speaking of bars. can we please get iron bars to angle like a ramp. comes in handy with dart traps and turrets. atm I am using rebar ramps to protect and shoot through. trust me in a zed apoc, I would definitely be ramping those things.

Its called trussing.

Its to early for math, my head hurts now *walks away to grab a coffee*

How dare you say the C word after I already had my quota... *Walks away to cappuccino maker*

Hey MM thanks for the base tour, loved it!
I noticed that you used storage crates...

and also signes, because you didn't have the right symbols. For example for mods.

Any chance that you could add new textures for the storage boxes?

Suggested categories:

• mods
  
• vehicles parts
  
• electricity parts
  
• plants / farm / garden
  
• armor / clothing
  
• materials
  

That feels like a never ending rabbit hole. An improvement to the sign system would probably be better. Like be able to paint on a storage crate and type whatever you want, only accessible through the radial menu so normal activation doesn't activate the sign would be sweet.

That is absolutely no reason to ignore something if it makes the game too easy. Or hell, even if it makes it too hard but only after people have "gotten their money's worth."
An imbalanced game is an imbalanced game no matter how many hours someone has in it. Armor should scale WITH, or slightly faster than, the mobs difficulty. It should NOT outpace it so bad that all danger is gone. If it does, the late game needs balancing.

Its fine. I got rekt last night, and I haven't got rekt in 50 hours or so. And I'm the tankiest of tanks. Take a no armored guy and put him through what I did or light armored guy they would have been toast much faster.

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

Really? Try ingestion.

Your right ofc but I just had to drop this here.

Would it also be possible for players to lock signs in singleplayer in a future update? Unless there is a way to do just that and I'm simply missing it, if you put signs on a box in SP, it's sort of annoying that about 20% of the time you accidentally click on the sign to edit it and not the box that it's placed on.

EDIT: I misread your post, so ignore mine. Having a feature like this implemented would be sweet.

Keeping the symbols but changing the text would be fine. One line is enough if characters have variable size.

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.

LOL!

I wonder if this patch Will optimize the game much more. I play with 8 GB of Ram, AMD Radeon HD 6410 A8 and a processor of 2.2 GhZ. Is that low? Or can run the game correctly?

It runs better than 17, so if you could play 17 then you are in business.

 

[madmole]

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

Its not brains they are saying its "pains".

 

[ZombieSurvivor]

Its not brains they are saying its "pains".

lmfao

 

[MechanicalLens]

I believe in equality. If I have a broken leg in-game, I'm crippling all the zombies that I come across.

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.

That one is already in. You can take all with R and it fills your duplicates, then you drop them one by one. I do that all the time in my drop chest for later ordered storage.

There's A LOT of situations in which the feature I'm suggesting would work: The most important of them being having to drop things in a chest as soon as possible because:

1-Night is approaching

2-Horde is approaching

3-A combat is near

4- Any situation in which you don't want to order your ♥♥♥♥e and just want to play the game as soon as possible without shift clicking all the time . So we just drop everything in an storage and keep going.

So, as you see, It doesn't suck at all. And quite a few games have it because It's useful.

I don't know the coding but that would the perfect solution. Similar to Arks radial menu and just have the default press open/close or whatever.

I agree with him with the fact though i like visuals (pretty) things so i try to paint my stuff accordingly so my meds crate is the med sign tools tools etc. how hard/easy it is to add a new paint mesh?

This is a friggin' genius idea!!! This is way better than anything I have thought of or heard from others as a solution.

You have no idea how much time this would save me when it comes to keeping my storage spaces organized.

agreed. Shift clicking IS NICE imo but a drop all in those situations i could of used SO many times on day 100+ nights XD

Store duplicates...i need to go change my underwear hang on...

How would a store all suck? Just as there is a "take all" it would be nice to have the opposite. I also love the idea of a button to send all the duplicates into the chest! The game is really shaping up to be something awesome! Can't wait to see how you guys implement bandits as well as some new zombie types!

I suppose it would suck if you accidentally pressed it when you were in one of your chests?

You can just die and drop all your ♥♥♥♥ if you have it on manly settings We'll have a look at some point, we talked about it last week.

It kinda wouldn't if It's limited to things in your backpack and not in the belt. Though even if it's raw "alldrop" It wouldn't be as bad as dropping the ak to the floor lol because it would only work inside storages. Win win.
