A16 - STARVATION Mod for A16

sooo I have tried the way where I download the mod then click on Test Mod Sync....task manager shows that 7D2D mod launcher using some down speed but small amount..........I want to be honest...........my hands are tied and I dont know what to do

In the Mod Launcher, you can check the Direct Download, and see if that improves your download speed. Some countries appear to be hard hit for github downloads.

 
..... Standing still in combat without a spear is dangerous.

Note to self: Randomize Zombie swing delay in transmorgifier at some point if folks says the mod is getting too easy... :smile-new:

the mod is getting too easy :highly_amused: :highly_amused: :bump2:

 
The mod is 700 megs compressed. It takes a very long time to download. It might be best if you do a direct download and install it that way if you cannot get the launcher to maintain a connection long enough to finish the download then start the game up.

 
is it going to stay like this for a long time? I know it is downloading but slow speed my task manager shows a very small speed (0.2mbps) I will leave it for 1 more hour and see what happens ( it has been on for 1 hour 30 mins)...till the next update/patch for the mod will this problem be fixed? I live in middle east so I can help you with the info of the countries having problem with it. @sphereii there is nothing showing the download speed as it is still on "test mod sync" and I feel it had downloaded much soooo I will be making cancelling the sync my last resort

Unfortunately, the API doesn't have a speed or progress indicator available. It's because it does not know how much it needs to download. We have noticed some Europeans having really slow speeds through the download.

I believe one person went to a local hot spot, that was with another internet provider, and they were able to download much faster.

You don't chop trees... You harvest them with your hands, as described here (WARNING: wiki is work in progress).

Great to hear. Enjoy the mod.

 
I was told I should come on here and voice some of the issues that are making starvation not as fun for me as it was in a15. And to the point that I am not wanting to play it like I did then. There are so many things I do love about this mod and I hadn't came and voiced these others things as I didn't want to seem negative to people that are working so hard on a mod.

So lets get down to business.

1. The flys - too often, too loud, too long of a buff. Was very cool the first time and then after that super annoying. As a streamer that sound isn't something I want my viewers having to deal with much either. I think the bees being added was enough buzzing. If they are kept maybe drop the sound some, make it way more rare, and reduce the length, and add some bug spray to keep it from happening at all. Something craftable or lootable in the first week of play.

2. Stealth/Sneaking. Seeming nearly impossible to keep from being found by the zombies in the day time. Plus zeds are seeing me from way too far away. Feels this needs drop just a tad. I have not been out at night to see how that is working.

3. Nearly run speed zombies. With all the other stuff in game that can kill you adding that too is just over kill, especially since it seems you can't seem to avoid the zeds as stated above.

4. Hills and this might be just the map I got with the seed Starvation but really having a hard time finding a decent flat spot to build. I like to build outside of a town and not right in it. But again this just might have been my seed.

5. Lastly. Pack space. Way too much added in this mod to be able to enjoy looting/game-play with the size pack that it has. I know there has been talk of maybe a 10ish more slots. That would help but in all honesty the best thing I think could happen would be choices in the launcher for a small (current size), medium and large packs. Choices like that are a good thing and tend to make way more people happy.

Lastly I would like to say thank you to all the modders working on this mod. I know you guys put in a lot of your time and love into this.

 
It works unless you damaged that tree badly chopping it. Punch tree until it changes to a smaller tree which will regrow.

I provided Morte with new fly particles with sound turned down, 50%, 25% and to 10%. Morte will pick one to his liking. I hope you like the choice as well. We will probably also reduce the probability of flies living in trash too.




2. Stealth/Sneaking. Seeming nearly impossible to keep from being found by the zombies in the day time. Plus zeds are seeing me from way too far away. Feels this needs drop just a tad. I have not been out at night to see how that is working.

Starvation has much more aware zeds than the dumb and deaf ones in vanilla. Line of sight is critical now. You cant stealth in the light and expect not to be seem. Sound is also more important now, they can hear you looting if not stealthed. Stealth does work, its just not a get out of jail free card like it is in vanilla. You have to use the shadows and things that block line of sight now. Ever play Thief? Think that way.

3. Nearly run speed zombies. With all the other stuff in game that can kill you adding that too is just over kill, especially since it seems you can't seem to avoid the zeds as stated above.


We might dial it down a notch, but I hear a lot of folks like it so finding a balance will be hard.

I'm pushing for a 45 slot bag when the new UI is released. You got my vote on this one!

Why not have support for bigpack mod. UI mod is one thing- 45 sure- I mean most people will enjoy that.

But why not just add the support for SDX or bigback mod in the first place?! If people want it- they will download it. Its not like you have to add it by default- just give mod support.(option)

Other mods have done so and are they worse because of that? On the contrary. If you can give people options to choose- options are nice every time.

 
How does one level the sanity skill so I can get my carpet again? I have one character on day 9 now with 120 minute days and his exp bar for resistance is 2% at lvl 1. I feel like I'm wasting my life sitting on a bedroll trying to recover sanity now.
Also is there a way to find out what is needed to craft certain items? I spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out why I couldn't craft aloe bandages. I feel like I'm going to miss out on a lot of early progression just due to the fact I'm not sure what I can/can't build.

Other than that, loving it.

I believe the sanity skill only goes up when you actually gain sanity from meditating. If your bar is full, no skill gain. At least that's how it has worked in the past.

I completely agree about the need to know what is required to craft items. A hammer icon next to everything doesn't help because we don't know which crafting machine each item is made from. Any way to get custom icons for each workstation on the recipe? (forge, big forge, workbench, etc) I have this problem with the beaker. I still can't figure out how to make one, but the recipe is there.

There's an idea, too. Perhaps a treatment to cut the debuff duration in half, like splints do for sprained/broken legs.

I like this idea, or maybe make the treatment for spider/snake bites easier to craft early on, but require you to apply it every 4 hours or so until cured, kinda like antibiotics in the real world.

My vote is for some sort of bag functionality, where you have our current default inventory space when you start, but you can craft bags and backpacks to equip that either increases your inventory size, or maybe right click the backpack to open it's inventory to be used like a chest. If the latter, you'd need some sort of deterrent to keep people from using more than one, like reducing your movement speed to really low or zero if the bag is unequipped to your inventory. Something like that.
