Console [07/11] - Message from the Team - Progress update

getting rid of the invisible. 1 hit hill landmines. it's the only reason i stopped playing. even with maxed out raider armour,maxed heavy armour skill and 150 health there still one hit kills. the fact there invisible is verry unfair. seems lkke every map is half wasteland

Personally have still yet to find these invisible landmines. Don't get that wrong not saying others have not but just saying I have yet to find any that was invisible.

Anyway try the seed "outbreak" I didn't explore all the map but did explore all the way around on the main roads. The only wasteland from the main road is in the top left side of the map it starts at the edge of a town that maybe like 2 town blocks not much of the town at all. And goes out a little ways. The seed has 10 towns and a few crossroads. The rest of the map didn't have a bunch. Anyway the wasteland is easily avoidable in this seed just stay away from the north west part of the map. The road that leads into it from the city goes to a dead end anyway. But it is only like 300 or so blocks east to west and like 500 blocks north to south. It is very very little wasteland.

Maybe this update will help those that are having issues with the landmines and being able to see them and such. Also maybe this update will match PC when it comes to landmines and one hit will not kill you. But they are here to stay or at least for now they have not talked about taking them out.

 
Everyone who likes to test some very cool seeds with many town and traders (10 towns and 6 traders in average) should visit crackpot texas' YouTube channel. He tries out the best seeds and gives an overview how the seed looks like on the ingame map (PS4).

I play a seed shown by him called "Valencia".

Yeah ive seen some of his vids, does have some cool looking seeds. I think that valencia seed is mostly forest & lots of traders & towns if i remember right.

I'm nervous around the wasteland because all the problems others like you have reported about the land mines.

Ive never been killed by an invisible one either, at least i dont think, obviously i didnt see the sumbitch when it killed me, lol.

They are hard to see though, sure do blend in with the terrain of the wasteland. They sure make for good jumpscares. That & the dogs of course 🐕

 
I have started a new game with this seed on insane three days ago. I made it to day 17 without dying and wanted to continue playing yesterday but the game always freezes on the loading screen.

I had that kind of problem already in the past, tried to load other save games. One of them freezed too and the other one worked well for a few minutes and got freezed during the game. I tried to load the valencia seed once more but it remained frozen on the loading screen again.

When I had that kind of problem before I deleted the game from the SSD and downloaded it again - and it worked. I have to try today wether it helps to solve the problem again or not.

And yes, I spawned east of the hub city in the maple forest biome. After I climed on a house roof and stacked a bunch of wood frames I had a view over the map. Very much forest (maple AND pine), some snow in the nort, plains in the north-west and unfortunately wasteland in the far east.

I haven't found any traders yet but in the north of the hub city right where the plains and the pine forest go along each other is a small town with a crack-a-book, a shamway foods, a shotgun-messiah and a pop'n'pills.

Very nice seed.

 
is that a hubcap or a mine? ill just shoot it....nope it's neither just the ground looking weird. hey look it's the 30th dog I've seen in 5 minits. whappp. dead dog.

 
That is something I do see is the landmines being hard to see. But so is the dirt roads in the wasteland. Hopefully both get better with this update. Texture on PC does make the wasteland easier to deal with. So between this and hopefully they match the PC with it taking more then one landmine to kill you it will be better. Guess we will see.

Lol dogs, if they add the wolves then wouldn't worry so much about the dogs. The way things spawn is different then PC so maybe wolves will not be as big of deal on console. But just incase be prepared to get a dog pack and a wolf pack at the same time. Now that is fun let me tell ya.

 
Yeah wolves will suck im sure. Do they spawn a lot in pc? I dont think ive seen many on videos ive watched on youtube.

The only ones i saw were the dire wolves in that true survival mod. Are they in vanilla or just regular wolves?

They do spawn a bunch in vanilla on PC. With working 6 days a week and all I haven't played much games lately. When I do play it isn't that long and has mostly been console gaming because I can play down and play while I get to a sleep stage lol. But last I played was on a sub server and he was 100% vanilla. He adjusted the horde night spawning to make more show but other then that everything was set normal. I came across 6 wolves in the plains area I avoided them and went the other way and in the distance could see a dog pack so then turned again and right around the snow area seen a dire wolf.

Last time I played on my non server map had 2 wolf packs pop up and 1 dog pack and 2 dire wolves show. The first wolf pack I seen I ran because all I had was a bow no guns. As I was running another wolf pack spawned I kept running. Then a dog pack. I managed to get on a rock to build my stamina when they did the confused running around In Circles thing I jumped off and a dire wolf spawned. I managed to get on a roof top and then the other dire wolf spawned. I didn't have enough arrows to kill everything so finally gave up and jumped of roof and broke my leg and tried to run but died lol.

Does that answer your question? Lol

 
Really I think it depends on the biomes you get in the seed. I've had some maps where wolves were all over the place, and some where I was lucky to see two Alpha wolves on an entire playthrough.

The entity spawner and wandering horde spawner have their own randomizer too, so it's also just partly luck of the draw.

 
Not sure I would call it luck :)

I will say this though. I do like wolves better then dogs if I have enough ammo of any kind to kill them just for the simple fact at least you get meat from wolves lol.

 
I remember my best run on warrior (diffuculty level 4) about 9 months ago when I tried to pass day 100 without dying. On day 98 I entered the wasteland biome for the first time and a few seconds after crossing the biome border I hit such a landmine while riding my minibike - dead immidiately, 100 days survival tryout failed. You can't see those mines on that debris covered ground, especially not on the bike when you are moving quickly.

Although I was so close to my goal I didn't turn angry, I was just disappointed that it happened for a reason players do not have influence on.

when playing "one and done" you have to alter the way you play. I've gone over 250 on insane but i definitely stay out of the wastelands for the mines as well as the packs of dogs.

I wish they had a option for when you die to start back at level one with all perks gone. On single player you can just start a new game easily. On multiplayer it isn't so easy. I have made a few friends mad when I host and end up dead and like well that is it time for a new map.

A option to reset the character would help. Yeah you would still have all the stuff you crafted or looted or even built but you wouldn't have any skill points or anything else. Either a option in settings or a option when you die you can either respawn or reset. Then on multiplayer you can play dead is dead if you wish and not worry about others.

 
When I had that game running the last update just came out one month ago (September) and I didn't know about the landmines.

Dogs are no problem as long as you keep jumping and placing spikes while running backwards. But if those mines are totally new and nearly invisible you stand no chance on your first try.

 
i was walking because i already lost a bike ahd was going back to retrieve it. 3 times by invisible landmines. i haven't played cince January even deleted all my saves. i would of just advoided wastelands but treasure maps kept taking me there.

 
.............Does that answer your question? Lol

It sure does, lol. Man now im not looking forward to the wolves. At least like you said they give meat tho.

The dogs are bad enough. It looks like the vultures & snakes are more of just a pain than a challenge. Kinda like the bees i guess.

I wish they would leave the bees in & just add the vultures. The bees are really no challenge but are a good source of honey. The pain about them is first locating them, then trying to get them to come low enough to kill them.
