PC A20 Developer Diary Discussions

Hey guys! first off I want to say, ive been following this game for a long time and it has evolved into arguably one of the best survival crafting games on the market. You guys doing an awesome job :)) 
My one question for A20 is...(ignore me if this been asked somwhere in here), will you be fixing the wiring appearance? it hangs under lights and stuff creating shadows and well... looks like it's connected to air. Or maybe even a "hide wires" option?

I can answer this... Madmole said (not the exact words) that the entire point of this electric system is to look and feel "ragtag", so if you expect them to make a modern and functional electric system like (e.g.) in EGS, forget it, it's out of theme.

IIRC they did talk, however, about the possibility to only show wires while you're holding the wire tool in your hand. We'll see.

Hey thanks for your reply! 
yeah i totally dig the ragtag feel ofcourse and i dont mind that they hang. I looked into it more and realized that my issue was with lights that are part of light sources added on a modded server x) my issue is completely irrelevant. thank you for your time hahah

 
I gotta be honest, I really, really dislike that dog model, and if/when it's implemented I hope I can find a mod that replaces it.  It's not because it's scary or bad or something, it's because it's just depressing.  It looks like a burned dog, and just conjures up all kind of images of animal cruelty.  I'd much rather have something like the picture Blake_ posted, because that at least looks like natural decay, as opposed to a dog being burned alive.

One option to hide wiring however, if your base design allows it, is to run the wires through the floor and have arrow slits placed down that form the floor, allowing you to access relays, lights, etc. down through them with ease.

 
Are you going to put kid npcs in the game at some point ?

Madmole: Pretty much no to every "any chance for" question.

Bethesda: Proceeds to put them in but completely immortal so you can punch, shoot, burn, electrocute, freeze,  slash, hit, blow, humiliate and subyugate the hell out of the poor creature to your heart's content without any consecuence.

Another easy solution is to pretend they don't exist 🤣
