PC A17 Large bone farm

Darts traps will also be my most important defense for the late game. I tested a base with 14 dart traps and electric fence posts and it literally destroyed a max-gamestage horde in standard difficulty with 32 zombies.
However, I notice the lack of sufficient amounts of glue very clearly. I am used to working with the auger in the mine but because I only have a few repair kits available I usually use the pickaxe instead. Since the traders in the 17.1 also sell glue I hope that sufficient quantities can be obtained to cover the need for repair kits for my auger.

Madmole once wrote that he swims in bones but I think he and I have different ideas about what that means. In the A16 I had chests full of bones. When I made glue, it wasn't 10 or 20 units, it was something in the range of 500-1000 units.

Agree. You get to a point when "swimming in bones" means getting 500 ~ 1000 bones each horde (A16). I always needed ~ 3k shotgun shells for late hordes, meaning 300 glue only for paper, not to mention duct tape for exploding bolts (~ 150). Now we have a very limited source and tons of news recipes that require a lot of duct tape. I think a good solution would be increasing the amount you get when crafting in chem station (like 5 per bone)

so instead of adding different recipes for glue,or trying to figure out another more complicated work around, why cant they just make the zombie corpses harvestable? all animals are, so why not corpses? pretty easy way to solve the problem

The zombies corpses where harvestable in Alpha 16 and before but they removed the zombie goreblocks in Alpha 17.

They used to be but removed that for performance reasons... [i think].

Easier to just increase the amount of bones harvested from animals.

Make it x5 or something and you'll be swimming in them.
