They made the change because water was trivial pretty early in the game.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where to adjust the volume of existing sounds? By this I mean, changing certain sounds triggered by events to have a different impact on detectability?

I apologize if someone already brought this up, but has anyone else noticed that they added a model for apiaries (man-made beehives)? Perhaps the current scarcity of honey in tree stumps is in preparation for making those apiaries something more than just a model. The fruit stand with the sign...

In my somewhat limited experience (haven't played with feral sense on, yet) stealth is doable, and becomes easier the more you invest in it. As with the majority of changes made over the course of the development of this game, you just have to re-learn how it works and adapt.

I was having similar problems until I remembered/was reminded to clear out the old files. Remembering to do that seems to be more critical with this alpha than it has in the past, causing all sorts of issues that can be seen as "bugs". The real bugs stick around even after clearing all the old...

Personally, I think that this argument is basically the same as the people complaining about the "insane hunger", etc. etc. Instead of adapting to the game they want the game to adapt to them. I will admit, when I first read about the farming changes I was concerned, but after playing with...

Not if it is the way they want to do things. . . it is their game after all, and thusly they have to make decisions that THEY are happy with, because there is no way they can please ALL of the 10's of thousands of people playing the game. That path would surely lead to madness.

The sounds don't bother me nearly as much as the fact that often times, if it is raining outdoors it is also raining INDOORS.

Yeah, lol! You could say that! Sometimes damn near the whole building would collapse just walking onto the second floor, other times nothing. It was great for getting books, but I wasn't sorry to see it go. I am at the point where I don't do T5 buildings at all unless I am bored or need a...

So, now that I have played a bit (two or three games, restarted for various reasons) I feel justified in putting in my two cents worth. First the positives: 1. Overall? I truly feel that TFP hit it out of the park with this release. 2. City and world gen are better than they have ever been...

So, because YOU don't agree with the play style you think the developers should remove it from the game? How would you like it if someone looked at YOUR play style and decided they didn't like some key element of it and the devs removed it?

For some reason this made me laugh so hard my kids came in to find out what was up. +1

While I can see the arguments on both sides of this debate, and agree with some of them to one degree or another. I think the real problem is the frequency of both "trap" rooms and trap floors, they both need to be balanced a bit IMHO. And while we are on the subject . . . in what world does...

Alpha 18, the wife and I had just come back from one of our "between-alpha" breaks. Horde night went exceptionally well. No base failures, just barely enough ammo. We cleaned up, did a little repair work, and headed home. Then for some god-forsaken reason we logged off . . . before 4 am . . ...

Are you running Compopack? I have noticed that a lot of the POI's for that have no regard for gamestage.
