@faatal seems alot of people are pressuring TFP to release 2.6
i wanted to give my thought on its release real quick,
after looking at the update history notes to the build and the previous posts about all the bugs being fixed, to me it just seems like there are to many bugs you folks are having to be dealt with atm.
so i propose you guys holding off on 2.6 release for another month or so to ensure all the nasty bugs are squashed.
Instead make a concrete ROADMAP FOR 2.6 RELEASE in 2 months.

So, if we feel it is ready today or tomorrow, we should just sit on it for two months? No thanks.

@Grandpa Minion
You're afraid of losing players because of bugs... :)Make a test server, I'm looking forward to it, although of course the online numbers are lower than yours... :)

I would not play an experimental if I was worried about bugs.

I'm not sure if anyone here can help, but I was just thinking of something...

Where's the @#&^%^$@^ %* &&%^% *( (&%$# #%^ %^$#* & ^%#$# % %^$ **&%$ Update 2.6 Experimental?

Just a passing thought. 😁 @faatal ? Anything you know that you want to share?

Sure. 2+2=4 and 2.6 localization was updated yesterday, which I think they were waiting on.

There aren't many people who need this. You can enable it; why clutter the new game menu with unnecessary options?

Why crop the screen so much? Both the computer and console screens have the same aspect ratio as the game image. Why cut off two-thirds of the image at the edges, turning the gameplay video into a keyhole view?

We lowly console players do not have the option to enable it, so it would be really nice if they added it for us, which it seems that Faatal said that they will be.

Uh, yeah, someone else already commented and answered your second question about aspect ratio, but that is how YouTube Shorts/Reels look. It has nothing to do with anything really.

What does the "Have a Cookie" reaction mean?
Click to expand...
I have always viewed the "Have a Cookie" reaction as "You shared your opinion or statement. Good job. Whether anyone agrees or cares is unknown, but have a cookie anyway."
 
The cookie reaction is meant to be positive. It gives positive reputation when awarded. None of the reactions are meant to be used sarcastically though that won’t stop folks from doing so. None of them give negative reputation. The ones that are obviously positive give positive rep and the rest are neutral as far as rep is concerned.

From the context of posts I’ve seen with a cookie it always seemed like a sympathy prize.

Well, it's not a "LIKE". It's more of a... Relax, Take it easy, move on, kind of thing. Same result as a "face palm" or "knuckle rub". Your message doesn't get a point from that reaction emoji.\
Speaking about that, there's a few "cookie monsters" here and it gets me so... But I digress! 😁 (probably getting cookies for this one)

It means different things to different people, and can even mean different things to the same person in different situations. That's why it can be so confusing. I originally didn't use it because of that, but I gave in and use it now and then. There are basically 2 ways to look at it, though you could probably break it up further if you wanted. First, it can be similar to the saying "Would you like some cheese with your whine [wine]?" In other words, you are being dumb, so have a cookie. Or perhaps a less negative view of "Have fun with your opinions; I don't really care." The other way of looking at it is more of a reward reaction.... "That's a good point, so have a treat." I just recently got a cookie from a TFP staff member after I offered advice on a support post. I'm going to assume that was the positive view of a cookie. ;)

Really? Did that change with the new forum? I never see those numbers anymore, but I didn't remember it having any impact in the old forum. It was treated like a thumbs down before, IIRC.

@schwanz9000

Hello Mr Schwanz. Is that short for Schwanzon?

Anyway, I've discovered a bit of a problem. I'm assuming the despawning of quest zombies during quests is a way to mitigate quests getting stuck...whether it's from a final zombie that is so lost that it takes too long to find, or when trigger balls don't cause the final zombie to spawn.

Right now I'm doing my first ever full stealth playthrough, so I'm moving slower through quests. When a storm starts during a quest, it can prevent me from going outside to safety. Or with a POI like the Close Encounters Gun Range, where pretty much the whole thing is outside...I have to hunker down and wait for the storm to pass. My slower progression through the quest, combined with having to wait for the storm to pass, results in a lot of the remaining zombies simply timing out and the quest finishes on its own.

Yesterday I added an additional 24 game hour delay to sleepers being killed by the timeout, so that should be enough to take care of it and not break anything. That will probably not be in 2.6.

Off of the topic btw, I wondered, are we gonna need to feed the chicks with some stuff as we do with bees, to produce eggs ?

The official version doesn't and won't feature chicken coops, as has already been discussed in this thread. Therefore, you'll need to ask the developer of the mod that includes the chicken coop what to feed the chickens.

That's called a "Short" or "Reel" welcome to 2026 grandpa

It doesn't matter what it's called. What's the logic behind this pruning?
