That stuff happens outside of my code, I only adjust an already existing system and probably at that point the buff increase/decreases matches the environment or the core temp adjustment. I doubt I can make it jump, the sound is annoying and maybe I can remove the cast of the sounds from the buffs instead. They should warn the player, but not be cast endlesssly.
Well, it's a game of numbers.
The modify value just applies a flat increase/decrease this applies the effect over time and isnt limited if the effect keeps on going. If the two did play together nicely some would have stayed on the flat increase, but they didnt. It will need some balancing, dont get me wrong to think I do not want it to be balanced, but I also need time to further test and balance it, since its clearly has an issue around the mark where the cold buff is applied.Well, it's a game of numbers.What i can assume:
1. Character is wet, but has warm clothes. Lets say 15% wet. It's -0.2 per second.
2. Lets say temperature tries to reach 60, because of warm clothes. While temperature is below 45, lets say the rate is 0.25 per second. Once it becomes above 45, the rate becomes 0.15 per second. Because of some game mechanics... maybe 45 is magical number for the game (or maybe when temperature gets close to the goal, rate lowers... but Fermi changed clothes and situation of stuck at 44-45 was still there, so i doubt that was the case).
Having above situation, it stuck at 44-45... and can move from there only if something happens that will change rate, like wet becomes above 25% or below 10% or you drink coffee etc.
If i'm right or at least somewhere near the truth, then that situation can be solved by changing some numbers. Just requires checks and tries.
I'm not saying that it's easy to do though
Or you can always come back to normal temp behavior.
BTW, i have no idea what is the purpose of changing it from modifyvalue to amount + rate. Does it really gives something special except problems? But after that change you have to make sure it works fine, right? Initiative is punishable
Yep that's what i'm trying to say. Right now there is a dead-end where you can't do anything.
I used to have it in A15 and I originally planned doing something like it for A16, but I decided not to. Making this suitable for vanilla play is no longer as easy as it was in the A15 version, not to mention its only a small fraction of the mod now compared to all other stuff I have done. Sadly the stuff I added is rather intertwined with the RWGmixer file and the POI files.
Probably should go with 60/18 (40/16, I should update that, since thats really hardcore in the current version). Then you should have enough time to buy what you need, level up during the day to at least 2, buy vendoneer 1 (so your stash gets restocked), buy more and then should have enough blocks and spikes to survive the first night.
It's totally fine to lower the difficulty even more than that, especially in the beginning, when you need to figure out mod specific recipes etc. you just need more time. Then once you're used to that stuff, you can increase difficulty. I did the same when starting out. Surviving the first night is a lot more difficult than the following few nights.
Basically yes, its supposed to be intense, but day 1 is harder because you start with nothing, once you establish yourself you should have a chance to advance. But like Katlima said its perfectly fine to scale down the difficulty as well, Gnamod zombies are a lot tougher and deal more damage on Nomad difficulty, so essentially its already on a higher level base line.
Eventually even Necropolis will become easy, takes a bit more effort to reach that level than the other versions of Gnamod.Necropolis is too easy haha!
Even living in a snow most of the time, even with that buggy wet-cold, Fermi still survived.
Me, living in a forest, didn't have any troubles at all.
Even with all those screamers (before last update), after separating base and forge/campfire, life has become rly easy for him.
I has separated my base, night hideout and blood moon hideout from the start... and had no problems at all.
Even with not rly good start, after getting a bike, he easily survived. Only couple of times almost died ))
After i started to use a bike, all worries are gone, nothing could kill me. On day 40 i have 240 hp and military armor. Plus all kinds of weapons = terminator.
I think bike has ruined all the challenge!
How about making bike sound to produce lots of heat, so wherever you drive with a bike, screamers will follow
Also, how about making a quest to give for example 1 skill point for killing 100 zombies... then fighting blood moon zeds with explosives/molotovs will be reasonable. Because now when i get no exp and no other rewards, i'm just hiding and doing nothing. If not the stream, Fermi would do that too i think.
I think real challenge will come with the system we discussed. Far from center means ♥♥♥♥ty + rare loot and weak zeds, and the closer to the center - the better loot and stronger zeds. And a main quest boss in the center.
Problem with player spawning is not rly a problem... if you spawn somewhere near center, you will not want to stay there because once zeds appear - you are dead. Player will need to run far away from the center on day 1 to survive...
Alpha 17 will come in 4 months or even more, right? Not sure is it worth to wait for it before doing changes...
I have to revise what I last replied. I started a new savegame because of the recent updates and *cough* got wiped *cough*. There's something off right now. There are a ton more zombies spawning during night right now, than they used to. Even with a good stock of bombs and molotovs you only got a pretty low chance of surviving night one. There used to be way fewer zombies before and there used to be small breaks between the waves. Now night one looks like the nights you usually only got past day 7 or even later.
Right now the best way to stay alive early game (and maybe the best strategy for every day) is focus on Sexual Tyranosaurus, beer/grain alcohol and running like a fool gathering zombies and then using bombs/molotovs/dynamite. Imo, solo players can't sustain current pressure fighting inside the base.
There is a small chance a seed produces an uneven center town or off center, if this happens the beacon POI may not appear and thus you are best to try a new seed. 99% of the seeds probably work, but sometimes they just wont. The beacon in MP should be easy to find, if it is not near where you spawn you have a bad seed.
