Working on the hold/fire/reload animations.

Joel, when are you planning to fix the shotgun reloading so that the loading animation is repeated as many times as there are not enough ammo and can be interrupted in the middle of the reloading process?

Thanks )

 
I never saw any posts stating updates every few weeks, just posts stating that alphas should hopefully come much more quickly.

I generally don't really care how long things take. I see the upcoming A18 as the A17 I was hoping for. I'm really looking forward to it, but I would rather wait longer than a few weeks for substantial differences in content, optimizations, and graphics.

However, I really am hoping that the extra swing bug gets fixed asap. That has got to be one of the most annoying bugs I have experienced in any game... and have dealt with it for way too long.

I request/suggest it before too, and want to repeat. that this game lose balance in bullet. game make user to shoot useless bullet as in fast firing First person shooting.. you just shoot. But it precise the bullets are in sniper game, where every bullet count. Can we make it so we can collect 1000s of 7.62 for our new AK47 on horde night without been worry of having low count.

 
Yo Madmole, I love fates motel cudos to whoever built that POI (kinda hope its a nod to Fatal). I'd love to see more POI's based on fictional horror locations. I know we can build em ourselves but I'd love a dungeon version of the Winchester (shaun of the dead) you could call it the Kinchester ;)

 
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.

Mining can be very therapeutic, I mean look at the likes of Dwarf Fortress and Terraria.

I do think there needs to be more to discover whilst mining. Special jewels or artifacts be a good start.

 
Its a time management game, not a digging simulation. Staring at boulders is boring, I want to get the resources so I can "go do fun stuff".

Then we need auto miners! Put down an auto-miner powered by coal or gas and it has a chance of picking up ore otherwise stone.

 
There is: The Art of Mining: Lucky Strike Uncover more sparkle with this favorite trick of mine: Adds a small chance to mine rare gems from ore.
Its subject to change yet, but the plan here was to get a small chance to extract gems from iron/shale/nitrate/lead.

Splendid !

Mining is favourite to lots of us, this brings it to another level. Thanks guys.

 
@Madmole... are the perlin caves permanently shelved? They were in ages ago, yanked, we were told they would return, and then bupkis for several years now.

Coupled with randomly scattered sleepers, they would add a lot of diverse gameplay.

Just read Aldranon`s post and imagined how his autominer loses control and starts doing caves all around.

We need caves, cmon.

I like this idea, while mining you might find remnants of an older civilization & have to carefully excavate to find ancient Artifacts, Treasure, weapons, Runes & yes Ancient Writings that can give knowledge, like Alchemy, etc...Arrrggghhh

Probably never. There are loads of AAA games that fudge this. Half life was the only one that did it right that I've played.

The upcoming books allow for more ammo and mats to be found/harvested and even bulk crafted so ammo should be more abundant than ever.

I think most people want to see the return of 60 fps without hitches more than that. We're not adding anything that is going to put us in reverse. If the occlusion works out it might see a return someday.

"Make your own story... I mean caves" lol. Sorry had to say that, I get tired of lame games saying that.

At least thats some hope. I suppose some large underground pois would suffice in the mean time.

I would think caves would just add to rgw generation time... blocks are pretty much blocks, and if need be the caves could just be empty with maybe just stalactites and stalagmites... maybe a scattered occasional underground cavern poi or two? The occulusion would handle overhead, I'd think.

(We started minecraft again to try the new raids, and the underground made us want caverns in 7 days again.)

MadMole,

The Mod 'Weighted Head' says it is for Medium and Heavy Melee Weapons. Are there any medium melee weapons? In my experience the only weapon that mod works on is Sledges.

If there are no medium melee weapons currently, is there a plan to add any?

Thank you!
