Or have areas of the map that you actually have to manipulate (dig, build, rebuild, repair, do a cave through a mountain) to have access to another part of the map. In some sort of quest story for a given time.

That would be cool as well!

 
@MM

I'm curious. If you were offered to take a 3d-model (of proper quality and appropriate to the theme of the game) complete with sources materials, which made the modder. For free and with permission to do anything with it.

Would you take it for 7dtd if you liked it?

Or is there some reason why you won't do it?

but, but, BEER is Nectar of the Gods!

Probably an oversight, but the guy who left had beer as some god tier item with a bunch of beer perks and bs I nuked.

I would say that the value of a good beer or even some raw whiskey (grain alcohol) would be at a premium during the apocalypse.

Especially if you could age it properly into a nice scotch. Seems like what the economy needs is some trade goods to sink extra resources and provide some occupation for end game.

They have their own plans.

Workshop is on its way and what you guys do, can be ingame some day. So keep developing it and some day it could be anywhere.

..depends by the value of the moment when you have it. Cheers Grue.

I mean, the kind of things they suit (or need) right now.

They have their plans and adding a content from anyone just like that is not gonna work.

Full mod support, future steam workshop is what you need.

 
What kinds of advantages do the fist-based melee weapons give, and how is that related to fortitude? Is there some kind of defensive bonus, lower interrupt chance, or is it just that fortitude players can risk getting up-close-and-personal because they are so tanky?

 
Yes, which is why would like to implement an occlusion system but it is not easy since the world is fully destroyable.

I'm pretty confident you'll find solutions for a decent occlusion system, your technical staff should/will be stoked to work on something similar, at least I would be ! ^^ Honestly this may actually improve performance by such a HUGE margin that it might be a gamebreaking (gamemaking ?) feature in order to add more costly stuff (bandits, more zombies, etc)

Take a look at this, there's a link in the description, I can't vouch for it since I didn't do any more research than that, but the blog seems very thoughtful and with interesting topics. The pro version costs 1K which is obviously nothing compared to the cost of making your own from scratch.

This is not a RWG-generation problem! If you want the biomes may change each step! It's about the size of world.

On the contrary, the journey to find the desert can be fun and interesting and motivate the player. Otherwise, you need to remove all the transport - it is not needed in this miserable piece of 8x8 meters.

Why do you add these absurdities. You've already explained everything when you said about the technical side of the problem. People feel like you're inventing nonexistent causes....

It's not necessary... it's offensive.

Not everyone wants to spend 12 real time hours walking somewhere and few would agree its motivating. Vehicles are absurdities? The only thing absurd is your opinion.
 
Modern day "Supply and Demand"!
you supply a bigger map and they demand more and faster vehicles to get across the bigger map... rinse and repeat because the faster vehicles shrink the map. :)

If we supported 64k maps then they would complain the vehicles are way too slow.

 
Remove vehicles for the win! :D well at least the gyro-copter.. Or just make mountains/cliff/canyons rougher, to go off-road and over, with vehicles, so they need to go around them mostly instead.

Or, just choose to walk if you think its too easy once you get a vehicle? This is turning into another food spoilage discussion. Balance will solve it. If you don't have 20k gas stored up you might only be able to use vehicles a few days a week or when you are lucky and have gathered enough fuel to go on a longer trip.

What does this have to do with anything? 3D models have never been a bottle neck for us.

They are tanky and once you punch them in the face their teeth are knocked out and they cannot infect you.

That is a whole voxel game engine we can't just start from scratch. We have an occlusion system working but can't turn it on until all the edge cases and bugs are fixed.

No-no, this does not apply to the topic of RWG - this is about another.

I asked only what is written - actually. Without a hint.

Some blocks are missing for a long time, for example - a desktop PC, which your prefab designers are trying to portray with the help of TVs.

I think - making this 3D-model - a win-win situation.

In any case, it will be in demand, but, you still haven't done it.

It seems to be a logical step....?

Actually, i didn't say transport was absurd on its own. But the transport on the map with a size of 2x2 meters, it is of course absurd.

UPD:

Ah....I must apologize again.

Why do you add these absurdities. You've already explained everything when you said about the technical side of the problem. People feel like you're inventing nonexistent causes....

I wrote this is not about transport, but about your assumption that Aloe need seek far.

Sorry. My bad. I was inconsistent in my writing.
