PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

At the moment I often see weapon chests have multiple stacks of 2-4 weapon parts in them (4 player co-op at day 13, so probably we are in loot-tier1), while they were almost unseen in tier0 stone age. If such parts were dropping in stone-age, but only in stacks of 1 weapon part and only slowly rising, a 3 part difference for each quality step would make a big difference.
EDIT: No wait, I take that back, tier1 weapons should not normally be craftable in the stone age already. Maybe tier1 should start with for example 6 weapon parts.
Naturally you would also have to be able to craft the quality you have parts for, not only the quality you theoretically could.

I thought they said they had removed them this Alpha which is why I'd said that. Waiting on stable to update and play.
They have not i now seen Spiders (i think only in wandering horde), Strippers, Shellsys (Chearleaders), Bikers, Football jocks, Cops. Did not see them at start they appered one after another with rising game stage. Ok to be serious i did see them before Animal Flood now i only see dire woves and bears outside of POI's xD. And if you in a POI a bear will come knocking "I am the main Feature of 163b and want attention. NOW!!!"

Use a wood fence in place of the ladder for a drop. If the upgraded appearance isn't to you're liking and you don't want to paint it, a wood plate on the same level as the hatch also should work (you attach the hatch to the plate) instead.
They are working on new stripper model with LBD, and showed concept art during dev stream.
The hatch just needs something to attach too. You can place them on any block, which basically what ladder is. like ppl have said put down plate to attach it to.

Rick in the last dev stream mentioned he thinks at least more hd zeds will make it into A19.

Greetings,
Maybe this has been answered somewhere already, I can't say:
Do the Fun Pimps plan to improve the built-in Random World Generator further, up to the point where you will be able to choose the amount of mountains, biomes, map border, water etc. and choose between respective types (e.g. rivers, seas, hills, canyons, etc.)?
For a long time, I have been using NitroGen for random world generation, but now that I'm playing A19, I have tried the built-in RWG again, and I'm admittedly torn between the two. NitroGen creates very nice wilderness and landscape maps, but, for my taste, falls short when creating towns and cities. I feel that these are much better integrated into the vanilla RWG-made maps. NitroGen also lacks the bridge and biome-specific POI placement logic I value in the vanilla RWG. (It's still a great tool, no doubt about that.)
Do you have plans for doing something similar to NitroGen with the RWG?

That worked perfectly, as I see other people have said as well. I put the plate down next to the block and the hatch went over the hole just fine, and then I was able to remove the plate and the hatch stayed in place and worked.
Thanks to all that responded!

We were talking about the Football Player zombie, not the Stripper.
Careful walking on top of it, unsupported hatches have a tendency to break.

The original question I had replied to a couple pages back was asking about which zombies have armor. Football players, Military, Biker and Demos do but I was of the understanding that the football player zombie had been removed for A19 and said as much. @LilMissNorti and @max2k mentioned that they have encountered them in A19 so apparently the football player zombies are still in currently.

I've encountered quite a few football players as well, so yes, they are still around at least for now.

Checking out the new exp patch. I like the fact that predatory animals spawn during the day again. However, can the dire wolves be game staged during day hours? I'm level 3 now and I've already came across 3 and a bear during the day. 2 of the dire wolves were together. No regular wolves yet. Did the dire wolves get a hp buff too?

It is definitely challenging to take on a dire wolf with primitive weapons. I think I usually had at least a pistol if not a shotgun before I came across one.
(edit) very helpful that I can make a blunderbuss without a workbench and a few simple easy to find items.

Even though I have died like 4 times in the latest build (released Friday) to wild life compared to zero since A19 first released I kind of liked the added danger of large predators out there and makes an added element to survival...
So reading what MM has planned we could be going back to seeing predators only at night and in the day time solitary Chickens and Rabbits will rule the earth.
I do understand that once guns come into play i.e. AK47 ... nothing moves for long in the day or night and meat is then back on the menu BOI'S in abundance. May I propose the idea that dangerous animals spawn in accordance to player level and the higher the level the player is, the less meat (meat can be contaminated or something) the animal gives away to counteract the meat issue.
