    PC Food: Survival arcade vs Survival sim

    I'm a little late to this discussion, but I feel like the most elegant temporary solution for not making new players feel crushed by the need for food in the early game is to just make the first spawn have extra food cans, enough to last them a couple days with no risk of starving.  That way, if...

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    That is true, it is really nice having everything in one place so to speak. But this game doesn't take place in a suburban area, it's a sprawling wasteland with traders kilometers apart. Getting the "bad" traders would be less annoying if they were more common across the wasteland, but you...

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    Eeehhhh I'm not really a fan of this. I know they still sell everything but now you're gonna have players going "Ah ♥♥♥♥ I got the one with the seeds". I mean Rekt is only really going to be useful early game in that regard. I think alternatively you keep the specialization but generate a...

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    The magnum is good but it desperately needs a reload time buff. 9 times out of 10 you use the pistol anyway because of its versatility, ability to get you out of a jam (6 shots from a magnum isn't gonna save you from late game sleepers), and it can accept a silencer (stealth character loves...

    Sooo is the pistol category the only exception to the 3 tier rule? Does this one have 4?

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    An attack being weak doesn't justify a complete lack of telegraph, that's against the interest of good game design. It is incredibly frustrating for players to be robbed of resources (in this case HP) due to having absolutely no warning of an event. The zombie vulture is the antithesis of good...

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    Hey @madmole, I am liking the direction you guys are taking the game, except for one element that has been bugging me for a long time: Zombie Vultures. Not just because they are significantly less interesting than the giant hornets, but because they are (in their current state) bad for the...

    PC Some melee weapons need serious buffs

    Does every melee weapon need to perform just as well in every situation as the others? Raw DPS isn't everything. Knifes clearly aren't meant for crowds--but that's the whole point of the AGI build, to stealth around and eviscerate single targets. Knuckles have low damage, yes--but you're...

    PC Alpha 18 feedback and balancing thread

    Recent discovery I made, "Sprinting" while driving a vehicle consumes far, far more gas then just driving it normally. For about a 30% speed boost you consume about 5 times the gasoline, probably more. This is most likely a bug.

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    Instead of crafting pallets, every ore block you break has a (very small) chance of producing valuable nuggets (silver, gold, diamond). Say about 1% of every ore block you break now additionally grants about ~500-1000 dukes worth of nuggets. It would provide a small financial bonus when...

    PC Why is rebar concrete so much more expensive?

    Oh, is there actually a difference? I can't tell

    PC Why is rebar concrete so much more expensive?

    I can mix together 2 times the amount of concrete with the cement mixer directly, versus spending twice as much on the rebar version + the iron. It's literally the same thing, why is the rebar version completely inferior in cost?

    PC This is ridiculous Fun Pimps - Alpha 18

    To be fair, I have never had fun fighting a vulture. They serve no purpose in the game other than to be a complete nuisance. I miss the bees, they weren't completely silent and they had a hitbox that worked. Also "get good" is not an argument, if something sucks to fight then it sucks to...

    PC How would you balance the junk turret? Its OP when Placed.

    Oh please no, that would defeat the utility of the junk turret. I'd be willing to accept a cost increase of 3 to 5 but PLEASE don't make it forge only, that sounds like such a pain to deal with.
