It's supposed to be a mutually beneficial relationship built on trust. Regardless of the original mistake, the IP was not public domain, nor did it belong to the streamer simply because they received access in error. I look at it somewhat like losing my wallet. Someone finds it, and I ask for...

We live in an age where every public mistake quickly becomes fuel for social media exploitation. In my view, there were two separate mistakes here. First, the wrong game version was provided to a streamer. Second, the streamer chose to exploit that mistake. The first mistake was an operational...

TFP release on Mondays so the office is staffed to address critical bugs and issue hot fixes if needed. Obviously, "everyone" getting the release on a Friday is a risk that needs mitigation. Just consider the player backlash, if a critical bug appeared and players could not play on the weekend...

I find my problem with dart traps is the grind for crafting dart ammo, as you cant loot it anywhere and the resources are better used for Iron and steel. FWIW, It appeared to me that the Dart Trap that lost its trigger plate continued to fire with no target.

I tend to agree, the forge is my first benchmark in game. Rather than RNGing a Cooking Pot, I tend to put more effort into those first 5 Forge Ahead magazines to guarantee a cooking pot and set myself a firm foundation for early game. I won't turn down a Cooking Pot if I find one, but it can...

Agreed. However, the insulation mods and undergarments just adjust the temperature range at which debuffs occur. At level 4 Thermocore and advanced Insulation mods, I am not sure debuffs are easily achievved. Further, not sure I am a fan of 100% envirnmental protection beign achievable...

Kings Quest was the first PC games I purchased. For nostalgia's sake a shout-out to LucasArts for humor. The studio behind the Monkey Island franchise and Sam and Max hit the road. I still fire up Railroad Tycoon (the original0 on Dosbox every once in a while.

It's a sandbox just give no traders a chance. I like the Survival No Trader mod. Especially if you just want a small set of non-Trader centric quests or check out the standalone Grim Tales mod (It's bundled in the SNT mod).

Its appearance has always been rare for me. I do recall that occasionally it was a Trader reward choice. I also dimly recall it was often a reward choice for completing one of the Challenge quest lines.

The Augers traditional benefit was from the Miner 69er Book series completion bonus of "Chance to one shot any ore" due to more attacks per minute. Since that was removed, motorized tools are really only a benefit for those characters who have not invested in mining. Should it be re-balanced...

1 horde base and 1 regular base? I use and build combined bases. Or take over a POI for your horde base? Sometimes early game, a POI will do until resources are gathered and the final location is scouted. QFT

That cuts both ways, the mentality of having to either flame it or get out is tiring, and in the online world put forward significantly more often. Neither extreme provides an opportunity for reasoned discussion. Certainly, we are all allowed to have and express our opinions. The issue is not...

Sure thats fine. I already impose my own workarounds; either ignore them or mod them out. I would be more interested in discussion on... "A serial single NPC interaction and progression mechanic; that has so dominated and overshadowed the games default sand box play style to the games own...

Are Is Traders Joel just kind of.. useless? FTFY IMHO, A serial single NPC interaction and progression mechanic; that has so dominated and overshadowed the games default sand box play style to the games own detriment. Many players won't even consider looting a POI with out a quest. ;-)

That is a good question and it comes down to balance. Most players have a food and drink "floor", once they unlock those recipes they just mass produce them and forget about the rest. Once again the food system is a 60% proof of concept and has never been polished. Unfortunately, the water pool...
