For practical purposes yes - we can work with cobblestone and upgrade later, absolutely, it's just that not having those other things available to us earlier on is just not as 'fun' for people who don't really have an interest in the going out and looting part of things. *Plus* - again we play...

lol what in the frasier crane 

Where does it 'officially' say that?  Also: We've played 'outside of their design paramaters' and never were surprised about it for almost 10 years.  They haven't been making their game as intended for 10 years?  The way this reads it almost sounds like you're replying to someone else, you're...

Again - it was never a problem. Even in the barebones early versions of it when I still played this game on an old office hand-me-down machine, we were able to host a dedicated server and play that way just fine it was never an issue.  I'll also point out: how do you respond to all these other...

When we move into a town, it looks like a wave of locusts washed over it and picked it clean afterward lol we loot everything we see.  I am seeing other people on this thread though mentioning they're not finding crafting books as a reasonable enough rate. I don't think it scales whether it's 1...

Been playing it that way for years man - we sometimes get some FPS drops on blood moon because the game spawns in some massive hordes, but it's so much fun when there's 2 dozen of us (or even more) all in the same base, that we all worked on, all pitch in on, and all built together. Every...

I just fundamentally disagree with this.  If you're playing by yourself - sure.  If you're playing with one or two people - sure.  But with a group of our size it's just not *possible* to sustain ourselves in the mid to late game like that which is why we specialize like we do.  In some of...

Also, for note: Not a fan of the changes to water.  Our rooftop is usually a place where we grow crops on our bases, and now it's got 11 dew collectors on it, and doing quests or going to different traders to get the water filters is another thing that isn't exactly 'fun' to keep up with the...

I just logged in to actually see what day & skill level everyone was at.  Still got my inventory.  0 skills now as if I've never read a magazine and I'm back at level 1.  Base is still there, inventory still there, and everything physical is still there but my character's skills and...

Why do you keep saying this?  We are *not* just reading all the magazines we come across, I'm streaming the game dude, we bring everything back to the base what is your deal with always insisting it must be something *we* are doing wrong? 

My group is still playing - still not liking this magazine thing.  We've halted work on the base for now as the highest tier item I can craft at this point is the damn workbench and literally none of us are reading any magazines at all, there's a whole 8 human beings out scouring for them and...

So far:  Everything in the update is great *EXCEPT* the magazine/book changes.  It just throws things off so weird for a group of more than 2 or 3 people trying to play this game at the same time, the world doesn't generate enough magazines even though the way it works now it seems like every...

What are ya talkin about dude - I've said in several comments now in the thread we play in specialized roles, which means some of them are still looting and scavenging, this is just how people in groups tend to play, especially if it's more than just 3-4 people we've always been doing "all the...

Looting and exploring were already part of the core gameplay in 7D2D.  That didn't need to change as it was - we still had to go out and loot *and* explore in order to get by. This is just turning the knob up on that dial more and I'm saying it's not wanted by most, and not needed by any. ...

I guess I just didn't play it with anyone who was bothered by how that was set up.
