Introducing a backup or savegame feature would be a one-way trip. once implemented, there is no going back, as people would get used to it and complain a lot if it get taken out again. With a savegame feature the gameplay-loop would change (try - fail - load - repeat - try - win - advance - save .... repeat) and not for the better.
A similar system are "base-blueprints" (as used in Empyrion). It allows spawning in whole bases once the resources are collected.
Many people have fun creating bases in creative mode and sharing them to others, but in the end it leads to everyone just pop in premade blueprint-bases and never actually building anything ingame. A lot of the charm of manually building a base while surviving is lost.

Can you add more roaming zombie walkers or runners in town and cities so that the doesnt feel empty?
I mean the POIs are filled with many zombies can you put some of them on the streets? So entering the cities and town are more alive i mean undead.
Thank you.
Keep up the good work and have a nice day!

Well that sounds like a lame bug to me. You should get the same resources if you one shot the block vs hitting it 1000 times with your fists. So if we fix that bug, will the crying cease of the one shot perk? Everyone cried when we took out one shotting (I always liked it) so my thought here was to bring it back in some sense but not have it be too OP in every case.yeah, #1 is definately a wee bit jumbled
Your second sentence relaying that the "double fire bug" will be getting some attention is welcome news.
For the "Second" part. What I was pointing out was that for a several alphas now you never want to deal exactly the damage that either ore blocks or trees have remaining. If you do then you won't get a 'bonus' amount of resources on that last hit.
And though last I recall that 'bonus' was -not- supposed to still exist, it does.
Similarly, though I've intentionally -not- tested for it recently, I sort of expect that it's still in a players best interest to use a "lower" Qual, or damage-output Steel Pickaxe when harvesting ore blocks than it is to use a max-damage pickaxe.
In other words, better to hit ore blocks as many times as possible (w the highest tier tool), so long as the last hit is at least 1 damage more than it would take to finish the block. This is to maximize the amount of resources you gain per ore block.
So the Perk for reading all 7 books in the series, as described, would actually reduce the resources gained.
And I don't think that's what you intend.
---
On a slightly different subject. A few days ago I did suggest possibly adding in a Mod or Perk or ability for a Legendary Pickaxe where it would allow one-shotting of the Sand blocks mixed in with the Ore Blocks. But not the Ore blocks themselves.
This was a smallish QoL thing I noticed while doing a lot of resource mining.
I found myself switching back and forth between pickaxe & shovel a lot, and it really messed with my mining rythm.
Before posting the suggestion I modded the 'earth' damage a steel pickaxe does and gave it a go. For me it made mining while in a resource cluster much more enjoyable.

For me (wiping away tears), absolutely. :biggrin1:
And ya know, a rare 15 minute magazine, "Hulk SMASH!" that provided one-shotting Stone, Sand & Ores with any pickaxe would be a hell of a find! :faint2:

I would actually expect you to get fewer resources one-shotting blocks, because you're being less careful digging out those resources.
After all, there's a reason archaeologists use delicate instruments rather than sledgehammers.
That also gives an interesting in-game choice between maximising speed or maximising resource gains when destroying blocks.
You can probably work around any performance hit by taking a dynamic approach. Like a small horde that respawns fast near the player, or an automatic heat increase while player is in the city. Same for roaming hordes.
The only true problem is xp balance, on which I completely agree with another post (https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?112454-Things-TFP-removed-and-you-wish-they-hadn-t/page6):

MM, i have a question about the new books/magazines design.
Anyone can read the books and learn the abilities? o will they have skill requierements?
Example: A book that allows you to craft refined fuel (better performance per gallon or something) requires having Yeah science skill lvl 5
If you don't have that ability you better trade it to someone who can use it, sell it or scrap.
Thoughts?
