I posted this in the "Alpha 17.4 commentary & not-bugs" & the "Alpha 17.4 Stable bug reporting thread", but they are pretty dead and nobody responded. So, I thought I'd bring it over here to see if I can get any love on this. (I hope I'm not outta line here. )
"I haven't been able to find any info about this anywhere. I was under the impression that 2 people would be able to ride in the 4x4 truck. I just crafted one and it would only let 1 person ride. When I "open" the truck, the info shows that it has one seat.

Is there a setting or edit I have to change or did the two people thing not make it into 17.4?"

Two people works fine in the co-op games I've played.

Are you 'Allies' and/or in a 'Party' with the other person?

Apologies if that's stating the obvious...but that's the only thing I can think of, other than mod issue (if you're using any).

 
What's Nitrogen, besides the obvious answer?
Really good map/biome generator tool, that allows people to customize a map without needing to do it through programming terrain/biome modules. Very user friendly for the non programmer types.

So now, you don't need to rely on people like me and others, in order to make a map closer to your liking.

Excellent tool.

I just started using NitroGen for rwg and I highly recommend it. You get to choose options like number of lakes, rivers, towns, size of cities, smoothness of terrain, etc. The maps are so much more interesting than vanilla 7DTD. Hats off to Damocles!

Agreed, the tool is amazing. Damocles, you are THE man.

RWG is my biggest issue with A17, even after the improvements. Damocles saved me from shelving the game until A18.

Thank you Damocles.

After checking out that utility and creating a few 16K maps, I'm now tempted to wipe one of my servers just to play a new map before A18 comes out.

What is this tool that youall are talking about?

 
TFP, MM or rolland just curious as to whether the A18 experimental will be released to the streamers this time. I quite enjoyed watching them play.

 
Thanks for appreciating Nitrogen. I see it as and alternative to the included RWG.

The RWG needs to be a "seed and size" generator for practical purposes.

NitroGen can offer an alternative approach to generating custom maps for more experienced users and server operators, that can use a full range of custom optimizations.

I also think its a good way to assure that the Fun Pimps will put a lot of effort into the next iteration of RWG ....

What plans do you have long-term for infection? I think it has potential to be a linchpin in this game and I imagine you and the other devs have thought the same. Significant progressive debuffs in line with slowly becoming a zombie (less intelligent, less agility, less perception, but perhaps more fortitude and strength), cool signs that you're "turning" like an increasing frequency of moans and zombie grunts, maybe an animation like when you first spawn in the world and look at your hands but this time they're starting to decay, if you don't cure yourself in time you die and watch an animation of your character writhing on the ground, fully turning, and then standing up to shuffle away as a new member of the undead.

Some of the above? All the above? More that I haven't even thought of? PLEASE tell me infection won't just be a simple debuff but y'all want to create some visceral pressure that the character is really turning into a zombie and antibiotics need to be found & used ASAP!

 
What are the odds we can get some more room to work before hitting bedrock in A18?

You are shorting us like 50+ blocks of digging room, having bedrock at +3 makes the ores are too scarce.
