While you're likely correct, that's beside the point he's making. It's ridiculous for a player to complain about a mechanic that others like to exploit, but which does not affect their own play style. The fact that it's possible to build floating bases is not stopping Annihilatorza from enjoying and playing the game in the way he wants.

It might be OP, but a weapon mod that increases headshot damage, while greatly or totally reducing body damage, could be fun.
I would probably use it on insane mode to make some of the weaker weapons more viable, and better ones kill faster.
It is not super hard to get headshots though, so maybe it would just end up being a buff. Although, spider zombies and vultures... heh.

V sync is usually the cause of those low fps you see in that high-end rig. Turning it off will unleash the Pc to its full potential. because CPU is more relaxed and GPU can go all in. This game is extremely CPU-bottlenecked and offers few but more impactful options for CPUs. Like turning Dynamic Meshes off will boost garbage collection handling (which is processed by your CPU) and will result in way less freezes, for example.

Why are gamestage achievements half of what they actually require? For instance "Reach Gamestage 125" shows /250
So you need gamestage 250 to achieve it.

in emergencies even on insane you'd have to likely have another weapon out, can't rely on headshots when completely swarmed
Just play with no enemies dude, that's an option. Invincibility being cheesed is a problem for challenge servers.

SI (Structural Integrity) and base stability
I've noticed my bases seem to be collapsing more frequently in A20 than previously. Even after full repairs are made.
It looks like stability is not getting auto recalculated after replacing missing/broken blocks. (Like after a horde attack.) I did some checking and it isn't (for me). Here's how to check and fix:
Enable Command Console. [F1]
Enable Debug Mode. Type dm and hit [Enter]
Exit Command Console. [Esc]
Show Debug Tools. [Esc]
Enable Show Stability Select {Show Stability}
Anything vertical from ground (not 100% correct, but...) should be bright green. (Changing to yellow/orange/red the further you horizontally traverse from a supporting column.) But if you take blocks out and replace them, it does not go back to as originally built. To fix:
Select {Recalc Stability} in the Debug Tools menu.
The structure should return to original build stability.
To exit the Debug Tools Menu hit [Esc]
You can also now also disable Debug mode by performing the first 3 steps above.

If you set it, set it for something long like 50 days, then you just imagine some survivor went there and did something, ended up dying in the wilderness somewhere, that's a better thought than your coma idea. Fifty days is a long time to play and it normally won't pass more than once or twice in a run.

I believe its a relic of an old iteration of game stages.
I am sure they are waiting to actually go back and address the achievements for when the game is in beta.

This issue combined with turrets dropping through your towers requiring blocks be removed to retrieve them. Now I understand the last collapse.

This is a good point and when changes are made everyone should remember that it wasn’t because TFP succumbed to a group of whiners but because they felt it important to fix unintentional behavior.
When @faatal ended the steep slope exploit, he didn’t do it to stop players from enjoying their play style nor due to the excessive complaints that were posted about the exploit. He did it because it was a pathing bug and a collision issue that needed fixing— pure and simple.
When plates were reduced to 25% hp the floating base people were pretty unhappy and many of them even said the change would be the end of that type of base. If TFP decides to go forward with that plan it will be because it is how they intend the blocks in the game to function and not because they are at war with players and their strategies.

TFP does such a nice job with the HUD beeing minimalistic but then they slap that markers right into our face. GIve us the option to turn it on/off please, it´s enough to see it in the compass. No need for an immersion breaker in the middle of the screen. Especially the quick waypoint is annoying af.
Also, update does what? Can´t find any info on that.

It's still build 238 so I'm guessing it was either just Twitch Integration update or maybe just a Steam thing

Now that I check, it was only 425kb so yeah must be just a Steam thing.
Also, no A21 this year? I am outraged
