I enjoyed reading the release notes for alpha 19 (recently posted here: https://7daystodie.com/a19-official-release-notes/ ) but there were a few things I have questions about. :) So, if anyone knows the answers to any of these, please share! :) So, would it be true to say that the game...

1) In a now-locked, 18 page thread on the steam forums here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/251570/discussions/0/2444839901098741365/ a vigorous discussion has been had about the anticipated game analytics being deployed in A19. The primary questions the community seems to want answered include...

I have always loved those decals, and the other newspaper decals, so I will add this question: Any plans to add more? I think it's a lovely bit of world-building.

I've been typing 'sg landclaimcount 99' just after dismissing my Noah note and noob quest when starting a new game, that works as well. So the "before loading the game" part isn't required. And the value seems to get saved in the save file, so you only ever have to do it once per game :)...

I was about to embark upon a retcon war with you, but.... not tonight. Hehe. :) Thanks for the laugh.

Fixed that for you (new lighting system yay!) and yeah, I should  try zombies walking at night some time. And by torchlight. Fun suggestions!

I would really like that, my current desktop background is essentially a burnt/snow boundary area. :) Will depend on my ability to tolerate the ambient noises, though, not sure if any changes have been made but some past alphas have included small, brief, but intollerable-anyway bits of noise...

Could we get an updated Biker zed with maybe half the vest torn off? Hmm...? :) Always reminded me of Khal Drogo or whatever his name was from game of thrones, the rapist-turned-love-interest (what an icky plotline!) but wow, that chest. I'm not usually super attracted to men, but there is...

If you think that is off-topic, here, you haven't been reading this thread too terribly long. 😛 My experience with 2 hour cycles and 10 day weeks has been good for me. I have not been sharing that game with any friends so I can't comment on co-op dynamics. Most of my other settings are vanilla...

Ah, but my default settings (in single player, not on my co-op server) are 120 minute cycles, 10th day hordes. :) Going slower almost isn't an option. Heh. On your second point, it seems then we are almost equivalent in how we do that bit, then. :)

:) Yay backstories! Those are all fun! I have tried on many occasions to make up backstories before play, and then stick to them during play, in 7 days to die. And for some reason, that hasn't worked well and I think it is related to my play style in that I tend to react very strongly and...

First of all, thank you for your story I really enjoyed it. Amnesia is, after all this time, still on my to-play list despite having been in my library, and my intense enjoyment of bits and pieces of the soundtrack. :) But I've read many such stories by people in regards to 7 days. And lived...

I wonder if anyone has extensively playtested making axes count as bladed weapons as well as mining weapons? I thought they did at one time, but maybe that was unbalanced because you could also use it instead of your hunting knife/machete etc. (edit: for harvesting) But yeah, the fire axe as...

My assumption is that's the new high-level club, the steel mace.

This is exactly correct. It also may help to bear in mind, however that even if/when Unity fixes it, such upgrades are not always trivial. Sometimes in order to upgrade Unity, you have to change many things  in your program, like Kerbal Space Program did on one occcasion. So, depending on the...
