I have no problem with the amount they communicate, really. I just hate that they have an official forums, yet don't post things here, instead posting it on social media that I refuse to use. But that's not specific to TFP. It applies to all developers, and has annoyed me for years. But I'm...

In my opinion, everything they say should be on the forums. Some of us don't use Twitch/X/insert social media garbage here. They have an official forums. Things they wish to communicate to the player base should be posted on those forums. Posting things on the steam page would also be...

Just as an FYI, I'm pretty sure Roland was using the programmer/Unix slang version of Grok, which basically means grasp/understand, not referring to the "AI". Which is actually what the AI is named after, but that's neither here nor there.

Okay, we're envisioning different things, then. In my mind, once you'd repaired a block, it was done with, and you could then proceed to destroy it and it wouldn't matter.

But it was awful, because you'd have to have it to make some shapes, and if you wanted to use them to build your base but didn't have a table saw yet, you couldn't. I much prefer being able to use whatever shape I want whenever I want. Maybe if it made somehow "better" shapes it might be worth...

Those weird things were what we call character. And there basically aren't rivers or lakes now, which is the suckiest thing (to me) about the current RWG.

Kind of. It would add something to make it more than just a clear with extra steps. It's not the best idea, it's just what popped into my head.

Presumably you'd have to deal with zombies while repairing, it wouldn't just be a completely empty POI with no sleepers. I don't know that it needs any extra special interactivity other than that. Maybe add a chance for doing the repairs to spawn some extra zombies due to the noise?

I was with you up until needing multiple tools. I'm not screwing up my hotbar with a bunch of random temporary tools in order to do a quest.

Gun. Blue gun. Gun with strap.

IzPrebuilt did a video on the old infinite world gen a couple weeks ago. Yeah, the cities are bad, and there were some hitches, but the rivers, lakes, and just the terrain in general were so much better and more interesting than it is now. While I started with A16, we still had interesting...

Calipers, people, calipers! That was what always sent me exploring back in A16, was the need to find the ■■■■ calipers. Granted, with quests resetting POIs I guess you wouldn't need to go searching for untouched loot, but maybe make it so they can't spawn during a quest/after a quest reset...

I'm certainly not opposed to the idea. Just not sure whether adding a quest with different bounds than a standard quest is within the scope of the sort of things TFP are likely to do at this point.

So different from the current "stay within bounds" of quests? Because that lets you go a handful of blocks outside of the actual POI area, enough to set up a basic defensive position.

You could still build a "base" just outside the bounds of the POI (which is probably what I would do.) Give me a couple in game hours to prepare, and I might do otherwise.
