PC V2.0 Storms Brewing Dev Diary

Just be aware that this will not change the order in which you progress with traders. For example, if you set it so that the snow is the second in line, when you finish with Rekt, you'll have to travel through the snow to get to the burnt where Jen is. Which means if you have biome progression turned on, it might be a difficult journey.

I gave this some thought, and I'll probably set it up so that snow->forest->burnt->desert->wasteland. So progressing to the snow biome will eventually require backtracking, but by the time you're ready for the snow biome you'll likely have a faster vehicle...so not really a issue.

But doing it in that order prevents you from having to skip through any biomes if progression is turned on.

I started a new game yesterday and doing it a bit different.

Perception, which I have never really played as I always do agility.

7k world with line biome layout. Forest 7% at bottom. Burnt forest about 12% and next 3 in the 20% range in progression order. Mountains at 15%, but hills higher to compensate. Forest has no towns, just a trader and a lot of wilderness POIs. It was still enough to do the 10 quests to get my bicycle by day 5. Base on top of a Red Mesa next to the trader and I never cleared it. Starting day 6 and after horde night I will be heading to the burnt forest which has a good sized town in the middle.
 
They are a bit higher than I expected them to be, but they are totally optional. And considering I was originally gifted a copy of the game back in the day that got me into it and I've got over 3k hours now, that ain't so bad for how much enjoyment I've gotten from the game. I've bought probably 2-3 copies to gift friends or give away, so even buying all the armor DLCs I've only spent maybe $60 on this game. I paid more than that for Starfield and only got like 8 hours of time out of that game before I just couldn't make myself launch it anymore. Lol.

I tweak my rwgmixer to always place Red Mesa in the desert. I absolutely love that POI and use it as a base or safehouse in nearly every game.

No. They said there isn't room to have all in Navesgane.

I mean if the map is more dense due to that. I see that as a win! More to explore and makes the world feel more.. I guess. Alive

Even then they could expand it. There's so many areas I can look at and go.
"Yeah a town can be here"

Like around spillway lake
Or combine the wasteland city's together to make a dense super city.

I went ahead and purchase one of the sets for a similar reason. I got the game on sale for around $5 I believe and already put in 4.5k hours. So paying $7 for a DLC was not an issue as I looked at it more as supporting a game developer that has given me so many hours of enjoyment over the years.
