Here's just a few examples of what I mean. 1) Fortify base. Requires that you clear a POI, and once clear build fortifications in specific points (doors, spikes, torches, etc) to prepare a POI for use by other people. 2) Lure Zombies Requires that you enter a POI and place demolition charges...

Padded armor is absolutely fantastic because it gives you some resist early game when you need it the most and because it gives you zero penalties to stamina or movement or noise. Leather armor in my opinion is awful because while it does Grant small amount of armor more than padded, it also...

I thought about this and thought that it could be combined into "Learn by Experience". As you fight with a club, you gain club XP. If you craft clubs, for yourself or others, you gain club XP. If you perk into clubs you gain club XP faster. And if you read a magazine, it grants a large amount...

This whole argument is dumb. Why? Because if 'Reality' is the goal, then can you imagine how the game would play? The entire inventory system would have to be modified from the top down. No more carrying engines, they'd be way too heavy for anyone to just stuff in a nebulous 'backpack' we don't...

Back in Alpha 20, I used to make elevated maze-like structures for zombies to path down. The idea behind them was that if I put down a loooooooong path with a whole bunch of turns, it would take the zombies a very long time to reach me. Meanwhile I would be at the end of the path with robotic...

Unity is offering devs a waiver if they switch to Unity's LevelPlay mediation platform - basically an ad system for mobile devices. There's a lot of speculation about this whole situation basically being a way to try to force mobile gaming devs to switch from other advertisers to using their...

I get that it's done for performance, but I want to know if there's any way to force the game to render objects further away despite the obvious performance impact. I'm so very, very, very, very tired of smashing into objects that didn't render until 15 feet away when I'm driving 10 feet per...

Increasing the size of stacks of items is a huge balance issue, I get it. But the best way to balance things? With Perks! Because it costs perk points as an investment it provides a reasonable reward for the investment. New Tree : Organization. (Governing Attribute : Intelligence) Increase...

In order to make the map more useful, a few requests. 1) Stickers. So you can mark things without needing to save a waypoint. Useful for things like when you find working vending machines, when you want to mark certain POIs to come back to later, resources you want to hop over to, etc. Also an...

Quick Question. With Spears now having a power attack instead of a throw, what will Spear Hunter 4 and 6 do? Also the final bonus? 4 Used to be increased range and projectile speed, 6 used to be slows targets when hit by thrown spears. And the final was fhrown spears do more damage to downed...

Exploding Arrows and Exploding Crossbow Bolts gain damage solely from the Archery perks, and NOT from Demolition Expert. There are no 'tiers' to arrows, only bows. There are different materials arrows are crafted out (Stone, Iron Steel) and the two 'special' arrows Flaming and Explosive. The...

As far as I understand it from what I've seen on the dev streams, the existing perk books are separate from the skill books. So you'll still have art of mining and the bonuses it grants, separate from the books which you loot to learn the actual pickaxe recipes. Likewise, you'll have the Ranger...

Is there a gallery showing off all the new art assets in 21? I fell asleep during the livestream and would like to see what I missed but quicker than it appeared during the stream.

Some ideas for some new mission types. 1) Defense. Hold off waves of zombies attacking a quest object, such as a noisy generator, fuel pump, or what have you. After all waves are completed the big loot goodie area opens. 2) Demolition. Zombies are infesting a location and you must demolish it...

Question - I seem to be misremembering something here, but when is the 20.7 patch going to be hitting? For some reason I vaguely recall mention during the dev diary that it was going to be coming out last thursday, so I must have misheard. I know it isn't a content patch and just to address...
