PC A20 Developer Diary Discussions

[Jost Amman]

Have fun with the A20 live streams everyone.  I'll be avoiding all A20 content from hear on

Oh, so you won't be watching the streams, but you'll be HEARING everything... I see.  :suspicious:   :confused2:

Oh I'll be watching/listening to them... a day after A20 comes out in experimental.  Let's hope my willpower is as strong as I think it is.

Most of these details will be revealed in the devstreams which should be starting up real soon.

You know it's getting serious when they use "real soon" instead of "soon". Which is later than "around the corner".

I have an opposite problem. I have massive fps drops in my base at around 23 o clock. It drops from 50fps to 20. After midnight it goes back to normal. Playing on random map and even changed the time with settime (it worked), but almost every day is the same problem. Anyone had the same ?

Do you have a bunch of electrical timer relays set up for that time?

I would have said really real soon but I didn't want to start a riot....

Like tomorrow that never comes tomorrow or the tomorrow that is really soon

So how will the sewers work? will they be across the city?

And will zombies spawn in them? *Hint hint Hobo zombies*

Or Clown zombie....

I'm going to trying out the Vegan Challenge sometime in A20, and from what I've heard, it's exceptionally difficult. As far as I know, the complete list of edible foods would be as follows: raw corn, raw potatoes, raw yucca, blueberries, baked potatoes, cornbread, corn on the cob, cornmeal, yucca juice smoothies, canned peas, canned pears, raw pumpkins, pumpkin bread(?), snowberries, and vegetable stew. Am I missing anything?

(Note: I am unsure if you can eat raw mushrooms. I would think you could though.)

All mushrooms can be eaten raw. However some only once.

Funnily enough im doing that now, got the idea from Glock9.

Its was very savage at the start.

Getting hard again because the food bar is up near 200.

Filling it is pretty insane.

If i had to do it again id probably allow only animal fat from zombie animals; and make vegetable stews.

There just comes a point where 5-10 food isnt going to cut it when you need 20 to 40 of that item at a time. every 2 days.

 

[hiemfire]

and make vegetable stews.

Um

and vegetable stew.

Or did you mean @samljer that Vegetable Stew requires animal fat? If that is what you meant then you're incorrect.

I think you would be okay with the canned pasta.  When you make spaghetti dish in the game, you have to add Canned Beef so I always assume that the canned pasta was in a spaghetti sauce and not a meat sauce.

The can of stock is definitely borderline, though you could just assume it is a vegetable stock or clear stock, and not chicken / beef stock.  Since you are already giving up so much of the other dishes since they contain either meat or eggs, I don't think including this one as allowable for would be ground shattering.  Unless you record your playing and post it onto YouTube, then your subscribers might give you hell

If you are doing Vegan you shouldn’t have honey.

Honey is a stolen animal product.

 I was wrong, insects are considered animals….but they don’t fall under the same reason for mot eating as meat, dairy, or eggs.   Eating insects is really not the commercial exploitation that happens to cows, pigs, chicken, etc.

But if he wants, he can change the name from honey to maple syrup.

I'm pretty sure that eggs are used in the recipe to make the pasta noodles though.

Edit: Nevermind, miso paste is vegan-friendly, but the soup isn't since they use Dashi, which is fish.

Oh I didn’t think of that.  Well, if you decided to become a vegetarian instead of a vegan, then eggs and fish would be okay.

Going way off topic I know this subject well. Vegans should not be confused with Vegetarians. 

Vegans will not use any animal product. Eggs would absolutely be on that list because even though the egg typically isn’t fertilized it has been taken from the Hen, thus it is stolen.

Same with honey, the bees produced the honey and it was stolen from them. Bees did not agree to have their food taken from them, the Hen shouldn’t have produced that egg. Same with dairy products the Cow produced that milk it is theirs and they shouldn’t have been encouraged to produce so much milk.

The list of forbidden foods regarding being a vegan is fascinating.

Vegans should not drink wine because it goes thru some kind of bone filter or something similar. Same with Sugar, most sugars have some kind of bone meal in them.
