Is it more consistent with the rest of the game though? Let's consider the needs of the player and how most of those are solved in the first few days; shelter, food, weapons, vehicles, and healing.  Shelter can be sorted out within 5 minutes of spawning in. Grab a POI and break the stairs and...

I can't argue since I don't know what everyone learns in Arizona. That was something I was taught when I was maybe 7 or 8 in South Carolina though (granted, I grew up in an extremely poor and rural area so it's entirely probable that middle class and up people don't learn those kinds essential...

This is not how snow works. How much water you get from snow depends entirely on how compressed it is. For freshly dropped snow, sure, if you scoop up a handful you'll only get a few droplets of water out of that because you mostly scooped up air. However, even just compressing the snow by hand...

I agree, this is why my first post began by stating that the settings do not strictly make the game easier or harder, it just makes the game different. In some ways it can be easier but in other ways it is harder. All I set out to do was explain some of the ways it can be considered more...

1. Incorrect. You are only looking at one biased metric of an in game "cycle." Of course after 7 in game days you'll be ahead of a one hour day player who is also on day 7 as you've spent 14 human hours to do that compared to them having spent only 7. A more meaningful comparison is to look at...

I half agree/disagree with this. I think the balancing on most sliders is pretty genius in that they neither make the game strictly harder nor strictly easier they just change the game in some pretty radical ways.  Consider, you said longer days make the game easier because you have more time...

To clear up settings, I change them each world to try new things. I always play 1 hour days, my first couple of playthroughs were just warrior, the linked one is survivalist. I've done some worlds at 100% exp, 150%, and the latest at 200%. Feral sense always on. Everything else was default...

Everyone I've spoken to on twitch has had the same issue of too much ammo early game - whether or not they are rushing quests. But for a few examples, I'm on my 4th run of the alpha and here is my day 2; I have 200 shotgun shells, 300 9mm, and over 100 7.62. Here's a random youtube from a...

It could be taken a step farther in a different direction and make the pipe pistol use .44 which would allow the damage on it to be buffed pretty substantially as it'd be balanced out by the relative rarity/cost of the ammo type early game. Then another popular suggestion that @Gazz actually...

Oh hey it's pocket from stream! *waves* We got lucky again tonight then XD New world and at the end of day 5, again using only guns (and sparingly using explosives, maybe 10 molotovs in 5 days?), we're sitting on 300+ shotgun shells, 400+ 7.62, and 1000+ 9mm. That's on survivalist with feral...

Updated crack a book looks awesome, and the idea to make it be basically just 3 rooms of huge horde like fights is really interesting. But yeah, the loot is abysmal. So few book shelves or so few crack a book boxes which is the main reason to do a tier 5 crack a book. It feels like a huge waste...

I've been told it's a better barter thing. I have 0 points in the skill and I had 9 traders unlocked that I checked every single reset. I think I had all 9 found by day 30 or so too. That's a looooooot of tier 0 basic secret stashes I saw and not a single crucible or schematic until day 57...

I've put 60 hours into a world in alpha 20 so far as an agility main build and focused heavily on bows because I like them and they were buffed so it sounded fun. My bow ended up getting outpaced by weapons I hadn't invested point into, but not for the reasons you might think - it was because I...

I'd like to recant my previous comment against farms. After using them for about ~15 hours in game, I actually like them much more. I'm big enough to admit when I was wrong.  The math for new farms is in the player's favor enough that they are definitely still worth using. Level 1 LOTL yields...

It seems like there may be some bug in ammo drops in a20. I thought I was getting a lot of ammo, but I read MadMole's post where he said it was impossible to use only guns as ammo is too rare now and that zombie loot bags drop roughly 1 in 50 enemies. This was very different from what I have...
