Finite resources is the idea, yeah.  Can't just respawn PoIs with quests, come back a week later to loot the best stuff, or get unlimited resources from the traders. Well, it took me until day 45 or so to clear a medium sized town I started near.  I managed to get a motorcycle in the high 30s...

I've been doing a solo playthrough on difficulty five (Survivalist) without using traders, doing quests, or allowing loot respawn.  I'm on day 45 now and so far my only death has been to a pack of dogs on day 5.  But it seems like leveling is super slow at this point -- by the end of day 28 I...

Aye. Guess people would rather express their outrage over needing 5 meat for 1 piece of food (even though it's clearly because you harvest 5 times as much for the Huntsman to work)...multipage thread on that.

Am I the only one who specifically thought some stuff got worse from the start of A17 experimental to the end? Or are most people just concerned without complaining about A17 overall? >.>

Keep in mind that the current system allows you to do a headshot even if the zombies arms are swinging around wildly. If the blow came in from the side with proper hit detection it'd hit the zombie's arm instead and then we'd have people complaining about that. This cuts both ways.

TL;DR background: I started in A13 and have always preferred to focus on establishing my own base ASAP before going out and exploring the world. I was the Tortoise in the old "Tortoise and the Hare" challenge back in Alpha 14 where I proved the best way to get high quality loot was to...

Hey all. I can use OBS to record games like Starcraft 2 or Neverwinter Nights just fine. And I used to be able to record 7D2D just fine. But in A17E I'm just getting a black screen -- might be the Unity update or something else. Anyone had this problem or know of solutions?

Quality Joe is only an average increase of 100. Getting Scavenging to 81 has a far larger impact, especially with the ability to combine stuff.

Wandering into the wasteland is a choice you made :p That's not my complaint here. It was originally on Day 5/12/19/26/etc, then TFP decided that was too harsh for the first week and moved it back to just 12/19/26/etc. Then they swapped to their new spawn system and now you can get 2 Zombie...

Wow, sir. I scraped and begged and borrowed and managed to raise 1000 tokens before the Wrench disappeared on Day 4 and you sir, you have the temerity, the audacity, the sheer gall to insinuate I cheated. Sir, I am outraged. But seriously, no, I don't cheat. In Alpha 13 and 14, Day...

So...you're claiming Zombie Bears are normal at level 22ish? I had a pack of 12 dogs show up on Day 6. I figured nothing could be worse than that...until I got two Zombie Bears (and two Zombie Dogs) on Day 5...

I'm a mole in real life. I just wanted to get that out of the way -- I've been told I sometimes play "Hole Digging Simulator." In other words, I focus on base building and leveling up at the start of the game before going out and scavenging the world. For those on the forums a few years ago...

Here we go with a new playlist through Day 3 right now (also, I was kind of tired for the last video or two, sorry if I wasn't talking as much):

[ I'm still not even sure what you mean, but maybe I just am not able to distinguish it from the bow sound. I guess I'm not used to light sources mattering and the game being buggy, been a while since I played A16. Figured it was yet another glitch, as I mentioned. Well, see, THAT'S an...
