On the other hand, waiting for your meals to cook, items to scrap, stamina to regen while running or swinging a melee weapon, they're all in the same boat here. Is waiting around fun? No, but balance takes priority over such things.
You can do other things while crafting or scrapping. I also believe that stamina drain is way too high for running and melee, but thats a different argument.
I personally think melee stamina costs are fine the way they are. Besides, we have the clubs which by end-game provide infinite stamina recovery through power attacks. As for sprinting, I don't see this being an issue once you get past the bicycle phase. (And even then, tap W while sprinting on your bike and you'll only lose stamina while turning.)
Its only really a problem early game.... but early game its a really bad problem, IMO.
True, but who needs a mega fort by day 7 or even day 14 anyway? You could simply make a staircase that connects to a walkway with iron bars separating you from the zombies, and you'll do fine perhaps up until day 21 at best.
Why can't we Gut chickens and Vultures for their eggs!Game-changing question here. Do zombie vultures in 7D2D lay eggs?Are those eggs found in the birds nests on the ground?
Are we cooking up their children?
Poaching, scrambling, boiling, and spreading them on toast perhaps?
Are we eating rotten zombified eggs?Bluh!
hah, well.... about early game I was only replying to you about running and melee. I think stamina drain for mining is almost always a problem. Having to constantly pause and wait for stamina to refill while mining doesn't make good gameplay, IMO. It's more understandable, to me, to have to regen stamina after running or melee as long as the drain isn't too severe (which, early game, I think it is)
No doubt about it, especially in 7 Days. Our characters can't run for more than 30 meters before puffing and wheezing like they need an oxygen tank attached to their back.hah, well.... about early game I was only replying to you about running and melee.

Motorized tools should have drain.... anyone thats used one in RL knows that
All the looters must be throwing pitchforks at TFP because there is always a delay when opening a box. We are sooo not playing the game all the time we loot a kitchen.
Not my native language, but I thought "chicken" is the zoological term for the whole race, including (female) hens! Is that wrong?
Sort of true. But from now on, let it be known that chickens give birth to live young. Let me win this argument. Let me have that much.
I think you are completely right. Chickens are birthed in hot oil, live in card board boxes and have a crust. They can't lay eggs. But you can order an egg salad with the chicken, though the eggs were never touched by that chicken in any way. Chickens also can't fly, otherwise we would call them vultures.Sort of true. But from now on, let it be known that chickens give birth to live young. Let me win this argument. Let me have that much.
It's honestly pretty simple. Chickens don't lay eggs, but vultures do. Snakes lay eggs, but elephants don't. Most humans don't lay eggs, but Roland does. Capiche?
Oops, my bad. Chickens can lay eggs after all. I was mistaking them for the majestic buffalo chicken.
the problem is, you project your opinion (wich is fully ok) to all other players, at least implied.
