PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

where is 17.3? its been 2 months, expecting a lot of bugs fixed

32 days is 2 months? There is a decent amount of fixes, we're working on A18 too you know.

I get that we can build a vehicle set, but cannot we get similar looking broken vehicle on street, like broken hog, or minibike or 4x4. they can be like other sedan, but for visual it is great to have those as broken/non-functional vehicles. Even the Bycycle.

Maybe the bicycle, the others feel so customized that old unusable versions of them laying around wouldn't feel that natural.

Are sedans ever gonna get a use more than just essentially a container with car parts? Like the Jeep being off-road, but it doesn't give you much temperature protection, and the sedan being more on-road but has more temperature protection or something? I think maybe it would be nice to be able to fix them up rather than just scrap them.

In zombie dog years, yes.

i think people are confusing ore destruction with mining with my statement. When i find iron ore or a surface boulder i want to smash it and get the resources. Digging tunnels through stone and gravel is what i consider mining, you are looking for ore. That part is kind of relaxing. But when i find an iron ore i just want to smash it as fast as i can and fill my backpack with iron ore. Pounding on it forever is annoying, thus the one shot perk.

yassss!

Maybe, I'll see if we can apply an insulation buff when seated in the jeep

"Also, Alpha 18 waits for noone or no feature. If a feature isn't ready it gets disabled. I can't give a release date but I can assure you its in the first half of 2019."

We shall see i guess the last wait was loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong!

MadMole,

For A18 when the crafting quality is decoupled from Intellect and the ability to make different weapons will move to that weapon group's perk, will Yeah! Science still be used for crafting mods of all kinds?

Yes, but we're still looking at the big picture and moving stuff around so I can't guarantee it yet.

Hey Madmole, do you guys have any models done yet for the Double-Barreled Shotgun, C4, or the M60?

Yes all but c4

 

[Arma Rex]

Working on the hold/fire/reload animations.

 

[Darkfoxx117]

Is it to early to start asking when we can expect A18 experimental?

Soon.......

(but not that soon)

 

[sammey1210]

That's true. And hey, that's where mods come in. If we want something in the game that won't realistically fit in, then we can figure out a way to mod it in.

Someone please do it

 

[FA_Q2]

I feel the same way about barrels, if TFP manage to balance as realistic as they can that issue, they should take a look at the whole inventory management. ex: i can carry 20 forges in my backpack, vehicles, etc.

I sincerely hope they do not do this. Inventory management is already a bear and I have never found such a task as fun or adding to the game at all. the only real purpose for inventory restriction IMHO is balance.

It is good that we can carry 20 forges around. If we went to something more'realistic' then you would not be able to carry anything at all.

 

[Roland]

Yes all but c4

Hmmmmm......how to render a grey brick shape in a voxel world?

 

[Ouch Quit It]

What happened to the 2-3 week updates after 17 was released?
