I know Im a little late to finally be trying out the the new Alpha but just wanted to say the Learn By looting and magazine change is amazing.   Looting was many times pointless before, feels so much better.  Great Job.   Just need to add some adult nudie magazines to increase my glue production.

There's another issue that needs to be tweaked: The thing about looting small objects and have them dissappearing is awesome, but why is it that I can still use my stone axe or wrench to take away some hitpoints from a bird's nest and get feathers or wrench a water collector with items inside before taking them so it doesn't dissappear? same with plastic from trash, paper, etc. I believe that is not intended since the change?

If I understand correctly, are you saying small loot containers are not disappearing as expected if the container itself is damaged before emptying out the container? They were disappearing for me on A21.2 b30

No. Not a bug. Balance. I'm saying that you can always hit a nest with an axe and get 1 or 2 feathers (like you are doing in that video) until your output damage for stone axes is too big. You can do the same for any of the containers that vanish that way. 

Let me be specific, the vanishing fact is awesome, but by doing that change you guys left the ability to get resources on hit, but that feature is now convoluted and niche, not only that, if a player has 25% loot and wants scarcity, that trick makes feathers a non issue, generating the balance issue. The problematic containers with that issue are ALL that vanish, so deleting the ability to get resources for them is a must. They give easy-to-obtain clutter anyway, except for the nests and water collector and the like.

You know what's disappearing for me? Street decals. On the road that has Bob's Boars on Navezgane, there's that big dip. In that dip I noticed that the newspaper pages disappear when I get close to them. It could be happening elsewhere too; it just hasn't grabbed my attention.

BTW, I just gave birth to page 398!

Yup, that one's already on the known issue list "Road decals disappear as you walk towards them (garbage deco)", been around for a while it seems.

so...does that mean that in your mod account, there are generally enough unapproved posts to fill about three pages, that never actually make it in?

Please, make a dedicated thread for those, I desperately need some inspiration.

As a Mod does that mean you still have access to 3 pages of deleted posts? Anything in there interesting? :)

The explanation is probably very banal, I suspect that I have slightly increased the text size for this website.

Give me pornos for double xp

It's "enlightening"

 
so are most of the changes in the latest A21 experimental branch (21.2  b30 exp) aimed at fixing the origin ray fail errors being made by drones, as well as making drones far more stable and less buggy?

wait until they reveal the armored bandit battle dogs

Obvious thing if you ask me, that bandits would keep wild zombie dogs, rig them with nasty body attachments, and let them loose on people.

Maybe even with some robotic features...to prevent them from turning against their owers...then you'd have all three of them.

Armored robotic drone zombie bandit battle dog it is.

...wow sounds like one of these weird manga series that always start with this little kid that is new at school...
