Unfortunately no. They spawn like random hordes in 7DTD.
I'm glad you'll have a look
Then I build the next base design and the next until I run out of ideas.
Not if you have the base well planned. Of course, if you call a wooden box surrunded by spikes a base, I'm not surprised if the base is overrun.
In my opinion, a game is not defined by risks. There are games where there are no risks and no challenges but they are still fun.
A puzzle is also a type of game. A game that requires patience and logical thinking.
They can do a lot with this system, for example I am going to assume that each tier has a stat range, with the tier below able to hit probally the mid ground or so of the tier above. They could add a virtual tier 7 to items, with the high end stats on a tier 6. I still feel players should only be able to craft up to tier 3 and you can hit that early, anything higher? Get out there and loot. Then again if stats are randomized enough, a tier 1 item could be made with god-tier stats thats near max for that item type for example, the main downside is the lack of mod slots and durability.
Block damage is not a problem in a17 if you kill them before they can do much to your walls, or set up a kill corridor like what is pretty popular in a17 to do since they'll generally just path right in it for you. Just a tip. Besides they could have modifiers on its block damage so it does very little to say, dirt blocks, but normal damage to wood, stone, metal etc.
Finally, My biggest issue with the armor perks in a17 was they never fixed the issue I personally had at all, which was the horrific movement and stamina penalites for using it. I suspect though the armor values for some of the armors will change a bit to compensate for the removal of that perk that adds what was it 50% to it? Probally its Armor Rating range can be between 50%(or 75%) to 150% of its normal. Just a wild guess on my part, as we haven't seen much of a18 yet.. Madmole.. video please? I am curious about the randomized stats and the new weapons and how the perk system is, as I hated how a17 is for a single player game as your virtually forced down int/str stats to be able to do anything.
improved group buff would be awesome. This sounds great, please try it
Except with the wonky way spawning works they end up inside your base half the time when building larger bases like that. I tried building a compound with some friends and it wasn't even that large inside with most of the size being related to defenses on the outside, but it was pointless as the game decided half of the bloodmoon zombies should spawn inside the inner walls. That logic would work if the game you're developing actually followed it.
The takeaway from this is that everyone has fun in their own fashion and nobody should dictate to anyone else how they have their own brand of fun. With all fun being equally worthy it then comes down to ease of adaptation and it is infinitely easier to mod out stuff than it is to mod stuff in.
I agree that would be awesome but also almost certainly too big to implement before release.
I was assuming the block damage and the AI from A17 because I have no information on how this changes with A18.
Please define "not that big". The zombies spawn in close to the edge of the rendered chunk which means that your base must have been huge. Building a compound so large that it encompasses every possible spawn point and then complaining that they spawn inside isn't fair. If you want to remove the bloodmoon horde mechanic from the game it is as easy as selecting it on the main menu. No need to to try and build it out of existence. You can easily build multiple layers of walls within the radius that the bloodmoon horde spawns.
I was pretty bummed with the Delay of A17 and its release form, but this time Im really content with the Delay. Be it Fall or even Winter, that content you showed us is allready worth the wait and if that time helps you to iron bugs and balance problems out, so be it.
It would be pretty cool if the vehicles sold at the trader had a chance of coming with increased storage, speed, gas mileage. So, while you can craft one with baseline stats, the trader offers the chance for a vehcile with nice upgrades.
