Yeah, when I saw the say it was a bug I had to resist the urge to post "Bug, huh? Weird, I remember when it was brought up as a new feature..."

Personally I agree. The new spike models look a lot better, especially the irons... I'm not even necessarily attached to the leg-splosions from A16. Hell, the new spikes do a hell of a lot of damage... but their HP is ass. Hence why I'm thinking they need a steel upgrade and the HP curve...

I don't remember seeing that, but even then it does not make a lot of sense. Zombies were a lot easier to beat prior to this alpha, so why add a "placeholder", much less spend the effort to add additional tiers to placeholders that were going to be removed? As has been pointed out earlier in...

Yeah, the single-wide comment isn't quite accurate. You end up going more vertical than anything else, with the single-wide horizontals serving to minimize the amount of stuff you can accidentally collapse until you find the "ceiling" as it were. First thing I ended up doing once I found the...

Yeah, there's no real work around other than being aware of the physics and changing your approach. Either mine from the surface down or if you're starting from bedrock the name of the game is to bore a single-wide tunnel up to the "top" of the gravel and then begin shaving it down to bedrock...

As far as I can tell, dye doesn't. Check the base damage on the item before you apply dye. Apply dye, check damage. Unchanged. I think the mod preview window isn't capable of understanding the difference between base damage and the damage bonus you get from perception... so say, if you have...

Note: I'm not being specific in my timeline for when changes were made since I don't remember exactly when. Been playing since A8, and after a while stuff kinda blends together. Eh, Lowf and I play on 2-hour days, so our hordes before this were pretty damn epic, given nighttime lasts quite a...

Crap, sorry, didn't mean to basically repeat myself. Posting from mobile between exams, it looked like it hadn't posted the first time. Though yeah, last game I played in A16 before classes started back up, I was rigging minibikes to act as yard illumination for horde night. Battery...

Yeah, I play female characters... mining makes it sound like I'm starring in a low budget BDSM porn flick. :p

Well aware that it was a wandering horde. At day 2, it's still a bit much.

Yeah, morning of day 2 (default difficulty settings), me and my buddy were getting ready to crack open a house when we got jumped by 9 dogs. That was a blast.

I think part of the problem discussing lights is what people mean by power. Power can be both brightness/intensity and throw distance. Given in real life the two are related, but in-game they aren't necessarily... ie. real life lights, the intensity drops off as a function of radius squared...

Thank God. I was worried this was a "Well, this is certainly *one* way around the multiple-adjacent texture bug" fix. - - - Updated - - - Eh, they all use the old coal texture now. With a mining helmet, they all looked distinctly different. In darker settings, you could still tell the...

The problem with the spotlights was never their brightness but their throw distance. They weren't any better than the mining helmet for illuminating distant objects.

Hah, our server ate its config over the weekend so we had to restart. Day 2 we're prepping to crack a story house in the desert, standing outside and figuring out alternate means of easy entry when we pop our first wandering horde. 9 dogs. It's a good thing I'd found a bunch of 9mm on day one...
