+1 Love doing mundane old world tasks in the apocalypse like gardening and cooking. Definitely would like to see more but it looks like them adding recipes are a step in the right direction!

I think the Duke and his super mutant army should be a force that maybe tangles with you throughout game but becomes a conquest target at end level. Give him a whole city of casinos like New Vegas haha. And of course his army. Good time to throw some behemoths in there too.

I am right across from you, buddy! At the Pawn shop. I found that it makes a great early base setup with the bars already over the windows in front and an easy second floor to shutoff from the rest of the building. Survived up to Day 27 at this base so far and it's not showing signs of weakness yet.

I love the new item repair mechanics to be honest. Very nice QoL addition to be able to repair swiftly and bypass the crafting queue AND have the item actually go back into its proper place whether it be toolbelt, inventory, or what you're wearing. I never found item repair to be exciting, no...

I agree, the game seems to be in a healthy state.

I can't argue you there. I remember how long it would take me to find enough pieces for a purple magnum or sniper rfile. And once again like I said, we prob def agree on how too much is now governed by the perks. First time I got my iron pick in A17 I was so happy, then I realized I hit rock at...

Okay so does honey still work too? I notice the antibiotic not insta-curing later, but in the beginning when I was getting honey from stumps, I tried using it and it seemed to do the same thing. Maybe the effect went away on its own, or maybe the honey actually did remove it eventually.

Wow, so it looks like food poisoning works through the same states too. I think maybe if you ate one more raw yucca during the beating red stage, you might have died! Hmmmm... need to test this more.

Thank you! OMG I have a lot of animal fat just laying around. Time to make tallow. Steel is also very accessible for me now. I also notice even the regular steel arrows to be more of a dramatic upgrade from iron than the previous alphas. I used to just stick to those. I will watch my campfire...

A16: "Oh man, get out of here. Don't have time for this. Half of them are probably going to drop sham sandwiches anyway." A17: "OMG Horde! [stops Bike] Going to murder every last one of you!" (I even take out the vultures way high in the sky) Any other behavior changes from A16 to 17?

Ugh, why did I put up this thread then! I am enjoying that fact that I can still grow as a character through bartering. So I hope the xp doesn't get taken away. If nerfed, I hope not too much. Because like what others have said here, zombies is still the #1 way to go.

There are quite a few hordes that come through in A17. And with their improved AI, they tend to show up pretty good and get drawn to you. However, I totally understand what you're getting at. You want it more like Dying Light! I, too, love zombie hordes. I love going into the city and just see...

A16 really struggled with mid to end game content as well. On top of that, A16 became easy mode after Day 7. So I do find more to do in A17. The game went really flat leading up to A16, and this new alpha seems to have spiked the punch up a bit. Also I think you and I might value things a bit...

A lot of you seem to not know how the mechanics of how the new infection system works and frankly, I don't have all the facts either, just going on observations. From what I gather (and please let me know if I'm wrong), Infection has a chance to set in when your character gets the "something is...

Perception's Head shot skill is godly though. I have decapitated quite a few zombies just with an arrow to the head. I personally like perception as there's really no skill that gives a straight damage buff to ranged weapons. Also master looter and salvage is there. Good stuff!
