    I stlll think there could be some special BM POI that could only be activated during bloodmoon, with some nice loot reward at the end, which would despawn in the morning. To reminisce some good old times with L4D :tickled_pink:

    Any chance of making a soft level cap instead of ■■■■■■■e? I'm talking about a way to mix "pushing your envelope" with a limited gradual respecification ability. I think it could be a thing, because early game requires a set of skills that is quite different from late game. Let's say, early on...

    I've been watching this discussion about using vs gimping vehicles to escape horde night, and it got me thinking that some things about riding/driving vehicles are a bit funny and unintuitive the way they are now. For instance, motorcycling is way more dangerous compared to driving a car in...

    Someone mentioned something about ambient occlusion earlier. I was just wondering, how is it now going to be with underground and unlit interiors? I think since the first alpha I played (a13, I think) underground was affected by daylight. Even if I had a long, twisting tunnel or a completely...

    BTW, I was just curious about the blunderbuss. Is there any particular reason why it forces to reload immediately after firing THE shot? I'm asking because I read somewhere that it used to be a routine cavalry tactic to carry two pistols, and fire each one only once just before charging into the...

    I'd say no collision for anything other than secondary action of construction tool (shoot-through, walk-through, fall-through, hit-through). So, with construction tool LMB would hit right through, and RMB upgrade. All other weapons would just hit/shoot through. So definitely no instant defenses...

    I think the biggest issue with lack of brass tells more about the players' mind sets than about game mechanics. We as consumers are so used to get everything we want, as much as we want, and immediately when we want, preferably cheap if not free. One of the biggest appeals to me in 7d2d is the...

    No. They are purely conceptual, so they have no collision detection (other than detecting the ray cast of the construction tool). That means you'd have to climb on a scaffold to place them on top of each other, just like you would with frames. Well, with the exception that you can walk on...

    That's exactly what I was thinking. I believe it should work quite nicely with the new shape selector. Surely, there's still the issue of what happens with unbuilt plan blocks left floating around the world. Perhaps they might be automatically deleted at logout, or after some days have passed...

    Hi! Sorry I'm a bit late, but is it still possible to join the discussion about frames vs grace? How about replacing all frames with generic plan blocks? I'm talking about non-tangible, semi-transparent blueprint blocks, which you can choose in the shape menu and place them on existing tangible...

    About the rotation and key bindings... It would already be great if shift-LMB iterated the orientations list backwards. I think there's no need to go Blender and bind X, Y and Z to choose rotation axis...es? Axes? Whatever. Just ctrl-LMB to iterate through X, Y, Z would do the trick. That way...

    Is there also going to be a shape picker, similar to paint brush texture picker or the existing placement rotation picker, so we can quickly and easily copy existing shapes with orientation?

    Yesterday, to my utmost dismay, I noticed that placing a block of bulletproof glass above the solar array pivot point renders the whole contraption totally and completely powerless. I was utterly flabbergasted, since the very description of glass block says "Glass is a wonderful invention that...

    External fuel tanks for generators

    My problem is this: I have a lot of electric defences in my base, but even after wiring all high power consumption devices behind motion detectors, I have to keep refueling the generators every day or so, because they have such small fuel capacity. If don't log in to the game for a day or two to...
