Okay, thanks! I'll get in you dark and wet basement, where some shady stuff has definitely happen just before I got in :) You're a good friend.
No one ever saw Trankitas again.

It is about the percentage of similar structures in some parts of DNA molecule branches, that gives us similar properties, as being part of Animal Kingdom. Don`t imagine it as a tree with parts of all kind of animals limbs or tissues or whatnot, instead normal tree, its the properties that they all together gave us, to our organisms to be such a thing as what we are now.
Or what we took from them :D

Thanks for mentioning the protein part, I skipped it because we will need a whole new thread to explain.

Well, plant DNA and animal DNA simply cant transfer properties as the nucleotides are arranged differently, thereby are almost impossible to do so.

Its interesting however. Like we all have a gene that can produce vitamin C, for example, but in most mammals its turned off.

Its not junk, its just not used... yet. ;)

Perhaps if TFP want a science angle for a plot: some mad scientist tampered with DNA creating a new species as a plot point.

Ok I can answer you truly, because I can test it in several similar rigs:
1- GPU: You are waaaaay below minimum requirements here. You will have A LOT of trouble moving the game even on lowest.

2- CPU: It is also below minimum requirements.

3-Ram: The usual available Ram is 6 gb for an 8 ram rig, because you need to take into account the Operating system & other processes Ram usage. 6 Ram is about what you really have if you use an optimized rig, maybe 6.3 tops. So ALSO waay below minimum.

Results: You can play, but you will suffer. You need to play with everything on lowest and lower your game screen resolution to 800x600 to achieve a playable state. With luck you then will have playable FPS with bumps.

Advise: Buy a decent GPU and CPU with those 8Ram (300-500$ rigs out there with nice enough specs) if you want to be able to play without burning up your retinas.

Edit: Like Gtx 1050ti, some 2,7 GH CPU and 8 Ram

Never recommend a GTX 1050 Ti, it’s overpriced and underpowered. He’s better off with an RX 560 or 570.

We have a lot in us from all around the Universe and it is the habitat that makes us how we live and act, and so on. Well said, mate.

Remember, zombies are a product of a medicine that triggered some genes in us, to act in a way that someone wants, but it mutated, caused by what is already in us, crazy.

Really? I thought zombies were just really old people slowly walking around moaning from the aches and pains in there joints.

not 100% true... we feel the pain even when not walking around slowly... :) but then again... going by YOUR name... you should know that :)

and to beerfly... yes they are... but you all will have to explore to find them... they look amazing.

I must say, I liked ALL the things in the video. The combat plays nice and the farming and building changes are getting better by the second.
Just a fast feature request for you Madmole: Some of us would LOVE a "drop everything into the chest" key, but I don't know if it is a simple request or if it takes more than a few hours. Honestly, I can't keep up with all the changes (in a possitive way) so I think we'll live a little more without that feature if needed.

Store all would kind of suck, but we talked about doing a store duplicates so you go to each chest, hit that button and it stores any duplicates of what you have in there, then it would intelligently sort at least.

 
Ok, better. Maximum with all steel armor and lvl5 Pain Tolerance is at 89% then. So you will be able to withstand 2 times the zombie hits before you go down if you just find the rest of the steel armor pieces (while the influence of pain tolerance is rather low with heavy armor)
I suspect if you don't let zombies surround you there is no way to get killed without actively helping them with that much armor. But that's just theory, we'll find out next month hopefully.

Yeah I think I let everyone's comments go to my head about armor being so great, I got rekt last night trying to melee a bunch of feral/rads. I probably lost 200,000 xp.

There it is! Scientist from, The New World Order, attempted to create: "The Perfect Human".

They turned on all the dormant genes in a group of "volunteers". A side effect is total memory loss. Later, in some unknown accident, the one being tested for resistance to the rabies virus escaped.

Years later, the player, the first successful test subject, was sent to the Navazgane area...

 
so looking at that video again and pausing it at the description for strength it says it just works for clubs, shotguns and sledgehammer? I'm not gonna lie it is going to feel really weird not boosting strength for damage with fists or well any Melle weapon. unless I'm missing something.

"Feels weird". "Plays great!". "Feels weird". "Plays great!". "Feels weird". "Plays great!". Reminds me of the old beer commercials "Less Filling" Tastes great!"

Best way for easy storage, it would be awesome :)

 
This is a small ask, but for the sake of OCD, could we start at 101 health and stamina at Lv 1?
Also curious, I think Joel mentioned during the last stream, there won't be a level cap, does this mean if we hit Lv 300+, our health and stamina will also be 300+?
Click to expand...
Level cap is 300, health and stamina cap is 200.

 
Isn't this what they want? They complain you can easily escape, well then, make escape impossible. :laugh:
Nah, I was kidding, I was 50% ironic when suggesting this but at the same time the other 50% I was sick and tired of people complaining that it's too easy. That's the reason I only play single player so I don't hear people complain about this and that and the other. If they think it's easy, well then, put the nightmare speed during the day too and let's see how much you're going to survive.

What I believe is...and I know this has been discussed for a long time, the game feels a bit empty with most of the zombies being sleepers, not wandering outside like in previous alphas. If your "veteran" player complains that it's too easy, if they choose nightmare speed during the day too and they got A LOT of zombies outside, let's see how they are going to make it even from day 1 to 7 without dying at least once or twice. I am curious as to how you're going to address this issue.

If they jack all the settings up and its still too easy, then my answer is mods.

 
Well, letting that slip through would be super dumb. =P
And well, there's always the possibility of zombies with attacks that ignore a % of armor or attacks that debuff you, like cop puke "weakening" your armor... we have quite a few angles there.

That's why some people scoffed at the "only 20% AP" effect that I had set on AP rounds when it really makes a major difference.

Reducing say 60% armor to 40% is not 20% more damage but 50% more.

Not to mention you can shoot through walls and multiple zeds with them lol.
