I disliked the magazines when they were introduced. I'm used to them now, but I still can't say I like the mechanic. 

It's fun to hit them with a steel club special attack. Feels like baseball.

I'm a buider/crafter/quester. I play SP with *mostly* vanilla settings. I use some QoL mods to help with building.  I enjoy A21. It finally solved some issues I had with 7D2D for a long time.  Having said that, I have to agree with the OP. I have crates upon crates of various components that I...

The solar cell probability to appear is set to a really low value - like 0.2 or something. Frankly, I upped mine to 1 and set quality to 6 only :)  I really think they should be more frequent.

Both forge and workstation give you very little advantage early in A21. I built both as soon as I could only to discover that whatever I could make I had already looted or received as a quest reward. Forge used to grant you iron/steel tools, but this is no longer the case.

A21 plays differently in the beginning compared to prior alphas. It's easy to get infected or wounded, so you really need to be more careful and better prepared.  Antibiotics are quite rare during early stages, so your best bet is to go to easy forest areas and chop stumps for honey. Doing that...

They do prioritize doors over much weaker points. I had a fully upgraded door (20K) in a concrete wall (2x 5K), and they would beat up that poor door non-stop, given a chance.

I would welcome a way to use my large collection of various parts, but I'd rather not carry them with me on missions. Both armor and weapons get used heavily up during T5 quests and space is at premium as it is. Right now all we need a stack of repair kits. I do not want to replace it with three...

I was OK with the new farming mechanic for a while, but now that I've reached the end game, I am very much against it. My biggest issue - it doesn't evolve at all. I expect the food procurement to become easier and food to become more beneficial as the game stage progresses. As it stands right...

I played numerous T5 missions on nomad difficulty in a wasteland. I did die a couple of times, but I learned a few lessons there.  First of all, use a suppressed or a silent weapon whenever possible. Unsuppressed auto creates too much heat. Get parkour - well timed jumps will save you...

It's been that way for a very long time. If you run out of mobs on horde night, you restart the game and get them back.

I use auger for strip mining, as it is faster than a steel pickaxe. There is one catch though - you can only mine for so long before the screamers start showing up non-stop and you end up fighting more than mining. Sound can be quite annoying, too, but it's manageable.

I agree with the OP. As I suspected based on the release notes, the reduction would go too far. I did a quick comparison of loot.xml 20.0 vs 20.1 and it shows more than 50% reduction. I had a few yellow bag drops today and it was just sad. To folks talking about saving ammo by using melee and...

I have very few screamers in my base compared to A17 (my only point of reference). I'm on day 78 and have multiple forges running. I also noticed that using power tools and machine guns will bring more screamers and faster than used to.  For example, when doing strip mining, I have to stop after...

If you want an interesting horde night, you have to make it interesting. There are any number of designs that break AI pathing and make it boring. Try slowing them down instead and killing as many as possible - that makes for fun horde nights. Eats a lot of ammo though.
