These are very good points. People tend to get hung up on the little crap that does not matter.

Like grass

Normal level, and I guess Madmole is playing normal level too.

I play old normal (Nomad), which is new +1 difficulty level. I'm thinking of putting on my big boy pants and trying 16 alive on my next character, or later game once I get my traps going (starting on a new more efficient dart trap design)

 

[ZombieSurvivor]

I've only enabled power on the vault class doors, I don't think those would look good in a powered hatch bridge setup like the ones you are using. Maybe next alpha we can make some dedicated powered foot bridge pieces.

I only make those bridges out of vault hatches but for the sake of taking thsoe pics. Indeed using Vault hatches is really ugly looking when making a bridge out of them but they last longer. I used the lesser hatches as those would have been easier to destroy should I have made a mistake while building that bridge. A dedicated powered foot bridges is not a bad idea at all, I would not mind seeing that in game.

7 days...

I feel like there are less "bad deaths" and more "good deaths" in 18.

then it will happen to alpha 18 then 19 etc

 

[madmole]

Oh, I figured you were planning more on a motion sensor. Walk up to your mini drawbridge and open sesame.

I'm not sure one will work on a stair case but the more I think about it a foot bridge is better so it would work great for that.

What are the difficulty levels now?

 

[ZombieSurvivor]

Wheels are the weirdest thing in the game... There's about a billion of then lying around, that you can't use because they turn to plastic, but you can make one from scratch with plastic, coal and acid? Doesn't make any kind of sense... It's like they forced wheels into a 7day world with no additional items...
A pickup, repair situation would have been much better. Find/craft tire patches, add an air compressor station (be no more useless than a table saw)...

The reason there are so many tires around the map is because when no one is looking the zombies get together on the street and rolls tires to each other. its a stupid game they play but zombies really seem to enjoy it a lot, thats why you find random tires laying on the streets.

Rumors are that a lot of zombies have traveled to New York for the big tire rolling contest, this explains why there are less zombies in the wild in A17.

Why not make a trap with hatches and motion sensors?

When the player walks across it, it stays closed. When a zombie walks across it, it opens and they fall into a deep spike trap.

Nailed it, that is going to be the next killing corridor.

Hey Muscular Mole (that's what MM stands for, right?) how many MF's are right now? Will any of those ship with experimental and be fixed on stable?

 

[XCOUNTRY]

Maybe instead of the saw as a placeable item in the world it’s an item in your backpack like the anvil et al in the forge or pot in campfire that unlocks the radial menu for complex blocks.

Thats exactly what I was picturing in my head when MM said he was planning on making one.

Go 64, to celebrate A18's release.

Also when you do add bandits how about a book series called Cannibals for Dumb♥♥♥♥s. Allows you to harvest bandits and make soylent green. Could apply to other players as well. I mean it's the apocalypse after all..
