When I try to use the game's creative modes I am at a big disadvantage because I'm left-handed.  I can't find any control mappings specifically for these modes so I assume that they rely on other action keys normally used for character menu, jump, etc.  In normal game mode I can remap the NUMPAD...

a19 thoughts: GOOD * More weapon variety. * More types of POIs. * Not needing to waste points on science just to make ammo. MIXED * Zombie falling animations are neat and add realism although it seems impossible to hit them while their in that state.  I've tried with multiple melee and...

So the forest biome appears to be missing a little something: small stones.  Traveled throughout one extensively and couldn't find a single pebble..  As soon as I reach a different biome their all over the place as usual.  I'm hesitant to report as a bug because it seems so weird.  Anyone else...

Completely unimpressed with the graphics now - they look worse in every way.  Colors are completely cartoonish and unrealistic.  Everything looks grainy and many textures are just flat-out broken.  Frankly it almost looks like software rendering.  FPS is significantly reduced at all detail levels.

I just want to add my voice to the throng of people affected by junk turrets falling through surfaces in POIs.  For me its happened with almost every kind of tile that isn't ground.  It has happened with full-size concrete such as the ones making up a porch of an apartment tower or the "lip" off...

Exactly this. Want to get points? You need to level. How can you level the fastest? Kill zombies until you can make high quality iron tools because anything less breaks too quickly to be practical for leveling. They also break too quickly for serious base building. I'm only level 58 on my...

Same here. Ammo, B&E and transportation..everything else is pointless due to genius zombies who go around or jump over all traps including mines, float over x2 high barriers or (my favorite) stand next to active defenses and and beat them down without taking damage. I'd love to know how their...

Possible blunderbuss fixes: 1. Give it a good stun effect. 2. Let us use small stones in place of pellets for ammo. 3. Replace it with a net launcher.

Then why can't the devs just say this themselves and save a lot of moaning and hand-wringing in the forums? Are there concerns (perhaps valid) that its risky to allow too much much familiarity between the creators and the customers when important design elements are still in flux? If so then I...

I have private emails of about a dozen active game devs. I actually know a couple personally, one of whom works for a very well known (though perhaps not well respected) company, if that matters at all. They both tell me that they try to listen to the players as much as they can, but a big...

TFP may be active in the forums but most of what they post is hostility towards any criticism. I've rarely seen devs less interested in the opinions of their players and more dead-set on making changes in a vacuum. Case in point: the skill progression system. It was great, almost nobody ever...

Are all these a17 map names I'm seeing that sound semi-official actually randomly generated or did they add a bunch? I wonder because most of them seem at least as non-crazy as the better a16 RWGs.

* Expand and refine the item mod system starting with mods for vehicles. SUVs could have bigger engines that burn more gas; motorcycles and SUVs get tires that go faster on roads but don't climb as well (and the reverse); SUV gets a horn that plays Dixie; a marker smoke bomb rack for the gyro...

"Total rewrite"...LOL! Five years in alpha, six months at least between major updates and you really believe their gonna start over?

What we need is a new item, Scrap Steel, or just Steel, just like we already have scrap iron (i.e. Iron). It should be obtainable from logical sources in balanced and semi-realistic amounts. The main variables would be how much damage you do per hit and what tool you are using to harvest...
