Any chance in the future that we could see variable layouts in POI’s?  I have seen many building layouts that have changed between alphas and it is exciting when the layouts are different than I was expecting in a familiar POI.  We already have variable bag locations so what if you could do the...

Found this accidentally during my last horde night. The new wall we built worked a little too well. It’s super easy to do on day 1 and seems exploitable.    https://youtu.be/69Vhq5e9qqM

Any chance there could ever be feral zombie rabbits? I can’t think of anything more terrifying at night.

But is crafting an item really more convenient?  Maybe items that don’t now require parts, but since parts have been added back in, it is a lot of work to gather the materials to craft weapons/tools/armor.  You can’t mine and sit in your base and craft these items. You have to be out there...

Can the devs share what the intentions are for looting vs crafting balance come final game release?   Since alpha 18, with the addition of parts to recipes and tier 6 being loot only, there seems to be a shift in preference to looting. This may be just testing and balancing new systems as part...

I think degradation would be huge plus for crafting and the new tiered loot. In every game I have played since alpha 18, crafting ends once I make a tier 5 or get that purple. I’m both excited and disappointed when this happens.  All those parts just accumulate in boxes and never get used. There...

You just need to remember to bring your Oh @%$*#!z Drops! :p Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 

I don’t think nerd poling is an issue, but I would love to see limits put in place for quests at POI’s. Perhaps The limited area that you have to stay within during an active quest could be treated like a land claim area and you are not permitted to build within that zone until the quest is...

I am recording my alpha 19 play sessions with friends and putting episodes on YouTube for fun.(working on my editing as I go)  If you are interested, feel free to check it out. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2YgRCm3_Hc1SmOLSK-8PG3HS-5arqch8

No need to make it that complicated. Just make item health/durability work like player health/stamina. Repairing a T6 will just reduce max durability, but item will always be T6 and have all it’s mods. Eventually, item durability will be too low and require replacement.

This is an improvement and moving in the right direction, but T5/T6 rarity only goes so far. The problem is that as soon as you loot your main T5/T6 weapon/gear, crafting that gear becomes irrelevant since that gear will last forever. I haven't crafted any of my main gear in A18 yet because...

In my A18 games so far, I have not been able to find an incentive to craft guns, tools, etc related to my spec. If I am a perception build, wanting to be able to craft a steel spear, I do quests and a lot of looting of various POI's to find the parts that I need. In each game so far, I end up...

I took this block back to my base and placed it on my claim block just for fun. I then started noticing a dramatic increase in loot bags dropped from zombies in close proximity. I did not research any loot perks.
