    PC Do you like the A19 loot system?

    I think the sealed crates should at least contain Parts, so people with points in the appropriate perks can at least start collecting materials to make their own.

    PC Looting Progression Plan

    I voted 2.  I am hoping that the pipe weapons and such will help with the primitive stage, but I think it would make more sense to find more weapon and tool parts in safes and crates and such, so that people who want to craft the stuff they are specializing in would be able to do just that.  If...

    PC what is the one change in your gameplay A19 has started?

    It has changed so many things for me.  Mostly dietary.  Like I no longer eat supercorn, and I do eat candy.

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    Think about a base that's even a simple square tower with walls that are two layers thick.  If it gets damaged by an AoE type of thing like vulture or cop spit, the outside corner is easy to fix, but the inside corner that you can't see because it's covered up by other blocks is not so easy.

    PC Whats 1 think you like. And dislike about alpha 18/19

    I like the Desert Vulture.  It is amazing. I dislike that Crack a Books rarely have actual books in them anymore.  I feel like it's maybe 95% paper, 5% books/schematics/sticky notes now.

    PC Trader Personality Transplants

    I always assumed it was a chain, and that they have a recording of Trader Joel that they play at closing time.

    PC Alpha 19: are iron tools worth using?

    I maxed Salvage operations and I made a blue ratchet to replace my blue wrench, and it turned out that the wrench was better in literally every way except the ratchet's block damage was like 3 higher or something like that.  It wasn't worth the extra stamina to scrap something in the exact same...

    Apparently, eating one of those Health Bar candies will make it heal 2x faster.   I'm loving the candies.

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    I'll have to wait until I get home from work to play it, but I will be looking forward to it all day.

    PC Ammo consumption, crafting vs buying

    Playing single-player, I start out each horde night using up any explosives and molotovs I have (I like to wrench cars and craft molotovs early on), and then switch to using whatever 7.62s I have looted once those run out.   Then I switch to pistol or SMG until the end of the horde.   At the...

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    I have 930 hours in the game now, but I can still remember early on dying a dozen times in one day.  I'd die because I couldn't figure out how to melee properly with my club.  I'd die because I was encumbered and couldn't get away in time.  I'd bleed out because dogs.  I'd die because I stepped...

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    I have a brawler in a tabletop game with low Int and Cha, and part of her backstory is that she was dropped on her head in infancy.  Repeatedly.  Her mom was a klutz.  She's a total sweetheart, loves to help people, and is a hugger.  She frequently greets people with a hug.  And she has decent...

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    Indeed, but one of the things that sometimes makes WINE a pain is that not everything just automatically works with it perfectly, and sometimes you need to do complicated technical stuff to tweak it to work just right.  Proton automatically does the complicated tweaks for you, making it way...

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    I got the impression it was just fixing a bug where people magically stopped digesting food while in a vehicle.

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    When I had Windows 7, and Windows 10 was released as a free upgrade, I started hearing horror stories from friends whose computers got upgraded without their permission, and then subsequently bricked by mandatory updates, and I wasn't having that nonsense.  So I switched to Ubuntu (one of the...
