Like I said, I think they felt they needed to see to some changes - e.g. streamlining it by removing clutter - but only saw the pros and didn't see or didn't care about the cons. As for didn't see, I find that hard to imagine. As for didn't care, it's rather easy. They wouldn't be the first...

I did notice that, and from what I recall other people have too but didn't make a big fuss out of it. It kind of fell to the wayside among bigger issues like, "Where are my goddamn jars?", "Aarghh, dew collectors!", "I'm dying of thirst, water, I need water!",  and, of course, most important of...

All very true what you say. And there are benefits to the introduction of dew collectors, no doubt about that. Especially mid- to late game where you have established yourself and reap the rewards of your early efforts: You'ved move beyond the primitive methods of your early days, you've...

When it comes to meat - or food in general - I see no problem. It's a bit tight at the beginning, maybe even problematic, but once that's solved it stays solved. And from my experience it's not so problematic that I'd have to resort to sneaking up on every living thing with a bow and arrow...

What I find so absurd it is that it becomes a non-issue very early in the game. For my current playthrough that happened on day 3 or 4, where I knew that I'd have to go out of my way to make water become a problem again. Currently, on day 8, I have about 30 drinking water, 15 recipe drinks, 20...

I don't care about the glass jars. My immersion argument is based on two things: For one, gathering water from a body of water makes sense. It makes so much painfully obvious sense that the inability to do so sticks out like a sore thumb. Like I said, it's gamey, and the way TFP went about it...

Thanks for the replies. I've got some answers to my questions but I have to say I'm not sure they're good answers. They might be, and if I were less angry with TFP I would probably be able to see it otherwise, I guess. Symptomatic, as far as I'm concerned: Why can't you gather water from a body...

Thanks for your response, but to be honest with you, all I'm seeing is "presumably" and "likely". Yes, exactly what I mean.  I mean, I can accept changes. If they're so bad that they make me not want to play the game anymore I'd use mods - once I know the game is stable enough for mods to...

Valid reasons? I'd love to see the reasoning behind removing clothing but keeping cold and heat protection mods in the game, for which now there's no need whatsoever. And, speaking of which, I'd love to see the reasoning behind effectively removing cold and heat debuffs from the game...

You should have known me 20 years ago. Just kidding.  I'm not saying they're not working on the game, I'm saying they've lost touch. Or they've removed themselves from touch. How else to explain changes that no one ever asked for, solving problems that never seemed to be a problem to begin...

Not to be too negative because I think they've made a really good game there and they deserve credit for that. But this isn't really my issue. Or actually it is, in a way. Where did they say that? Some off-hand comment on a dev stream? Some response to some guy on reddit?  And, really, not to...

Not a fan of this change at all either, but what makes it worse for me is the lack of communication on TFP's part. Why did they do it? There's only speculation, maybe some vague hints here and there. Or maybe there isn't but they sure as @%$# don't say in the patchnotes or anywhere near them. I...

Hiding all night in a delapidated house on the very first night of my very first playthrough, scared @%$#less. My very first horde night where the horde just wrecked my "fortified" trailer and destroyed half my storage chests.  Building my first gyrocopter, fyling happily around, landing on...

I've built an all-in-one base with storage etc. on the second floor and with the ground floor basically being on big concrete block. The only access for zombies to this 'house' is up some stairs and across a tightrope (towards my third floor) where they constantly get pushed off by robotic...

Everybody knows this: In early game you go egg hunting, for your bacon & eggs. There's not a bird's nest you ignore (unless you're sick and tired and just want to go home). There's not a tree stump you pass up, for some quick wood and the chance for some honey. There's mailbox looting sprees...
