    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    Madmole, i feel the one thing really missing in your perk system is a bit of sync between attributes. I think it's a missed opportunity to only tie the benefits to a subset of weapons instead of generally helping out. For example, perception gives headshot damage bonus across the board...

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    Gazz & Madmole, it is really not just a farming issue. It happens anytime you place a block flush with the ground. Now I agree it is not a must fix bug for 18 or even 19 for that matter, but I do not think it is appropriate either for the developers to react the way you have. It should be as...

    I swear, that even with all the improvements since then, if the game was only exactly what was in that video I would be in heaven. I wish some of those features hadn't been dropped.

    Madmole, I know this isn't in 18 and not expecting it, but is there a plan for if/when you will be fixing the directional sound. Right now zombies can be two floors away and outside, but sound like they spawned right behind you. It's probably my biggest QOL request because I definitely rely on...

    Madmole, ^ this is a perfectly acceptable response. I love the new boxes for something like my rooftop gardens, but I LOVED farming prior to 17 also. I like to have gardens where i do 3x15 plots of every plant type and I actually enjoyed the process of tilling, planting, fertilizing (to get...

    So what you're telling me is that I cannot plant crops in the ground, I can only plant into a box that I craft. Peoples complaints about simplification are valid. Why have different tier weapons? It's all about progression. Planting in soil was Tier 1, watering the soil, Tier 2, fertilizing...

    Just out of curiosity, is it remotely possible to just set their heads and arms to ragdoll mode while walking? Wouldn't that give the Z's a pretty good shambling approximation?

    If I remember, madmole one talked about relooking at the perks for INT. Why not add one that gives +X / rank to increase the random stats of a crafted item. This would really boster people wanting the INT tree and would play really well with dual specs.

    There's a pretty simple solution to that though. Make snow melt when you leave that biome. For the second part, don't let plants grow if they are not planted in their native biome. I know, I know, then people would complain that they would have to travel to a desert to get aloe and yucca...

    I love it, but I had thought they were removing level gates for A18? Why would I wait until level 50 to put dirt in a wooden box?

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    I feel from enough posts that we are confident that each perk has been balanced from a combat perspective across each ability. I believe what people are worried about is that they are not balanced for other game mechanics. Harvesting is a core game function and should be balanced in the same...

    Hey, TFP, I have a great idea for how to make alpha 17 the best. Make it just like this. The systems these guys talk about, and the gameplay would make the best alpha ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZCXqoKSQ5c

    I think TFP need to move a little beyond worring about how every mechanic is abused. No matter what you do, people will find a way to abuse it. I can light off a bunch of campfires and just farm xp forever with screamers, that doesn't mean I should remove XP from zombies. Someone away back...

    PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

    The point I feel is being made is that we want more interaction for progression. A17 has you basically killing zombies just to get better at everything. Quite a few of us preferred the learn by doing model and would love to see that brought back even if it is just for the attributes. Grinding...

    PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

    I would have to disagree completely with your statement. I thought it was pretty realistic and FANTASTIC. It did everything you all claim to want. It slows down end game progression, it allows customization, and gives players the freedom to play the game how they want. Your new system locks...
