It's part of the multiplayer experience I suppose. You have a group of players and they can get on the server and play whenever they'd like. But quite often, players will come onto the server in singles or pairs and stay on until just before a horde night. Then when others come on, they have...

I freely admit to being as dumb as a post. Fine, whatever. I've just spent 10 minutes on the forum trying to confirm the status of blood kits in A18.1. The release notes say- Changed: Removed the blood draw kit is no longer used I'm no English major, but I do appreciate rudimentary use of...

Maybe it's just my monitor settings, but the pick list and the actual paints don't seem to match. And I really miss standard colors, like plain old black and white (yes, I know they aren't technically colors). :smile-new: I used to make range hoods and furnace hoods that looked like they...

You were lied to. "They" always lie about this.

Tablesaws: Good Lord people, it's the 'pocylips. 1. We're lucky we can find a tablesaw at all. 2. The devs were kind enough to let us run them using squirrels instead of establishing a power grid for them first. So I"m not gonna complain.

Yes, I've read it's a known issue.

"So it's definitely doable to build bases." I've only played through day 21, but I agree totally. In fact, I've almost completely stopped surrounding my base with spikes, especially wood spikes. Instead, I'm using the Z's pathing against them by making only one path for them to use. I build...

And a banana seat and highrise handlebar mods! My 1968 Schwinn Stingray was the bomb!

If you look closely, you will see that the sun rises in the SE. This may be a different planet or Earth's tilt has been severely changed possibly by aliens. Hey, just sayin.

Because it's kind of built into the game already: The folks who've been feeding you these quests finally reveal themselves and tell you that you've passed all their tests and invite you to their Utopian world. You find out it's all been a government experiment and you're now transported by a...

I don't know which situation is a bug, but ever since I started playing A17 (b197, b199 & b208), repairing a tool was instantaneous and bypassed the queue. I could be making hundreds of cobblestone and my stone axe would be repaired immediately. And there was much rejoicing in the castle...

And sometimes, you come across a businessman who was also a UFC fighter on weekends and won't go down no matter how many spiked club hits you land on him. Stupid death #who'scounting

My first week this time around consists of staying in an underground POI garage bunker at night. You know the kind. At the same time, I built a 5x5x6 hardened flagstone tower with a ramp leading up to the top level. I put in a "drawbridge" of three wood frames to get onto the tower's top. I...

In A16, I would mine all the way down to -57 and then start tunneling around at -40 to -57 to find veins. In my current game, my base was already at +40 ground level and there was not much hope of going down 90-some meters with a stone axe and shovel. Happily, I struck iron and lead at only...

I've reached lvl 52 and day 20 now. I love it! Thanks TFP. Yes, there are some bugs and I had to do some tweaking to get 30-60 FPS (I'm running 1920x1080, not bad). I like the bicycle so much I'll probably skip the minibike. Actually, I found A16 to be boring after you get to steel making.
