I dont know, for one iron spike I can kill a one or two ferals, it costs 4 forged iron and takes about 2 minutes to craft. It also has this ugly habit of exploding cops. 

With single pipe bomb I can kill 16 zeds.

I would live spikes to work, so I can use that iron that mostly just lies in my chest.

Actually its not possible and to do it will destroy the FPS, so that is the main reason. We can't store ownership of a block without making it an entity, which makes it a draw call which seas of spikes will destroy FPS. Maybe. When we get land mines working we could consider it. I'd nerf the xp to 10% though or something. It is just too easy to make wood spikes and take a nap and level up. It would be stone axe crafting all over again.

Turns on god mode and fly, which would simulate what building with a bot could be like.

You obviously have it set to a different hotkey, because the standard one is "Q", not "G". :)

Edit: I occasionally go into Fly Mode (going into DM and pressing ESC to enable Fly Mode) to take screenshots, so you don't need to activate God Mode for that.

He is. He REALLY is now. He was deleted from the project.

BUT, I have been slaving away on a lot of special infected designs which will be a new challenge players are looking for. The sea of crying will be real I am sure, but it will be awesome.

I wonder if this will include any additional aerial threats? 🤔 Out with the vulture, in with the condor.

Any chance of a fire-puking variant? ;)  (Or perhaps bandits could throw molotovs on top of their conventional arsenal, idk.)

A behemoth stepped on it.

Trader Jen does not spawn at trader Joel's. All the signs say Trader Joel's.

That explains the crushed cars haha.

So hang on,so all traders have Trader Joel sign outside even if Jen is inside (which is in my RWG game atm) I also heard the male voice saying the trader is about to close. :p

Traitor Joel's, yes that is the actual name (read the sign), is a chain. Bob, Jen, Rekt and Huge work for Joel.

Ohh okay doky... Not noticed I guess till now and since Jen got a female voice put in I thought then maybe she got promoted to her own trade... :)

Name one nerf to difficulty / challenge since we launched 19? Not counting the bad animal density patch that went out. We've only been making things harder, like crits have higher chance, nerfed the shotgun OPness, etc.

They will get their own signs in A20 hopefully.

Yes, Trader Joel's is the walmart of the apocalypse. We are considering making them their own signs though and changing that.

Speaking of which, do you know if bleeding is supposed to return "in a big way" somewhere down the track during A19's dev cycle, or are you saving that for A20, if that is still the plan going forward? I believe you mentioned something about this previously.
