I'd guess that efficient digestion buff increases food satiation while it is active.

Wasteland treasures will surely be the most sought after book, which is nice, since it will bring some of the thrill of discovering key recipes back. However I'd also prefer that more survival QOL recipes are tied to electricity.

 
The "efficient digestion" buff that comes with the mineral water. It implies there's some new "digestion" mechanic, and if so I missed it. If so, maybe the subject for the next video?

That must have been gazz's German localization.

 
Good God I'm sick of this argument against immersion. If immersion means nothing why aren't you just still playing text adventures. The only purpose of graphics is to make the game more immersive..

At the end of the day form follows function. The current ! works. However you have to ask yourself, does this fit the tone of the game, and I'd say no it doesn't. Most likely we'll change it to something, but its not going to make the game any more fun or not, but yeah we don't want to something jarring to look at. Its an effective placeholder, but you'll need to look at it for another alpha.

You haven't seen half the books yet. There are some really nice ones. This one is good don't get me wrong, but there are a lot of gems.

 
Wasteland Book set

Madmole

I just saw your video for wasteland books, worth the hunt for scavenger play.

Question: Does that mean that you've tied in a weighted variable for armor types and materials? Example Iron plate

slows your actions , vs light military fibre. If so this is nice for mix and match decisions depending on your strength

and agility level.

 
OMG just try A18 and get over it. LBD is not coming back unless someone buys the company. A18 smokes 16, 17, Fark, Crust, Gay Z, the Forrust, Subfartica, the Shaft, Stranded Geek, you name it I have a pun for it :D Sorry but you don't have to shove cacti up your ass to level any more.

Nah, I'm just not interested in playing the game in it's current form. If i want to play Fallout, I'll go play Fallout, I actually still have all the DLC's that I haven't had time to play through yet.

I'll just wait and maybe you'll rebuild that part of the game again. Otherwise, once you hit full release maybe I'll be in the mood to spend 20-50 hours on the game. Or mod it to something that has longer lifespan.

EDIT: To clarify, my issues aren't just with the LBD being gone, but rather the flow on impact of that. I'm not interested in the new action oriented direction that seems to have come to focus with the skill system change. I bought this game for the in depth survival experience it had the foundation for. I definitely was not looking for another action "rpg' that rehashes the same old experience of every other game in the genre. The difference in how the two systems work with those different kind of games just happens to be the central issue.

Lets get this started.

DaVega, go suck a rock (yes thats an r)

Roland, math is for nerds, (uncool geeks)

Gronk, what is the meaning of life?

KingSlayer, minecraft is for 5 year olds..

Kage, learn to conserve ammo.

Lastly, MadMole, how much percent of a Sequel is A18?

Miss me ? :)

THAT sir, is no overstatement!

If a player is very lucky, or extremely persistent, the game can deal them: The mother of all royal flushes! (Non-cheat God Mode) :D

But most players will only get a small subset of them, showing the game has replay-ability built in. That is very amazing and someone is a great game designer at TFP!

Oh. I gotta take the opportunity to ask while on this subject, The quests gotten from the old pre-trader system with notes, like the 'kill 3 screamers' etc. Will they eventually revert back to the 'old' ways of actually finding the Z's needed? It feels kinda weird to just go to a ! and the needed Z's spawned, gave much more incentive to travel and hunt when needed a certain type of Z.

(If these quests is not in even invanilla A17, I apologize. haven't played it unmodded for a while)

 
Wasteland books are great. But the speed you are uploading those video tells me that game release is at least month away from today. Hope it is sooner.

 
We were discussing the vanilla game not having any replay value because of the game design. You can't just throw mods into that argument, especially when pcs are 2% of that audience and only a small % of them installed mods.
Edit, even if we were, I'd have never installed any Fallout or Skyrim mods if the base game wasn't awesome to begin with.

hey at 6k hours, I can't really say the game sux now can I, not honestly. and from what you have dispalyed, a18, looks good. when I get it, I can tell you how great it is, but no matter how great a game gets, you will always recieve ideas on what could make it better.

Madmole, might want to add a special sound and a notification when collecting all books in a set, to make a person realize they got then all. It could be added in like A18.1. (Maybe use the A16 level up sound? I mean, it is a big thing when you collect all books in a set.),
