That stuff was new to me too.
Entertaining video too.
Love the big goblin energy the thumbnails exude 🤣
Would you consider doing a video on early game food gathering? Methods other than just scavenging it from towns I mean.
"Nature's bullets", I'm totally stealing this.
I'm already pretty experienced with CDDA, but I wish to feed the engagement machine.
Make it so
though i recognised your name from somehwere
love the videos
Incredible tutorial series! Don't know if I would play the game without you, keep it up! One question though, at 16:58 how do I get 'long sticks' required for the craft?
I believe they covered this in an earlier episode, but punching young trees is the way.
Saplings. Hit them with stout sticks or rocks. You can use unarmed but it takes longer usually. If you have any kind of ax that's usually the fastest way to smash them.
Worth mentioning that Taekwondo is a martial arts you can use while holding something (eg a sling), since it's all kicks. So you can shoot something until it gets into melee range and then kick it to death while still holding your ranged weapon. Caution: hard to give up once you've tried it though, like infidelity.
Games with a 19 minute tutorial for throwing rocks my beloved
what button do you press to interact with the curtains to choose to peak through them or tear them down? Thank you for all the videos
Just press e while adjacent to them. It'll usually only work if you're on the inside of the building.
@@mutantwormgirl thank you! This is definitely an important action to use!
WAIT i was looking for some fun cdda playlist.... GEEEZ THIS profile is full of it.
I luv rocks❤
Please make a gun tutorial next ❤
finally a cdda worm-tuber
"Purple rain?" "No." "Sign O' The Times?" "Definitely not." "The batman soundtrack?" "Throw it."
Can you duel wield slings?
Man, I remember when slings took rocks for ammo, good times, good times.
Did you use music from Bayou Billy on the NES? o.o
Ok, please explain me why you managed to get Fresh weariness coming from Very Weary while my character struggles to fully recover starting from half Lightly Weary bar. What am I doing wrong?
I have 200 health and 24 health modifier (checked via debug), eat super healthy, go to sleep at 9 PM and wake up at 4 AM.
The weariness calculations are pretty complicated, I'd be interested to know more about your situation. One big thing is that if your body is low on stored calories (ie underweight), you'll actually recover more slowly, I think injury might also contribute. Age and body size can also be a factor, but unless you are heavily mutated or extremely old, it shouldn't be a factor.
Are you running any CBMs? The metabolic battery charger will prevent you from properly resting as it's leeching off your body's energy stores. The only other thing I can think of is if you're super overburdened, it might be negatively impacting your rest rate.
@@mutantwormgirl Sorry I'm late but only managed to have some time now.
Since I have fitness band I keep track of nutrients and calories, and I always go to sleep with 200 more calories than the ones spent before sleeping. I also have 100% on iron, calcium and vit C.
My character is normal weight.
Traits: Fast Lerner, Indefatigable, Pack Mule,Glass Jaws, Mood Swings, Rigid Table manners and Wool Allergy.
He's 24yo, 200 Health, 24 Health modifier (feel great)
Athletic skill: 3
I've tried again and, yes, he still can't fully recover from light weary half bar while sleeping, so I usually can craft stuff for a limited amount of hours.
Last thing: I'm currently on summer, dunno if heat can affect recovery.
You live!!!!
The first minute and thirty seconds of this video; holy shit
New work girl video :D
Interesting. I've never used manual aim, only regular or careful since I'm too lazy to adjust it every time
Once I got my hands on a hunting rifle my aiming choice is always p
I like to manually aim because it makes it a lot easier to keep track of where all the enemies are, you don't get any big time jumps where suddenly someone is right in your face.
Next: Advanced staff sling, Crafting the Grenade sling mod. heheheh.
5:00 Poor grandma... xD
What is your tile set? It doesn’t look like undeadpeople
MSXOtto+. It and Ultica are the most regularly updated and complete of all the sets. MSXOtto+ looks the best in my opinion, though Chibi Ultica (Ultica tiles with MSXOtto sprites) is good too.
It's weird how weak a basic sling is in this game, considering how in real life a good sling can send a pebble or ball bearing downrange with the force of a bullet...
I'd say it's pretty accurate. Real slings are nowhere near as powerful as a handgun is. Yes there's some mouthbreathers who both up some maths and unironically think that a small sling is just as powerful as a 9x19 handgun but it's.... not even close. And we're using it against zombies in game, who don't feel pain. So that extra stopping power really makes a difference.
@@h1tsc4n40 You clearly haven't seen those dudes slinging rocks so fast that you get supersonic cracks. That *is* 9mm levels of energy. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, so don't act like an authority on anything.
@@rustyshackleford1508 sling projectiles generally achieve a velocity of around 160 km/h.
A 9x19 bullet usually flies at around 1200/1300 km/h
I'd say there is a slight difference. Just because you get a supersonic crack from the sling does not mean the projectile is anywhere near reaching supersonic speed. Not to mention, that the projectile itself is ill suited for penetration, as it's shape favors it crushing rather than piercing, which makes it even less effective. The 9x19 bullet is small, and shaped correctly for a penetrating effect.
A well placed sling shot will kill you, but so will a not as well placed handgun shot. And my money is definitely on the handgun.
Oh i should mention, those speeds are achieved by individuals who are very well trained in using slings, which our character in game is most likely not.
It's almost like there is a reason we're using guns instead of slings in war eh?
@@h1tsc4n40 The fuck is this junior high level of understanding of math and physics, I'd bet you think .45 would be nonlethal because it's subsonic
@@rustyshackleford1508 i shoot .45 quite often, and it is lethal. It is also not a sling pebble, though.
Whats the logic behind a sling being a one handed weapon?
Slings are operated with one hand irl. It is not a slingshot.
Very-helpful, CataclysmDDA is truly an enigma for newbies & keep-up the good work.
I usually skip the primitive ranged weapons, never found them truly worth using. I'll just make myself a homemade halfpike or a wooden spear and try to get a gun. Get yourself a suppressed pistol caliber carbine and you're set for a very long time. Otherwise you can sneak into a FEMA camp and snatch an M4 from the armory. It'll do in a pinch, but it's sure to attract a lot of attention every time you use it.
I usually just make a cudgel and roll with that until I find something better or can make a shillelagh/loaded stick. But my goal with this series was to give new players a foundation of knowledge using items that are guaranteed to be lying around the shelter.
In future episodes we'll cover looting and the importance of trying to find a gun before you bump into a hulk or shocker and really need one.
@@mutantwormgirl oh no yeah i agree, i actually learned that you can indeed make slings thanks to this series, you're doing a good job showing people the basics.
This game seems a lot like dwarf fortress adventure mode
I can't believe Worm Girl was wrong about basic carpentry in a videogame. This is truly the internet scandal of our lifetime.
Man, what the hell is that inventory system. It's been a minute since I played and that looks absolutely pointless in it's complexity. Do the devs hate fun?
I'm not sure your intro was quite happy enough/
no - definately go project zomboid but id wait till patch 42 hits... this is atari old
This is far better than project zomboid, that game has literally no content, and is extremely easy after the first few days
