I've done a bit of searching on here (and online in general) but I think my case is a little too narrow to find easily. I'm trying to add the ability to repair a block that currently cannot be, and it's easy to do by directly editing the blocks.xml, but I would prefer to pull it out into a...

I run multiple dedis on a 2010-ish server with 8 cores and 32GB RAM. Games are on an SSD on SATAII. We get a little lag when multiple people go off into new areas, but otherwise we don't really have any problems with 4 players even on horde nights.

I wonder if this is related to the disappearing door that we have on a server I'm playing on. The door's there, casts a shadow, opens and closes, but if I look at facing it (as opposed to "edge on" from the side) I can't see it.

If the game engine's core can only handle a few biomes seems to be a restriction of the technology... was this a consequence of the new Unity engine? If so, seems like the upgrade had a price (among others that have also been pinned on the unity engine). I know it was a long port, but it makes...

Yeah that data is in 16.4 as well (same table) but it was disabled in code, not removed form xmls. It'd be kind of funny to have it back, but... :(

Something that just occurred to me that I'm not sure is still possible in a17, is that someplace (I think serverconfig.xml) mentions that animal AI takes up less resources than zombie AI. Many people like at least a portion of the zombies to be the slow, drooling, shambling type. What if a class...

I also loved Plains. It was my favorite biome as well, even though it had no "unique features" (something that could have been fixed). Would have been great to have that be the main biome where things like farms and Old West towns were located. While I did like the two separate tree biomes, I...

A locked door without a code can only be opened by the person who locked it. When you click and hold on the door, there is a number pad option, which lets you put in a codekey. If you assign it one, then you can give that key to anyone and they will be able to open it. Once they put the code in...

Bedrolls have worked like that for a while. They definitely worked like that in a16 because a friend of mine kept doing that to the rest of our team and we'd log in to a full house of hungry zombies because his bag was always someplace else. I never saw any comment that this behavior was going...

WebMD says it's definitely cancer. (Illness has been broken in A17 for a while, not sure what it's supposed to be doing but it ain't doing it...)

I like pre-17, but what I'd really like to see is that plus rogue zombies that are incredibly smart. This would also be a great bonus to Ferals, where they have a predator's cunning, but the normal Zs are mindless shamblers. This way you never quite know what you're going to get from them, but...

A grouping bonus should be small. I've played other games that have it and they've always been on the order of 5% or 10% per player, and those games have all capped at 5 or 6 players in a group (though not for balancing the exp bonus). A bonus of 90% seems absurdly high, and game breaking. That...

I vote that we be able to make more, and live with more assets! More crafting ftw!

Isn't burnt and wasteland "subbiomes" now? I thought the "main" biomes were just Snow, Forest, and Desert? And yes, I do think we should have kept at the least the "boring" plains. For all that it had no unique features, it was itself unique.

Generally you wouldn't put an unfinished feature into a public facing (like a public alpha) build. Even an E X P E R I M E N T A L one. Experimental (sorry E X P E R I M E N T A L) builds like this are usually used to take features that have been completed but not fully QA'd and throw them at...
