The HEAT system should really be renamed to "Activity" as its not technically a measure of actual HEAT.

While I appreciate the implication that I'm ignorant and ridiculous....I like the change. You still didn't answer why it was a problem? Is it that it's not realistic?

I'm ambivalent on the "heat" change with the dew collectors, but what I'm curious is if they really fixed the progression with the tiers of weapons and tools now. I wonder if a tier 1 iron spear will be better than a tier 5 stone.

That's not so different from real life if you think about it... they created a virus that started a pandemic (caused a problem), they then sold us the vaccine, and then they raised the price of sale to governments, even during the pandemic. Then we found out the vaccine was unsafe. This generated A LOT of hate! ... And people will start screaming!
See? Not much different from real life! :confused2:

Explain how a dew collector would generate heat. An item with no electrical parts, no moving parts, no source of fuel to burn or anything of the sorts.
A furnace makes sense, a campfire makes sense, hell a torch makes sense. This is the equivalent of saying water will generate heat. That puddle next to your base? Heat block. This update is peak nonsense from the pimps.

Lol. The joys of going back and fixing a typo. Would be great to get the pimps to fix their mistakes also.

Vulkan is still very much an experimental feature in our game and Unity. We will be updating to Unity 2022 LTS for A22, which should have better Vulkan and DX12 support as Unity does improve them each year.Just wanted to update my post here about the game running worse than A20. I just realized when launching the game client, I guess my steam beta settings were default set to use Vulkan to render. I changed it to direct x 11 and the game now gives me 25+ fps instead of 8-12.

Well, the heat map really has nothing to do with "heat" or temperature. Noise also increases the "heat map" like chopping a tree down or mining. Is it inconceivable to to imagine that that constant drip drip drip drip drip drip (like a faucet) might not cause zombies to want to investigate the noise? They already seem to have super human hearing when I'm sneaking in a POI.

Update:
Tier 7 difficulty custom POIs will throw IOOR exceptions when a sleeper volume is triggered
Anyone know if tier 7 quests exist or what is meant by that?

So dew collectors generate activity heat now. Why? You guys wanted us to have tons of them - the only purpose I can think of behind this change is that you've added it for the sole purpose of being a-holes. There's no reason something that passively collects a small amount of water should be attracting attention from zombies. At the very least, TFP could increase the amount of water from dew collectors to 4 or 5 in a 24 hour in-game period.
TFP. Is there any reason why basic Robotic Turret Ammo is not part of loot or not sold at trader?
You can always recover some ammo with regular weapons while doing poi's and quests. But for an intelligence build, you can only craft it. Surely this could find it's way as part of the loot table. Doing infestation quests can be very ammo intensive especially at higher levels. Thank you.

"Batteries now scale the crafting resources per tier to prevent exploits "
Can someone explain this one? I don't understand it, I didn't know of any exploits involving it.
Personally I like how Fallout 3 and New Vegas do it - you "recover" (keep) some of your casings when firing your guns.

Maybe the sound of the constant dripping of those water farms are attracting them. How irritating is a dripping faucet?

By that logic then, how would they hear other workstations behind several layers of concrete? I get what you're saying, I do. But it just seems like a change made purely to be dicks to players.
