Is anyone like me not getting stone from hitting rocks with tools other than a stone axe? Used a sledge hammer and iron reinforced club and getting nothing.

What stone? if it's the landscape stone that I did laying around the biomes, some of them won't have much of a harvest since they are very low on hp and only tools that have a high harvest will produce anything like the pick and stone axe that have perks for extra harvest. Could be the harvest deal for the tool/weapon is not allowing you to get any because of the low hp for that chunk of stone.

Just an FYI though I haven't messed with any of the weapons or tools, they are vanilla.

I've tried both the boulders and the large mass of rock. I was using a sledge I found that was about 80 quality, the iron reinforced club was about the same. I used the sledge to break down the boulders 100% and did not get any stone at all. I'd expect low levels at my low level and tools, but zero is really odd.

lol have you tried using a basic club and see if you get anything? I guess I never really paid attention myself if I got anything from using them to get stone or whatnot, but yeah, I did no progression, item adjustments, nor perk adjustments so that's all vanilla as far as that goes. Guess that may be something for me to visit if TFP don't adjust it when A17 drops. You should get something maybe not a lot for using the wrong tool for the job but something.

I need to test with vanilla, sorry.. I should've done that before saying anything.

No worries. The only item stuff I messed with were the "handzombie" and the like for the zeds and animals. :)

 
pretty sure the sledge and clubs give 0 harvest, at least at base levels in vanilla also. you also won't get flowers with them, 0 harvest.

this looks really really nice :)

Thanks for the confirmation on the sledge and clubs :)

.. And Thanks! Hope you enjoy it if you try it :) or if you're already trying it..

 
*** Update Jan 1 2017 ***




  • Many prefabs and poi's have had their spawns re tweaked to give high valued places increased threat. Grab your clubs and pull out your guns. If you want the loot you'll need to fight for it.
  • RWGmixer has also been slightly been tweaked to redistribute certain prefabs better around the city/town.


Again. No need to re download unless you want the new stuff as it would require you to re-roll a new map.

..And Happy New Year to all!!

 
started a new game tin took me a full day to find a town and im currently still searching the town going on 2 days now looking the town im currently in is well over 100x100 blocks in circumfrence and i dont think im anywhere near done uncovering it

Thank you sinda... I hadn't ever tried it before in vanilla. I had run out of stone to make an axe but had the sledge from loot, so I thought I could get stone with that.

Not quite sure what you mean on the 100x100 blocks in circ. Sounds like one of the small towns but the way you're talking it sounds like it's a rather big town/city? Either way it sounds like you lucked out on finding a hub in under a day :)

I guess I can't say much because it usually takes me and the wife a full day or so to meet up and then another day or 2 to find a town or back track to one that one of use found while meeting up with each other.

Did you d/l the new version? if so how is the zeds in the biomes? still over the top? to little? or just right in your opinion?

Just a little tip: some of those small landscape rocks only have a few hp per block so you could probably bust those down really quick and give yourself a nice little stack pretty quick.

 
didnt download the update i prefer it the old way lots of z's keeps u on ur toes and do u recall the old hub cities in a15? its nearing teh size of that if not bigger and if ur in guppys discord channel we could talk there would be easier :)

Hit me up or just send me a message under my name on discord, either way.

I don't think you would be disappointed with the new additions... ;)

I'm confused. I decided to try this mod today and i turned "always run" on. I've encountered only few zombies so far but none of them are running. What aren't i getting?

EDIT:

Oh, i see, they have different walking/running speeds no matter the setting.

Yes, I went with variety. I may need to have 2 different versions though at some point. It's seems ppl are pretty split on difficulty.

For now you can open the spawning.xml and just increase the the max_count for the differing biomes in the "Day" lines if the challenge for you seems underwhelming just out n about.

Either way, thanks for trying it out and hope it fulfills in some parts some of what you're looking for.

 
*** Update Jan 2 2018 ***

Minor update toned down the business strip spawn some (was a little much).

err.. and um.. I actually acknowledge it's 2018 now instead of 2017 in the D/l Link :D

heh, the spawns haven't been downgraded just shifted. Hotels are full like they should be (imo) Stores are packed, gas stations are actually occupied etc,.. It's all good though, enjoy it how you like it ;)

.. and awesome about the city :)

 
Looks like all the excitement has died down a bit :)

After running this for several days, I really don't have any complaints. I haven't yet found and significant cities - so far just small towns. I found a Higashi Pharma, and one construction site, but that is it for big buildings. Still looking for that big hub/city/town :)

I did nerf the zombie spawn a bit, and due to requests from players, nerfed feral run speed also as the lesser experienced players go tired of being run down by ferals right off the bat. Just a bit of tweaking to help level the playing field a bit. I also tweak player run speed, stack size, and a few recipes, but that has nothing to do with your mod.

Excellent work! I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again - the biomes are beautiful! I didn't know you could get rwgmixer to do this, the scenery is so much more natural and playable. Gone are those miserable continent sized lakes, gone are those mountains-mountains-everywhere, gone are those water-water-everywhere worlds :) .
