That right there is the best argument in favor of bandits that I've yet seen.

Yeah, I figured it was a non-starter from a performance perspective. The thing that takes it right off my wishlist, though, is your second point there. In my head I was kind of conceptually locked onto the idea that a player would be inclined to duck into a POI to escape the effects of a storm...

POI spawn-ins.

I dunno. I think I'd prefer the POI waking up--not necessarily detecting the player--just waking up and moving around. Maybe even going straight into rage mode. Wild spawns out in the fog if I'm not in a POI are fine, but I def don't want more wild spawns while I'm in a POI. Not unless they...

Probably a performance concern, but I'd dig it if storms woke up sleepers within the same POI as the player. Even better if storms could straight up trigger spawns within the same POI.

The acceptable quality threshold for a mod is much lower than it is for the game's built-in code. I use a bunch of mods, and almost none of my favorite mods are up to TFP quality standards. And I mean exactly what I'm saying there. TFP is not a company that has impressed me with its devotion to...

We are in total agreement on the morality involved. I was just commenting on what the wording of the EULA is trying to achieve. There are cases where what a camera captures can be copyright infringement, though. It really depends upon whether the photograph \ video thus created is substantially...

The clause makes the mod their own copyrighted material, so that it falls under that limitation. It gives them recourse under international copyright law to go after any profits they've realized, as well as punitive damages. And redundancy is important. Just because one clause achieves a thing...

What a silly thing to say. Currently the game doesn't let two players access a single chest at the same time. If one player has a chest open then the other has to wait. This is a super basic feature so you've got to figure that TFP gave it a shot and noped out. It's the sort of thing that opens...

This precludes you from profiting off of your mods. I have no strong opinions about that. I'll donate money to a modder from time to time (when I find that I'm enjoying a mod that rises to a professional level of quality, which is rare as hell). But if someone wants to charge money for a mod...

Whenever I run across this urban legend (that twinkies don't go bad) it brings back this weird memory from my childhood. My mom and I were visiting family friends, and while poking around for something someone discovered an old dusty twinky box. Layers and layers of dust. Unopened. Their dad...

If you think about sections like this from an inverse perspective they start to make a lot of sense. Or, to put it another way, from the perspective of a company that has been friendly and very supportive of modding in general. The question becomes "are there any reasons for this type of...

If they were an "all the time" effect in the burnt forest I would agree. Instead they are part of a "you are in a storm, find shelter or die effect", so it seems to me they're rather appropriate. ofc that all depends upon what the in game experience actually is. If storms are constant and we...

In order: Daishong Tower - my favorite long-slog poi, and my favorite base conversion to date Minotaur Theater - brutal, fun, and quick Grover High Honorable Mentions: Wright Residence O'Malley's Oats (my first successful long term base conversion)

It's straight up a good thing. If I'm in a poi then I'm looking to kill zombies. Girl gunna run over and scream up a few hordes of zombies? Way to threaten me with a good time.
