@madmole i was curious about possible corner blocks rounded like what im using on the top of my horde base, and @MechanicalLensis curious about rounded bars, im interested in those as well, for corners to kinda look better, what do u think?  I have looked but can only find the point ones and they don't look good at all on it

Not sure if this has been suggested or not, but I think it would be a good idea to add a separate 'blood moon range' option that let's blood moons occur 1-3 days before OR after the 7th day instead of only 1-4 days after. 

This way, you are still keeping the '7 days to die' concept intact while also giving players the option to add more randomness to the game, if they so choose.

Give the player a choice of setting it to 1, 2, or 3 days. (No more than that because then weeks would overlap.)

So for example; 

  1. Setting it to 1 day means a blood moon can happen at any time between day 6 - day 8. The next BM, day 13-15 and so on....
  2. Setting it to 2 days means a blood moon can happen at any time between day 5 - day 9. The next BM, day 12-16.
  3. Setting it to 3 days means a blood moon can happen at any time between day 4 - day 10. The next BM, day 11-17.
3 days also means there's a chance you could have 2 blood moons in a row at any given time. 

This would be a great option to include.

The Basic tab when you're setting up a game or going into a saved game has options to change when Blood Moons occur and a range days after the first possible day where it can occur instead. Set the first one to the earliest you want your range to start and the second one to the latest.

Yeah, that is fine. Now go post it in the Dev Diary instead of here....

Yeah I get what your saying but those options are still very limited to whichever 1st day you set it to and offer no possibility of a horde night happening BEFORE the set day. 

For example, setting the blood moon to say... every 4 days... with a blood moon range of 4 (highest possible setting) means the first horde can only happen only between day 4 and day 8. 

What I'm suggesting is an option that would also include the possibility of a horde night happening BEFORE the set date.

For example, I like to keep the setting to every 7 days (7, 14, 21, etc). So with this option, there would be a possibility of a horde night to happen unexpectedly on day 4 WITHOUT having to change it to every 4 days or whatever. It would offer more randomness and much more flexibility IMO.  

 
You can blame @Jay_ombie for the poor naming choice of this thread for that. 😛 They both start with "Alpha"...

@BobbyLee298 Probably because a lot of what you're posting, and a lot of what others are posting, now belongs here. :)  Yoo-hoo! Over here! Come on over! Join the herd! 😛

Yeah i noticed this too, roids are great for early game where encumberment is a major issue, but are only craftable late game when you have far better ways to curcumvent that issue.

I initially thought they boosted melee damage so hoarded them, along with testosterone, when i could finally craft them i was pretty disappointed that they are really just early game QoL boosts as opposed to late game power multipliers. They should probably get reworked with something else taking their place. Could be a good use for a candy?

Well, they did boost melee damage in earlier alphas. It seems now they moved (melee damage buff) that to the candy called "skull crushers". On the other hand though steroids still negate heavy armor penalty or in general armor movement penalties and gives you a speed buff.

Since today's theme is added blocks...

I wouldn't mind the ability to craft the noise making trash piles / broken glass we find in POI's as a poor man's 'alarm' for early game.

this part is easily modded in. Making stuff to put existing blocks in is simple enough. the hard part is getting ones that dont yet. we need some dev lovin

Maybe.  Other than editing vehicle speeds , I couldn't be arsed with modding the game at this point.  A recipe seems easy enough, 1 paper, 1 plastic, 1 can or a handful of broken glass. 

I'm not going to lose any sleep over it, but I'd find it a handy device in the first week or so to let me know there's something creeping around outside my wooden door.

 
AFAIK:

So for example; 

  1. Setting it to 1 day means a blood moon can happen at any time between day 6 - day 8. The next BM, day 13-15 and so on....
Click to expand...
Frequency=6, Range=2

  1. Setting it to 2 days means a blood moon can happen at any time between day 5 - day 9. The next BM, day 12-16.
Click to expand...
Frequency=5, Range= 4

  1. Setting it to 3 days means a blood moon can happen at any time between day 4 - day 10. The next BM, day 11-17.
Click to expand...
Frequency=4, Range=6

AFAIK the next blood moon is always calculated from the previous one, so the blood moons after the first won't follow a regular pattern anymore. I.e. in your last example the next BM could be on day 8 or day 20. I don't think they would expend developer time to add such a minor variation to a working feature.

ATM a small bug is that the explanation text for "blood moon range" in serverconfig.xml is misleading and saying the range is like you want it.

@Jay_ombie didn't set the thread up. One of the moderators (most likely @Roland) did. Jay_ombie's post in this thread's OP was originally in the A19 Dev Diary and got moved.

@madmole Phoenixshade35 slightly twisted my words which is fine, I was asking for corner wooden and iron bars, not rounded. :)  It's been something I've been wanting since A17, but hey, if they're not added, it's not something I'll lose my sleep over.

Edit: I'm too exhausted to provide the image at the time of me posting this, however we already have corner railings in the game. Now translate that shape over to bars. :)

lol my bad haha

Jay_ombie didn’t name or create this thread. I did. His just happened to be the cutoff post for my mass migration as I went back and cleaned house. 
 

I altered the name slightly so that it won’t be so close.
