    Yes there is the Boars and Corn house that has the super corn. Don't know of another location that has it. Very prized POI.

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    Well to be totally clear I was not the once originally complaining about ammo. The 30+ player PvP server I play seems to do a very good job attempting to balance resources and my small group seems to do pretty well managing ammo. I am not even saying the complaint about ammo is even valid, but...

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    If all you play is single player or coop, then yes it does not make any sense. If you are playing PvP then if you abandon your base through your escape tunnels then be prepared to come back to an empty crater where your multiple forges/workstations/crates you have spent weeks scavenging for...

    In his defense, even though he is having a tantrum about it, I believe his main issue was the availability of brass in multiplayer games. Not to take his side, but scavenging for brass in a single player game is much lower risk than say a PvP game. I know you already discussed potentially...

    PC That Other Week Madmole Went Away

    I also have a master's in computer science, and the 50 people in my department have them as well. None of them could design a "successful" game. Just because you can speak to the big O notation of sorting a linked list vs a binary tree does not mean you have good ideas. Simply means you...

    PC That Other Week Madmole Went Away

    I was never claiming you were disrespecting the devs and I fully get what you are saying even if I don't agree with it. All fair points. Your concern about arcade vs. survival and getting swayed one direction or another is absolutely valid. Problem is like you said, I play this game 100%...

    PC That Other Week Madmole Went Away

    I would not say it lacks direction at all. If they are guilty of anything it is being too transparent about their design methods. What core gameplay goals have they not achieved several releases ago? The amount of content and variety of crafting is staggering for a team this size. You can...

    Concerning the reported FPS drop with solar array. I think this just happened to me and may explain why it seems to be hit or miss. Or it may be totally unrelated. I am not in front of my game so forgive some the fuzzy details: These are on the same multiplayer server and I have not played...

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    Understand. How about this. Could you maybe throw in a higher dispersion of "abandonded" buildings in between the flood of POI buildings during world generation. I am not saying tons, but maybe one for every five POI? The amount of content is unbelievable, but sometimes it would be nice to...

    MM, any discussion about zombie spawn...well...predictability? In our experience you walk into a POI. In a few seconds it seems like a set number of zombies will ALWAYS spawn based on the POI itself. This is usually after we walk into the building. Along those same lines, in the early game...

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    Remember when zombies corpses not being lootable was the literal end of all mankind as we know it? Now everyone just accepts the new change and gets outraged about something else. I was not sure about the change, but I absolutely don't miss the zombie corpses now. Plenty of other containers...

    I don't get the concern either. Instead for 2 block walls just put four. It is not like they are intelligent. You know they are just going to run at you so it seems like the defense is just thicker walls. My guess is that these types of players don't actually want a safe base. They want a...

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    I get where you are coming from but could not disagree more. Without risk you don't have a game. By your standards putting together a piece of IKEA furniture would be a game. You are asking TFP to put in a stated, obvious countermeasure for a new zombie type so you can add it to your...

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    So you build your super automated base/zombie meat grinder. You can go grow corn in a garden while your super base wipes out all zombie threats the game throws at you requiring zero participation in the defense of your base at this point outside of reloading turrets and repairing the odd block...
