[Previously] How would the campfire benefit you from temperature when temperature does nothing?

Huh? You're asking me how the game works now? I'm lost. I must not know what you're asking.

Campfires right now have no effect on a player without a snow biome's badge when it comes to the snow biome's weather. I realize the temperature system is either gone or inactive. I'm happy to move the suggestion to a Pimp Dream if that would be best.
 
@faatal Adding onto the new feature of the swarms spawning on occasion after stumps are harvested, would there be any chance for you guys to add a proper "bee swarm" that would spawn instead of the flies that the plague spitter releases?

It could have multiple uses, such as having bees swarming around stumps with unique hive models. Just a thought, not sure if it would be worth the time and resources though.

I mean you have to be right on them to see that they are flies.

You could even have them spawn occasionally from trees that are cut down. you could add custom hives onto pois, like underneath roofs and in attics.
 
True, but with this highly theoretical suggestion it could lay the groundwork for rudimentary bee keeping, with apiaries acting as work stations (mods already do this, so it's not impossible).

I just hope that poi bee hives could be a thing as a natural trap

  • Trees with hives that summon them
  • Ground hives
  • Wall hives
They can give you honey

I think what he said was intended to be kind of rhetorical or eye roll or whatever. He was pointing out that there isn't any temperature in the game now, so having campfires keep you warm doesn't make sense. Considering they said they may bring temperature back in the future, that could possibly change.

someone could create a mod, or if they are good an entire bee keeping outfit.

Holy crap that would be fun. the mod would be a helmet mod that removes or reduces the damage from the insect swarm.

The outfit could be light armor. boots for speed, hat for stamina refresh, body for reducing damage from insect swarms, and gloves for increasing the harvest rate for honey. Technically all of those could be turned into mods. Oh and the full set bonus, would increase the honey 5% rate up to 10% rate, so each quality would be 20%, 40%, etc.

I was not asking you anything. I was discussing how the game works now and you seemed to start talking about how you want it to work, which I am not interested in at this moment as we are trying to get stable out.

There is a chance for anything, but I would never hold my breath. Priorities.

Now that's some super useful info! I don't like desert and snow bordering each other either. Gonna have to try that out later!

Just be aware that this will not change the order in which you progress with traders. For example, if you set it so that the snow is the second in line, when you finish with Rekt, you'll have to travel through the snow to get to the burnt where Jen is. Which means if you have biome progression turned on, it might be a difficult journey.

Yeah Pimps.....bring the giant bee back too!! Those were kinda creepy in their own right.
 
Pretty much 2.0 is giving us the new zombie stage types, some RWG improvements, and some better performance.

These are good things

However the entire Biome Progression and Storm systems, these are zero's and add nothing into the game. I've played it now and watch numerous streams- the entire system is a half baked idea and I will once again look to the modding community to fix what is wrong with the game. For now, I am just going to turn these off.

Generally it's an okayish patch I suppose, but we waited an entire year for this. A little disappointed in the end.

Understood. Thanks for the clarification.

So it seems. He originally responded to a suggestion and I must have missed the change. No biggie.
 
The 2.0 performance changes are so good. I've got a 4090 so I typically didn't have performance issues anyway, but it seems like it runs tremendously better still. The zombie spawners seem to help too, since there aren't 45 zombies trying to mob you down at once in higher stage PoI
