I think customers also lose perspective with games and games built on game engines. Unreal and Unity are great, they are meant to help small teams produce content or large teams produce epic content. The engine itself constrains you within the bounds of the capabilities of the engine. One cannot...

Oh cool, I guess you are one step ahead. LOL That's probably a good plan, water becomes trivial after a few days of scavenging trash in A20-.

Looking forward to Alpha 21.  It would be cool if we could collect rain in barrels and then fill oir glass jars with murky water from them. The cities are really cool now, hacking at RGW to make bigger ones though. Felt too small, but I am not lagging at all so maybe that's why I don't mind...

You also can just copy the player files from one saved game folder to another and continue playing the character. You just need to redeploy a sleeping bag/rebuild base and gather new supplies that aren't already on the character. We avoid this during testing, as it could introduce weird errors...

I was trying to think this through and I had similar thought process. I can build a small base, build fires and place torches around and get a pretty steady stream of zombies coming to me for non-stopish killing = Tons and Tons of XP I can build a small base, start chopping trees and mining...

If zombies were running around everywhere (Feral/Radiated/Blood Moon/Night time) outside of a normal daylight setting....... 1) Piano wire up at neck level everywhere near my home 2) Headless zombies laying in piles around the property 3) Headless me laying there if I don't watch where I am...

Why? A) Make a base for your extra stuff (storage) and a place to cook/forge/craft during downtime (doesn't have to be big or elaborate) B) Make a base for your sleeping bag so you have a place to spawn on when you die (can be the roof of a POI, just as long as it won't be destroyed/zombies...

More specifically, a X by Y grid of values is created (4096, 8192, etc.) The value of each of the the positions in the grid is between 0 and 1.1. It assigned the Biome in the config based on the ranges set and the values in the grid. If you assigned 5% of the values to Snow, there is a 5%...

Not a bad idea. Insurgency does this with supply points and this allows the server operator to set the number of supply points the CPU AI bots have. Turn it up too much and you get constantly RPG'd by every bot. turn it down too low and they all have small clipped rifles or pistols and aren't...

Maybe starting with some points to pre-customize your character? I.E. I am RP'ing the Chef from the navy ship in the movie "Under Siege".... I already know how to make bacon and eggs and I have Crushing Blows down to level 2 already when I wake up naked and left to die in a zombie apocalypse world.

I do like the fact that I only have as much energy/stamina as I am fed. This makes eating before you are about to die something I think about. It also seems natural that I would get tired faster if I was hungry. The tweaks to help early game until you get a couple perks sounds good.

I guess in 7DaystoDie land it means that, but I was taking it as a literal statement outside of just this game. Playing with a MOD since like 1993 meant running an executable that alters the game flow/logic rather than using a level editor to create a new level which wasn't considered a MOD...

Even if one has never hunted before... Most Elk give you a ♥♥♥♥ ton of meat, even if you butcher it all wrong. Elk hang out in herds. Once you find one, you should find a group of several. Deer are usually in smaller groups, but in groups. I am not sure about wild boar, but when one butchers...

I guess that's a solution. Ban players on PVE servers who use glitch mechanics to grief other players.

Yes, I edited some values in the random gen XML. Playing with a mod has a different meaning though, technically. Otherwise, editing the server.xml would be considered "playing with a mod".
