• The Official Dev Discord! The largest server for C:DDA, it has most of the dev team and if you are looking to chat about cataclysm, or looking to contribute to the game, it is highly recommended you come here; this server is specifically for talk about the game development.
• The Community Fan Discord! A more off-topic orientated server for the community, there are cataclysm channels there for discussion, and it provides a place for the community to be more chill and discuss common interest that would be too off-topic or general talk for the development discord

• WatchCDDA Discord! The server for WatchCDDA! The context for WatchCDDA is shown below.

• Japanese wiki 日本語 - No idea how up to date this is.
