Yes, in an zombie apocalypse with no running water you would think a water catcher would fit in. Maybe having some tank(s) that catches rain and having a pipe connected to an indoor sink same as wires attach now from generators to electrical items.ok fair enough but water catchers look cool to go with my Solar and Echo setup
Seriously though, a larger water vessel that you can drink from or care would be nice. yes I can make 20 buckets but I can't use a bucket to boil or to convert to water bottles.
when we move water to create fountains, ponds, moats, it is a pain, most servers we are not in creative mode so larger containers would help.

I think this is the highest I've seen for the reviews of this game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/251570/
If A18 is as good as the Pimps are touting then I can see an "overwhelmingly positive" rating.
Also, I swear zombies don't climb ladders anymore, like at all.

Wait... a...minute. Very positive reviews WITHOUT "learning by doing" . So many people here have told us THAT was the reason of the mixed/negative reviews. LBD must be back in? I mean, the LBD crowd couldnt have been wrong so it must be back.

Idea about the way of pumping the character in the game!!!
This post is about the way of pumping the character in the game. You have refused to passively increase the perk level with the help of the action, but now many players are outraged that by killing zombies you can find out how to extract ore and so on.
I have an idea how to add logic here)
We have 5 attributes. Each attribute allows you to create a specific character class. Each attribute contains perks that are needed by this character class.
I propose to add to the game NPC attribute teachers:
- NPC teacher Perception (perception attribute and his perks);
- NPC teacher Weightlifter (attribute Power and his perks);
- NPC teacher Survivor (attribute Fortitude and his perks);
- NPC teacher Slick (attribute Agility and his perks);
- NPC teacher Scientist (Intellect attribute and its perks);
These will be the same NPCs as traders, only they will sell knowledge (levels of attributes and perks).
For each level of attribute or perk, the teacher will need to give away experience points and some money, food, parts, or something else.
Teachers can also have separate bases, or travel the world.
Teachers will be able to randomly appear in the locations of merchants every few days, which is much better.
On the first day, the Perceptualist teacher, on the fourth day - the Survivor teacher, on the ninth day - the Scientist teacher and so on.
This approach will make it logical to increase the skills of the character, and will add interest to this part of the game. Also, teachers will be able to give quests, and as a reward increase some level of attribute or perk.
What do you think about it? I think it's very good idea... may be for A19 )))

Missing time critical sales.
Still I know why it's just not ready, but times like sales and year events i.e. Halloween, Christmas etc releasing a major update at these times is major business sense.
That off my chest, roll on A18.
Thing is they seem to miss the best chances of capitalising on positive sales. The release of A18 before the steam sales would have been climatic timing for the game and the reviews.

But AX.0 is always bad and gets bed reviews. You need to wait until AX.3 to be playable usually

Personally do not like it to be honest. When i need to craft medicine on tenth day and finally got levels for that, i need to do it on tenth day, not on 18th day. Also, running away from gathering, building and looting trough half the map just to buy perks same way i did, only now it "looks better".
I was just looking at the Steam page due to the comments above and was looking at the screenshots. I didn't realize all zombies lean to the left... Looks pretty bad actually. I mean, I didn't really notice it before so it can't be all that bad, but in a screenshot, it really stands out.

Realism/suspension of disbelief is one of the more minor positive aspects of LBD. This sounds like it would be super clunky compared to what we have now, and the idea that you NEED a teacher in order to learn isn't that realistic anyway. It's certainly disempowering, and not in a good way.

I like the idea, but I don't think I would want it in the beginning of the game. Things like this to get into some really specialized stuff during the late game would be nice though. -- a little something to do, new little goals to achieve when you would otherwise be twiddling your thumbs in between moments of same old.
a lot of these ideas sound great as long as a lot of them can be adjusted or turned off completely. I find that some people (myself included) like the grind and realism at times but a there are also a lot of my gaming buddies that play a lot of other games of similar genre and like to skip certain grindy things after a few resets. in co-op mp, it sort of sucks when certain people get stuck with tasks and dont have time to hit up higher tier POIs or one or two people getting tied to building.
boosting xp is a great generic way, but not every task is all that balanced especially if share xp is on. buffed mining xp actually encouraged others to help with the grindy stuff.
