PC A20 Developer Diary Discussions

okay. but what about EXP number? 😅  Honestly upgrading is the best exp grinder. after add steel part's mining is not good "job" as buliding ( because you get a lot of walls pikes etc)
in Alpha 19, going from frame wood to steel is 1056 EXP per block. I am wondering the same thing about EXP for the new building material progression system

Hi, I really hope devs read my personal opinion, I love this game since years ago but I'm tired of starting a new game over and over again, I want to play in a creative game for creating perdurable buildings and things such as this, wasting multiple hours for something, not for losing everything each x months. Just leave it as it is now and start to develope a new game, like 7D2D2 if you want, that way you can do every new thing you want but without the pressure of fandom.
You do realize that you bought the game as Early Access and that changes were expected?  If you don’t want things to change, I would recommend not purchasing an EA game in the future, and just wait for the final games to be released.

@faatal You guys keep mentioning all new HD zombies; none of them are left to do, and showed them off.

But I dont think I have seen the zombies "demolisher" or "feral wight", and a few others.

Also, what about "Grace" ???

I believe you when they say they are done 😛 Just wondering if we can get a peek.
Here is Feral says helloo)

aaand the crowd is outa controool! So by the way i hear this just for the first time, can you spotlight this in a vid pls?

And while you are working on shape UI: Its absolute horrible to hold down a button to open a menu! Its a cramp to change blockshapes actually and you cant leave the shapemenu wit Esc. Doesnt feel fluid. There must be a better solution.
You mean like the live stream they did on Wednesday on Twitch and got published to YoutTube this Saturday?

Hey TFP will the upcoming Wednesday feature the RND world gen developers? I would like to try to ask them questions. If not making a schedule of who’s coming on Wednesdays would be awesome. 
They said it's gonna be the level designers. That means POIs, and with 145 new POIs so far there's a LOT of content they could be showing us!

Also, another small suggestion/request, could the stone sledgehammer and the bone knife (maybe the stone shovel while we're at it) be moved to the basic crafting menu alongside the wooden club, primitive bow, and stone spear? It feels odd that the former three are a little more tucked away.
Would that also expand to the T0 weapons coming in Alpha20?

Depends if TFP considers them "primitive enough" or not. *shrugs* I just find it odd that the stone spear was added to the basic crafting menu while the stone sledge (perhaps the bone knife as well) was not.

That’s a good point.  When I made my comment, I was thinking more of the T0 stun baton which will fall in the same category as the stone weapons for the other attribute trees, then I just included thr T0 firearms

So, the new spider zombie. Joel let it slip in the stream that it climbs. Is this true, or was he mistakenly thinking of the old A15 mechanic? Since Joel is NEVER wrong, it climbs, right?? :D
hope so. cuz right now i call him the grasshopper zombie. 


Also hope the spider zombie shoots webs... (don't ask wear from)

What?!? That’s a thing?!?!
The most anticipated feature of a20 will be the marked stones/nests for the tutorial quest. Seriously, doesn't matter if you are a noob or if you have been 16 years in the Army, sometimes they just don't show up until you complete the quest. I swear that must be scripted to make you punch rocks or chase a chicken, lol.

@Roland (or someone else who is affiliated with TFP in some, way, shape, or form, or a member of TFP staff themselves), The amount of comments and subreddit threads I've seen where people are unaware of the open/closed book symbols for read/unread schematics is truly astonishing, and if you ask me, honestly not surprising. I can guarantee you that if hundreds of content creators each made a "10 things you didn't know about 7D2D" video and this small detail was their #1 pick, their video would be flooded with individuals who would be shocked to learn that this is a feature; I've seen it happen. I genuinely believe it's not a case of people being idiots or unobservant, as some might claim - this is genuinely just such a small detail that can easily be overlooked. I would suggest that an improved visual indicator for if you've read/not read a book/schematic to be implemented. Either they should be colorized accordingly (closed book = green, read book = red), or these icons should be replaced with a good old fashioned checkmark and cross. :)
Honestly this same problem with schematic : i rly don't know if i read this or not. Maybe blocked option to read this same book/schematic twice could be better solution: red/green color will "destroy" icons - now books looks like real books

OOoooh, this... I actually like the baton. A T3 baton would be great.

Maybe even if the damage was the same as T2, but the AOE was greatly improved.

@faatal

Is the starter quests disappearing fixed in A20

Reproduced 100%

start a game, get the intro quest, save game, exit, reload....

No way to get them back. theyre lost.

------------------------------------

@faatal

Or the loot bug

Coop partner opens a container in a POI.

Start a quest from a trader for the same POI while that person is still in the inventory.

That person can no longer loot anything from inventories (trash cans, garbage, boxes etc)

And not just for that POI, but in that game anywhere until they relog.

as far as i know they can still pick up something that isnt inventory (like a rock off the floor) but

opening inventories is now broken without a relog.

Check whether the icon is an open or closed book.
