Perhaps. But I think nerfing the loot tables and smoothing them into a more "realistic apocalypse" curve makes more sense for the game. For instance: You don't get the random chance of a Q6 Baseball Bat on Day 4. You get a small, random chance of a Q1 or Q2 Baseball Bat on Day 28 (or...

I know clubs are probably arguably the "best" melee weapon; but I just don't like them. I did pick them in a shotgun playthrough; and loved the shotgun, but I just can't get into clubs. :( My favorite combo so far is steel fists and M-60. :D

I'll again repeat my caution against "realistic" food poisoning. You don't want realism here, folks. You can't 100% avoid food poisoning (even in "real life" Earth, it is a low risk in sanitary parts of the world, and a larger, constantly potentially life-threatening risk in unsanitary parts of...

Factorio: 1,902 7DtD: 489 Torchlight 2: 391 Path of Exile: 120 And a smattering of dozens or so hours in a bunch of other games. I lost track of my WoW /played after I became a bit embarrassed about it. ;) And I also have about 500 more in Factorio that was outside of the Steam release...

Until A19, when we now encounter the Hacker Zombie with an EMP pulse. He'll cut out all your engines (and also base defenses). ;)

I voted #3. I'm curious to see how the final food situation works with all the new recipes in, etc. Will the Food Poisoning chance be worth the tradeoff if I can get some pretty spiffy food buffs? :: shrug :: I feel like a spoilage mechanic will just increase the irritation factor for most...

I really need to look into that mod and a couple others now that I'm less terrified of the game in general. ;)

I assume they use the same "magic" that a pneumatic nailgun without a hose (or expended nails) uses. Again, full realism isn't that much fun in a game. Man...I really want to use this nailgun for this mine. :: takes 60 in-game minutes to load a gas generator, battery bank, compressor, hoses...

Meh, they are chronic conditions with no current cure. Most of the time it's under control. ;) My point though is that the game *IS* a game. So "realism" takes a bit of a backseat. I have slightly altered my playstyle but only to do one of two things (well I might sometimes do both): 1 -...

Here's a perspective for those that want a bit of "realism". My wife has Crohn's disease. I have Celiac disease (both severe GI issues). Celiac disease essentially (depending on severity) presents as significant, severe food poisoning whenever you eat a certain type of "gluten" (primarily from...

I contributed a vote (not that it really matters much) in the vote thread where it appears that nearly 80% of the respondents are in favor of junk turrets fitting in and remaining in game. ;) I think the main balancing should probably be that the junk turret can hit friendly players (like...

Correction: *Almost* Perfect. ;) I'd like the loot bag despawn timers to be tweaked to last until like 5am the morning after horde night (only triggered during a blood moon horde, of course). Yes, I know there is a gameplay decision as to whether to loot or stay in a safer spot. And I do...

  I felt the same way with early, non-perked junk turrets.   But when you get a few perks, Junk Turrets are actually pretty amazing. And when you can drop two, I can just stand behind my turrets while they take on a walking horde and pick off the really mean ones with a gun.   That said...

I like these ideas. I'm hoping you also have some sort of "categorized" loot balancing in the works. For instance, either eliminating or at least prioritizing toward certain loot tables based off of what you're looting. (I think I read previously something like "parts" or "broken" items being...

Ahhh...the good 'ol toilet pistol. Replace the firing pin and you're good to go! As far a RNG goes, I decided to play an INT build and try perked Junk Turrets; so of course, I didn't find even a Q1 Junk Turret until about day 15...but RNG is RNG. And after a couple playthroughs to mid-game...
