Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

Has anyone else had this problem with loot drops...

After doing a horde night in the wasteland (lv 300) only yellow loot bags were dropping - no blue or orange ones.

So I console changed game time and redid the horde night again.... same,

Lots of demonics, incubi/succ's etc... only yellow drops.

Loot stage was @ 750 or so

Odd.  Put on Dev Cheat +200 loot goggles (loot stage 900+) and re-re-did horde night - only yellow drops.... and all crap (early game) stuff

VERY Odd... so I took off any mod that gave loot +'s (lucky goggles/rabbit's foot) etc and re-re-re-did horde night in the forest biome this time at about loot stage 664 - Then had some blue/orange loot bags... but rare.

Anyone seen anything like this before??

A game overflow error where too much loot stage causes the loot table to wrap back to the beginning again???

/A21.1 (B16 Stable) - DF B25)

//Just upgraded to B28 - will try the megacity map next  :)

Not quite as severely as you, but in ... B27, I think, I had a horde night when I was level 60+, loot stage 322 or so (maxed Quality Joe and Wasteland Treasures), and I play 120 minute days so the zombies actually stopped spawning before the night was over (i.e. I killed every single one), which made for a lot of bags (I've changed their expiration timer to be much longer), and everything was very early game stuff. Stone tools, etc., and the highest level drop was level 22.  It seemed very off, and very much not worth doing.

Some wandering hordes seem to be affected too, where every single drop is very low level. Though, of course, since there are few fewer zombies in wandering hordes, it's a bit more likely to just be RNG.

I think I've had two blue bags in hundreds of hours of V5, no orange ones (one of the blue ones did have two Black Sky, though). And none from horde nights.

Ah, thanks for reminding me... what file should I edit to tweak the loot bag expiration timer?

I had max Quality Joe and Wasteland Treasures too, so I'm wondering if the issue is there :?

entityclasses.xml. There's a ton of loot bag entries, but doing a search and replace of "<property name="TimeStayAfterDeath" value="1200"/>" seems to only affect the right entries (I use "3600" instead of "1200" so far).

hm. Could be. I always max those two as soon as I can (within limits; I normally start out taking the Laborer class first), so I don't really know how the middle/late game is without them.

Edit: I'm not sure if this is much to go by, since he started with a very early V5 version and then upgraded along the way, even when it was recommended to start a new game, (I don't know which version he ended with), but in GNS' recent playthrough he seemed to get very good loot from horde nights and I think he had both Quality Joe and Wasteland Treasures maxed, at least the last few horde nights.

I watched all of that series... very enjoyable (really good camera editing)

You don't

You do lose food after dying. Only other time i've seen that is with the vitamins buff, but can't see why it happens.

Maybe check the POI name... 😛

Buy it. You got unlucky on inventory.

First, thank you for your thoughtful response. And I didn't take any of that as rude or negative.

We're on B27 and experiencing unbelievable frame drops and lag at morning and night, only if moving. I run a 7900 XTX and she's on a 6900 XT and I'm getting ~20fps at for the first few hours in the morning and for the first hour or so at night. If we stand still, we're back up to 100+ but if we move at all, it immediately drops to teens at times. Never noticed this before in the other Dev builds.  If you're aware of this or we're doing something wrong, please disregard. If this is new to you, we can record in OBS or send a .log file or something for you.

Thank you for fixing the Black Sky bug in B28 - it's been crashing our game every time she shoots it in B27 :)

 
Hi KhaineGB and fellow gamers, 
Our friends and I have different Internet Service Providers. Our game server's ISP is different from mine and my other friend. 
Only 2 of us were having a hard time connecting to the server, taking 30+ mins. The rest of our friends don't have that issue since they have the same ISP. 
Is it an update issue? (cause we can play before on B27) or an ISP issue? or Funpimps Issue? Hope to hear and learn from you guys. Thank you 😆

Can you still play on B27 today but B28 doesn't connect? That would point to something in B28 but if B27 also doesn't work now, I'd look at ISPs, firewalls, etc.

 
Hi all,

Wondering if I have an issue with chicken coops.

I am on my first playthrough and loving the mod! Thank you so much KhaineGB! I started with B26. I am on Day 14 and made my first chicken coop as part of the farmer class. I also made a couple of snares. Neither seem to produce anything. when I access them I see loot boxes with one blue knife slowly blinking. A blue bar next to the knife grows upward, but when it gets to the top it disappears and starts over again.

I tried adding animal feed, but it doesn't accept any. I tried destroying and recreating them. I tried putting them up inside land claim spaces and outside. All placed on grass.

I updated to B28 and remade coops in the hopes that would fix things, but it still seems the same.

Am I missing something?

Which version are you playing? What do you mean by "mutated" zombie? You mean the bloated ones that spit acid in a radius around them?

Just loaded in and took some screenshots for you. Animal feed is the key. Check and make sure you're trying to place it in the proper place for each station.

Did you put feed in them? 

 
Darth Ritis said:
I crafted them with feed & eggs and then placed them.

I also tried adding feed (feed in my toolbar and right clicking, also tried left clicking) no sound or reduction in qty in my hand.

Place them in the slot labeled "Animal Feed" when you are interacting with the coop. No more right clicking.

 
Hello, first of all, thank you for the work that goes into this and the desire you put into making this work well.

I wanted to ask a question about maps. In the Alpha 20 version there were some maps with new and super elaborate buildings and cities with Chinese themes, etc... Those maps no longer exist?

Forgive above all my ignorance with these things.

Thank you so much

I believe you're thinking back to when the POI Expansion Pack (PEP) was included in DF. Not sure if Khaine's eventually adding it back into DF or not, but it's not been included in the dev builds.

The buildings Edeta are asking for are in the Compo Pak. due to the people running the Compo Pak pulling a Hasbro is why Khaine made the PEP. It was included in because the megacity has pep pois. I know I've raided the NGG "li bary" at least once.

 
I just noticed that all trader factions raise together. If i do a mission for Rekt all other trader factions go up too. Is this intended?
