    PC Chunk reset question

    I'm playing on a multiplayer server with chunk reset set to 200 days (8.33 actual days).  I'm building a massive base that is too big to protect from chunk resets using a bedroll and land claim blocks.  If I just run a lap around the perimeter of my base every few days, will that ensure that the...

    Please move the light source in the RWG previewer to make mountains appear correctly.

    The location of the light source in the RWG previewer creates an optical illusion where mountains appear as sinkholes in the map viewer. To see what I'm talking about, take a screenshot of the map preview, open it in an image editor, and rotate it 180 degrees. An explanation of the phenomenon...

    Weird issue where player and zombie animations start playing 1/2 or 1/4 speed

    I have been getting a really annoying issue where my character animations (attack, reload, movement, etc.) as well as the zombie animations start playing at 1/2 or sometimes 1/4 speed.  This includes using the bicycle and minibike, which move at a fraction of their normal speed and suddenly...

    Please add an option to make player bags unlootable by others

    On PvE servers with no player killing, griefing can still occur when someone loots someone else's bag. Options should be that bags are lootable by the player only, the player and allies, or everyone.

    Player and zombie animations run at half or quarter speed

    https://pastebin.com/Z3uBsTu4 Summary: (A short description of the bug) While playing on a multiplayer server, after a random amount of time player and zombie animations seem like they are running at half or quarter speed.  It seems as if this happens after I've been in and out of containers...

    PC Alpha 21 Dev Diary

    On both Wayward Eko's and Guns, Nerds, and Steel's multiplayer streams, they were getting quality 3 and 4 end-game loot (comp xbows, steel clubs, etc.) as quest rewards before day 7.  Granted, they were playing efficiently, but that needs serious balancing.

    How about filter checkboxes at the top of the shapes menu for "shoot through" and "reach through"?  Check either of the boxes and it only shows you shapes with those qualities.

    Sorry, Khaine, that's my bad.  I was jumping in and didn't realize you were talking specifically about MP.

    PC What is the most useful item to loot in the first hour of the game?

    Wrench for me.  It's almost impossible to find mechanical parts in loot so you can't even craft one if you buy Salvage Operations.  Cooking pot second, although I typically get Advanced Engineering and make a forge within the first couple days.

    If they get the weighted looting odds right and folks reliably get enough of the books for the trees they've perked into, that should go a long way.  They could even add a slider in settings to increase or decrease the weight.  Ensuring that the traders always have a good supply of books would...

    PC A20 City Only Map Option?

    I think it would be great if the main quest line started you at the very edge of the map and led you eventually to a wasteland city at the map center.  When you complete the final quest, you can choose to disable a device and cause the bloodmoons to end.

    PC Are pipe machine guns too strong for their tier?

    The pipe machine gun definitely needs balancing.  Early game, the only real balance for it is that 7.62 ammo is relatively scarce, but it does so much damage that if you don't just spray and pray you can make it last.   Maybe a "jam" mechanic where there is a small chance every shot that the...

    PC Food, Loot and Balance

    I agree that the pipe machine gun is way OP compared to the other pipe weapons, which have small magazines and take FOREVER to reload.  It needs to be nerfed or at least made much more rare in the loot tables so we aren't finding them in the first week.
