I don't like mining either and one tip I have is for the settings. Turn up 'player block damage' to 300%. Makes all mining 3x faster. 

Why are you playing nightmare/insane/permadeath if you don't enjoy the early game struggle to get set up? That's an honest question. That's how I play the game and I love the struggle early game. I can't imagine why you'd play with that ruleset otherwise. You have to come up with more inventive...

I question how much the OP has messed with game settings (let alone custom rulesets or mods) if they think the blunderbus is useless and that the bow is all you need early game.  But I would like to see the game become more hardcore. It'd be great if the game's meta would still be constantly...

The iron bars are already kind of OP. Personally I would rather see their health halved over giving them more health. Or perhaps a better solution would be to skip the iron bars altogether and have only steel bars be in the game, but with the same health. So you get them later on and they cost...

In the last few alphas, heavy armor seemed to be left unused by many because of the penalties. Personally I wouldn't wear any of it before the steel armor set, if even that, since I usually would never spec into it because none of the previous heavy armor sets made sense to me from a min/max...

I would be shocked if it's intentional, in fact this is exactly the type of thing they generally nerf. One example being how holding the magnum used to intimidate the vending machines into giving better prices.  It's just an oversight in the code.  I know I've been able to do this for at least...

Here's a good strategy for killing them without much danger, at least if you see them first. Place a wood frame on the ground and upgrade it twice. Then jump-place another on top of that and upgrade that twice too. Then you're standing on top of a two high platform. Agro the animal and then kill...

I play 90 because I enjoy doing a little bit of everything every day. I like to get a quest or two done and collect building resources. I find a POI I have dreamt up interesting plans for and then work on it at night - clear out the rubble, get walls repaired, get things upgraded and modified to...

I think the gyro is by far the best vehicle. It's so much faster than everything else and the best bonus is that you don't have to get annoyed with running into something and grinding to a halt like with other vehicles. Motorcycle would be next as i like the speed/size/storage combo. 4x4 is good...

So what does change, any idea? Just zombie health/dps?

Why 'Boomers'? LBD is an older system than the most recent RPG style that was introduced in recent alphas. LBD is super old. I was a 90s/00s kid and LBD was more a part of the earliest RPGs than what has become the current industry standard - earning skill points to spend as you like. Not saying...

The old forest biome was much better than the current on in my opinion. It actually felt much more like a forest. The current forest biome should really just be considered to be a plains biome, there aren't nearly enough trees to call it a forest. Speaking of plains biomes, the old one was...

Personally I love the new food mechanic tweaks. It gives a lot of incentive and meaning to those first 10 days or so. The point I start getting bored in each world is when i start to run out of things that need to get done each day.

I don't think it makes the game any more grindy since it doesn't change how I play (not doing anything more often that usual) but it does make progression slower. Although too much in my opinion. It's not so much boredom that I experience but disappointment in the the good loot containers. If...

Personally I don't see the greater availability of PMW as being an oversight but a balancing measure to offset the food drain. Before this alpha the efficient digestion mechanic did not have much benefit. PMW and red tea have some actual benefit now and I think the only way it's really...
