PC A20 Developer Diary Discussions

Yeah and I hope it doesn’t suck.

I miss the days of crafting rebar, laying it in place then coming back with a bucket full of concrete to fill the rebar blocks. I sort of like mini tedious tasks.

I still miss zombies destroying crops and have to water them daily or digging an irrigation trench.

however

I can appreciate why others don’t like those tasks.


Yeah those details can be fun.  Personally, I am okay with simplfication/consolidation in some areas especially if its to make way for other engaging tasks/activities that will eat up our time.

I have a question about pipe guns about ammo. They just use standart ammo? or in future versions u add new "self-made'' bullets?
The pipe guns will use regular ammunition, the pipe shotgun will outmode the blunderbuss and replace it.

Pipe weapons will likely be low durability but cheap to repair like the blunderbuss but you'll be able to actually utilize the ammunition you find rather than hoarding it for a week+ until you get a weapon that can actually use it or make it yourself by minmaxing into a weapon type you like.  

 
Once upon a time, before the release of Alpha 19, we on the forum discussed the appearance in the game of a kind of train.

I couldn't find Joel's post, but I do remember that he was speculating that at some point in the game, improvised minecarts could appear that could move on rails that players can place. These minecarts could be used by players to conveniently travel to and from mines.

Also, if I remember correctly, it was mentioned that such rails could be located almost vertically, which could replace the lifts for the players, which the developers refused to implement (lifts) in 16 Alpha (if I remember correctly).

Q: Is the implementation of the rails and minecarts still under discussion, or is it Joel's ( @Madmole ) dead horse that shouldn't be kicked anymore?

Thanks for what you are doing, I look forward to 20 Alpha)

P.S. @Roland you can say that Joel never wrote this, I still couldn't find proof 😅😂

i have a additional question - if you doesn't want  to add trains as vehicle and useble rails , so there is any chance to be them as a props?  you know train stations, destroyed bridges with train on it etc?

id like a more standard helicopter, the gyro is fun and all but a PITA.

Missile mods, 200MM front mounted cannon, anti missile ordinance, and a way to grapple up and down so i can leave it hovering while i get a POI done;

have it waiting for me safely 50meters up.

 
Would be amazing if every map had a highway from the city to the map boundary that looked like this. Is that in the works? Would be great for car looting and also look really amazing!

Man could you imagine the explosion of shooting just one of those vehicles or an unknown dumb ass zombie beating on one.......

It would literally melt our cpu's, lol

I don’t know if you mean the “hype train” that always gets talked about before updates. As far as I know the devs have never been interested in adding rails and mine carts/trains. 
 

In the early days they didn’t want to do anything more to make the game look like a Minecraft clone and these days it is just not on the roadmap and they aren’t doing anything any longer that isn’t on the roadmap. 
 

Vertical rails acting like an elevator is something Ive never heard until your post. 😂😂
