That would be great! Currently I never feel the need for a 4x4 (single player) because it's slower than the motorbike and is more problematic to drive in harsh terrain. If you add weather protection on the 4x4, that would be further incentive to get one (barring the bigger storage).
I wonder if being struck by lightning will be a possibility
I also like the motorcycle more than the 4x4...but just because I think it looks cooler lol. I think the motorcycle and 4x4 have the same speeds though according to the vehicle.xml file.
Very true. I don't know how I feel about these red & blue tiered zombies though. For some reason, that just sounds "out of place" for lack of better words.
I'm assuming this throwing attack works differently to how cops and mutated have an animation (which can be cancelled by hitting them) before the projectile spawns with a follow up animation?
faatal had said that being underground was considered as being inside when I asked about mining, so based on that I don't think you'd need to seal the entrance. At this point, I am going to guess that it'll work like sunlight does for plants... you have a radius around an opening that will be affected by storm damage, but otherwise you're fine if you're covered. But we'll see. In one way I like the idea that you have to design a base to protect against storms, but at the same time, there are some great bases people have made that wouldn't qualify for that. I'd hate to lose that level of flexibility when building bases.
Boss zombies are okay, but I would prefer having more zombies (including tiers) that you will see regularly. Having a boss zombie you rarely see (even if it might appear a couple of dozen times in a game, it's still rare compared to other zombies) wouldn't be as nice as a new zombie or tier of zombies you see all the time. I'd rather see things more often than something special only rarely. If we can have both, then that's of course the best option.
Just my opinion but I think just standing under any overhanging structure would be fine if it was just raining or even snowing, but for stuff like heat or cold I would think you would have to be fully indoors.
About how long would you say the damaging storm lasted? I assume you were on 1 hour days?
I haven't tested it yet, but according to my calculations a 50 min day should be roughly 60 mins irl.
There is code to check areas of blocks to determine if any location is an interior. It is not perfect, but it works well enough and is tolerant of holes in walls or even entire walls missing as you mainly need to have an area above you being solid.
We have no plans for seasons. Biomes will remain distinct.
Frostclaw is primarily a snow biome spawned zombie. Allan may have him in other spawn groups, but I don't know.
Enclosure size matters. I did a test a few weeks ago with 1 small wall and a fairly large roof. It stopped damage once the roof was big enough and I stood next to the wall.
It is basically the same, but is sequenced differently, so has new/changed code.
You would need to enter the biome and it would fade in.
Storms have some randomness to their duration, but are basically 2-4 game hours with the harder biomes being on the upper end, but none of that is final.
God I wish we had even more biomes
