Until the game is 100% bug free where it comes to a legitimate player death, then people who want permadeath, now, are just a bit foggy in the head or just like being controversial.

I had a character that I logged of while he was on the side of a bolder and when I logged back on, it looked like he fell through the bolder and died.  Now if that is the ONLY case where you would die from a bug, then I would be OK with it. 

Of course, If you don't have the self control to delete the game on a valid player death, then that's on you, if your intent was dead-is-dead.

 
Right now Int only has one melee weapon in the from of the Stun Baton that is tier 1 or 2 as it needs baton parts to make and forged iron. So your not going to get one for a few days in game or later since in my experience those don't appear until your game stage is over 20 or so. Other then the Stun Baton a Int player also has the Robotic Sledge and that is almost as rare or worse to get mattering on your luck. So Int is in real need of tier 0/1 options to tie them over until they can get their classes weapons.

Personally I would love a tier 0 upgraded torch weapon that is just a torch combined with a pipe via plant fiber or duct tape. Making a crude flaming pipe weapon that will be weaker then a wood club but can set zombies on fire. Now as for a tier 0 ranged weapon to me a dart gun makes sense that fires the iron darts used by the dart trap.

The torch is your strongest early game weapon anyways =P and it doesn't have durability (like it once had).

Can anyone expand on this? Does that mean any partial block that you rotate out of its "simple" alignment gets a durability penalty?

Huh....I read that as the horizontal poles can absorb 6x the damage rather than get destroyed 6x more quickly. Either way it’s pretty crazy and should be addressed.

I don't think he's trying to insult content creators actually. He's mostly talking about having options to toggle on an off certain restrictions when creating the world so you don't have the "So i did a lil minin off camera".

Then obviously you have not read back through his previous posts.

not sure why you guys are trying to fight it, MM has already said it's happening cause it has value and minecraft even has the setting. If this just adult minecraft as it is described by many then why wouldn't it also have that option. I think adding game mods is an alpha thing, am I wrong?

Are you guys against the idea of horde arena too? Not sure if thats what its called but if you've been playing long enough and watch the dev videos you'll know what I'm talking about.

no he's right, its just your guys hostility towards the things I think are important in the game have created hostility towards what you think is important. I've also always wanted better things for 7 days. I didn't think we'd end up here and this would be the end product. The way I play which is my choice is the way I would have liked the game to be. More options isn't a bad thing, it adds to replay value.

Bro watch his YT videos. 90% of the commentary is "I don't do X because it's cheap / cheese". It's so cringe. And the fact he subs to Jonah is just hilarious.

If I don't say that I'd have people asking me well why didn't you do this, 'you know this is the meta why not do it.' If you don't like don't watch, your obviously happy with the way the game is so watch people who play the game the way it is.

I didn't name drop anyone.

What is wrong with giving people tips on how they can make their playthoughs more realistic? I'm telling them I how I do that and what I do to survive in the hardest of the hard and make it more immersive while playing permadeath. It's tips so I have to commentate, other playthoughs outside the tips ones will be just me playing how I play rinse and repeat. Honestly I'm waiting for alpha like everyone else right now so if I die who cares and because I'm upfront about it it just adds to my legitimacy. I give an edited and unedited cut as proof. I also just started doing videos 5 days ago so there is only so much time in the day to play edit publish so 5-6 vids isn't that bad.

You really need to grow up. 

Or make a Styx Dream`s thread, so you can get the attention and ideas that can prove that you can actually contribute with ideas, not repetitive critics. 

Implementing something by repeating is useless in 2020.

I don't know the details of what works or not currently. Just guessing. I have not touched that code and the creator is probably one of the programmers no longer with TFP. Like many features, it needs to be tested and reevaluated someday when someone has time.

Awesome.  That makes sense.  Definitely not a high priority, just more in the extreme nuisance category. 

Well, for normal people that is.  For me it's a constant irritation like nails on a chalk board with sand in your bathing suit while standing on a fire ant mound.  But I never claimed to be any version of sane.

Thank you for answering. :)   The cookies/rum/skittles offer still stands though for whenever it is fixed.

I'm sure I am not the only one who thinks the amount of stone and bone tools is not only unnecessary, but also very very unrealistic. I mean the it is now there are hundreds of people who built stone tools. It is just annoying. I am really not a fan of this loot-based-on-day system. Maybe you already overthought this, but I didn't read it in the last update-notes.

Once you start playing the game you will realize you don't have the stamina to use iron or stone tools anyway, so looting them early wouldn't help.

It may not be realistic but the game needs some progression so you're not instantly using mid- or late-game items.

Hey, I'm an optimist.  Plus, today has been so poopy already that something good has to happen today ... it's the law of averages.

Can't blame a girl for asking.

Grocery delivery ... no clothes required.  But select the leave at your door option, otherwise the poor delivery person will get a shock.
