Thanks everyone for your comments. Just in case I've confused anyone, here's what I'm getting at. Screamers: I don't mind Screamers being the risk factor when it comes to generating too much heat, but I feel like the current versions are far too sensitive to heat. It makes doing anything that...

Way back when the Fun Pimps said that they had the philosophy of nowhere being safe for players. This philosophy is what led to zombies being able to dig underground to circumvent players who built their bases underground, and what led to zombies being able to swim to circumvent players who...

Okay. Just wanted to be sure. Interesting. Well, hopefully whoever had that answer will happen by this post.

Thanks very much for answering. So they're only supposed to have increased hearing during storms and no other time? I don't (and probably never will) play with feral sense on.

Please forgive me if this is something that's been answered in the past, but I've noticed that zombies seem to have super hearing in 2.0. It used to be if you were a certain distance above or below the zombies (and Screamers) they wouldn't be able to hear you because you were either too high up...

When it comes to Forge Ahead I did confirm that you can get them to drop without points into Advanced Engineering, but it will be very slow going. Okay. Just wanted to be sure.

When you say "specced" are you referring to having put points into the other talent trees outside of the general tree, or did you put points into an armor talent? It just must be bad luck then, because I've been on this game since A18, am pretty familiar with it, and know where I should be...

You must have EXTREMELY good luck then. I play on a server with others and made the mistake of not investing into any of the armor talents. Got ready to do the Burnt Forest badge and realized that I could not meet the "Wear one non-primitive armor" requirement because I had 0 Armored Up books...

Good to know that loot and trader stages are separate and the two do not affect one another. So that is an alternative if one has the money to purchase them. I was able to do some focused testing on this and came away with this result. With 0 points in Advanced Engineering my drop rate for...

It may not be true in your experience, but it is true for my play experience. Forge Ahead magazines (just like the Southern Farming magazines) seem to have a lower than average drop rate when I play vs all the other magazines I've put points into to find. It is true that traders do eventually...

One of the things I was looking forward to in the 2.0 Update was the addition of the General Perks tree. I've always disliked that just to get to the things that allow for basic survival, (i.e cooking, farming, crafting workstations) a player was forced to put points into Strength (cooking)...

I can attest that this DID happen on day 1 because I play on the same server it happened on. Just because it's never happened to YOU doesn't mean it can't and did happen. Personally, I think it's time for Screamers to be reverted back to how they were before the update. I don't recall anybody...

Basically dealing with it by just dealing with it. lol. Like others have said it used to take a lot more to cause a Screamer to show up at a base, and I never even knew Screamers would show up while mining unless I was using an auger. Now it seems like if I even sneeze while at home base...

I wondered if it was RNG, but to have it still be an issue at level 50 on day 80, that's more than bad RNG that NO NG. lol. I even have problems with the vendors supplying them. I'll often have to visit multiple vendors just to find the one who's selling the 1-3 steel tool parts. They don't even...

Hmm. I wonder which level that kicks in at. If it's beyond 50 then I wonder what the point is. Wow and that's without the perk. It must be my character then because something is clearly wrong. I'll have to see how to go about resetting him on a multiplayer server.
