I'm not a dev and not a moderator.... they do still dig down for you. in our current build :)

 
Today marks the day that in my SP A17.4 world, I have reached 2 million dukes. Who runs the economy? This guy!

Edit: Fun Pimps, you may want to adjust picnic tables in A18. :p Sorry everyone else, but it had to be said.

In regards to 16K maps, I was hosting one till about day 300 or so and it works just fine. However, the load times on the initial download was 30+ minutes. People don't want to have to wait that long to join a server (or few). It was an incredible map and fun. I just recently reset it to a Nitrogen 8K map. There are areas on the map that require serious maneuvering and I can't wait to get my Gyro-copter. You can make a bigger map with mods but it requires horsepower to host and patience from the clients.

Mark 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Duke the things that are Dukes', and to Madmole the things that are Madmole's. And they marvelled at him.

Lol

This is what happens when you have 60 forges burning and producing forged iron and nails 24/7. ;)

 
When a new player joins my game they have a hard time getting over to where I’m at. I don’t like fast traveling but a one time fast travel would be nice for not wasting time looking for your buddy. One time teleport to friends bed.

If you really don’t know, here is how:

F1 Dm Enter

Tele buddy zombiepoptard enter

Dm enter F1

 
When starting a new game can you guys make it so the the cheats and the console controls can’t be accessed ever in that one game. I find it very hard to not mess with those kinds of stuff due to the convenance of altering time and my own restraint.

No. What on earth inspires you to ruin your own experience? Cheating ruins the experience, period. You obviously realize this, because you are asking for a feature to remove console commands. Even if we did add it, you could simply restart the game with --cheats flag, and then open the console and do whatever it is you do. The only fix for this is for you to gain some self control and stop cheating, because you are the problem, not us. Its like telling a beer manufacturer to stop making beer so you can quit drinking lol.

 
wait Gas schematic is back in A18? you don't need it in A17.4.
Click to expand...
You must have missed the memo about every item you can craft with a perk unlock being also unlocked by a schematic? I don't want to buy yeah science, so I am looking for the schematic so I can make gas.

 
I am sure Gazz can sneak in some stackable non quality easy to make javelins from xml. As an alternative to the early game bow but not as great investment as an actual spear. Can make the spears a bit more expensive to craft even then..

Yes lets give someone a giant OP arrow that doesn't need a bow, that is crafted from just wood and let them spam them everywhere. I'm not saying we won't add it, but right now we have 20 weapons that we want to polish so we're not breaking content lock.

Maybe down the road we will let beds be shared by allies and allow multiple beds like RUST.

Precisely. As the saying goes, "If you don't like it, don't use it". I personally only use the cheat commands for creative test worlds and, in survival worlds, if I want to spawn in a decorative item that cannot be accessed legitimately through gameplay. (But I always throw away the materials needed to craft them. Let's say it's day 62 and I'm restoring a house to live in, trying to make it as nice as possible. I would, at some point, spawn in the nicer looking wood doors, but I would throw away, say, 20 wood per door.) It befuddles me when something that is completely under a player's control, and they dislike it, and they want it removed, even though said feature would otherwise completely unaffect them within their game. *Shaking my head*

 
Got me curious, so I really checked if madmoles claim of 22mph was correct. This is based on a block size of 1 m (which is the official assumption AFAIK and checks out with sizes in the game, for example the height of people and the map size).
I used a bike in 7D2D and drove in a straight line for 30 seconds (my stamina didn't last any longer). Was 300m from my starting point. 300m/30seconds is 36km/h is ~22mph.

It seems madmole was comparing to reality too when he said the bike is fast. Can you keep up 35km/h for 30 seconds with a normal bike?

I could hit 35 on my mountain bike on downhills. But 22 is what I clocked players at. I thought bicycles were faster than that. I think its a reasonable speed and leaves room for upgrades as is. Downhill is obviously even faster, I'd guess you could go 40 mph down a hill.

as i stated earlier... if something like this was done... then people would have less use for vehicles.. just hop onto a sleeping bag and tele over for dinner. :)

 
I concur. The bike is great as-is. Probably a bit unrealistically great.
Holding shift down constantly is a bit counterintuitive but it's the thing to do. Then only use "W" intermittently (think woodpecker) unless you're going up a hill. You can maintain maybe 80%+ of top speed almost indefinitely. Only if you're going up a lot of hills will stamina be an issue. Typically you get enough down slopes for it to balance out.

My biggest reason for getting a motorcycle is the increased capacity and my tendency to hit every trader I'm aware of every few days for a few weeks, until I get the particular things I'm short on or complete a particular project. (took 60+ days of that to find a solar bank for sale in my most recent game...so ridiculous)

This is an endless task now in A18, I'm on day 50 and having a blast an still NEED so much stuff. With random stat loot its literally endless. I found my 2nd pink magnum tonight and it did 101 vs 91 damage, so I was really surprised there was one that much better to be found.
