At least this time you updated the game BEFORE I started playing/streaming, not right in the middle. 
Thank you! (and at the start of a weekend too! have a cookie!)

JOEL,
Today during the broadcast I went to the merchant at about 10 in the morning and it was closed. When I approached the gate, I did not teleport.
I could just restart the game and most likely the merchant would open, but I didn’t do that. I just went about my business, completed some tasks and when I returned at 6 pm, the trader was open.
I know why this happened, just a piece of the card with the merchant unloaded, and then booted again when I returned, but ...
It was cool when you go to the merchant during the day and you never know for sure whether he is open or not! )
The merchant is also a person, and he could sometimes close during the day to go for the goods, or go to the toilet, and maybe he has lunch or a day off)
I hope you do not correct this error or make it a feature of the game! )
What do you think about this aspect of realism? Is this a good idea?

Awesome! Thanks for the added danger during BM nights! It will add a bit more spice rather than just watching for Cops and Greenies advancing towards our defenses. Really looking forward to these guys!
Any possibility that you would consider giving them a 25-50% Zombie loot bag drop rate that has some gun powder and a block or 2 of the new C4 inside? Might be that extra "push" folks need to jump outside the safety of their defenses to snatch up the bags.

It will just piss people off. There is a horde coming, everyone has 10,000 things to do, and rekt is out wiping his ass in the outhouse? There are some lazy ♥♥♥♥s in Skyrim that don't open until 10 am and they piss me off. Adrianne is busting ass at 6 am she gets all my business lol.

Alpha 17.4 Experimental B4
Ok enough now
How many more experimental versions do we need before you guys TFP fix it and make this game right, so many changes, and so many “fixes” that are making things worse?
Get your team together, please
17 alphas (with multiple versions in between)
I love this game and what it is, but you’re doing my head in, the “changes” and “updates” that miss obvious errors that need fixing
Yes it “works” better now, but stupid changes and so obvious things that are not fixed/changed just makes me think WTF are they doing, how they cannot see that’s an issue
Don’t make visual changes priority over core game coding!!
Animation, please, if you have a spider zombie that jumps, don’t make it a non-animation, he jumps like hes stuck in an 80s Atari game
Just look at the forum, the amount of posts about “alpha 17 xxxx” whatever version bug reporting
Theres so many
Listen to your players
Fix the obvious issues
Stop realising minor experimental updates until you got it totally sorted

If I was a Trader in this game, I would put a "Drop box" outside my outpost for "Afterhours" deliveries. I might give only 75% of the promised reward payment and EXP but hell, if you are coming after hours and can't wait til morning.. Suck it up Buttercup. The choice is yours to wait and maybe grab a new job or drop and scoot..

This sounds crazy but good is an apocalypse, @madmole I speak of alchemy, well this is my idea
* Add alchemy table to manufacture nitric acid, fertilizer, acid, energy drinks and explosive liquid
* Add mineral salt (which can be found under rivers and lagoons)
* Join Salt + Nitric acid = Nitrate (oh yeah)
* Add other crazy recipes
Summing up an alchemy table to prepare nitrate and be all happy

Oh god... Hell yeah dude! You and your team are killing it in every way possible, i've been playing 7dtd since alpha 4, and I am so proud of what it has become and how you never settled with what you had, you guys always wanted more and better, and that's respectable as f*ck.
This is the best survival/sandbox game in existence period.
Play something else, come back when the game is released. EA ist not the right stuff for you
EDIT: If you don't believe me, ask Trankitas :cocksure:

They fix those bugs that are more convenient for them to fix, and fixing them will benefit future releases.
They will not fix the bug of stuff if its still have to alter or remove in the future.
Therefore, this state of affairs. But I agree with you - it's annoying.
But "it's Alpha" (RR).

Stop opting in to the latest experimental, or stick to A16.4 then
Things are messy and hard to debug when bugs can affect other bugs. You need the baby steps.

So sit on bugs and fixes until we fix the things that rub you the right way? Sorry but we fix what we feel is urgent, not random stuff that doesn't even matter. Some stuff cannot be fixed in 17 without breaking save games so those things wait for A18 to be fixed. Posts like this are useless, unless you can be specific about a real problem, its just a useless rant.
All I got out of it is, some guy is randomly unhappy because we didn't solve what he's passionate about, but he refused to say other than some vague stuff about spiders.

Yeah but traders are actually open during horde night so thats a bug that needs fixed. I just don't see value to it. I'd rather put effort into more serious problems like broken arms that are interesting to work around than inconvenience features that just annoy people. Oh how do I solve that? You wait. Not interesting after the first few times it happens.
