A16 - STARVATION Mod for A16

Oh, no! You totally got wrong what I meant! What I was talking about is the result of making the blocks, all of them, not only dead bodies, drop resources with partial harvesting. That you can harvest MORE from a rare resource block by using WORSE tools, less skill. Example: you find Uranium Ore underground and instead of using your best pickaxe, instead you use a shovel first and switch to your pickaxe for your last hit, to almost double the outcome. So to get the absolutley most out of one dead body, you'd have to use this mechanic, and that's what I was call cheesing, nothing else.

Oh now you're saying you were talking about harvesting all blocks? Good try I don't buy it. My original reply was to Syphon's comment about harvesting chickens/rabbits for more feathers/meat. I mentioned how to get more meat by raising the blade skills. Then I mentioned that you can also raise blade skills by harvesting bodies. You then came in and called it cheesing, even mentioning meat. Clearly you were talking about harvesting zombie bodies was cheesy as opposed to only harvesting animal bodies. If you had given a better explanation of what you meant by cheesing back then and included this explanation about all blocks then I would've believed you. Too bad its already gone this route. Let me give you advice, don't accuse others of anything unless you have concrete evidence and are prepared to defend yourself. Cheesing is along the lines of exploits/cheating and gamers take those matters seriously.

PPanda0421, this is starting to look to me like you're trying for dear life to be as offended as possible by somone's opinion. I know best what I mean to say, thank you very much. Noticing you got my first post wrong, I was giving more details. Realizing how, what ever nice person you might be, we have some really incompatible ways of communication, I rather have you not play advocate to the people I accused personally by calling out their names and kindly ask them to come forward themselves instead. I'd prefer not to derail this forum thread anymore and if need be, would prefer you write a personal message.

Yes I agree our 'discussion' is not helpful to the forum. Your original post implied I was cheesing the game by harvesting zombie bodies. Perhaps that's not what you intended but in any case you should be careful on how you word things. I am ready to move on and I hope you are also.

Recently me and my friends try the NPC survivor farmer, I think there is issue with it.

Farmer not working and the first thing popup in the console when we interact with her is:

ArgumentException: Getting Control 2's position in a group with only 2 controls when doing Repaint Aboting

ArgumentException: Getting Control 0's position in a group with only 0 controls when doing Repaint Abotingve

Have any ideaabout it? Thank you

If you interact a 2nd time, the menu should popup

Speaking of NPCs. I recently built the Radio Tower and the NPCs that spawn nearby seem to be quite chaotic in their behavior.

They will ascend nearby ladders and often they would jump into my trap pit (full of spikes) and die.

Telling them to stand still doesn't seem to make them stay for long.

I try to deploy them as fast as possible and then disable the power feed for the tower so they don't screw around the base.

Oh and I will never forget that a**hole who spawned in my crops field and decided to have a walk straight through every plant and destroyed all in process.

Yes, menu it working well, but npc not do anything, we put every seed requested:

Low tier: plantedBlueberry3Harvest,AppleTree1 and blueberrySeed,appleSeed

but she does nothing, just standing, putted down 2 farm storage behinde her, fridge with 20 corn bread, actually she eats, sleeping, farting and burping haahhah good life but not working.

 

[Mortelentus]

Is the farm storage upgraded with ice? We still didnt change that.

And yes, choose carefully the place to have your tower. They are not the smartest people on earth

I built the Radio Tower on the roof and put aroud it 10x10x2 Wood frame to avoid them to go far and do their stupid things.

So need to be upgraded with ice? Damn I must do it, didn't know. Sorry for wasting time. Thank you

That's why I don't use them,bcz it's not toilet,it's my base.

Feel free to "mute" them, it's a simple xml edit. Don't ask me to change them though

 

[Syphon]

Does female farmer refuse to plant when she is stationed one level above the field? Does she need to be connected to the field (right next to it) ?

Looks like she refuses to work like this:

you have to upgrade the farm storage with snow

To mute the sounds you dont like, you need to make edits in the sound.xml file. Look for entries like <SoundDataNode name="fart_sound"> and edit to use new sound clips, lower the volume, or change however you wish.

 

[Syphon]

Thanks. That worked.

Another problem: I placed a refridgerator (top and bottom) with power source next to her storage box. I placed 5x meat stew, and 40x corn bread into it.

She's not eating any of that. But the farm station seems to be losing hp every hour.

I had the same problem as well when I accidently hit my smith trying see how many hitpoints he had. He went down to 40/50.

I had cornbread in my fridge but that didn't heal him. Later he went down to 35/50. I then placed grilled meat, boiled meat and meat stew in the fridge. Finally he started healing up by eating the grilled meat. I think that at certain hitpoint levels they only eat certain foods to heal up. The wiki has this list. Suggest you add all healing foods in the fridge. Eg. boiled egg, grilled/boiled meat.

A little off topic: That's a fridge configuration I haven't tried. So does 1 fridge power source actually power 2 fridges in your setup? Is the fridge power source also touching one of the fridges?

 

[Syphon]

^nah, it's just bottom fridge powered through cable (connected to fuel generator) and top one sitting on it. It is a regular fridge setup.

However, the farmer station keeps losing HP over time. Gotta have to try putting various food there.

Yes they stack. I had one fridge power unit powering 3 "tops". one ontop of the other and one to the side. Seems as long as you can make sure they are connected you can stack how ever name you need around the power unit.

From the wiki:

If a survivor is not hurt, or very close to full health, they will look for low tier food (cornBread, eggboiled, 1 unit each time)

If they are slightly hurt, they will look for medium tier food (cornBread, grilledMeat, boiledMeat, 2 units each time)

If they are badly hurt, they will look for high tier food (meatStew, vegetableStew, 5 units each time)
